Canis Major - Hold It Down (The Conversation) lyrics

[Verse 1: Brian Gonser] I heard legends never die Something you can't describe At the peak of Mount Olympus Where the gods like to rise In the early morning sun The rays blister on the pavement To contemplate what i'm doing It all started in the basement With a pen, a pad Vapor for some inspiration At the age of 8 I seemed to have a revelation For myself, my mind Created a design To do right by the verse And obey with the grind [Hook: Brian Gonser] Promised myself that the money won't possess Old school 96' sh**, Word to Lord Finesse Came up under Marshall, Nas, and Biggie Hold it down for the crew Anybody riding with me Anybody riding with me Anybody riding with me Hold it down for the crew Anybody riding with me, damn Hold it down for the crew Anybody riding with me [Verse 2: PLK] I heard the sun will fall Where I was, I can't recall I learned how to walk I ain't got no time to crawl Cause life will pa** you by In the blink of an eye And lies will cut your tongue In the blink of reply I don't comply with the norms Cause it's socially tainted I let it fall on d**h's ears I don't hear what you're sayin' Won't let nobody make me, change me or define me If you didn't catch it then, then you better rewind me I grew up on real sh**, Took craft to be an artist When rappers put art in the words on their margins Now everybody's starvin', Sold out with the bargain But I stay true to me, I don't care what they're chargin' At 18, I was writin' harder verses than most Me and Fat Billy, Blowin' phillies, Cuttin' up Coke And I walked the dark road but know I see lights Cause before I saw demons, But know I see mics [Hook]
