Hold Me Down Songtext

von PRO

Why did he have grace on my soul even though I left him out in the cold?
But still he hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, hold me down
He still give me life everyday even though I try to throw it away
But still he hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, hold me down

I wake up before I throw a beater on
Fall to my knees thank the Lord for the new shalom
Don't turn my swag on, matter fact I turn it off
My mission from the boss, to go and seek and save the lost
Not like I'm doin', it the Spirit got me juiced up
Performance enhancer, gon' throw it in my cup
But like Barry Bonds, I don't wanna tell nobody
Then I remember what they did to my Savior's body
And I remember how that was s'posed to be me
How I was never a G, just tryna soak up the scene
While flodgin' off in these streets, I coulda been clapped wit heat
Instead of me six feet, the Lord is given me peace
So I never turn back, on fire like Napalm
Ain't a big enough platter for you to serve me cake on
That mean I'd rather eat dirt than deny the name
I know I'm inconsistent, he still take away the pain

You couldn't tell me nothin', before and made

Hard-headed young nappy boy, tryna get on
Woulda sold my soul for a chance to be that dude
Overdid everything, yes I was that fool
Sat in church Sunday played games with the Lord too
Opposite of Milton Bradley, man I had no ‘Clue'
Pride on the outside, dead on the inside
Thought about suicide, the boy wanted to take his life
Every treasure that I found turned to mud in my hand
Women, notoriety, every dollar of the cash
Awakened by the Spirit, put my faith in the Son
Old things passed away, man I'm tryna get it done
But I fall like, trip like
Wanna stay down, but the Lord strengthen my faith
Shoulda been dead Lord, I don't wanna count the days
Every time you give me grace, I don't understand your ways

Why did he have grace on my soul even though I left him out in the cold?
But still he hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, hold me down
He still give me life everyday even though I try to throw it away
But still he hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, hold me down
