[Intro] You can't keep me down, you can't keep me down You can't keep me down, you can't keep me down You can't keep me down, you can't keep me down You can't keep me down, you can't keep me down You can't keep me down, you can't keep me down
[Verse 1] See, you ain't rocking for instance You popping, but you robbing hip hop of traditions You ain't rappers, you more like crooked politicians Part of who's creation, new nation Trying to fuck us with no lubrication Raping, never losing to Lucifer Satan Calling me Canaan the caveman in the cave, came close but never caved in The false image of a prophet you praising You living in a nation living in intidimation Due to primitive media manipulation Terror tactics and intidimation, we lack innovation Looking for more fame they control your brain The gullible puppets of the public get played like a board game Get your jaw reconstructed, I ain't no puppet Ain't throwing up no diamonds, here's the middle finger, go shove it
[Hook] Fuck the media posing as experts Fuck the radio, fuck the television networks I'm not apologizing, I don't care what the cost is Go ahead corporations, you can take back your endorsements Fuck the media posing as experts Fuck the radio, fuck the television networks You can murder me before I let you take control (My mind is my own and I'm trusting my soul)
[Verse 2] Telling you their lies and you believe in it The mob minded media mentality speaking to the Insecure sheep looking for leadership Television producers looking for losers Looking for stupider viewers The advertisers dumb it down to consumers You lost your integrity, you sold your soul for fame and fortune You the fetus, I'm the rusty hanger in the back alley abortion You ain't stopping the progression My musical expression always got them guessing When I'm dropping a lesson let it rot in your intestines And why so many folks is jealous that I was co-signed by Biggie? Internet nerds rewriting history lying saying he dissed me I know in your small brains it might hurt But I was there, the closest you ever got was wearing Biggie on your t-shirt Whatever hype they supplying in advertising you buying Let me guide and enlighten their lying I ain't frightened of fighting If you get offended by me and my honesty Tell my publicist, she'll never find me making no public apology
[Hook]
[Verse 3] Yo, from murdering children to dead soldiers to dead civilians To the killings and the bombings of the buildings to borrowing trillions Who's to blame when the brain of the next insane psycho flips? Brain cells are programmed like they're membrane micro chips I'm guns and Bible, I'm pro-life and pro-war, pro-fighting Profanity writing, reciting Gambling, tossing the dice and trifling Riot inciting, no low lighting, no hiding You wanna see the true racist? Just take look at Joe Biden
[Hook]
[Outro] You can't keep me down, you can't keep down You can't keep me down, you can't keep down You can't keep me down, you can't keep down (My mind is my own and I'm trusting my soul)
