Alchemist: Hold You Down

Hold you down, down, hold you down
Down, hold you down, hold you down
When it come to teks, I'm similar to a menace
My ol' dog sniffin' caine couldn't fuck with the damage
That I do to a bastard, keep fuckin' around
Won't be nobody strong enough to hold you down
Yeah, I leaves 'em in shock
Niggas get sentenced to life, they stressed in the box
Most of my friends got murdered and damn, I feel lost
Wish I was there when they popped off to hold you down
Nobody but me
I got a whole gang of nigga but that's how you gotta think
If you wanna make it alive and all in one piece
It takes much more of them things to hold you down
Yeah, yo sonny, I'm well connected in the streets
We loyal to each other when it comes to that beef
We get down, don't worry 'bout a thing, my nigga
I foreverly hold you down
Even when shit gets hard I'm goin' to
Make sure that I'm around to hold you down
Will never leave your side until the day I die
I'm gonna hold you down
Recognize that this game can be hard
Long as you roll with me, we are down
Here by your side always to hold you down
Yeah, yo, when the time is worst
Never leave my fam in a jam, I'm dyin' first
Never down to my last dollar, I'm grindin' first
Never take the stand on my fam, I'm silent first
It's goin' down, feel me, the Alchemist in the flesh
And I love this profession but I throw it all away in a second
'Cause I'm down for the cause when my life is threatened
Take this and that, maybe that'll hold you down
Now you know how we cooks the pot up
You could get caught up in some things
You would not want us to slow down
And watch how I mold the sound
So when I ain't around the music still hold you down
But I'ma keep my eyes open, yo, I don't even blink
Keep the pen movin' down the line, I don't even think
Just write it down on the paper, get my vocals in sync
Check how it sound, hold you down
Even when shit gets hard I'm goin' to
Make sure that I'm around to hold you down
Will never leave your side until the day I die
I'm gonna hold you down
Recognize that this game can be hard
Long as you roll with me, we are down
Here by your side always to hold you down
For all my niggas I war for, blow the 44 for
You know I gets down
Even if we trapped standin' back to back
I'll hold you down
No matter if you wrong or right, you still right
For you I lay a nigga down
I don't care if it's the President, I cock my shit
And hold you down
For all y'all bitches in the club if you hop in my truck
First thing y'all gonna go down
And when we get to the telly, I'ma bend you over
And hold you down
Ayo, mob, thugs, drops and trucks
We got enough paper to front, you see our guns and duck down
Somebody finna get wigged
Homey, I hope your outfit'll hold you down
I seriously doubt it, my chain cost a quarter mill'
Imagine what I spend gun shoppin'
Got bullets by the thousands, the shots won't ever stop
They say that we wildin'
And I'm far from recluse
We ride on front street with the fullies in the Coupes
Before the drama and the shootin'
Then I take bullets and die to hold you down
Even when shit gets hard, I'm goin' to
Make sure that I'm around to hold you down
Will never leave your side until the day I die
I'm gonna hold you down
Recognize that this game can be hard
Long as you roll with me, we are down
Soon you'll understand
