Childish Gambino - Hold You Down lyrics

[Hook] Ooh, I want it, yeah Whenever you need my help I'll hold you down, oh Ooh, you want it, yeah Motherf** these n***as Tryin' to hold me down, oh Yeah, uh Why in the f** these n***as try and hold me down, ohh [Verse 1] You such a f**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 n***as 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 n***as then you start coffins All my people need throat lozenge My fear is dead Ambition drove the hearse But n***as 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 n***a, we the baddest n***a You hear me? We the baddest n***a, we the baddest n***a We the baddest n***a, 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 n***as 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 n***a [Hook x2]
