CHILDISH GAMBINO lyrics : "Hold You Down"

[Hook]
Ooh, I want it, yeah
Whenever you need my help

I'll hold you down, oh
Ooh, you want it, yeah
Mother$#&@ these ^!$$%s

Tryin' to hold me down, oh
Yeah, uh
Why in the $#&@ these ^!$$%s try and hold me down, ohh


[Verse 1]
You such a $#&@in' lame

It's what they used to yell back in seventh grade
My momma said she'd get me that new jacket when the cost go down
Hit the office, stole some Tommy Hill from lost and found

Not bad for a family of foster child
Lookin' fly man, I'm flossin' now
But them ^!$$%s saw through me

Are you serious? What is this?
Took the jacket off third period, ellipsis
Listening to "Sky is the Limit" on my Walkman

Thinking if Biggie can make it through it, man then I can
Dope-boy swag
I always wanted that

But my persona was always more of that Arthur Ash
But no love for the son of a commuter
Who was a radio head and okay at them computers

At the post office
It's funny how you smoke ^!$$%s then you start coffins
All my people need throat lozenge

My fear is dead
Ambition drove the hearse
But ^!$$%s got my feelin' I ain't black enough to go to church

Culture shock at barber shops cause I ain't hood enough
We all look the same to the cops, ain't that good enough?
The black experience is blackened serious

Cause being black, my experience, is no one hearin' us
White kids get to wear whatever hat they want
When it comes to black kids one size fits all


[Hook]


[Break]
We the baddest ^!$$%, we the baddest ^!$$%
You hear me?

We the baddest ^!$$%, we the baddest ^!$$%
We the baddest ^!$$%, we the baddest


[Verse 2]
The reason that they say I'm nothin' what they seen or heard's
The same reason Will Smith always opposite Latino girls

They only see you how they wanna see you
'Til you make them see you in some other way
I'm trippin' off the other day

Cause God knows what these white kids sayin'
Dude you're not not racist cause The Wire's in your Netflix cue
Subtle racism

It's hard to pin it cause you'd only understand
If you were me for just a minute
This one kid said somethin' that was really bad

He said I wasn't really black because I had a dad
I think that's kinda sad
Mostly cause a lot of black kids think they should agree with that

If you're a father, you should stick around if you could
Cause even if you're bad at it, you get Tiger Woods
MJ

We warriors, we all need senseis
Change everything that we've done so far
I don't mean makin' B.E.T. T.E.R

I mean just the way that we see each other
I won't stop until they say, "James Franco is the white Donald Glover"
Yeah, these ^!$$%s wanted Cookie but instead I gave 'em Loch Ness

Sick Boi for life, my swag is in a hospice
Aimin' for the throne, Jay and Ye said to watch that
They ask me what I'm doin', I say I'm stealin' rock back

^!$$%

[Hook x2]
