Gravity..

Uh..ha..ha..ha..ha

Yeah gravity is all around

gravity get up or gravity get down

Some heads wanna escape but don't try

you contempt to get fly but you can't defy

And just when you thought you strayed far away

here comes gravity to save the day

here comes gravity to save the day

here comes gravity gravity...

Gravity...you know it make me

think about the space program and...

NASA and all that, know what I'm sayin'

an think he got some place

in space, he do!

It's called Earth

We better off just...

holdin' down this little square that God gave us

Instead of tryin' to...

question the unquestionable

You try to claim the unknown

the unknown claim you...

Gravity is what we

must submit to

[Hook]

New Negro definition:

Gravity is your mother's hand

Gravity is your father's voice

Gravity is your baby's heartbeat in his sleep

Gravity is visiting you birthplace

divine is your race

Gravity is... tender memories of hard times

Gravity put the letters together in my rhyme

Gravity... is all around

Gravity... make we all get down, check it...

Gravity is all around

gravity get up, gravity get down

Some heads wanna escape but don't try

you contempt to get fly but you can't defy

Just when you thought you strayed far away

here comes gravity to save the day

man compared to gravity, son we all jack new

submit to the law 'cause it's a must to
