You Can't Hold Me Down

You can't hold me down

You can't hold me down

Why you all wanna stress me for?

Can't a young man have fun anymore?

Been to more places than you ever saw

Why you always wanna keep me poor?

Can't my world be cooler than yours?

Keep a smoke in between my jaws

Or is it my job to point out my flaws

Just because you got your mind on pause?

'Cause I ain't got no time tonight

For all the things that just ain't right

Like traffic lights and crowded trains

Tonight it just won't be the same

You can't hold me down

Ain't gonna be pushed around

You can't hold me down

Ain't gonna be pushed around

Why you always wanna try and stop me?

I don't think you can really top me

Can't my car be quicker than yours

Or is it my job to always wipe floors?

Don't blame me for the way I live

My work is done, it's time to give

I don't think you should get all mad

Just because I wanna groove so bad

You can sit down and let the world

Bring you down in that spiral twirl

You can't penetrate the crust

And rise above the ice like us

'Cause I ain't got no time tonight

For all the things that just ain't right

Like traffic lights and crowded trains

Tonight it just won't be the same

You can't hold me down

Ain't gonna be pushed around

You can't hold me down

Ain't gonna be pushed around

Why you always look at me so wrong?

Just because I wear my hair so long?

Can't my world be bigger than yours

Or is it my job to always break laws?

Can't my talk be smoother than yours?

Why you always wanna shut your doors?

I ain't got no time for your wars

You don't have to worry about me no more

'Cause I ain't got no time tonight

For all the things that just ain't right

Like traffic lights and crowded trains

Tonight it just won't be the same

You can't hold me down

Ain't gonna be pushed around

You can't hold me down

Ain't gonna be pushed around

You can't hold me down

Ain't gonna be pushed around

You can't hold me down

Ain't gonna be pushed around
