about

This song is about staying true to the leading of God in our lives and lifting up His name.

lyrics

(Verse 1 - Elliot)
Said I’ve been in it for a minute, and there’s one thing that I know, in this life there will trouble. It’s a battle for the soul!
I went from following the crowd, to one that’s holding it down. I had to pick up the sword and humbly lay down my crown.
See me and e, we’ve got skill for real, repping the battlefield, called to this place, no matter how we feel.
So don’t bore me with your story, a reason, an excuse, it’s time to stand up, with hands up breaking chains with the truth.
Now I can think of 10,000 reasons why we hold it down, but why here and why now? (C’mon, well just look around.)
Too many people with no home, no job no peace no rest sleeping bags and trash all over the road, the ghost of Tom Joad.
In a world of confusion, complaining how it came to be, I break free from that institution cause change starts with a better me!
Holy Spirit infused, a guarantee not to lose, it’s getting dark and hell's hot. Oooh I think I smell bbq!

(Chorus)
Who turned the lights out? We’re in a fight now.
Things might get a little bit difficult right now!
We battle the spiritual. Weapons are lyrical.
Battle torn & worn out. Yeah, we need a miracle.
If the weight is too heavy to lift roll it round
If the future’s too hard to predict settle down
If desire is too hard to resist, pray out loud
& if your flesh tries to rise up: Hold it down!

(Verse 2 - eCsiLe)
Too many emcees remain braggadocios, me I’m not claiming to be tougher than most,
Me & E… we got skills for real, I think it shows but the truth it’s it’s not us we came to boast in.
Some of these youngsters seem to be precious but in reality they lack mature focus,
We’re holding it down in a world so atrocious,
The devil’s a clown but God is ferocious!!
And we ride at the side of the most high, invoke Christ, & choke lies out of existence, expose why this world is a counterfeit trying to provide excuses for you to spend it all on a broke life,
Listen close little bro to this advice, when you leave here it’s either gonna be abundant life for eternity or a bonfire spinning your soul over the flames like rotisserie

Who turned the lights out? We’re in a fight now.
Things might get a little bit difficult right now!
We battle the spiritual. Weapons are lyrical.
Battle torn & worn out. Yeah, we need a miracle.
If the weight is too heavy to lift roll it round
If the future’s too hard to predict settle down
If desire is too hard to resist, pray out loud
& if your flesh tries to rise up: Hold it down!
