heads of state - holding it down lyrics

[intro/scratching]
hold it down

[verse 1:dunn d]
i give a shout out for those down on their luck
or if you’re working hard but all your efforts seem to turn to dust
burn ?all us/or rust? or your good times have a way of corroding
?you earned a cuss? cause a break from it all, is what you were hoping
your way of coping, maybe you turn to drugs or alcohol
maybe you’re trapped in a dark patch and can’t see your way out the hole
when you still got the last laugh, and everything seems to be your fault
and your time’s for others and not yourself, and you put your sh-t on hold
flip the old routines and ways that you’re used to
listen to the wisdom that we bringin’ it’s dunn d and mdusu
it’s not like, suddenly you’re supposed to have a different life
just in those dark times i hope that i can shed some light
keep some time out for yourself every now and then
maybe write some rhymes, that’s how i get sh-t out of my system
so if you listen, you know we spit this bold and strong
bother kicking for you, so take it and soldier on

[hook]
holding it down
for those struggling with the grind of life
holding it down
for those working the nine to five
holding it down
for those trying to strive through strife
holding it down
you know we put out life in rhymes

[verse 2:mdusu]
it’s the hobartian g*nius, subterranean artist beatsmith
making less cold hard per week than parking meters
still you can’t defeat us, believe me plenty have tried
just made me lessoned and wise, with more depth than centrelink lines
at benefit time the best of my life is short compared to the raw despair of former affairs
caught in the lair of the beast, been knocked fair off my feet
and copped my share in the t–th, but still refuse to taste the air of defeat
i keep climbing up the tower so the biters don’t devour it
work the hustle daily to keep on my lights and power
when i finally let it out, even t-tans run and cower
but f-ck it i gotta spit, i can’t stand idle another hour
i got tax to pay, food to buy, cash to make, rules to fight
wax to play, grooves to write, so i relax all day, move at night
track the breaks, through my sight, that’s my fate – tunes for life

[hook]

[verse 3:dunn d]
whether you’re longing for love, or scrounging for money
if you’re bringing up kids, or your housing ain’t running
if some -ssh0l- hates your guts and wants to have you done in
if you’re locked up in prison for a crime in which you did nothing
if someone, close to you, recently p-ssed away
if you’re fighting addictions and drink a cask a day
if your partner’s abusive and you incur domestic violence
if you try to speak out, but others had you silenced
if you’re tied in with people that just bring you down
if your life has been crippled with disease and drought
and pain, and vicious cycles that just eat you up
and beat you up, you were there hurting, i can see the cuts
agree with us, at least this song that we spitting forth
cause we the c-nts who got your back, with the sh-t we done record
so sing the chorus, when you feel you’ve been done bad
cause it’s your time to just keep holding it down and stick it to the sc-m bags

[hook]

[verse 4:mdusu]
so for me, holding it down is pumping out beats
every night and getting by on four hundred a week
being true to my girl, all the rest of my crew
standing up and rocking every gig the best i can do
but you can’t step in my shoes, you got your own sh-t to deal with
real sh-t, they don’t seem to have in clubs on weekends
deep end of debt, births, deaths and rent
hecs and petrol, baby food and ten percent
to that c-nt john howard and his top shelf compadres
making sure that if we get anything then it’s the hard way
the dark days can surely make your heart break
but i ain’t letting no sh-t put me off my pathway
i’ve been walking long enough to hold my own
and through times grown enough to hold control
hold a show and one day i’ll be owning the crown
big goals just surmount, so f-ck up, better be rolling it now

[hook x2]

[outro/scratching]
hold it down
