KATANA
Dravek Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They trying to hold me down but I'm way up
Head up in the clouds imma stay up
Protected from my problems in my armor
Samurai just swinging my Katana
They trying to hold me down but I'm way up
Head up in the clouds imma stay up
Protected from my problems in my armor
Samurai just swinging my Katana
Aye, I'm born to get it and don't you forget it
As long as I'm living I'm stronger in spirit
Than ghosts in a house yeah I'm haunting them good
Going through walls like they said that I should
Taking no chances I'm knocking on wood
Breaking down barriers carriers
Trying to bury us feeling nefarious
Tony Montana my enemies is scared of us
There ain't no bringing me down
Feet never touching the ground how does it sound
Cutting through anything found
Tell me who running this town
See me around
Slicing it dicing it promise I'm nice with it
Like I never had a problem I couldn't solve
Hit them with acid and watch them dissolve
They trying to hold me down but I'm way up
Head up in the clouds imma stay up
Protected from my problems in my armor
Samurai just swinging my Katana
They trying to hold me down but I'm way up
Head up in the clouds imma stay up
Protected from my problems in my armor
Samurai just swinging my Katana
Cut it up
Double up
Never touch
Level up
Cut it up
Double up
Never touch
Level up
Uh never met a problem I ain't faced up
Fighting for my rights approach it straight up
World is at my fingers like a lay up
Slicing through my limits time to make cuts
Always going forward like a train
Never looking back on what I lack I wont complain
Its out of my control so my goals is where I aim
Well composed through my frame make them all know my name
They trying to hold me down but I'm way up
Head up in the clouds imma stay up
Protected from my problems in my armor
Samurai just swinging my Katana
They trying to hold me down but I'm way up
Head up in the clouds imma stay up
Protected from my problems in my armor
Samurai just swinging my Katana
Aye, finally unleashing the beast, keep him released
Take what you talking and speak them to me
Off of the chain why you keeping the leash keeping him free
Do this the truest go through it I knew it
Cant hold me I'm fluid making me lose it
Break it or choose it I'm hating the shaking and taking I'm not with the faking
But people abuse it
Thinking they keeping me moving
Seeing through all the illusions like I got something to prove when
I 've reached the pinnacle blowing through intervals
Been down to earth n that's down to the minerals
Speaking in general you will not take it though
Swing that katana shinobi to break the mold
They trying to hold me down but I'm way up
Head up in the clouds imma stay up
Protected from my problems in my armor
Samurai just swinging my Katana
They trying to hold me down but I'm way up
Head up in the clouds imma stay up
Protected from my problems in my armor
Samurai just swinging my Katana
Cut it up
Double up
Never touch
Level up
Cut it up
Double up
Never touch
Level up
Tell it like it is wont lose no sleep
Stabbing deep, hate to speak, when the sword is from the sheathe
Better practice what you preach Words can only break the weak
If you earn it then you keep, but that hill is looking steep
I was made to fight, had to do that all my life
My if glory is the price, then ill gladly pay it twice




Eyes on the prize only way to make this right
If the moons in the skies then we settle it tonight
