Oh they come to play? Ha!

Better step it up bruv

grrrrrah

See the gap? It's mad

You're still watchin’ bruv, I’m past that

You're talkin’ dreams, I live mine

You hold a grudge; I hold it down

I hold it down on the mains or backstreets

Grew through rain, never blamed no bad weeks

Made mine clean, never begged no handouts

Now I got racks that sleep in bank sheets

Real ones round me, all still active

Talk gets spun if it ain’t on tactic

Holdin' it down in the ends where it started

Still got scars, but I wear them graphic

Never been loud, I just let dem talk

When it gets long, I don't text, I walk

Came from the mud where the floor stay cold

But I held that down, every call, every load

Stood in the trap with a plan and a prayer

Now I’m on stage with the gang in the air

Too many folded, I stayed firm

Now they want shares, but they didn't earn

I hold it down

When the weight’s on me, I hold it down

When it’s peak and the light goes out

Still in place, I don't bounce

I hold it down

For the real ones, for the cause

For the nights I broke those laws

I hold it down

No slips, no bluffin’

If it drops, I pick up someting’

Still holdin' it down for the blocks I bled

Never been fed, I was cuttin' up bread

Hold up. What you said?

Thomas bout break undead tings wit yer head

Coulda been lost, I was deep in stress

Now I push whips that the jakes might test

Kept that low, never needed flex

You post for likes, I post the check

I hold it down when the vibe feels off

I don't talk much, I just set it off

If I say go, then the thing gets active

Cold with the play, but my soul ain’t plastic

Too many snaked when the shift got hard

I stayed solid in a world full of masks

You held grudges, I held the town

When it got wild, I held it down

I hold it down

When the weight’s on me, I hold it down

When it’s peak and the light goes out

Still in place, I don't bounce

I hold it down

For the real ones, for the cause

For the nights I broke those laws

I hold it down

No slips, no bluffin’

If it drops, I pick up somethin’

I hold it down in the storm or drought

I don’t switch, I route it out

Moves get made and the scene gets quiet

But I still move, no fear, no doubt

Hold it down like I came from stone

Everything built here came from home

They want flash, I want control

Still hold it down with a heart gone cold

Brrrrraaapp

Check the record, never been shook

When it all fell, I stayed put

No retreat, no lookin’ around

I hold it down

No cap in sound

They want buzz, I want the crown

Let them run their mouths in town

I'll just… hold it down

grrraahhh
