Eric B. - Hold me down lyrics

[Verse 1] : Stuck on the dark side reaching for daylight Nothing wrong with alright but that ain't me I made suggestions, answers to questions All that they've told me was : let it be [Hook] : 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 meant to fly But I'm reaching out for the sky You know, you know they can't hold me down [Verse 2] : Countless obstacles my life, I just can't seem to do right, but I keep tryin' It seems they wanna knock me down like [?] and still I rise It won't happen this time (Noo) I made up my mind [Hook] : 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 meant to fly But I'm reaching out for the sky You know, you know they can't hold me down [Verse 3] : Mountains in my way I can't lie In times they seem too high, but I just climb I told 'em that I won't stop 'till I reach the other side They don't get to decide (Nooo) I made up my mind [Hook] : 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 meant to fly But I'm reaching out for the sky You know, you know they can't hold me down [Verse 4] : Nothing stay's the same Everything's meant to change See I'm meant to be free So take your chains off me I'm gon' turn it around Nothing can stop me now Some things are meant to be This time it's about me [Hook] : 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 meant to fly But I'm reaching out for the sky You know, you know they can't hold me down [Outro] : Stuck on the dark side reaching for daylight Nothing wrong with alright but that ain't me
