[Intro]
I don't need no one to hold it down
My homies know when to hold it down
My lady got it, she hold it down
I get it poppin', I hold it down
I don't need no one to hold it down
My homies know when to hold it down
My lady got it, she hold it down
I get it poppin', I hold it down

[Hook]
I don't need no one to hold it down
My homies know when to hold it down
My lady got it, she hold it down
I get it poppin', I hold it down
Hold it down, hold it down, hold it down, hold it down
I'm goin' right to the top, can't nobody stop it, I'm focused now
I don't need no one to hold it down
My homies know when to hold it down
My lady got it, she hold it down
I get it poppin', I hold it down
Hold it down, hold it down, hold it down, hold it down
I'm goin' right to the top and they know it now

[Verse 1]
Ain't nobody took these risks, nah
I don't owe nobody else shit, nah
Everybody wanna act down
But they be the ones like put me on the list, no
Better pay me my cash, yeah
Blood money for my art, yeah
I know when I make my splash
That I'mma be the one that's swimmin' with sharks
Hold it down, I'm in the studio sleepin'
I got off of tour and my roommate just stole my shit
I learned a healthy distrust for the women I fuck
And the people I'm homies with
Petty shit isn't important, nah
I'm gettin' to live what I dream about
I been runnin' from devils forever
But I'm exercisin' my demons now
'Cause all of the homies are eatin'
My haters lookin' anemic
Doubters done turned to believers
'Cause we took the long way, it's scenic
Nobody did me no favors
I only took what I needed
I made my share of mistakes
But I learned from it, I don't repeat it
