Us3 - You Can't Hold Me Down lyrics

You can't hold me down (chorus) You can't hold me down Don't wanna be pushed around Why ya'll wanna stress me for? Can't a young man have fun anymore? Been to more places than you ever saw Why you always wanna keep me poor? Can't my world be cooler than yours? Keep a smoke inbetween my jaws Or is it your job to point out my flaws? Just because you got your mind on pause Cause I ain't got no time tonight For all the things that just ain't right Like traffic lights and crowded trains Tonight it just won't be the same You can't hold me down Don't wanna be pushed around You can't hold me down Don't wanna be pushed around Why you always wanna try and stop me? I don't think you can really top me Can't my car be quicker than yours? Or is it my job to always wipe floors Don't blame me for the way I live My work is done, it's time to give I don't think you should get all mad Just because I wanna groove so bad Cause I ain't got no time tonight For all the things that just ain't right Like traffic lights and crowded trains Tonight it just won't be the same Why you always look at me so wrong Just because I wear my hair so long? Can't my world be bigger than yours? Or is it my job to always wipe floors Can't me talk be smoother than yours Why you always wanna shut your doors? Cause I ain't got no time tonight For all the things that just ain't right Like traffic lights and crowded trains Tonight it just won't be the same
