Holdin’ Me Down

[Intro: Bonez]
Constantly being held back, dawg
Ugh
It's like, once they got their foot on your throat; you ain't going nowhere
No matter what job you get, whatever the fuck you're doing
They'll still try to get your money, dawg
Fuck em

[Chorus 1: Sitara]
Feeling trapped in this world, no coming back in this world
And I gotta break free, gotta break free
Of all these chains, that are holdin' me
Feeling trapped in this world, no coming back in this world
And I gotta break free, gotta break free
Of all these chains, that are holdin' me down

[Verse 1: Bonez]
With life, you took your best shot
Dawg, is that all you got?
I can't and will not be stopped, I'm climbing to the top
I've lost a lot along the road that I have travelled
I've watched in awe and now they're gone away to pick your battles
See, life's been fucking with me for a long time
And I guess it's alright, I would die to get mine
Go and play the cards you wanna play, say just what you wanna say
I'ma be on that, okay? I've paved my way against the grain
Against the odds, liquor hard, chains around my legs and arms
Looking up to pray to God, but oh my lord, my God was gone
No one knows me, all alone
But little did I really know
Your people always loved you, Bonez
Even though you're cold
So go and do what you gon' do, you didn't know I'm bullet-proof
You never fucking stopped me, dawg
Go fuck around, get you removed
And what I gotta prove? I ain't got nothing to lose
You couldn't walk a fucking half a block while in my shoes

[Chorus 1: Sitara]
Feeling trapped in this world, no coming back in this world
And I gotta break free, gotta break free
Of all these chains, that are holdin' me
Feeling trapped in this world, no coming back in this world
And I gotta break free, gotta break free
Of all these chains, that are holdin' me down

[Verse 2: Bonez]
It seems like every second second, life is getting harder
Keep your head above the water, 'cause the waves are getting taller
You will not stop me, cannot hurt me
I know that you've heard me, why am I not worthy?
I control my destiny, it isn't in your hands
I will not fall victim to the wicked plans of man
Took the chains up off my body, stronger now I stand
I paid the price of sacrifice like no one else who can
Gotta gotta go, gotta get away-way-way
Never I stay safe, ready the game, mane
Life is never easy when I walk into the frame, mane
Hooked up in the chain gang, but I gotta maintain
You rise above it, you will hate it or you love it
You ain't fuckin' saying nothing that I haven't overcome yet
Sometimes I'm gonna [?]
Which way to go? Move fast or slow?
Double it up, and get some mo'
Fucking it up, and that's for sure
I ain't never going back to that, I'll make it on my own
I am Bonez, I am home, 7-0-1

[Chorus 2: Sitara]
Feeling trapped in this world, no coming back in this world
And I gotta break free, gotta break free
Of all these chains, that are holdin' me
Feeling trapped in this world, no coming back in this world
And I gotta break free, gotta break free
Of all these chains, that are holdin' me down
Feeling trapped in this world, no coming back in this world
And I gotta break free, gotta break free
Of all these chains, that are holdin' me
Feeling trapped in this world, no coming back in this world
And I gotta break free, gotta break free
Of all these chains, that are holdin' me down
