Hold Me Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Stuck on the dark side
Reaching for daylight
Nothing wrong with alright
But that ain't me
I make suggestions
Answers to questions
All that they told me
Was let it be
Cause all my life
You know i was dreaming about
About a way to find a way out
You know, you know
They can't hold me down
They said a man ain't a meant to fly
But I'm reaching up to the sky
You know, you know
They can't hold me down
There’s obstacles in my life
I just can’t seem to do right
But I keep trying
It seems like they wanna knock me down
Like mya still I rise
It won't happen this time, no
I made up my mind
Cause all my life
You know i was dreaming about
About a way to find a way out
You know, you know
They can't hold me down
They said a man ain't a meant to fly
But I'm reaching up to the sky
You know, you know
They can't hold me down
La da da ra ra
Da da da ra ra
La da da ra da
Yeah
Mountains in my way
I can't lie
At times they seem to high
But I just climb
I told them that i wont stop till I reach the other side
They don’t get to decide
Noo owahhh
I made up my mind
Cause all my life
You know i was dreaming about
About a way to find a way out
You know, you know
They can't hold me down
They said a man ain't a meant to fly
But I'm reaching up to the sky
You know, you know
They can't hold me down
Nothing stays the same
Everythings meant to change
See I'm meant to be free
So take your chains off me
I'm gonna turn it around
Nothing can stop me now
Some things are meant to be
This time it's about me
Cause all my life
You know i was dreaming about
About a way to find a way out
You know, you know
They can't hold me down
They said a man ain't a meant to fly
But I'm reaching up to the sky
You know, you know
They can't hold me down
La da da ra ra
Da da da ra ra
La da da ra da
Yeah
Stuck on the dark side
Reaching for daylight
Nothing wrong with alright
But that ain't me
