Hold Me Down
Devin Griffin Lyrics

Like it or not I'm doing me it's so hard to see
Whether you like it or not, I'm being true to myself, even though it may be difficult for others to understand.

Can't explain what you've done to me
I can't find the words to describe the impact you've had on me.

Cruising outer space I don't know where my mind's at
I feel mentally lost and disconnected, like I'm floating aimlessly in outer space.

I'ma float around, collect dust and then I fall back
I'm going to drift through life without purpose, gathering insignificant experiences, and then retreat into myself.

Lately, I don't know, I can't see where my shine's at
Recently, I've been feeling unsure of myself and unable to recognize my own potential.

I don't feel a thing, when I fall down it don't hurt bad
I've become numb to pain and disappointment, so when I fail or stumble, it doesn't affect me deeply.

I be living in the dark now
I'm currently in a state of darkness and negativity.

Folks acting funny now
People around me are behaving strangely or differently.

You was supposed to hold me down
You were expected to support and stand by me.

I ain't trying to let you down
I don't want to disappoint or betray your expectations.

You hold me down, you hold me down
You provide me with stability and support.

I need you when I need you and I need you now
I rely on you for emotional support, especially in times of need.

We go on this dark path
We continue down this gloomy and uncertain journey.

You send me a text that's in all caps, saying you hate me
You express your anger towards me through a text message with every word in capital letters.

But I know that's all cap
But I understand that it's all just exaggeration or false claims.

'Cause in the end we always gonna come back (Always gonna come back, yeah)
Because ultimately, we will always find a way to reconcile and reconnect with each other.

I don't know what you're so mad about
I don't understand the reason behind your intense anger.

I'm pouring up this cup so I can drown you out
I'm using distractions, like pouring a drink, to drown out or ignore the negative energy you bring.

But you put me down, down, down-down-down
But you continuously bring me down and diminish my self-confidence.

But I come back around-round-round-round-round
But despite the setbacks, I always manage to bounce back and return to my true self.

Every time and I'm sick of it
Each time this happens, I become tired and fed up with the cycle.

Getting all up in my business
You're overly involved and intrusive in my personal matters.

Why you on some bullshit, for real
Why are you acting in a deceitful or insincere way?

Used to think that Cupid could shoot to kill
I used to believe that love could be powerful and destructive.

But he missed his target no matter how bright a star gets
But love often fails to reach its intended recipient, regardless of how successful and prominent they become.

It seems to fade out, out
Love appears to fade or disappear completely.

At the end of the night-ight-ight (Yeah-yeah-yeah)
When the day comes to an end, and darkness surrounds us.
