[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 ****** show me love but in their hearts they envy me
Why? I'm just a ***** from around the way
Told my momma I'll make it happen and I found a way
Pour out some liquor for my ****** at the crossroads
And may the Lord give guidance to the lost souls
I know that deep inside these ****** know it's more to life
Then mackin hoes and stacking dough
Man I'm sort of like a ***** who done seen greener grass
So when they think they ballin like The Dream Team
My ***** I done seen meaner cash
And I'm trynna get it, follow me ***** I'm on a prowl
Headed to the top! You watching me *****? 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 ***** 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 ******* 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 ***** 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 **** my momma doing drugs, at times it's hard to feel blessed
In this madness I holla at my ***** in the sadness
Remember when ya momma tried to beat you with that bat ****?
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 ***** 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 ********, 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 ******* every ho
And girl I ain't gon lie and say I won't cuz **** 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
