q-york - can't hold me down lyrics

no, no, no, no, no, no
no, no, no, no, no, no
can’t nothing hold me down
can’t nothing hold me down, no
oh no, no
can’t nothing hold me down, no, noooo
oooh listen to my story babe
bring it on back, was a teen back in queens
trying to make it out of the hood and do good
misunderstood by my family
but now take a look
oh yeah!
looking for a way for my voice to be heard
using my words to express my hurt
felt it wasn’t worth anything ‘til i picked up the mic
oh yeah!
had to get my mind right
told my momma this is my life
went through the dark now i’m in the light
but it all takes time, right?
i was gassed off my own hype
all i know what i been through was h+ll
but at least it gave me a story to tell
oh yeah!
i’d rather y’all talk than not say nothin’
i take all the hate and i use it to be great
my spirit is awake and it won’t break
only i trust in a few that sucks
‘cause people want to use you
it’s true
so next that i see you act like i never knew you
yeah!
i’m trying to do me and just be free
from all the restraints of judgmental society
what you say i am does not define me
sick with the flow music’s my iv
yeah!
can’t nothing hold me down
no!
ooh nothing you can say
nothing you can do
can make me break my way
no, no, no, no
no, no, no, nooo!
can’t nothing hold me down
no!
look at me fly
look at me fly high
baby my music stays up in the sky!
once upon a time
around 1999
my daddy decided to send me to fight in the sky
to gain all the power
never mind if it turned sour
climb up the ladder
in them corporate hours, oh
screw them fighting and deadly firings
the goals to inspire life
the only fight that i know is the one
that makes me aim high
makes me stay fly
my music’s up in the sky
yeah there’s nothing i can’t do
hard to break like bamboo
and i don’t really gamble but i always bet on myself
uncle drew how i keep my handle
sipping on drink
stacking that bank
celebrating life ‘cause i came from the struggle
and i hustled my way to the top
pauper to a prince, to a prince to a king
flights overseas getting paid just for me to do my thing
marathon man, running through cities, i never thought
had to start my own fire ain’t n0body pass me the torch
now it’s raining down confetti
thinking ‘bout all the friends i lost and it’s heavy
the price we pay
but i’m still here to pay
and if you ain’t get it
i said hair: toupee
ha!
i don’t get ready, yo i stay ready, truth is we don’t have many
so you got to cherish every single second that you alive on earth
put your hand up
yeah!
you know i got a soul like miss ramonne
we turn lead to gold
here to break the mold
and if there ain’t no way we going to blaze our own trail
girl sing!
can’t nothing hold me down
no!
ooh nothing you can say
nothing you can do
can make me break my way
no, no, no, no
no, no, no, nooo!
can’t nothing hold me down
no!
look at me fly
look at me fly high!
baby my music stays up in the sky!
