Keep Me Down Lyrics - The Fix - Scarface

This song is about a nigga always trying to keep you down 

You know you got to touch that 

We made something from nothing and vowed to never tear it apart 

We turned the street hustle into an art 

That would quickly change life forever for us 

No more riding bikes or catching the bus 

We on the roll up, money to fold up 

With cognac and cooked yola 

Got the neighborhood about to blow up, but hold up 

I see this van sittin?, this old cat in a fitted 

Trying to get your little homey tore up 

Yo bruh, we ain? t working on this corner take your ass on, dog 

? Fore you make me feed your ass to my hogs you fucking fagot 

I know you want to catch me with this bag so you can hide me 

Or with my 44 so you can 45 me

You put this shit off in our neighborhoods and sweat us 

And when you finally catch us up you give us letters 

A cold thing just when a nigga reach his gold man 

You hand him a case for easing out the dope game and I? m 

Watching us unfold with the times 

He don? t really want a nigga to climb 

You? d rather separate me from my family forever 

Instead of trying to keep us together 

You motherfuckers would rather keep me down 

So what I rap about these streets 

That don? t make me be no less of a man 

Than a person that do work with his hands 

It? s bad enough I got to deal with all these pressures that stand 

You tryin? to make me stray away from my plan 

Know what I? m sayin? 

Photos 

I? m from the gutter, where all we had was one another 

No wheat bread to butter, from one bed to the other 

All uncles and no brother my mother? s at work 

My grandfather was my dad and when he died it hurt 

And as I hold back the tears my eye-wells swell 

I been praying for heaven, I been living in hell 

And these niggas in my age group is dead or either locked up 

The bitches no better, they smoked out or knocked up 

But I still love my hood, that? s where it started 

Ain? t no hard feelings, we partners nigga, regardless 

That? s why you always see me coming around 

? Cause I could never turn my back on my town but still I? m 

Watching us unfold with the times 

He don? t really want a nigga to climb 

You? d rather separate me from my family forever 

Instead of trying to keep us together 

You motherfuckers would rather keep me down 

Watching us unfold with the times 

He don? t really want a nigga to climb 

You? d rather separate me from my family forever 

Instead of trying to keep us together 

You motherfuckers would rather keep me down 

Money never changed me 

Money changed the people around 

Now they plot to try to keep me down 

But still I rise like yeast 

Your whole conversation? bout B 

Fuck a nigga talking bout me, I? m a G 

The realest motherfucker ever done it 

You can? t continue to pimp me and y? all eat from it 

So fuck every soul who ever felt like I owed 

Them a god damn dime, or a god damn rhyme 

Or a god damn chance, motherfucker you sad 

You a grown ass man, holding a nigga hand 

Now get out on your own, stop depending on your homes 

To chuck you a bone, and stop throwing stones 

And that goes for everybody thinking it? s them 

Fuck you, you and you her 

Him and him, Tom, Dick and Kim 

All of y? all stand accused saying fuck to me 

And I done bought your children? s shoes I? m 

Watching us unfold with the times 

He don? t really want a nigga to climb 

You? d rather separate me from my family forever 

Instead of trying to keep us together 

You motherfuckers would rather keep me down 

Watching us unfold with the times 

He don? t really want a nigga to climb 

You? d rather separate me from my family forever 

Instead of trying to keep us together 

You motherfuckers would rather keep me down
