Hold You Down |
Oh, I want it, yeah |
Whenever you need my hand |
I’ll hold you down, oh |
Oh, you want it, yeah |
Why in the fuck these niggas |
Tryin' to hold me down, oh |
Yeah, uh |
Why in the fuck these niggas |
Try and hold me down, ohh |
«You such a fuckin' lame!» |
It’s what they used to yell back in seventh grade |
My mama said she’d get me that new jacket when the cost go down |
Hit the office, stole some Tommy Hill from lost and found |
Not bad for a family of foster child |
Lookin' fly man, I’m flossin' now |
But them niggas saw through me |
«Are you serious? |
What is this?» |
Took the jacket off third period, ellipsis |
Listening to «Sky Is the Limit» on my Walkman |
Thinking if Biggie can make it through it, man then I can |
Dope-boy swag, I always wanted that |
But my persona was always more of that Arthur Ashe |
But no love for the son of a commuter who was a radio head |
And okay at them computers at the post office |
It’s funny how you smoke niggas then you start coffins |
All my people need throat lozenge |
My fear is dead, ambition drove the hearse |
But niggas got me feelin' I ain’t black enough to go to church |
Culture shock at barber shops cause I ain’t hood enough |
We all look the same to the cops, ain’t that good enough? |
The black experience is black and serious |
Cause being black, my experience, is no one hearin' us |
White kids get to wear whatever hat they want |
When it comes to black kids one size fits all |
Oh, I want it, yeah |
Whenever you need my hand |
I’ll hold you down, oh |
Oh, you want it, yeah |
Why in the fuck these niggas |
Tryin' to hold me down, oh |
We the baddest nigga |
We the baddest nigga, yeah |
We the baddest nigga, we the baddest nigga, uh |
We the baddest nigga, we the baddest nigga, uh |
We the baddest nigga, uh, we the baddest nigga |
The reason that they say I’m nothin' what they seen or heard’s |
The same reason Will Smith always opposite Latino girls |
They only see you how they wanna see you |
'Til you make them see you in some other way |
I’m trippin' off the other day |
'Cause God knows what these white kids sayin' dude |
You’re not not racist 'cause The Wire’s in your Netflix queue |
Subtle racism, it’s hard to pin it |
'Cause you’d only understand if you were me for just a minute |
This one kid said somethin' that was really bad |
He said I wasn’t really black because I had a dad |
I think that’s kinda sad |
Mostly 'cause a lot of black kids think they should agree with that |
If you’re a father, you should stick around if you could |
'Cause even if you’re bad at it, you could Tiger Woods or MJ |
We warriors, we all need senseis |
Change everything that we’ve done so far |
I don’t mean makin' B.E.T. |
T.E.R |
I mean just the way that we see each other |
I won’t stop until they say: |
«James Franco is the white Donald Glover» |
Yeah, these niggas wanted Cookie, but instead I gave 'em Loch Ness |
Sick Boi for life, my swag is in a hospice |
Aimin' for the throne, Jay and Ye said to watch that |
They ask me what I’m doin', and I said I’m stealin' rock back |
Nigga |
Oh, I want it, yeah |
Whenever you need my hand |
I’ll hold you down, oh |
Oh, you want it, yeah |
Why in the fuck these niggas |
Tryin' to hold me down, oh |
Oh, I want it, yeah |
Whenever you need my hand |
I’ll hold you down, oh |
Oh, you want it, yeah |
Why in the fuck these niggas |
Tryin' to hold me down, oh |
