Kayafyahouse - Couldn't Hold I

Dem couldn't hold I dem couldn't hold I, I, I
Dem couldn't catch I dem couldn't catch I, I, I
Dem couldn't hold I and I dem couldn't hold I and I
Dem couldn't catch I and I couldn't catch I and I

Look how long long long long long
Look how long dem been tryin to hold us down in the mud
Down in the mud down in the mud
Yes, look how long, long long long
Look how long, babylon tryin to keep us down in the slum
Down in the slum, down in the slum
Oh yea , saturday morning a pick up my bag
A tuck up my suitcase and leave yeah, to the dock of the bay
Ain't got no time to wase chase chase chase
Have got a chance
Happiness yeah i was tryin to slip-away, happiness yeah
Never will i wanna stray happiness, do you hear what i say

Dem couldn't hold I dem couldn't hold I, I, I
Dem couldn't catch I dem couldn't catch I, I, I
Dem couldn't hold I and I dem couldn't hold I and I
Dem couldn't catch I and I wo uh

I, I, I, I, I and I got to go, where the green grass grows
Of the skill fell upon my toes, just to keep up the flow
Been through the rain been through the snow
Another breeze started to blow, after a storm there will be a rainbow
Rainbow, oh rainbow hi rainbow

Dem couldn't hold I dem couldn't hold I, I, I
Dem couldn't catch I dem couldn't catch I, I, I
Dem couldn't hold I and I dem couldn't hold I and I
Dem couldn't catch I and I couldn't catch I and I

Look how long long long long, look how long
Dem been tryin to hold us down in the mud
Down in the mud down in the mud
Hi look how long, long long long
Look how long, babylon tryin to keep us in the slum
Down in the slum down in the slum the end
