Hold Me Down
Born-Forty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold me. Hold me, I'm tripping on it
Hold me. Hold me, I'm tripping on it
Hold me. Hold me, I'm tripping on it
Hold me. Hold me, I'm tripping on it
Hold me. Hold me, I'm tripping on it
Hold me. Hold me, I'm tripping on it
It feels, it feels like the first time
Why you gotta fight
You know I'm the man
E.M.T gonna stick it to the man
Mystery Machine
Trappin' out a van
Layin' in the sun
Give your ass a tan
Smokin' good ganja
Bumpin' to the beat
Walking downtown Fila sandals on my feet
Scrawny motherfucker but I'm dressing pretty clean
Ain't worried about me cause I got me a queen, yeah
Summertime like the 305
905 wanna see me thrive
Bees on my belt trynna make it to the hive
Lights, camera, action, we live
1, 2, 3 been comin' up trippin'
Outta my body been double bag zippin'
Cryin' in the rain should've listened to the vision
Stop another rookie trynna grind on the mission
Ay, you know me
Run a beat back like adobe
Your ex man he a little dopey
My girl so fine imma give her ass a trophy
Ou, the fake shit
Come and take a ride in my spaceship
You always been a lame, just face it
Copped myself a whip, finna give that bitch a facelift
It feels, it feels like the first time
It feels, it feels like the first time
I been smokin' green
But there's so much shit that I ain't seen
Gotta love you it seems
Been down so long who knows what it means
I need a girl, one who's gonna love me at the end of the world
Tryna find me that unique pearl
All on god, fuck the underworld, fingers curled
RIP Mac Mill, you the Most Dope
Kinda lost sight of eternal hope
Society feelin' like The Truman Show
Fuck that shit guess I'm on my own
Fine by me if it's fine by you
Ain't good at math but I love you times two
Shawty got shake, now I'm acting a fool
Hold me, I'm trippin, man that sounds cool




It feels, it feels like the first time
It feels, it feels like the first time
