x-raided - can't hold us down lyrics

[intro]
the man_in_the_house rule was written to prevent welfare cheating
to make sure that aid to families with dependent children would go only to families headed by mothers
but the effect of the man_in_the_house rule is to create for children an atmosphere of investigation and surveillance
and thus the welfare system and it’s operation turns out to be a system to make life harder for children
the welfare system helps the disintegration of the american family
it uh, offers money to families if the fathers will leave them and stay away
in that sense undoing the very stability of a family and taking away one of the two parents the children of course need
no one will hold me down, no
you cannot shut us down, no

[verse 1]
it’s aneraé brown from the city of kings, sac town
represent for everything north already and back down
born and raised in a crack house, nowadays call it the trap house
opposite of every word coming out of a rapper’s fat mouth
in my dad’s house in prichard, alabama i used to spaz out
could’ve swore i saw a ghost standing in my bedroom in a black cloud
a black child with a vivid imagination, drawing, tracing pictures out them comic books
like “it’s wolverine, momma, look”
but momma shook the spot, left me and my little cousins in alabama and i’m not a crook
but i had to steal and sell pot ’cause i gotta cook
all alone, no adult supervision, no lights, no gas
such a painful memory so f_ck it y’all, let’s go back to the future
flashback, view the present through the jaded eyes of my old soul where it’s dark, hot but it’s so cold
with no codes or morals, no principle for conduct, without that, there’s no growth
and without that, there’s no hope and it’s no joke
[chorus]
no one can hold us down, no
no one can shut us down, no
(can’t stop, won’t stop)
no one can hold us down, no
(can’t stop, won’t stop)
(can’t stop, won’t stop)
no one can shut us down, no
(can’t stop, won’t stop)

[verse 2]
when you sinking in quicksand and there’s no rope to climb up
how the h_ll you supposed to elevate?
no wonder i chose the wrong road as a child, i had to educate
myself, mainly through trial and error
made major and minor errors
a new music seeker, fresh sneaker and v_g_n_ tearer
east waco village dweller, trentwood to the sherman manners
watch as so_called adults conduct themselves in disturbing manners
observing patterns of police brutality can be challenging
when you’re actually walking around in a house full of grieving family
reality bites, say “good mourning amerikkka”
take a million kids to the statue of liberty, let ’em stare at her
are they scaring her or does she feel compassion and did she too weep
for the news that general gordon granger came so share on juneteenth?
is that too deep for your shallow soul?
listen to me when i talk to you
come on lil’ man, take my hand, let me walk with you
is that too deep for your shallow soul?
listen to me when i talk to you
they plan to keep us broke so i’ma ball and leave it all to you
[chorus]
no one can hold us down, no
no one can shut us down, no
(can’t stop, won’t stop)
no one can hold us down, no
(can’t stop, won’t stop)
(can’t stop, won’t stop)
no one can shut us down, no
(can’t stop, won’t stop)
