Derek Minor - Hold Me Down lyrics

God's love is like this That while we was yet sinners Christ died for the ungodly That's including me kinfolk Man I constantly fall But some reason, the unmatched grace of the Lord Constantly brings me back to the cross That's why this is my song, let's get it Why did He have grace on my soul Even though I left Him out in the cold But still, He hold me down, ay He hold me down, ay He hold me down, ay He hold me down, ay He still give me life everyday Even though I try to throw it away But still, He hold me down, ay He hold me down, ay He hold me down, ay He hold me down, ay I wake up before I throw a beater on Fall to my knees thank the Lord for the new Shalom Don't turn my swag on, matter fact I turn it off My mission from the boss, to go and seek and save the lost Not like I'm doin' it the Spirit got me juiced up Performance enhancer gon' throw it in my cup But I ain't Barry Bonds, I don't wanna tell nobody Then I remember what they did to my Savior's body And I remember how that was 'sposed to be me How I was never a g, just tryna soak up the scene While flodgin off in these streets, I coulda been clapped with heat Instead of me six feet, the Lord is given me peace (so) I never turn back on fire like napalm Ain't a big enough platter for you to serve me cake on That mean I'd rather eat dirt than deny the name Although I'm inconsistent, He still take away the pain Why did He have grace on my soul Even though I left Him out in the cold But still, He hold me down, ay He hold me down, ay He hold me down, ay He hold me down, ay He still give me life everyday Even though I try to throw it away But still, He hold me down, ay He hold me down, ay He hold me down, ay He hold me down, ay You couldn't tell me nothin', before Jeezy and Game made the song Hard-headed young nappy boy, tryna get on Woulda sold my soul for a chance to be that dude, overdid everything Yes I was that fool Sat in church Sunday played games with the Lord too Opposite of Milton Bradley, man I had no 'Clue' Pride on the outside, dead on the inside Thought about suicide, the boy wanted to take his life Every treasure that I found, turned to mud in my hand Women, notoriety, ever dollar of the cash Awaken my Spirit, put my faith in the Son Old things pa**ed away, man I tryna get it done But I fall like Alicia Keys, trip like Beyonce Wanna stay down, but the Lord strengthen my faith Shoulda been dead Lord, I don't wanna count the days Every time you give me grace, I don't understand your ways Why did He have grace on my soul Even though I left Him out in the cold But still, He hold me down, ay He hold me down, ay He hold me down, ay He hold me down, ay He still give me life everyday Even though I try to throw it away But still, He hold me down, ay He hold me down, ay He hold me down, ay He hold me down, ay Why did He have grace on my soul Even though I left Him out in the cold But still, He hold me down, ay But still, He hold me down, ay But still, He hold me down, ay But still, He hold me down, ay He still give me life everyday Even though I try to throw it away But still, He hold me down, ay But still, He hold me down, ay But still, He hold me down, ay But still, He hold me down, ay
