lyrics

"Hold me down
Hold me down, down
Hold me down, down, down, down
Hold me down, down"

"aye, hold me down young...know the sound...
I'm tryna turn this blank page to houses guarded by great danes,
marijuana gardens, estate flossin' my weight gain.
eating, having thoughts of the same, won't be content
until everyone gets hip that nobody's better than him.
the stage presence's a gift, unwrapped with bags of bud.
I got the good, could run the city with it, with the grass I puff.
even had a 'mo county youngin' with the cassie cut...
bout half her head shaved and she was still bad as, uh.
my mind's of a criminal got actions of a scholar,
m.o. is get dollars and youngins, the scents prada, they love it.
I spit lava, erruptin like 2 tecs 'jo...
old souls, young niggas, we the New Retro.
yes! doin' our best to elude devils
thats moving on our grind, tryna shine at the moons level.
to the resumed schedule, by now you know the sound,
on the beat i own the crown, everybody hold me down like..."

"Hold me down (aye, hold me down young)
Hold me down, down (aye, hold me down young)
Hold me down, down, down, down (aye, hold me down young)
Hold me down, down (aye, everybody, know the sound, hold me down like...)"

"Bet you don't now another with a groove like this
And you don't want no trouble with a crew like this
Said you don't know another with a groove like this
And you don't want no trouble with a crew like this

Don't hold me back, hold me down
Don't hold me back, hold me down
Don't hold me back, hold me down
Don't hold me back, hold me down, hold me down"

"Hold me down (aye, uptown hold me down young)
Hold me down, down (soufside hold me down young)
Hold me down, down, down, down (aye, northeast hold me down young)
Hold me down, down (aye, everybody know the sound, hold me down like...)"

"Like an anchor or paperweight.
Don't treat me like a rim when niggas bangin and break-away,
I'm tryna hide the stress from takin it day-to-day
so I don't ever shave like I'm ashamed of my baby face.
but young, I'm always on the paper chase, my new balance stayin laced
still see youngins, book em like the joker, duece then ace of spades.
my man hit me tryna find a place for weight,
said hold me down like a chopper, that's a hammer on HGH.
it made me ponder, exhaling marijuana.
"I'm tryna keep it chill, there's no need to share a sauna"
that's from my right shoulder, my left, inserts there a comma,
adds that, "it's a drought and this jane could play Sarah Connor..."
damn, aye young, I might just put a leg in
and let it go by the o or higher, nothing less than.
politic with bredren, let it go around.
northeast, uptown and PG gon hold me down like... "

""Hold me down (aye, hold me down young)
Hold me down, down (aye, hold me down young)
Hold me down, down, down, down (aye, hold me down young)
Hold me down, down (aye, everybody, know the sound, hold me down like...)"

"Bet you don't now another with a groove like this
And you don't want no trouble with a crew like this
Said you don't know another with a groove like this
And you don't want no trouble with a crew like this

Don't hold me back, hold me down (212 hold me down young)
Don't hold me back, hold me down (Trinidad hold me down young)
Don't hold me back, hold me down (Riverdale hold me down young)
Don't hold me back, hold me down (Seat Pleasant hold me down young)
Don't hold me back, hold me down (Lockwood hold me down young)
Can't hold me back, hold me down (38 hold me down young)
Don't hold me back, hold me down (Cap Heights hold me down young)
You won't do that, hold me down (E Street hold me down young)

Hold me down if you can
Hold me down take my hand
Hold me down if you can
Hold me down be my man"

"Don't hold me back, hold me down (Soufside hold me down young)
Don't hold me back, hold me down (1-4 hold me down young)
Don't hold me back, hold me down (1st-n-O hold me down young)
Don't hold me back, hold me down, hold me down ('Mo County youngins hold me down young)

Hold me down
Hold me down, down
Hold me down, down, down, down
Hold me down, down"
