Hold You Down Lyrics - Camp - Childish Gambino

Ooh, I want it, yeah 

Whenever you need my hand 

I'll hold you down, oh 

Ooh, you want it, yeah 

Why in the fuck these niggas 

Tryin' to hold me down, oh 

Yeah, uh 

Why in the fuck these niggas try and hold me down, ohh 

You such a fuckin' lame 

It's what they used to yell back in seventh grade 

My momma said she'd get me that new jacket when the cost go down 

Hit the office, stole some Tommy Hill from lost and found 

Not bad for a family of foster child 

Lookin' fly man, I'm flossin' now 

But them niggas saw through me 

Are you serious? What is this? 

Took the jacket off third period, ellipsis 

Listening to "Sky is the Limit" on my Walkman 

Thinking if Biggie can make it through it, man then I can 

Dope-boy swag 

I always wanted that 

But my persona was always more of that Arthur Ashe 

But no love for the son of a commuter 

Who was a radio head and okay at them computers 

At the post office 

It's funny how you smoke niggas then you start coffins 

All my people need throat lozenge 

My fear is dead 

Ambition drove the hearse 

But niggas got me feelin' I ain't black enough to go to church 

Culture shock at barber shops cause I ain't hood enough 

We all look the same to the cops, ain't that good enough? 

The black experience is Black and serious 

Cause being black, my experience, is no one hearin' us 

White kids get to wear whatever hat they want 

When it comes to black kids one size fits all

Yeah, uh 

Why in the fuck these niggas try and hold me down, ohh 

We the baddest nigga, we the baddest nigga

The reason that they say I'm nothin' what they seen or heard's 

The same reason Will Smith always opposite Latino girls 

They only see you how they wanna see you 

'Til you make them see you in some other way 

I'm trippin' off the other day 

Cause God knows what these white kids say and do 

Dude you're not not racist cause The Wire's in your Netflix queue 

Subtle racism 

It's hard to pin it cause you'd only understand 

If you were me for just a minute 

This one kid said somethin' that was really bad 

He said I wasn't really black because I had a dad 

I think that's kinda sad 

Mostly cause a lot of black kids think they should agree with that 

If you're a father, you should stick around if you could 

Cause even if you're bad at it, you get Tiger Woods 

Or MJ 

We warriors, we all need senseis 

Change everything that we've done so far 

I don't mean makin' B.E.T. T.E.R 

I mean just the way that we see each other 

I won't stop until they say, "James Franco is the white Donald Glover" 

Yeah, these niggas wanted Cookie but instead I gave 'em Loch Ness 

Sick Boi for life, my swag is in a hospice 

Aimin' for the throne, Jay and Ye said to watch that 

They ask me what I'm doin', I say I'm stealin' rock back 

Nigga 

Ooh, I want it, yeah 

Whenever you need my hand 

I'll hold you down, oh 

Ooh, you want it, yeah 

Why in the fuck these niggas 

Tryin' to hold me down, oh 

Yeah, uh 

Why in the fuck these niggas try and hold me down, ohh 

Ooh, I want it, yeah 

Whenever you need my hand 

I'll hold you down, oh 

Ooh, you want it, yeah 

Why in the fuck these niggas 

Tryin' to hold me down, oh 

Yeah, uh 

Why in the fuck these niggas try and hold me down, ohh
