Song: Can't Nobody Hold Me Down (Original Club Mix)
(Puff) Ahe he
(Mase) Yo turn me up in the headphones
(Puff) Like that?
(Mase) Yeah
(Puff) Bad Boy... we ain't gon' stop
Verse One: Mase
Now with Sean on the hot track, melt like it's hot wax
Put it out, all the stores, bet you could shop that (that's right)
Leave a n***a with a hot hat, fronting like
Bad Boy ain't got tracks (n***a stop that)
There's no guy slicker than this young fly n***a
Nickel-nine n***a, floss you die quicker (uh-huh)
This fed time outta town pie flipper
Turn Cristal into a Crooked I sipper
Everbody want to be fast, see the cash
f** around they weak staff, get a heat rash
Anything in Bad Boy way we smash (we smash)
Hundred G stash, push a bulletproof E-Cla** (ehehe)
I'm through with bein a player and a baller
Just want me one bad b**h so I can spoil her
Mase wanna be the one you respect, even when you're vexed
Rock Versace silks over spilled brunette
Got green never seen so you s** my j**els
Clutch my uz', anything I touch I bruise
Puff make his own laws, n***a f** your rules (that's right)
Goodfellas, you know you can't touch us dudes
Chorus: Puff, Mase
[Puff] Don't push us, cause we're close to the, edge
[Puff] We're tryin, not to lose our heads, a-hah hah hah hah
[Mase] I get the feelin sometime that make me wonder
Why you wanna take us under
[Puff] Why you wanna take us under
(repeat 2X)
[Mase] Can't nobody take my pride
[Puff] Uh uh, uh uh
[Mase] Can't nobody hold me down... ohh no
I got to keep on movin
Verse Two: Mase
Broken gla** everywhere *gla** shatters*
If it ain't about the money, Puff, I just don't care (that's right)
I'm that Goodfella fly guy, sometimes wiseguys
Spend time in H-A-W-A-I-I
(Mase can you please stop smoking lah lah?)
Puff why try? I'm a thug, I'ma die high
I be out in Jersey, puffin Hershey
Brothers ain't worthy to rock my derby
Though I'm never drugged, I'm the venom in the club, G
Though I know the thug be wantin to slug me (uh-huh)
Could it be I move as smoove as Bugsy? (yeah)
Or be at the bar with too much bubbly? (c'mon)
Yo I think it must be the girls want to lust me
Or is it simply the girls just love me
Brothers wanna: rock the Rolls, rock my clothes
Rock my ice, pull out Glocks, stop my life (uhh)
I'm like, "Damn, how these n***as got they trust?
Used to be my man, how you gonna plot on my wife?"
Do you think you snake me, cause they hate me?
Or he got his Ph.D; Player Hater's Degree? (Ahaha!)
Chorus
Verse Three: Mase
Quit that! (uh-huh) You a big cat? (yeah)
Where your chicks at? (yeah) Where your whips at? (where dey at?)
Wherever you get stacks, I'ma fix that
Everything that's big dreams, I did that (that's right)
Don't knock me cause you're boring
I'm record sales soaring (*whistling*) straight touring
Simply a lot of men be wantin to hear me
Cause their words just don't offend me (uh-uh, uh-uh)
We spend cheese, in the West Indies
Then come home to plenty cream Bentleys (ahehe)
You name it, I could claim it
Young, black, and famous, with money hanging out the an*s
And when you need a hit, who you go and get? (who?)
Bet against us? Not a sure bet
We make hits that'll rearrange your whole set (that's right)
And got a Benz that I ain't even drove yet
Chorus
[Mase] Can't nobody take my pride
[Puff] Uh-uh, uh-uh
[Mase] Can't nobody hold me down... ohh no
[Puff] I got to keep on movin (keep it movin)
*repeat to fade*
