J Cole - Hold It Down Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Hold me down, ay if my heart stop pumping tomorrow don't feel no sorrow
Cause 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 ah-well sit back and sip this Hennessey
Now lately it's been hard to tell my friends part from my enemies
Cause 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
Ay may the Lord give guidance to the lost souls
I now that deep inside these niggas know it's more to life
Then macin hoes and stacking doe
Man I'm short of like a nigga who don seen greener grass
So when they think they ballining like The DreamTeam, my nigga I done seen meaner cash
And I'm trynna get it, follow me nigga I'm on a prawl
Headed to the top! You watching me then hold it down!

[Chorus:]
Hold it down, if you need to holla at me
Don't hesitate to call it ain't a problem I can be there Id ride for you, lie for you
I know youd do the same, I will die for u
So hold me down, when the times is hard, Id 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:]
Yea 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 trippening over, kissing on
Or at the skating rink we trrying to bag some new hoes
And If I need yea you let me hold your new clothes and vice versa
But man now that life is worster man a nigga slow caking
I'm broke trynna chase a dream, you just got probation and I'm stress
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 and it's sadness
Member when ya momma tried to beat you with that bat shit?
Remember you chick Nina you 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 to the next time I hear from you
Ay, hold it down!

[Chorus:]
Hold it down, if you need to holla at me
Don't hesitate to call it ain't a problem I can be there Id ride for you, lie for you
I know youd do the same, I will die for u
So hold me down, when the times is hard, Id be around
So hold me down and it don't matter how far I'll be around
Yea, I'll hold you down

[Verse 3:]
Ay these are tough times baby but well 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, sometime 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
Cause groupies out there every show you scared I'm fucking every hoe
And girl I ain't gon lie and say I won't cause shit you never know
But may the Lord give me strength
I loved 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 I'm down for you
Keep it tight and don't slip
And hold it down for me

[Chorus:]
Hold it down, if you need to holla at me
Don't hesitate to call it ain't a problem I can be there Id ride for you, lie for you
I know youd do the same, I will die for u
So hold me down, when the times is hard, Id be around
So hold me down and it don't matter how far Id be around
Yea, I'll hold you down
