Hold We Down - VYBZ Kartel

All when kingfish and every FBI a look fi mi

Rvssian have di coke inna di boiling pot a cook fi mi

Jordan, mi nuh believe seh ghetto youth control dem destiny

Nuff ah wi deh a jail dat mean di judge decide what’s best fi wi

Dat’s why mi hustle hard try fi mek money

Lawyer fee nuh cheap mi nah guh stress mi madda fi get money

Jah know three and a half years di judge bwoy get eddie

Him nuh si him early twenties and dem gone wid it already

Weeee (ghetto youths) nah guh mek dem hold (dem fi let wi go)

Weeee down (we nuh profit it) nah guh mek dem hold (dem caan

Dweet) weeee down, nah guh mek dem hold weeee down (wi nuh profit)

Blood nah stop run like runner pon di trackfield

Until wi lifestyle dem understand and

Feel how hungry belly plus nothing inna pot feel

Weh politician owe bramma one

Fi tek care of all di hungry kids dem in maxfield

Fi find a roof and a hot meal

That’s why dem a find out how di uzi and di macs feel

Dem caan stop di youths from stop steal

Dweet) weeee down, nah guh mek dem hold weeee down (wi nuh profit)

Wi nah guh mek dem hold (dem caan dweet) weeee

Dem a hold wi down inna di ghetto so long

From mi born grown inna quarrel

Ah di system make wi nuh trust nuh man

Wi grow like grab inna barrel

Food price a ride wi light jaw just hung

Mi guh bang fi draw but mi draw nil

Mi love thugs music but if you nah sing dat

Song ya nuh sing nuh song

Weeee (ghetto youths) nah guh mek dem hold (dem fi let wi go)

Weeee down (we nuh profit it) nah guh mek dem hold (dem caan
