Ground Up - Hold Me Down lyrics

rate me

I'm nothing less than nice, nothing more than real,

I can't afford to stop, can't afford the bills

tryin to turn my two senses into a quarter mill

shout out to my motherf*ckin homies that's a quarter still,

I'm feelin bigger now, I'm nothing short than great,

every time I take a step, I feel life is more to make

nice flows, maestro crazy how I orchestrate

take my girl to Hollywood I'm tryin to californicate,

my people making chatter no thanks to the Reagan era,

a little Jordan and a little bit of Che Guevara

Yeah that's me. Try and outrun me,

we should be up in the league, soon as scouts gonna see,

so face facts, I ain't never wanna take it back

I'll be laying blue prints until the day I fade the black

workin day and nights, somethin' like the way of life,

they used to pay me no mind, it's time to pay the price.

Hook:

It's funny how time flies, funny how love hurts,

funny how things change, I don't know what's worst,

funny how we hit the ground, funny how we got up

we happy in our own shoes they mad 'cause they're not us.

So hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, homie

hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, homie

hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, homie

say hold me down, hold me down, hold me down.

How bout the south call the corner in the cub

got the blood in the trunk so I'm talking to God

saying please I'll be a good man,

if you only let me make it home,

'cause if they catch me I'll be sittin' in that cage alone

My facial features are engraved in stone

just like Saint Jerome

Sit back and let me paint this poem

pull my arm through the Dali and set the scribble,

see the molly the bitches show me your nipple,

shows what's love when you see us on the street corner

three quarter boogie bought itin the beast order

getting paid from Tallahassee down the sweet water,

get out of jail free card from the chief's daughter!

eat what we slaught up, smoke what we nourish

See me dippin' something German, choice to rap it like a turban

plus I'm gettin sucked off,

this swerving where my shawty live

I fuck my servant!

Hook:

It's funny hoe time flies, funny how love hurts,

funny how things change, I don't know what's worse,

funny how we get the ground, funny how we got up

we happy in our own shoes they mad 'cause they not us.

So hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, homie

hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, homie

hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, homie

say hold me down, hold me down, hold me down.

I can only tell my story for better or for worse

and take the gut out and the glory tryin to squeeze em in the verse

the game is like bad bitch I ain't doing first

but I'ma do it till it hurt

best believe I tell that pussy rest in peace

yeah I hail from the east, the land of the beat

I guess I gotta say more, 'cause this suckers ain't believe

what's the move, I'm headed to a meet

and ain't yo ass late for school ooh

they say I'm too rude, true but who's who

we're coming through, whole team, loud mouth lewd Crew

seventeens what you wanna do, keep me in the loop like a shoe string

MJ who bring and sensei who sayin I got too many names

but that's all I fucking change

uploaded to your main frame, caught up in the game

where lames replaced lames,

throw their beg me to change I remain the same thing

I might be a bit strange, but my crew is insane man

[Hook:]
