Lyrics
VERSE1: I’m a social martyr. Cause I choose to follow the father. Ya’ll can do it. But don’t bother harassing me. I’ve been set free. So wickedness got a cease. Trick the treats I don’t need your snickers to fill my figure. I’m living a real thriller. Taking a stand like a pillar or tree. Watch’em flea like a tick killer. Cause HE be meticulously particular. About my lifestyle. I’m an up-town villager. Sow seed & plow diligence in the ground without muttering a sound of discontent. Cause my time is well spent. Be still and chill for a minute that’s how I listen. And keep my rhymes authentic. I ain’t pretending this is how I’m living rise above the sinning. Cause hell ain’t splendid especially when you in it. Infinite that’s a long time to be loosing your mind. Tripping cause your shoes untied loose the Gospel Truth. Regroup and fellowship with the Holy crew. And be quicken intuit like the holy dew. 100% fruit now move with the joy that recoups the soul like juice. CHORUS: (We’re goanna hold it down, hold it down) You’re the Holy one Worthy of my trust You hold it down I can’t thank you enough VERSE2: Now it’s a fight scene. Cause everyday is a struggle to do the right thing. I smell a stank in the breeze. It must be them evil deeds making me wheeze like an asthmatic disease. That breeds treason. For greed is reason enough for heathens feigning for lust. Like a broker I hand over the deed of trust to Jehovah. My soul comptroller HE set the standard of Holiness. Now I stand up under His. Banner of Love. Ya’ll can’t bang this in your club cause it’s to righteous for so called thugs that smug. So we take it to the street where we walk in love. And meet the people with a hug. Never worship the herb like urban mugs cause we learn from Moses that spoke to a shrub. Let my people go from them drugs oppression ain’t for us. Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. When I fall down Lord you pick me up. And that means so much. Cause there ain’t no other god I can trust. You’re the only one I want. You hold it down for us. CHORUS: BRIDGE: You Took me out And hooked me up with a new heart You pick me up Lord When I fall down ohh (x3) Oh,ohhhhhHHHHHH VERSE3: Heavenly excepted. I stand corrected. So my rhyme method’s a tool to tame skeptics. That strive for recognition but regret it. Cause like Hannibal they cannibalize the message. And compromise for secular executives effecting the mix. Expecting a weapon cause wickedness breeds wickedness like a cyst it’ll grow on ya. If ya shake it gropes on ya. Like a rope on ya neck. The anaconda’ll squeeze you to death. Like track meet I need to catch my breath. Cause I’m running and I haven’t seen the finish line yet. Selah. I break left and cut to the chase. On bended knee I’m seeking His face with thanks for His grace. Through aches and pains I gain wisdom in all things. And if I fall I call God so my perspective’ll change. The ‘B’ comes first so when I ‘HAVE’ I ‘BEHAVE’. Preserved like a man in a cave. It’s amazing how He triangulates my location when I stray. That must be love’s way. So I’m a hold it down everyday. CHORUS:
