De La Soul - Held Down lyrics
feat. Cee-Lo [Cee-Lo] Allow me.. to break it down.. ah yea yea yea yea yeahh.. Life.. {*humming*} [Pos] This is dedicated to all my folks Diagnosed with a bad case of that proper upbringin And never took the time to fall in line or follow or swallow the thoughts Of the recognized committees who lurk throughout ya cities Ya hood, ya town, no matter which type You from the same type of people try to hold you down Just because you tailor made for bigger and better things Never missed a chance to move ahead of things And what does it bring? I tell you for me it brought jealousy in backrooms from all the stabbin Cats posin as my fan just to get grabbin what's mine I'm livin in times where my daughters are found around kids who can't afford thinkin caps But always found drinkin raps and eatin off beats Claimin laws of the streets - but who made the laws? Everybody playin Rebel with no sign of a Cause [Chorus: Cee-Lo] Well I, feel the world around me I've found, that others, will bring you down, just to be down You've got to make up your mind, where you wanna be Where you wanna go with your life With your life.. [Pos] Yo, I'm never singin the blues but findin the clues to maintain And I been blessed to reign supreme over nearly every dream I had, and I made it come true I'm an imperfect man and I'm holdin the clue to perfection, it doesn't seem to matter what direction I look I find people settin traps Tryin to find the goal - without havin any maps Even friends of mine, jumped on line, just to become my adversary They felt they were entitled to the dairy I made They don't come to chill or behave And they got, toast ready to burn-aca |
