Hold Me Down - Pro

Why did he have grace on my soul even though I left him out in the cold?

But still he hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, hold me down

He still give me life everyday even though I try to throw it away

But still he hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, hold me down

I wake up before I throw a beater on

Fall to my knees thank the Lord for the new shalom

Don’t turn my swag on, matter fact I turn it off

My mission from the boss, to go and seek and save the lost

Not like I’m doin', it the Spirit got me juiced up

Performance enhancer, gon' throw it in my cup

But like Barry Bonds, I don’t wanna tell nobody

Then I remember what they did to my Savior’s body

And I remember how that was s’posed to be me

How I was never a G, just tryna soak up the scene

While flodgin' off in these streets, I coulda been clapped wit heat

Instead of me six feet, the Lord is given me peace

So I never turn back, on fire like Napalm

Ain’t a big enough platter for you to serve me cake on

That mean I’d rather eat dirt than deny the name

I know I’m inconsistent, he still take away the pain

You couldn’t tell me nothin', before and made

Hard-headed young nappy boy, tryna get on

Woulda sold my soul for a chance to be that dude

Overdid everything, yes I was that fool

Sat in church Sunday played games with the Lord too

Opposite of Milton Bradley, man I had no 'Clue'

Pride on the outside, dead on the inside

Thought about suicide, the boy wanted to take his life

Every treasure that I found turned to mud in my hand

Women, notoriety, every dollar of the cash

Awakened by the Spirit, put my faith in the Son

Old things passed away, man I’m tryna get it done

But I fall like, trip like

Wanna stay down, but the Lord strengthen my faith

Shoulda been dead Lord, I don’t wanna count the days

Every time you give me grace, I don’t understand your ways

Why did he have grace on my soul even though I left him out in the cold?

But still he hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, hold me down

He still give me life everyday even though I try to throw it away

But still he hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, hold me down
