[Intro]
I'm the one that's holdin' the city down
We the one that know to make it count
All I know is we gon make it out
All them n***as hatin' not around
[Verse 1]
Man they hating from the sideline
They never made it out
We been out here for a while now
We tired of waiting out
Since like '07, really starting to take it places now
Now they watching for motivation
Oh sh** we made it now
Time for celebration now
Bring the champagne, I'll bring the liquor
Bring your friends
Bring your girls, yeah, for all my n***as
Way too many drinks, man they can't be good for my liver
Heard 'em talking, but they never been known to deliver
So much [?] in my system, but i'm good though
You know it's lit when we out in the building like it should though
Exactly how it should go
Okay, tell Gloria we on now
No need to let these n***as know they should know
I hope that's understood though
[Pre-Chorus]
They say there's too much in my hands now
They say that's too much in my hands now
But imma hold it down now
Ay, I been through too much to stand down
Told em' its all part of the plan now
[Chorus]
Say imma hold it down for my n***as
Been ridin' round the city on my old sh**
Back on my old sh**
I'm down for my n***as
Sippin' up strong, man I swear I'm in my zone
Man I'm down for my n***as
[Verse 2]
sh** ain't been the same since '92
90 n***as ridin' with me, '90 crew
Catch me at your local party slidin' through
Illest from the Caroline since [?]
I been through too much to let them lie to you
n***as know the truth
They been sellin' dreams, sellin' souls, just to buy some shoes
f** it imma drop this on the chain just to stunt on you
This one for them hatin' n***as
Man I hope I run it too
I'm the one the people talk about
From a place where they ain't really much to talk about
Now we in the hills wishin' we ain't [?]
In the car sleepin', hopin' they don't spot us out, kick us out
sh** been changin' its so different now
Hollywood dreams ain't so out the picture now
Figure it out, we the ones these n***as pissed about
Oh it's crazy right?
n***as hated on me from the start, now they switchin' sides
Oh, this can't be right
[Pre-Chorus]
They say there's too much in my hands now
They say that's too much in my hands now
But imma hold it down now
Ay, I been through too much to stand down
Told em' its all part of the plan now
[Chorus]
Say imma hold it down for my n***as
Been ridin' round the city on my old sh**
Back on my old sh**
I'm down for my n***as
Sippin' up strong, man I swear I'm in my zone
Man I'm down for my n***as
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
I remember we had dreams of all this
I remember we were living lawless
I remember [?]
We ain't care, we would live regardless
I remember after school, the studio, tell me why this sh** feel so nostalgic
Tell me why we had 'em fallin' through every night
While them young n***as flossin'
Tell me why its 4 am and a n***a drinkin' champagne like it's nothing
Now I'm in the studio, back in Jeff crib, like we gotta think of something
Can't do another year of nothing
Can't think another n***a bluffin'
Think about the rooftop in [?]
Really got me questionin' my devotion
[?]
All I gotta
[Outro]
