The way you always hold it down

You keep your head up off the ground

You light the room when you're around

It's like a movie with no sound

The way you always hold it down

You keep your head up off the ground

You light the room when you're around

It's like a movie with no sound

I seem to never stay alive

Maybe I can die in peace right after I get my people out this heat

Structure underneath my feet

Family taught me words

What I use and choose, just to disperse

Speak in code my tongues reversed

I've been tryna make her learn

I can't handle everyday I burn

I've been working day and night tryna earn a brand new life

It's like a constant fight tryna chase the light

The way you always hold it down

You keep your head up off the ground

You light the room when you're around

It's like a movie with no sound

The way you always hold it down

You keep your head up off the ground

You light the room when you're around

It's like a movie with no sound

It's always somethin'

Feelin like you ain't got nothin'

Talkin bout this and that

Runnin round missin that

Glad I'm dyin I'm blessed like that

All them times you can't even take back

Ran my mind couldn't even break that

Suddenly I feel the patience

I feel you next to me adjacent

It's like the warmth you can't replace her

It's like the warmth you can't replace her

The way you always hold it down

You keep your head up off the ground

You light the room when you're around

It's like a movie with no sound

The way you always hold it down

You keep your head up off the ground

You light the room when you're around

It's like a movie with no sound
