Amon Tobin - Hold Me Down lyrics

[Chorus] Y'all know me (Hold me down) People in the front row (Hold me down) F.A.W.O. click better (Hold me down) And I mean (Hold me down) Until they throw me out Y'all know me (Hold me down) People in the back row (Hold me down) Young Silas better (Hold me down) And I mean (Hold me down) Until they throw me out [Verse one] Now I've got nothing to fear And I don't sense any trouble in here And even though I'll be far too drunk to care I never walk into a club unprepared I've got the crew together and we're ‘bout to get high But you never know what could go down outside People come f**ed up out of their minds Some unsavory characters are bound to collide I used to be the peacemaker Maybe it's my nature But eventually I gave in to the cravings of my anger Don't f** about derailing danger You ever had a conversation with a gangster There ain't no trying to chat with them When some hyper-masculine fight starts happening Time period and setting aside You've got to be in the right zone, ready to ride When I hit the parties in the city And I don't got any members of the squad with me Then I'm'a call Kenny “Here's the situation, god, feel me?” “Already” “I don't really want a Remy bottle splitting Any skull of mine while I'm not looking And they're all rookies I'll call you in a jiffy ‘Cause there's a bunch of pissed-off people Right across from where I'm sitting popping off And it's really starting to upset me” [Chorus] [Verse two] Now, look, I don't see no cops and robbers And we didn't come here to start no problems We just came to the bar for a gin and a tonic It was gone, we were going back to the apartment But come on, let's face it: I'm an easy target And I'm always running into people who talk sh** So when he opened his mouth we just called it Heater to the nostrils, leaving him unconscious Now we can sit here and point fingers About whose fault it was for getting violent Drinkers who place blame on the environment That'll never happen Get outside, start wildin' I can't say no to the amounts of green That I now get smoked out with for free When that addictive personality Becomes another sick, twisted mouth to feed It's a human phenomenon we can't solve Can't handle at all or stand tall Can't call the facts wrong or pa** laws That could stop a chemical reaction plants cause So I indulge a little bit Vacuum-like lung strength when I be ripping it ‘Cause talking it out with you co*ks**ers is ridiculous So I'll be sipping ‘til I can't form sentences [Chorus]
