Hold It Down

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Yeah

Chorus

Told my dawg I'd hold it down

Hold it down

Told my dawg I'd hold it down

Same corner same crown

Told my dawg I'd hold it down

Hold it down

Told my dawg I'd hold it down

Still the same ones around

Verse 1

Rented out the whole top floor for a Tuesday

Mama called me asking why I never come home

I said mama I been working on my patience

Truth is I been working on my tone

Late nights I rehearse my apologies

Then I hang up before the first ring

Somewhere between the city and the summer

I misplaced a couple things

Chorus

Told my dawg I'd hold it down

Hold it down

Told my dawg I'd hold it down

Same corner same crown

Told my dawg I'd hold it down

Hold it down

Told my dawg I'd hold it down

Still the same ones around

Verse 2

Shorty said I move too careful

I said careful is a habit not a flaw

Every person that I trusted got a story

Every story got a clause

So I keep my circle smaller than a rolex face

Keep my word bigger than my name

If you need me you already know the place

I ain't never gotta explain

Bridge

Hold it down

Hold it down

Tell me who was there when it wasn't down

Who was there

Who was there

Tell me who was there when it wasn't down

Chorus

Told my dawg I'd hold it down

Hold it down

Told my dawg I'd hold it down

Same corner same crown

Told my dawg I'd hold it down

Hold it down

Told my dawg I'd hold it down

Still the same ones around

Post-Chorus

Down down down

Yeah I hold it down

Down down down

Yeah I hold it down
