(1st Verse)
When they H to the O-L
D me I know well
It usually isn't gonna go well
Oh well, the X should've been the symb o-l
That you were gonna end up well below hell
It's yo L, isn't it so swell
You can fidget, twist, and you can go yell
There is no tell, no wait, I won't dwell
Oh wait, Ill go now and leave you with a person named yourself
And hopefully you'll see your hope fail
Cause in your fantasy, there will be no help
Regardless of what they might do
Even despite who they can try to
(Chorus)
Hold me
They think that they can
Hold me
But they will never get to
Hold me
Down (x4)
Hold me
They think that they can
Hold me
But I will never let you
Hold me
Down (x4)
(2nd Verse)
I was ten feet under
Within a coffin I was locked in deep slumber
All it took was one clap of the thunder
Then it just sundered
Who would've wondered
I chose my only option
I broke right out the coffin
What good's a memory if those within it are forgotten
I peeked my eyes around for people watching
The coast was clear so I just ripped the yellow tapes with caution
I threw it all into where I had fallen
Continued walkin, 'cause even the electric fences weren't shockin'
Didn't plan on stoppin I was hoppin right through
Even despite who they can try to
(Chorus)
Hold me
They think that they can
Hold me
But they will never get to
Hold me
Down (x4)
Hold me
They think that they can
Hold me
But I will never let you
Hold me
Down (x4)
(Bridge)
Sometimes I reside in the darkness of the night
As I rise from demise my eyes look at the sky
No matter what they doin' imma just let it pass me by
And still I wonder why they try to
(chorus)
Hold me
They think that they can
Hold me
But they will never get to
Hold me
Down (x4)
Hold me
They think that they can
Hold me
But I will never let you
Hold me
Down (x4)
(Outro)
Hold me down
But they will never get to
Hold me down
Hold me down
But I will never let you
Hold me down
