Hold It Down Lyrics by BLACKGOLD (UK)

BLACKGOLD

2022

[Verse 1]
Not much fucks to give back then
There wasn't much to think about back when
We walked halls like kings and queens armed with pens and not guns
'Cause guns are too violent
Silent killer with less bloodshed
An ink stain removes much easier than blood-red
Well, so I've been told
It's been a long long time since I washed my clothes
I'm a good man sorry for the black heart
I need some jump leads, give me a restart
If I could start my life again
I'd have listened in school and found a better use for the pen
Than to chew on and void into space
I know we all need a little time to be misplaced
But what a waste, all the faces I graced
I apologise, I apologise
[Chorus]
We try to hold it down
Hold it down
We try to hold it down
Hold it down
We try to hold it down
Hold it down
We try to hold it down
Hold it down
[Verse 2]
One shoelace done up and the other untied
Could have asked for help but I had too much pride
With my finger firmly held on play
I had three tapes to choose from, how random are they?
Queen's 'Greatest Hits' and Cypress Hill 'Black Sunday'
And The Prodigy's 'Slightly Jilted Generation'
Which got my heart racing
Pacing up and down the same old streets gave me aspiration
I'm a good guy sorry for the black heart
It clears the air if I tell you from the start
I'm the kind of guy why who robs a house with fingerless gloves
Not to get caught, but to enhance the buzz
We've all done things that we're not proud of
We've all started fires that we ain't got control of
You wonder why I get so high?
It drowns out the sounds of the bullshit
[Chorus]
We try to hold it down
Hold it down
We try to hold it down
Hold it down
We try to hold it down
Hold it down
We try to hold it down
Hold it down
We try to hold it down
Hold it down
It hurts just to survive
We try to hold it down
Hold it down
It hurts just to survive
[Outro]
We try to hold it down
Hold it down
It hurts just to survive
We try to hold it down
Hold it down
It hurts just to survive
We try to hold it down
Hold it down
It hurts just to survive
We try to hold it down
Hold it down
It hurts just to survive
We try to hold it down
Hold it down
It hurts just to survive
We try to hold it down
Hold it down
It hurts just to survive
We try
