Hold Me Down
Natural Heights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They're trying to get the best of me
But I'm living my lifestyle worry free cuz
in this world
They try to hold you down
But I gotta keep on movin'
Yeah they'd like
To see us fall to our defeat
Stuck on repeat
Can't be stopped
No one can slow me down
Well I gotta keep on pushin
So if you try to step in my way
Oh yea
Well all I can really say!!
Ooh whoa oh yea eh yea
Is no one can hold me down
No one can hold me down!
No one can hold me down
Yea eh eh yea eh eh yea
Yeah we got
The product and the remedy
Juan C getting down with a wicked melody and
Beat is heavy
We got backbone
Well the kind that's moving through your soul
So please
We don't
Want no fight no fuss
Kindly move yourself to the back of the bus
We got
Diamond eyes
It's our time to shine
What's once yours will soon be mine
So if you try to step in my way
Oh yea
Well all I can really say
Ooh whoa oh oh oh
That if you try to cross my path
Oh no no no
One step forward will leave you in three steps back
Ooh whoa oh yea eh yea
No one can hold me down
No one can hold me down
No one can hold me down!
Ooh yea eh eh ee yea!
Well if you try to step in my way
Oh yea
All I can really say
Ooh whoa oh yea eh yea
No one can hold me down
No one can hold me down
No one can hold me down!
Ooh yea eh eh eee yea
No one can hold me down
No one can hold me down!
No one can hold me down
Yea eh ee yea ee yea
The lyrics of Natural Heights’s song “Hold Me Down” are about resilience and determination in the face of adversity. The song seems to address obstacles and challenges that people face in life, and how these struggles can often hold us down, both metaphorically and literally. The lyrics suggest that, despite these struggles, the singer will not be held down and will persevere with their head held high.
The song starts with the line “Yeah I know, they're trying to get the best of me,” which sets up a tone of confrontation and determination. The use of the word “they” is ambiguous, as it is unclear who or what is trying to hold the singer down. It could be interpreted as society, the establishment, or even personal problems and obstacles. Despite this, however, the chorus repeats the phrase “No one can hold me down” multiple times, which serves to emphasize the message of resilience and fortitude.
The lyrics also make reference to the idea of a “wicked melody” and “diamond eyes,” which add to the idea of overcoming obstacles with a sense of coolness and style. The beat-heavy music and the repeating hook in the chorus further convey this message of confidence and defiance.
