Hold It Down

[Produced By J.Cole] [Verse 1] If my heart stop pumping tomorrow don’t feel no sorrow Cuz life is hard mentally and everything is meant to be Sometimes I ask myself If I was gone who will remember me? It's hard to tell oh-well sit back and sip this Hennessey Now lately it's been hard to tell my friends part from my enemies Cuz plenty niggas show me love but in their hearts they envy me Why? I'm just a nigga from around the way Told my momma I'll make it happen and I found a way Pour out some liquor for my niggas at the crossroads And may the Lord give guidance to the lost souls I know that deep inside these niggas know it's more to life Then mackin hoes and stacking dough Man I'm sort of like a nigga who done seen greener grass So when they think they ballin like The Dream Team My nigga I done seen meaner cash And I'm trynna get it, follow me nigga I'm on a prowl Headed to the top! You watching me nigga? Then Hold It Down [Hook] Hold it down, if you need to holla at me Don’t hesitate to call it ain't a problem I can be there I’d ride for you, lie for you I know you’d do the same, I will die for u So hold it down, when the times is hard, I’ll be around So hold me down and it don’t matter how far I’ll be around Yea, I'll hold you down [Verse 2] You were my nigga from the younger days, we grew up I went to school you went the other way But still my brother man, I'm sitting, reminiscing on All of them bitches we were tripping over, kissing on Or at the skating rink we trying to bag some new hoes And If I need gear, you let me hold ya new clothes and vice-a-versa man But now that life is worster man a nigga slow caking I'm broke trynna chase a dream, you just got probation and I'm stressed Your little sister pregnant what’s next? Oh shit my momma doing drugs, at times it's hard to feel blessed In this madness I holla at my nigga in the sadness Remember when ya momma tried to beat you with that bat shit? Remember your chick Nina man that ass was the fattest Remember my crush on Sabrina? yo, she still the baddest! I'm just glad that I can holla at you, it's been a while And til the next time I hear from you, ay, hold it down! [Hook] [Verse 3] And these are tough times baby but we’ll make it through You know I'm headed for the top I swear I'm taking you Just hold a nigga down through this bad weather The rain falling ain't balling but I have better A women with an ass and a strong mind, it's been a long time Sometimes you on your bullshit, sometimes I'm on mine Will I have a hard time to stay committed? Or do I only want your voice moaning when I hit it? Man only God knows I know deep in your heart you don’t want me to be no star though Cuz groupies out there every show you scared I'm fucking every ho And girl I ain't gon lie and say I won't cuz shit you never know But may the Lord give me strength, I love you more than anything The future mother of my kids, the love is real and if we ever part God forbid I love you still so when I'm on the road don’t trip, you know im down for you Keep it tight and don’t slip, and hold it down for me [Hook]
