Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They don’t show love

Im feeling myself
I do not know how to act
My uncle just pulled up on me in a lac
We look alike
I’m nothing like him
Why

I do not fall for these bitches
These bitches
They always gon fall in my lap
Say what you want
Do what you want
You don’t choose how I react
My nigga relax
She follow me
I do not follow back
She hit me up where i’m @
Trap on the gram
If we talking bouts grams
Then I’m in the kitchen
I’m whipping like grams
Finessing like kobe with the bad leg
Dancing on the work like it’s ballet
Fucking up a bag
On a bad day
Where I growed up
They don’t show love

Shorty bad

In the song "Hold Up" by C-STEEZEE, the artist paints a picture of his upbringing and the harsh reality of where he came from. The lyrics "Where I growed up, They don’t show love, It’s cold bruh" convey a sense of emotional detachment and a lack of support or warmth in his environment. Despite this, he expresses a sense of urgency and a need for something more in his life, illustrating his desire for immediate change and fulfillment.
The mention of a "Shorty bad, Hella bad, Yea she cold bruh" represents a longing for companionship and connection, as well as an attraction to someone who exudes confidence and allure. The repeated refrain "I need her now, Right now, What’s the hold up" emphasizes the impatience and longing for the fulfillment of this desire, highlighting the artist's yearning for love and intimacy.
As the song progresses, the artist reflects on his own identity and relationships with others, particularly his uncle. The lyrics "Im feeling myself, I do not know how to act, My uncle just pulled up on me in a lac, We look alike, I’m nothing like him" suggest a sense of self-discovery and questioning of one's own identity in relation to family influences. There is a clear distinction drawn between himself and his uncle, indicating a desire to forge his own path and break free from certain expectations or norms.
The later verses delve into themes of success, resilience, and overcoming adversity. References to hustling, finesse, and navigating through challenges like a skilled player on the court or stage reflect a sense of determination and ambition in the face of obstacles. The artist's defiance against conformity and his refusal to be pigeonholed or underestimated is evident in lines like "We are not the same, You got, What I cant entertain," showcasing his confidence and individuality in a world that may not always understand or appreciate his journey. Ultimately, "Hold Up" encapsulates a raw and introspective narrative of struggle, ambition, and the relentless pursuit of one's desires and dreams in the face of a harsh and unforgiving environment.
