[Steele]
Hold me down, I'm movin on the enemy now
For a cause, and he cause ya exort at war

I swore to be dedicated, always elevatin, meditatin
Bout the soldiers who couldn't make it
Take %#@! forever, that's my position, part of my condition

Is to long live the tradition of the stick n move
Get ya tools ready for construction
We prepare to build or destroy somethin

Brooklyn born, I be Steele on the real
And I feel like gettin it on, yo son what's the deal?
For some reason, ^!$$%s be fiendin

And when ^!$$%s be fiendin, they be quick to commit treason
But I keep breathin through, though the season do
Be seemin to get alot more hot than usual

So, who can I confide in, who can I trust to bust when I'm ridin
I don't need no last minute surprises
From those who pose as friends but they be lyin

I keep my eye on the snitch that's spyin
Plottin to brake down my whole enterprises
Some ^!$$%s soft but some ^!$$%s define %#@!

True soldier ready for war, so don't try %#@!
Why you get critical, 'cause the spots held down by the general


[Chorus 2X]
There's only a few that could ride wit me
There's only a few that could ride for free

I hold my weight plus yours, when you can't hold ya own
'cause I know you do the same for me, so hold me down


[Tek]
Every clique got a soft ^!$$% in it, believe me
That potray a kid he saw on the streets or in the movies

Tryin to do the same he seen on the screen
Got his big guns, Timbs, hoody and his jeans
Talk the fast talk but there's a pause in this walk

Rock his jewels, truck and he still eat pork
He get his little hustle on, he run with his major team
Crazy $$# dread from Jamaica, Queens

Ain't never seen war up in his face before
Get his news from the barber shop/beeper store
But if you let him tell it, he's the last man standing

Talkin bout son, I held it down wit the cannon
Should of seen the way that I was blazin at the cats
Twist of the wrist, while I was pattin one back

Like that kid did to Menace, when he had the four pound
You know it's only right, I had to hold the fort down


[Storm]
Blazin wit ya friends, when we ridin
There's no suprisin, it's all good

Takin chances, in the cut every day
Tryin to big up, tryin to big up wit my master plan


[Chorus 2X]

[Steele]

As a youth I would sit up in my room and dream
One day I became wit a ruthless teen
Little did I know that every step I took

Had already been signed and sealed in some books
So I took a look at what I got to work wit of course
And if granted by the source move on wit full force

What choice to choose, if I sin will I use
Sittin wit the reverend in my county blues


[Tek]
To which ever form you base your religion on
Live by the scriptures of the Bible or Karan

Don't burn bridges if you plan to make riches
The ones that you least expect to be the worst snitches
For a dollar, a ^!$$% screamin holla out

Ya secret whereabouts, so they can come and air ya out
And took the throne, down the shoot dead and gone
The struggle goes on, so hold down ya dome


[Chorus 2X]
