What it is
"Hold You Down" is a song by Childish Gambino (Donald Glover) on his debut studio album Camp, released in November 2011 on Glassnote Records. It deals with his upbringing, being picked on at school, and being told he was not Black enough. Camp as a whole examines a young Black man's struggle to find his own identity under outside social pressure.
