Mic Flo - The Lake (feat. Nini)

They can't get me down
They can't get me down
They can't get me down
Cuz peace is with me now
This is devotion when I'm spitting I'm floating
Feeling into everything not constricting emotion
Chilling by this lake that's looking as big as the ocean
While sipping the potion while I'm forgetting the notion
That everything I have isn't enough
It's funny that true growth means forgetting some stuff
This past year truly showed us just living is tough
So each moment I am focused on living it up
But the world seems focused on getting me down
Was surfing waves now I feel I'm beginning to drown
They say the meek'll be the ones that's getting the crown
So humility I seek while I'm living profound
And that's deep like this lake I'm admiring
While I'm escaping my burning environment
When I need a break, nature is supplying it
While I'm chilling by this lake, there's no denying it
They can't get me down
No no, they can't get me down
Man, they can't get me down
Cuz love is with me now
They can't get me down
No no, they can't get me down
Man, they can't get me down
Cuz you know that peace is with me now
Instead of trying to heal society, we let it burn
Repeat the same mistakes, it's like we never learn
No matter what I do true respect is never earned
Cuz of the color of my skin I'm forever spurned?
Who cares I flaunt my color like a stellar's jay
And know those that hate have their own hell to pay
Me I spit heat to make the weak melt away
And this beat it keeps my demons held at bay
It's how I bring the peace in but I'm still beastin'
Not distracted I'm focused on my real reason
Spreading love and light with care and curiosity
That's why I write and why I share with such ferocity
To fight atrocity and move forward with velocity
And honesty, no matter what it's costing me
But now I'm lost in glee sipping on a soft Chablis
Appreciating this lake that has astonished me
They can't get me down
No no, they can't get me down
Man, they can't get me down
Cuz Iove is with me now
They can't get me down
No no, they can't get me down
Man, they can't get me down
Cuz you know that peace is with me now
They can't get me down
No no, they can't get me down
Man, they can't get me down
Cuz Iove is with me now
They can't get me down
No no, they can't get me down
Man, they can't get me down
Cuz you know that peace is with me now
Yo yo they can't get me down
Yo yo they can't get me down
Mic Flo they can't get me down
Cuz you know that love is with me now
Yo yo they can't get me down
Yo yo they can't get me down
Mic Flo they can't get me down
Cuz you know that love is with me now
