Hold Your Head
Biggie Smalls ft. Bob Marley Lyrics

Woman hold her head and cry
A woman is mourning the loss of her son who was killed in the street

Cause her son had been shot down in the street and died
The woman's son was shot and killed while on the street

Woman hold her head and cry
The woman is still grieving and mourning the loss of her son

'Cause her son had been shot down in the street and died
The cause of the woman's grief is the death of her son, who was killed on the street

When I die, fuck it I wanna go to (hell)
The artist is expressing his preference to end up in hell when he dies

'Cause I'm a piece of shit, it ain't hard to fuckin' tell
The singer believes he is a worthless and unimportant person

It don't make sense, goin' to heaven wit' the goodie-goodies
The singer believes it is illogical for him to end up in heaven with the good people

Dressed in white, I like black Tims and black hoodies
The artist prefers to dress in darker clothing instead of the typical white garments associated with heaven

God will probably have me on some real strict shit
The artist thinks that if he were to go to heaven, God would enforce strict rules on him

No sleepin' all day, no gettin my dick licked
The artist thinks that in heaven, he would not be allowed to sleep in or engage in any pleasures

Hangin' with the goodie-goodies loungin' in paradise
The singer doesn't want to be in heaven, where the 'goodie-goodies' are relaxing in paradise

Fuck that shit, I wanna tote guns and shoot dice
The artist would rather engage in violent and risky behavior than be in heaven

All my life I been considered as the worst
The singer has always been seen as a bad person by others

Lyin' to my mother, even stealin' out her purse
The singer has even lied to and stolen from his own mother

Crime after crime, from drugs to extortion
The singer has committed multiple crimes, such as selling drugs and extortion

I know my mother wished she got a fuckin' abortion
The artist believes that his mother regrets not having an abortion instead of giving birth to him

I swear to God I just want to (slit) my wrists and end this bullshit
The artist is expressing a desire to harm himself to end his problems

Throw the Magnum to my head, threaten to pull shit
The singer is considering suicide by putting a gun to his head

And squeeze, until the bed's, completely red
The singer wants to shoot himself until everything is covered in blood

I'm glad I'm (dead), a worthless fuckin' buddah head
The artist thinks that he is better off dead because he believes he has no worth

The stress is buildin' up, I can't,
The artist is feeling stressed and overwhelmed, and cannot take it anymore

I can't believe (suicide's) on my fuckin' mind
The artist is surprised that he is contemplating suicide

I want to leave, I swear to God I feel like death is fuckin' callin' me
The singer wants to escape his problems and thinks that death is calling him

Naw you wouldn't understand
The artist does not believe that anyone else can understand his struggles

You see its kinda like the crack did to Pookie, in New Jack
The singer is comparing his struggles to those of the character Pookie from the movie 'New Jack City' who became addicted to crack cocaine

Except when I cross over, there ain't no comin' back
The singer believes that if he kills himself, he cannot come back to life

Should I die on the train track, like Remo in Beatstreet
The singer is thinking about dying a violent death like the character Remo in the movie 'Beatstreet'

People at the funeral frontin' like they miss me
The artist believes that people will pretend to miss him at his funeral

My baby momma kissed me but she glad I'm gone
The artist's baby mama is happy that he is dead

She knew me and her sister had somethin' goin' on
The singer was involved with his baby mama's sister, which caused issues in their relationship

I wonder if I died, would tears come to her eyes?
The singer is questioning if his baby mama would miss him if he died

Forgive me for my disrespect, forgive me for my lies
The artist is asking for forgiveness for his past actions and behaviors
