Thundercat Lyrics
I keep holdin' you down (holdin' you down)
Even though you're not around (you're not around)
So hard to get over it
I've tried to get under it
Stuck in between
It is what it is (is what it is)
Bye-bye, for now
I keep holdin' you down (holdin' you down)
You do with me, you do with me
It is what it is
'Til it ain't
Things will never be the same
Never be the same again
Everything's so strange (strange)
It ain't a game no more (game no more)
We were just gettin' lifted
Yesterday, yesterday
Now we just reminiscin'
'Bout yesterday, yesterday
Keep my head above water
My eyes gettin' bigger
The world gettin' smaller
I been gettin' richer
Only made me crazy
Mama said I'm different
Since I was a baby
My emotions
Give me a sip of that potion
No, my heart is not broken
But I feel like it's open
Please somebody do surgery
Tell the doctor come work with me
I keep lookin' at my soul
Prayin' that only God knows
And I've been workin' nine to nine
Yeah
But they talk about it
But she always so fine
But who can say that
I would be the man of your dreams
I would do all that I can
And be all I can be
I keep holdin' you down (holdin' you down)
Even though you're not around (you're not around)
So hard to get over it
I've tried to get under it
Stuck in between
It is what it is (is what it is)
Bye-bye, for now
I keep holdin' you down (holdin' you down)
You do with me
You do with me

He is part of the new generation of jazz literate, hip-hop loving instrumentalists who can play beyond traditional limits - a mutant jazz cat - and that’s how 'Thundercat' (a monicker he chose), suits him well (even if it’s purely the result of an unhealthy cartoon addiction dating back to childhood).

[Chorus: Thundercat & Ty Dolla $ign]
I'll keep holdin' you down (Holdin' you down)
Even though you're not around (You're not around)
So hard to get over it
I've tried to get under it
Stuck in between, it is what it is (Is what it is)
Bye-bye for now
I'll keep holdin' you down (Holdin' you down)
You'd do it for me, you'd do it for me (It is what it is)

Things will never be the same
Never be the same again
Everything so strange (Strange)
It ain't a game no more (A game no more, woah)
We were just gettin' lifted
Yesterday, yesterday
Now we just reminiscin'
On yesterday, yesterday
Keep my head above water (Head above water)
My eyes gettin' bigger (Eyes gettin' bigger), the world gettin' smaller
I been gettin' richer, only made me crazy (Crazy)
Mama said I'm different (Oh yeah), since I was a baby (Baby)

My emotions
Gimme a sip of that potion
No, my heart is not broken
But I feel like it's open
Please, somebody, do surgery
Tell the doctor come work with me
I keep lookin' at my soul
Prayin', but only God knows
And I've been workin' nine to nine
Yeah

But you know it's all fine (All fine)
But who can say that?
I would be the man of your dreams
I will do all that I can
And be all I can be

Bye-bye for now
I'll keep holdin' you down (Holdin' you down)
You'd do it for me, you'd do it for me

“This song is about Mac [Miller]. When he passed it shook the ground for the artist community. Ty Dolla $ign’s a strong dude and when he heard the song he knew exactly what it should be. I was there when he recorded it. We talked about what it was, and he did what he felt was right to it, and I love what he did.”
