You Can't Hold Me Down

You Can't Hold Me Down - US3

Written by：Nat Adderley/Geoff Wilkinson/M. Wadell

You can't hold me down

You can't hold me down

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 in between 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

You can't hold me down

Don't wanna be pushed around

You can't hold me down

Don't wanna be pushed around

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

You can sit down and let the world

Bring you down in that spiral twirl

You can't penetrate the crust

And rise above the ice like us

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

You can't hold me down

Ain't gonna be pushed around

You can't hold me down

Ain't gonna be pushed around

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 break laws

Can't my talk be smoother than yours

Why you always want to shut your doors

I ain't got no time for your wars

You don't have to worry about me no more

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

You can't hold me down

Ain't gonna be pushed around

You can't hold me down

Ain't gonna be pushed around

You can't hold me down

Ain't gonna be pushed around

You can't hold me down

Ain't gonna be pushed around
