[Intro]

That son of a bitch Castro is shitting all over us

Can't nobody hold me down

Can't nobody hold me down

Ohh

[Hook]

And can't nobody hold me down (so fuck what you're talkin')

Can't nobody hold me down, yeah (it don't ever fade me)

And can't nobody hold me down (so fuck what you're talkin')

And can't nobody hold me down, yeah (it don't ever fade me)

And can't nobody hold me down (can't nobody hold me down)

And can't nobody hold me down, yeah (can't nobody hold me down)

And can't nobody hold me down (ohh)

And can't nobody hold me down, yeah

[Verse 1]

I woke up and it was colder than I had expected

So I did what I most days do

I got a call from the homie, a text from my mama

And they both told me "boy we got our faith on you"

Yeah (that s right)

My little sister's getting older now

I just hope that with time, she's getting bolder now

I pray that she don't find a man like me

And I ask the Lord that she ends up with someone that's gonna hold her down

What's money to a dead man?

What's power to the right man?

What's my voice to a deaf man?

Tell me what's my image to a mu'fucking blind man?!

Nothing

And still we want everything

Bad bitch, money and chains

Complain about my shoes getting dirty every time I step out

And my grandad was missing a leg?

Ain't that a shame man

[Hook]

And can't nobody hold me down (so fuck what you're talkin')

Can't nobody hold me down, yeah (it don't ever fade me)

And can't nobody hold me down (so fuck what you're talkin')

And can't nobody hold me down, yeah (it don't ever fade me)

And can't nobody hold me down (can't nobody hold me down)

And can't nobody hold me down, yeah (can't nobody hold me down)

And can't nobody hold me down (ohh)

And can't nobody hold me down, yeah

[Verse 2]

I drink - 'til I can't drink no more

I probably pop these pills until I overdose

I stop and go when I pull out that cornerstone

Cause I'm wicked just like Biggie back in '94

And if I ain't, then I'm back to take these rappers for

I done surprised to fuck their mind and leave my status known

'Cause according to these people I'm an amateur

But see I swore to keep it 100 like an honor roll

So I expose all of these fuckboys for the fools I know

And then you wonder why all these artists 'round here hate me for

Can't just go without letting the truth be told

Your so called gangster life your chain and hoes

Ain't got no foes but you know how this rap shit goes

If you claim you real then what the fuck you worried for?

The case is closed and all these fools have been exposed

But they acting like ain't nobody told them before

[Hook]

And can't nobody hold me down (so fuck what you're talkin')

Can't nobody hold me down, yeah (it don't ever fade me)

And can't nobody hold me down (so fuck what you're talkin')

And can't nobody hold me down, yeah (it don't ever fade me)

And can't nobody hold me down (can't nobody hold me down)

And can't nobody hold me down, yeah (can't nobody hold me down)

And can't nobody hold me down (ohh)

And can't nobody hold me down, yeah
