Hold up

Hold up
Self-employed so I'm paying me
Stayin' true 'cause it stay to be
Won't loud part candy captain then get a ticket then pay the V
Rap 84 of the 83, ain't rhyme them and they end with me,
How you pay to get in the club, and then hate on the pressure y'all pay to see

Now we got mob block live again
Look at these whips we're riding in
Making ball and look easy baby, we don't practice like...
Sliding in I'm never super post when
I'm getting closer I'm just... the face
All the sinners star calling God,
All the rappers start calling Mace,
Drop sounding like an earthquake,
Trunk bound to make an earth shake
Every day is a movie for me, you like the destination on the first day
Telling me it's a birthday, new shoes and her persuade,
You should go appreciate the quire, I ain't the one you persuade,
She ain't worried of the hotel, I wouldn't even get to motel,
Mess around and take your girl from you then sell it to for the...
Oh... have her back, wont' love but I love the stacks
So I'm pulling up and then you know what
They looking at me like what is that

[Chorus]
Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up
Hold up, hold up, hold up,
That's what they've been calling me,
Soon they see me roll up, roll up
Don't know what to call that
So they call, they call, they call it
Hold up, hold up, hold up,
That's what they call it.
Hold up, hold up, hold up,
That's what they call it.
Soon they see roll up, uh, roll up,
Don't know what to call that
So they call, they call, they call it
Hold up

Told Brad to send me a track,
He send me a track to sound like a trap,
I don't know normally do this,
But hey when I do it sound like the trap,
Competition left me in flat, I'm just hoping that you trap,
I'm just hoping you try to try me,
Get drag around by your suit tie,
You can catch me in the forn city,
They don't even know I rap,
First album when platinum so they ain't many places on my map,
Going golf in Iraq, going shopping in Dubai
She'll be asking the man forgives and gives me the gift form Dubai
Bottle water with a mouse trap, no rat can get to my cheese
Her... get no scraps get no bad like her ratches
Wanna book me for five G's,
Read the sign and say stop please,
Can't knock me, my trunk knocking,
My making woman looking knock me,
Call me but I'm unreachable, too trill to be speaker too
God loss in my own garage and they couldn't find me for a week or two,
My trunk are open like pickable,
Me I'm... to be sipping through,
Came to blue, all my speakers blue, but I turn em up and my speakers do.

[Chorus]

Hold up man, just hold up man,
Rap to state then pour down,
Chew up cheese then throw up grants,
Then guess some bread you know I'm jam,
It's lunch time, she got one friend, but just one fine,
One four, one dime, you already know which one is mine,
Tripping like Jessy Jay, see love and got me in the... day
If it comes between hoes and dough I drop off chick and then scoop you pay,
Might as well, I might as well, passing up dough is a major feel,
Take the trip to South Africa, but can't lead the the paper like... pill,
Realest rapper you have ever meet, she want n autograph on her fake breast,
Too young is just too dumb, girl slow it down and take a break twist,
Check it out when my lack is out,
Don't worry bout it, I ain't stressed,
Hot chocolate on my hallo tips they might mess around and get a taste test.

[Chorus]

Bottle water with a mouse trap, no rat can get to my cheese
I'm keeping my success secure, nobody can take it from me

Her... get no scraps get no bad like her ratches
Girls like her don't get any leftovers, they only get the best

Wanna book me for five G's
They want to pay me $5000 for a performance

Read the sign and say stop please
They read the warning signs and decide not to mess with me

Can't knock me, my trunk knocking
You can't criticize me, my car's speakers are booming

My making woman looking knock me
My success attracts beautiful women

Call me but I'm unreachable, too trill to be speaker too
Call me all you want, but I'm too real to be reached

My trunk are open like pickable
My car trunk is open like a vending machine

Me I'm... to be sipping through
I'm sipping on a drink

Everything about my car is blue, including the singers that I blast music through

Then I make even more money, you know I'm successful

It's lunch time, she got one friend, but just one fine
It's time for some fun, she only has one attractive friend

One four, one dime, you already know which one is mine
One is a 14/10 (extremely attractive), you know which one I chose

Tripping like Jessy Jay, see love and got me in the... day
Having a great time with a girl named Jessy Jay, experiencing love and euphoria

If it comes between hoes and dough I drop off chick and then scoop you pay
If I have to choose between women and money, I'll ditch the girl and make money

Might as well, I might as well, passing up dough is a major feel
I might as well choose money, passing it up would be a big mistake

Take the trip to South Africa, but can't lead the the paper like... pill
I can afford to take a trip to South Africa, but I can't control wealth like a drug

Realest rapper you have ever meet, she want n autograph on her fake breast
I'm the most genuine rapper she has ever met, she wants my autograph on her fake breasts

Too young is just too dumb, girl slow it down and take a break twist
Being too young means she's naive, she should slow down and relax

Check it out when my lack is out
Come see me when I'm on top

Don't worry bout it, I ain't stressed
Don't worry about me, I'm not worried

Hot chocolate on my hallo tips they might mess around and get a taste test
My expensive lifestyle might tempt others to try and taste it
