Half-Centric - Hold Me Down Lyrics

I'll give you everything you ever wanted
All I need is to be wanted
Hold a nigga down
When he's going through something
You responded
No fronting
Helped me take my pieces
Create a whole
An entire universe
To any place we can go
I learned how to be better
Plant the seeds to grow
And you gave me all your water
And I sprouted with flow
Ayoooo
This love gets you through the night
Have you feeling right
And even fights
Never seem to wither
The fruits bounded by the ray of light
And it's bright
Like heliocentric sun
Having visions
Of shorty giving
And she's the official one
Half stepping
And bad repping
Makes egocentric ones
Acting on survival
Protecting the heart at any costs

I was hoping you could
Hold me down
Like I did for you
When you had no one else around
Life was simple when we drove at night right through the town
Now you claim that I am different
You don't know me now

I was hoping you could
Hold me down
Like I did for you
When you had no one else around
Life was simple when we drove at night right through the town
Now you claim that I am different
You don't know me now

Being lifted up
I never realized the air was thin here
This suffocating atmosphere
Left me with a lot of fear
Realizing I wasn't held down
But being held back
Made me want to step back
And try to make things crystal clear
I want to fly
But you are happy being rooted
There's beauty in the earth
And I will never dispute it
You can still reach for the sky
And remain unpolluted
All attempts to be included
And you still felt I excluded
Tough
So here I stand
And I'm blocking your shine
I gave you the truth
To nurture your roots
And standing by my side
A cage bird still sings
Here's the thing
I already had the key
And now I'm free
While you stand by and we die

I was hoping you could
Hold me down
Like I did for you
When you had no one else around
Life was simple when we drove at night right through the town
Now you claim that I am different
You don't know me now

I was hoping you could
Hold me down
Like I did for you
When you had no one else around
Life was simple when we drove at night right through the town
Now you claim that I am different
You don't know me now

Hold me down
No one else around
Right through the town
You don't know me now

Hold me down
No one else around
Right through the town
You don't know me now
