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
motherfuck these niggas
tryin' to hold me down, oh
yeah, uh
why in the fuck these niggas try and hold me down, ohh[verse 1]
you such a fuckin' 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 niggas 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 niggas then you start coffins
all my people need throat lozenge
my fear is dead
ambition drove the hearse
but niggas 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 nigga, we the baddest nigga
you hear me?
we the baddest nigga, we the baddest nigga
we the baddest nigga, 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 niggas 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
nigga[hook x2]

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Donald McKinley Glover (born September 25, 1983) is an American actor, writer, comedian, musician and rapper. Glover first came to attention for his work in the sketch group Derrick Comedy and is best known for his role as community college student Troy Barnes on the NBC comedy series Community.

Glover was born on Edwards Air Force Base, California, and raised in Stone Mountain, Georgia, United States. He graduated from New York University with a degree in Dramatic Writing in 2006. Glover is known for his work on the NBC show Community alongside Joel McHale and Chevy Chase. Glover was a writer for The Daily Show in 2005 and the NBC series 30 Rock from 2008 to 2009, where he also had an occasional cameo appearance. He was presented the Writers Guild of America Award award for Best Comedy Series at the February 2009 ceremony for his work on the third season of 30 Rock.

Glover raps as Childish Gambino, a name he found from a Wu-Tang Clan name generator. He released an album entitled Sick Boi on June 5, 2008, in which he thanks himself. On September 17, 2009, Gambino released the album Poindexter. A pair of mixtapes entitled I AM JUST A RAPPER, and I AM JUST A RAPPER 2 were released in close succession in early 2010; Robert Scahill added his producing expertise, helping with the majority of the tracks.

His third album, Culdesac, was set to be released on July 2, 2010, but a couple of last minute additions caused the album to be delayed for a day. The album was made available on July 3. Glover has stated in interviews that on "Sick Boi" and "Poindexter" he felt he had to hide behind gimmicks, such as pink hoodies. But with his subsequent projects, he has touched on more personal subject matter, including family, schoolyard bullying, troubled romantic relationships, suicidal thoughts and alcoholism. He has disowned his 2002 album, The Younger I Get, as the too-raw ramblings of what he calls a "decrepit Drake."

On December 1 2010, Glover released the first track off of his EP titled Be Alone. He released the next track, Freaks And Geeks, as well as a five-song track list, on February 11. On February 25 2011, Donald released the dates for the IAMDONALD tour and also his very first music video for "Freaks and Geeks." The "Freaks and Geeks" music video was shot by Dan Eckman, the director of the DerrickComedy troupe. On March 8, 2011 Donald released his newest EP via his official website.

On May 4, in a new interview with TheHipHopUpdate, Glover revealed that he's currently working on an LP, to be released in September.

Glover also refers to himself as Cheezy, Sir Durton Cloud 9, Ms. Long-Lady Stanhope, Bambini, and Bam-B.

Glover also DJs and produces his own music under the moniker mc DJ. His music is of the electronic/remix variety and is often made available for free download via his official site http://www.childishgambino.blogspot.com/. His current album releases include Love Letter in an Unbreakable Bottle and Utterances of the Heart.

On November 15, CG released his first Major-label album "Camp" including the single "Bonfire"
