Hold it Down

Lyrics

V.1 This thing is fatal, long before the cradle While prenatal, sin seeped in through your navel None escape the curse coz none escape the verse Cheese? Please, put away the purse There's a thief coming to pull off a heist Appraise your life and smash up your ice How bad can it get? You gon' throw a fit When all your bling-bling turns to psst-psst All your shine will be snuffed, all your Plat. will turn rust What do you do when life's a must? Is what you're screaming but your meaning is leaning Coz that would make your existence no different than a demon Though we too were condemned, each man now has a choice To choose Christ and rep with more than your voice Coz just what is it that you're really telling me? When you say you love God but live the life of Beelze(bub)? Even demons tried to say, Son of God, what up? Jesus would turn ice grill and say, Shut up! How you gon' try and praise the Most High When you know your native tongue is a lie So if you see life through the eye of Minolta Picture what Christ condemns in the culture Peep the clear picture, it's a muddy mixture How's a Celtic gonna play 76'er? We need elixir when the trickster seems royal Yall, McDonalds don't serve flame broil So if you're truly lost but now you're found If He's truly lifted up then hold it down Chorus: You try to show'em day from night, they're like, What! You try to tell'em wrong from right, they're like, What! You say, yo live the life, they're like, What! That's why we gotta hold it down You tell'em righteousness is tight, they're like, What! You tell'em walk in the light, they're like, What! Praise God when you get your mic, they're like, What! That's why we gotta hold it down... In front of rich men and Ceasars, hold it down When everybody's screaming Jesus, hold it down Even if they ain't believers, hold it down... V.2 This ain't vendetta, love's better We just saying, if it's real then you can smell leather Like Niagara = Falls, vapor action = Halls True Lemonheads tighten jaws We talking cause and effect or called and elect When you choose Christ, you lose the choice to select Whether or not you think righteous living is hot When heavenly-minded is the only choice you got It's getting late and every soldier got to carry his weight Yo we contending for the faith baby boy And you too sis if you chose to enlist In His Salvation Army then it goes like this Because of the Sacrificial Bleeder, we follow the Leader Feed the soul and starve the Saturday night fever Either give a committed pound or bring your sword Or side with this world, name your Lord! Coz the true God don't need an upgrade like your Pentium Why change His steez to meet the needs of this millennium? He won't and you can't so like a deer pants If you thirst after God then raise up those hands Our God has got plans much different than man's So either choose His or be down with Satan's But you can't love both, believe me you'll choke Taking deep breaths in heaven while inhaling hell's smoke Both wheat and both tare grow up together here And we can't separate, Christ made that clear But He also gave truth to let us see Duke You can hide behind lies but can't hide fruit If you headed Uptown and like how this sounds Then keep them hands up for a sign that you're down If you were once lost but now you're once found Then all God's people gotta hold it down
