The Natural Profane - Hold Me Down [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Chorus]

Y’all know me
(Hold me down)
People in the front row
(Hold me down)
F.A.W.O. click better
(Hold me down)
And I mean
(Hold me down)
Until they throw me out

Y’all know me
(Hold me down)
People in the back row
(Hold me down)
Young Silas better
(Hold me down)
And I mean
(Hold me down)
Until they throw me out

[Verse one]

Now I’ve got nothing to fear
And I don’t sense any trouble in here
And even though I’ll be far too drunk to care
I never walk into a club unprepared
I’ve got the crew together and we’re ‘bout to get high
But you never know what could go down outside
People come fucked up out of their minds
Some unsavory characters are bound to collide
I used to be the peacemaker
Maybe it’s my nature
But eventually I gave in to the cravings of my anger
Don’t fuck about derailing danger
You ever had a conversation with a gangster
There ain’t no trying to chat with them
When some hyper-masculine fight starts happening
Time period and setting aside
You’ve got to be in the right zone, ready to ride
When I hit the parties in the city
And I don’t got any members of the squad with me
Then I’m’a call Kenny
“Here’s the situation, god, feel me?”
“Already”
“I don’t really want a Remy bottle splitting
Any skull of mine while I’m not looking
And they’re all rookies
I’ll call you in a jiffy
‘Cause there’s a bunch of pissed-off people
Right across from where I’m sitting popping off
And it’s really starting to upset me”

[Chorus]

[Verse two]

Now, look, I don’t see no cops and robbers
And we didn’t come here to start no problems
We just came to the bar for a gin and a tonic
It was gone, we were going back to the apartment
But come on, let’s face it: I’m an easy target
And I’m always running into people who talk shit
So when he opened his mouth we just called it
Heater to the nostrils, leaving him unconscious
Now we can sit here and point fingers
About whose fault it was for getting violent
Drinkers who place blame on the environment
That’ll never happen
Get outside, start wildin’
I can’t say no to the amounts of green
That I now get smoked out with for free
When that addictive personality
Becomes another sick, twisted mouth to feed
It’s a human phenomenon we can’t solve
Can’t handle at all or stand tall
Can’t call the facts wrong or pass laws
That could stop a chemical reaction plants cause
So I indulge a little bit
Vacuum-like lung strength when I be ripping it
‘Cause talking it out with you cocksuckers is ridiculous
So I’ll be sipping ‘til I can’t form sentences

[Chorus]
