mogli the iceburg - you can't hold me down كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
black kids called me a cracker, white kids called me a beaner
ate lunch in school alone cause i didn’t fit in with either
they told me that i can’t rap
“did you forget your ethnicity?”
but lookin’ back from now they couldn’t see what god
had planned for me
let me get it, let me put it down
one time for, anybody out there followin’ their dreams
anybody in the city workin’ two jobs
so they can get to bigger, better things
you can’t see the hours that i put in
every day and night go to every track i write
go to every beat i made just to hit ’em with the fade
when i stick it to the people that had told me that i couldn’t, yeah
after all of the years that young mogli wore a frown
i finally learned that it’s okay that i’m not white or brown
and though the people lookin’ sideways drive me crazy
you can’t take my pride from me
i’m cool with the way god made me
by the way you react i can tell that your hatred intact
you call me dirty, uneducated, illegal
in fact, went to talk to black lives matter and i said, “latinos do too”
and they told me, “check your white privilege, boy
this is not about you”

[hook]
we gonna make it, ooh we gonna make it
i kept my soul no matter how hard that they tried to take it
ooh we gonna make it, ooh we gonna make it
got adonai by my side
ain’t no way that you can fade it, listen
you can’t hold me down
you can’t hold me down
you can’t hold me down
you can’t hold me down

[verse 2]
got grandpa that was german, got grandpa that’s a mexican
but don’t you say that ’round him, get corrected, we american
family multi-colored from the darker to the fairer skin
and though we share the same blood
blows my mind they still think less of him
we infected with the self-hate
scar tissues from the wounds that are cut deep
so when other people sin we just retaliate
man, it’s our own hearts that are too weak
see confederate flags on the back plates
feel like the tenth one i’ve seen this week
man, that’s the type of thing that make me go crazy, huh
how can this be america?
i still get misidentified, some think that i speak arabic
heard it all before, from towel-head down to a terrorist
the b-tt of all your jokes, i got my hand up on a bomb trigger
but sometimes it gets brutal
“boy you just a stupid sand n—–”
your ignorance astounds me so much that i can’t even get mad
but then i think about my cousins who don’t have the same privilege i have
like if things are this bad for me
how much worse is it then for them?
with no white side for them to lean on
gotta give it up to jesus in the end
