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
