Youâre living on the other side
long before anyone ever thought that anyone can get there and make it all with pride
You made a milestone on your own
long before anyone comes up and breaks your spirit and shove you to the side
Everybodyâs trying to hold you down
Everybodyâs trying to hold you down
Everybodyâs trying to hold you down
Now as you come and wanna take your chance
the road isnât easy without any reason anyone can understand
Whatâs the matter, whatâs the matter, whatâs the matter with this world
Why wonât anybody leave us alone
Everybodyâs trying to hold you down
Everybodyâs trying to hold you down
Everybodyâs trying to hold you down
Everybodyâs trying to hold you down (everybody, ooh everybody)
Everybodyâs trying to make you go away (everybody, ooh everybody)
But you know what to do, and you know what you came here for
and you know itâs not time to let it all go
But everybodyâs trying to hold you down
Everybodyâs trying to hold you down
Everybodyâs trying to hold you down
Everybodyâs trying to make you go away
But you know it ainât easy and you know itâs not time to let go of it all
But everybody, everybodyâs trying to hold you down
Everybodyâs trying to hold you down
