Can't Hold You Down

(album: What Had Happened Was… - 2022)

Damn
It's like, the more and more I smoke, I realize that
I can't even get as high without you

I won't hold you down (Won't hold you down, won't hold you down)
Not anymore
No, I can't hold you down (Can't hold you down, can't hold you down)
Not like before, oh

This is my attempt at tryna be a man
And all I ask of you is to just understand what I'm saying
You can free your inhibitions, you got my permission, speak your mind
Or turn around again and assume the position three more times
It's shit like that that make you think I'm childish
And I know it's unhealthy to have my cake and eat it, too
But how can you say that I can't have another bite of you
When you still doing that thing you do?
Girl, how can I not do it do you?

But when I think about it, I got a lady at home
You taking pieces out it, out of a happy home
She'll cut some pieces out me if you tell her what's going on
If you can't keep it quiet, I gotta leave you alone

I won't hold you down (Won't hold you down, won't hold you down)
Not anymore (Won't hold you down, won't hold you down)
How can I hold you down (Can't hold you down, can't hold you down)
If I can't be yours? (Won't hold you down, can't hold you down)
