You Can't Hold Me Down

You can't hold me down

Don't wanna be pushed around

Why ya'll wanna stress me for?

Can't a young man have fun anymore?

Been to more places than you ever saw

Why you always wanna keep me poor?

Can't my world be cooler than yours?

Keep a smoke inbetween my jaws

Or is it your job to point out my flaws?

Just because you got your mind on pause

Cause I ain't got no time tonight

For all the things that just ain't right

Like traffic lights and crowded trains

Tonight it just won't be the same

Why you always wanna try and stop me?

I don't think you can really top me

Can't my car be quicker than yours?

Or is it my job to always wipe floors

Don't blame me for the way I live

My work is done, it's time to give

I don't think you should get all mad

Just because I wanna groove so bad

Cause I ain't got no time tonight

For all the things that just ain't right

Like traffic lights and crowded trains

Tonight it just won't be the same

Why you always look at me so wrong

Just because I wear my hair so long?

Can't my world be bigger than yours?

Or is it my job to always wipe floors

Can't me talk be smoother than yours

Why you always wanna shut your doors?

Cause I ain't got no time tonight

For all the things that just ain't right

Like traffic lights and crowded trains

Tonight it just won't be the same
