Man, if you not able to see
What I'm saying to you, then you not able to be (c'mon, ooh, yeah)
Just like reading the bible to a baby (uh-huh)

But most of y'all gon' think I'm crazy (oh no, no, no)
I ain't never gave a f*ck about what you think (okay)
What you think don't matter if you think yo' shit don't stink (baby)
Man, it hurts when people that I love don't want me (oh)
Want it all from me, then think they can judge me (yeah)
Treat me like I'm ugly

'Cause I know God love me

Hold me down (even when the rain falls)
Hold me down (hey)
Hold me down, oh (I'm just so grateful)
Hold me down (hey, hey)
Hold me down (a nigga don't need much)
Hold me down (I'm just so thankful)
Hold me down (even when the rain falls)

I'm just so grateful
Nobody, nobody gonna take me down (hold me down)
'Cause I been through it all (hold me down)
Woah (hold me down)

Nobody, nobody gonna take me down (hold me down)

And it's all because of you, yeah
