J. COLE lyrics : "Hold It Down"

(Talking)
[Verse 1]
If my heart stop pumping tomorrow don't feel no sorrow

'Cause life is hard mentally
And everything is meant to be
Sometimes I ask myself if I was gone who would remember

me?
It's hard to tell
Oh well, sit back and sip this Hennessey

Now lately it's been hard to tell my friends part from
my enemies
'Cause plenty ^!$$%s show me love but in their hearts

they envy me
Why?
I'm just a ^!$$% from around the way

Told my mama I'd make it happen and I found a way
Pour out some liquor for my ^!$$%s at the crossroads
And may the Lord give guidance to the lost souls

I know that deep inside these ^!$$%s know there's more
to life
Than macking hoes and stacking dough

Man I'm sorta like a ^!$$% who done seen greener grass
So when they think they balling like the dream team
My ^!$$% I done seen meaner cash

And I'm trying to get
Follow me ^!$$% I'm on the prowl
Headed to the top

You watching me ^!$$%?
Then hold it down


[Chorus]
Hold it down
If you need to holla at me don't hesitate to call

It ain't a problem
I can be there
I ride for

Lie for you
I know you'd do the same
I would die for you

So hold me down
When the times is hard I'll be around
So hold it down

And it don't matter how far
I'll be around
(I hold it down)


[Verse 2]
You was my ^!$$% from the younger days

We grew up
I went to school, you went the other way
But still my brother man

I'm sitting reminiscing on
All of them (*##$es we was tripping over, kissing on
Or at the skating rink

We trying to bag some new hoes
And if I needed gear you'd let me hold your new clothes
And vice-a-versa man

But now that life is worser man
A ^!$$% slow caking
I'm broke trying to chase a dream

You just got probation
And I'm stressed
Your little sister pregnant

What's next?
Oh %#@!, my mama doing drugs
At times it's hard to feel blessed

In this madness
I holla at my ^!$$% in the sadness
Remember when your mama tried to beat you with that

bat?
%#@!, remember your chick Nina?
Man that $$# was the fattest

Remember my crush on Sabrina?
Yo she's still the baddest
I'm just glad that I can holla at you

It's been a while
Until the next time I hear from you
Aye, hold it down

[Chorus]

Hold it down
If you need to holla at me don't hesitate to call
It ain't a problem
I can be there
I ride for

Lie for you
I know you'd do the same
I would die for you
So hold it down
When the times is hard I'll be around

So hold me down
And it don't matter how far
I'll be around
(I hold it down)


[Verse 3]
These is tough times baby
But we'll make it through
You know I'm headed for the top
I swear I'm taking you
Just hold a ^!$$% down through this bad weather

The rain falling
Ain't balling but I have better
A woman with an $$# and a strong mind
It's been a long time
Sometimes you on your bull%#@!
Sometime I'm on mine
Will I have a hard time to stay committed?

Or do I only want your voice moaning when I hit it?
Man only God knows
I know deep in your heart you don't want me to be no
star though
There's groupies after every show
You scared I'm $#&@ing every hoe
And girl I ain't 'gon lie and say I won't

'Cause %#@! you never know
But may the Lord give me strength
I love you more than anything
The future mother of my kids
The love is real
And if we ever part, God forbid
I love you still

So when I'm on the road don't trip
You know I'm down for you
Keep it tight and don't slip
And hold it down for me

[Chorus]
Hold it down

If you need to holla at me don't hesitate to call
It ain't a problem
I can be there
I ride for
Lie for you
I know you'd do the same
I would die for you

And hold me down
When the times is hard I'll be around
So hold me down
And it don't matter how far
I'll be around
(I hold it down)x3
