How Was It for You - Hold You Down Lyrics

The crucifix on the wall
Freedom of expression
Religion but the manifestation is flawed
Christianity prevailing over Islam songs
I'm a Christian but I wanna preach equality for all
The signs of displacement forming society in a wasteland
We're dancing on our tiny graces
The rich man speaks up
The poor feeling like a fifteen year old boys, sick
F*ck the riches our paintings gonna drop
Hold up a minute we're gonna turn it up a notch
My right as a person of color
I feel the aggravation molding you, helping you devour
But who am I sitting on this pedestal
In a situation of misplaced good will
Desiring to be understood
In the corner cloaked in a hood
(Who's right, what's right, what should I believe)
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Blazing with the fire the dragons gave us
Balancing this elemental make up
Stopping to keep shop
But the dance can't be held up
It's me and you
Me with my tie and you with the groove
I stop for a moment to look
Reading like a closed book
Angular rhythms shaking this next hook
You liberate my thoughts mistook
So just come on and on and on and on
You can teach me songs of old
And the age capturing deceptions making us stay
Grazing to the sky
Dripping colors wherever we fly
Run to the trees
My acorn top
Flare tops you can't keep up.
How was it for you, we'll make it up to you
Just watch just watch
(Who's right, what's right, what should I believe)
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
(On tv, and radio, I've read the papers and magazines)
(I tried, but I'm still confused, what are the facts, how can I tell?)
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
I don't want to
Hold you down
