J. Cole - Hold It Down Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yo, this for my niggas
Ay hold me down
For my lady, hold me down
Yeah, hold me down

Ay if my heart stop pumping tomorrow don't feel no sorrow (Nah)
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 (Rest in peace)
Ay may the Lord give guidance to the lost souls
I know that deep inside these niggas know it's more to life
Then macin hoes and stacking doe
Man I'm sort of like a nigga who don seen greener grass
So when they think they ballining like The Dream-Team,
My nigga I done seen meaner cash
And I'm trynna get it, follow me nigga I'm on a prowl
Headed to the top, you watching me then hold it down!

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 (Yeah)
I know you'd do the same, I will die for you
So hold me down, when the times is hard, I'd be around
So hold me down and it don't matter how far, I'll be around
I'll hold you down

Yea look
You was my nigga from the younger days,
We grew up, I went to school you went the other way (My nigga)
But still my brother man, I'm sitting reminiscing on (Yeah)
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 gear 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 lil 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
Remember when yo momma tried to beat you with that bat shit?
Remember you 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 to the next time I hear from you
Ay, hold it down!

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 (Yeah)
I know you'd do the same, I will die for you
So hold me down, when the times is hard, I'd be around (Yeah, I'll be around)
So hold me down and it don't matter how far, I'll be around
I'll hold you down

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ay 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 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 (Yeah)
Sometimes 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 f*cking 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

Hold it down, if you need to holla at me (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't hesitate to call, it ain't a problem
I can be there Id ride for you, lie for you (To all my nigga)
I know you'd do the same, I will die for you
So hold me down, when the times is hard, I'd be around (I'll be around, call me when you need me)
So hold me down and it don't matter how far, I'll be around
I'll hold you down
Call me when you need me
Call me when you need me
Call me when you need me
Call me when you need me
I'll hold you down
I'll hold you down
