Hold Me Down

(album: Never Fold - 2019)

Ayy, we broke the frame on it
They going wild, take a pic and put the frame on it (Yeah, yeah)
Switching sides, I can't oblige, man
How we hit the bottom but he at the top, God's plan, testify
I do this for my family on the island and in Texas
They got my back like chiropract', folks at my neck, no necklace
I told 'em I ain't going back like you turn sessions wreckless
They play with fire over cake, yeah, they must have a death wish
Shout out everyone that kept me held down
Went and crucified my name just to keep me nailed down, yeah
Scraping up a lil' money for my bail now
Showing up every time that I need a bailout, yeah

Ayy, so if they hating, they can get from 'round me
I keep it wavy when they try to drown me
Try to love my enemies, use they energy
Giving me and focus on his P's, yeah, yeah
I got some people that's gon' (Hold me down)
Yeah, all my believers gon' (Hold me down)
Yeah, so I ain't worried 'bout nothing
I ain't fronting when they stunting, all my people gon' (Hold me down)
Yeah, yeah
Someone to hold you down, stick to your side, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Someone to hold you down

Wait, wait, young oops, you don't want no problem
I need space like a rocket, motorbiking, Kawasaki, uh
Yeah, the squad is solid, tried to check me, ballot boxing
We the proof, no receipt but I ain't mad at all these commas, yeah, uh
Yeah, they make it hard to smile
Do it for my cousin locked up, waiting for his trial
Do it for the ones that can't get to it 'cause of trials
For my people still unequal but they do it for they child
Hold it down for me, hold it down for me
With that noise, get from 'round from me, get from 'round from me
If they know me then they down for me, then they down for me
Thankful for the ones that ride for me, that'll ride for me
Hold it down, yeah

Ayy, so if they hating, they can get from 'round me (Don't move)
I keep it wavy when they try to drown me (Keep it wavy)
Try to love my enemies, use they energy
Giving me and focus on his P's, yeah, yeah
I got some people that's gon' (Hold me down)
Yeah, all my believers gon' (Hold me down)
Yeah, so I ain't worried 'bout nothing
I ain't fronting when they stunting, all my people gon' (Hold me down)
Yeah, yeah
Someone to hold you down, stick to your side, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Someone to hold you down

I told Him please to take care for me
I know His peace gon' be there for me
I can see it showing on me
I can see it worth, aw yeah
They want my downfall, watch out for me
Fake friends, they lie but then smile for me
I don't play the games they play, no
We gon' have to do it right

Hold up, hold up, Dad, let me talk to 'em
Daddy know it's ready but he found God
I know I'm broke so all that lead is gon' get drowned out
Riding, what they told me, hammer down now
Feeling like a king, I want the crown now
My turn, hold me down
