A John Park Production.

Title: "Hold It Down"
Artist: JOHNPARK

[VERSE 1] Young Professional
Damn
Why is life so hard?
I don't like the way I'm living
I don't like my job
Everyday I work, and I feel like something's missing
Everyday I'm hurt, and I feel like no one listens...
Every morning I'm up before the sun
And my work is done after dark
And I'm asleep by one
No time for family
No time for friends
Somebody understand me
Im tired again...
Pale like a ghost
I never see the sun shine
I wanna sail to the coast and just chill sometimes...
I thought I was working to live a good life
But this can't be what the good life looks like
Why do I bother to be somebody I hate being?
I can't take being a fake human being
Waiting for my chance to make it seems endless
I gotta break the cycle and end this...

[CHORUS] x 2
Yea, I know it's rough right now 'cause
My life really isn't quite like what
I thought it'd be
I'm older now
I gotta make it work
I gotta hold it down...

[VERSE 2] Blue Collar Worker / Single Father
Damn
He thinks life's so tough
My man got a job
But for him it's not enough
I barely make a living and he's making six digits
I take what I've been given and I take it to the limit
Never asked for a helping hand
No, that won't do
A man's man and I stand on my own two
But I do what I can to put food in the fridge
I could live with less
But I want the best for my kid...
He's growing fast
Just finished the third grade
I know he's sad I'm missing his birthday
I spent a lot of time with him before his mother left
But now I work side jobs on top of a double shift
I'd give anything to play ball with him
If I had free time, I would just talk to him
But time is money and money puts clothes on his back
My son wants to chill
But I know he knows that I can't

[CHORUS] x 2

[BRIDGE]
God, yea, I gotta hold it down
God, yea, I gotta hold it down
God, yea, I gotta hold it down
I gotta hold it down, I gotta hold it down
God, yea, I gotta hold it down
God, yea, I gotta hold it down
God, yea, I gotta hold it down
I gotta...

[VERSE 3] Son of Blue Collar Worker / Single Father
Man
Why is life not fair?
I come home from school
And my dad's not there
The other kids get picked up by their parents
I don't even know where mom is
I'm embarrassed
We never had a lot
But dad was always funny
Through the hard times I knew daddy always loved me
Dinner used to be Fruit Loops and late snacks
He'd hang out with me
Shoot hoops and play catch
Now I got chicken and vegetables on my dinner plate
But I'm not hungry knowing that my dad is working late
Tommy's dad's rich
But he's mean to him
Old people think we can't see through 'em
I know my dad's hurting but he smiles for me
Coming home from work he's always gonna rush right in
The way he picks me up I know he'd die for me
God when I grow up I wanna be just like him
God, yea, I wanna be just like him
God, yea, I wanna be just like him
God, yea, I wanna be just like him
God, yea, I wanna be just like him...
