Big Boi
Yea
Hook line and sinker
Knew she was mine
The day I seen that guy
The big mouth bass
It's time for me to retrieve her
And go git her like a wild receiver
But we don't play no ball
See when we come through
We baby girl gon' BB don't play at all
On the real we need to nip this in the bud
Cause we kept it real with everyone
So tell me why they hatin' (everybody's hatin')
It feels like they just waitin' (for us to grow apart)
It's just hard for me to do
But baby if I'm your man
I guess I gotta be your man
These men just gotta understand
Little girl, with curves and hips, luscious lips
Girl I can't front now
I'm nervous
I'm like hold up
Wait, wait a minute
I'm genuine with it
I ain't tryna' put no pimpin' in it
I'm like hold up
Can I talk to her
Hold up
Can I take her out
Hold up , uh
That's why I gotta tell you
Now a days is so crazy
Out here
You'd wanna be cuttin' me
If your daughter struts with me
Lucky me, and you'd be lucky too
No entourage, no crew
Just me ridin' with my boo
I got her
But don't think I'm replacin' you
Girl know you know what I do
And I know you made your mind up
It'll take days and days, and decades to find another
Dude that's gonna walk in my shoes
And girl keep it one with you
As long if you do the usual
I'm like hold up
Wait, wait a minute
I'm genuine with it
I ain't tryna' put no pimpin' in it
I'm like hold up
Can I talk to her
Hold up
Can I take her out
Hold up , uh
That's why I gotta tell you
Now baby please
Hang up the phone
Cause I'm talkin' to your father
Mrs Jones, Mr Jones
I've been talkin' to your daughter
And she like me
She told me she like me
And I really like her
She gon' be my wifey
I say baby please
Hang up the phone
Cause I'm talkin' to your father
Mrs Jones, Mr Jones
I've been talkin' to your daughter
And she like me
He told me she like me
And I really like her
She gon' be my wifey
I'm like hold up
Wait, wait a minute
I'm genuine with it
I ain't tryna' put no pimpin' in it
I'm like hold up
Can I talk to her
Hold up
Can I take her out
Hold up , uh
That's why I gotta tell you
Now is the time for me to come clean
Now is the time for us to turn that yellow light to green light
And proceed us together, be more better like lemon pepper on your wings
And you'll never find another fella that's betta than your king
I ming go sing gon' talk about goods
Who playin'
But we cant have no picket fence cause we got acres &and acres of land
The haters are takin' it mad
That we can handle these fakers for class
Mannerisms on that C.O. five and a half on they ass
Girl buy, give it a try, give yo boy a chance
Ever since you landed in myspace it seems like I'm yours again
My top friend, rock them
We don't need no all day hits
Pop them
Put ol' Google on a boss back
I'm like hold up
Wait, wait a minute
I'm genuine with it
I ain't tryna' put no pimpin' in it
I'm like hold up
Can I talk to her
Hold up
Can I take her out
Hold up , uh
That's why I gotta tell you
I'm like hold up
Wait, wait a minute
I'm genuine with it
I ain't tryna' put no pimpin' in it
I'm like hold up
Can I talk to her
Hold up
Can I take her out
Hold up , uh
That's why I gotta tell you
Baby please
And she like me
And I really like her
Baby please
She gon' be my wifey
Baby please
The song "Hold Up" by Chris Brown featuring Big Boi is a love song where the singer talks about his feelings for a girl and his desire to be with her. The song has a slow, smooth beat and the lyrics are full of metaphors about fishing and American football. The first verse describes how the singer knew the girl was his as soon as he saw her, like a big-mouth bass on a fishing line. He compares himself to a wild receiver in football and says he is going to "retrieve her." In the chorus, the singer says he is genuine and not trying to play any games or "put no pimpin' in it." He just wants to talk to the girl and take her out, but he is nervous.
The second verse is about the challenges the couple faces from other people who may not approve of their relationship. The singer says they need to "nip this in the bud" and keep it real with everyone. He wonders why people are hating on them and suggests that they are just waiting for them to grow apart. However, he is committed to being the girl's man and making other men understand that she's taken. The bridge of the song finds the singer talking to the girl's parents, asking for their approval to date her. The song ends with the singer repeating that he is genuine and sincere and that he really likes the girl.

Hook line and sinker
I fell for her completely
Knew she was mine
I knew she was the one for me
The day I seen that guy
When I saw the competition
The big mouth bass
The other guy who is trying to win her over
On the line
He has a chance with her
It's time for me to retrieve her
It's time for me to go get her
And go git her like a wild receiver
To go after her like a football receiver runs a route
But we don't play no ball
We aren't playing any games
See when we come through
When we are together
We baby girl gon' BB don't play at all
Don't mess with us
On the real we need to nip this in the bud
We need to resolve this issue quickly
Cause we kept it real with everyone
Because we were honest with everyone
So tell me why they hatin' (everybody's hatin')
Why are so many people hating on us?
It feels like they just waitin' (for us to grow apart)
It seems like they are just waiting for us to break up
It's just hard for me to do
Breaking up is difficult for me
But baby if I'm your man
If I'm your man
I guess I gotta be your man
I have to be the man for you
These men just gotta understand
The other guys need to understand
Little girl, with curves and hips, luscious lips
Describing the girl he likes
Girl I can't front now
I can't lie now
I'm nervous
I'm feeling anxious
Now a days is so crazy
These days are so crazy
Out here
Everywhere
You'd wanna be cuttin' me
You'd want to fight me
If your daughter struts with me
If I'm with your daughter
Lucky me, and you'd be lucky too
It's good for both of us
No entourage, no crew
I'm alone
Just me ridin' with my boo
Just me and my girl together
But don't think I'm replacin' you
I'm not trying to replace you
Girl know you know what I do
You know the type of person I am
And I know you made your mind up
And I know you have made your decision
It'll take days and days, and decades to find another
It will take a long time to find someone else
Dude that's gonna walk in my shoes
Someone who can live up to my standards
And girl keep it one with you
Girl, be honest with yourself
As long if you do the usual
As long as you don't change
Now baby please
Now, please
Hang up the phone
Hang up the phone
Cause I'm talkin' to your father
Because I'm talking to your dad
Mrs Jones, Mr Jones
The girl's parents

She told me she likes me
And I really like her
And I really like her
She gon' be my wifey
She's going to be my wife

To move forward together and improve our relationship
And you'll never find another fella that's betta than your king
You won't find anyone better than me
I ming go sing gon' talk about goods
I'm going to talk about good things
Who playin'
Who's playing around
But we cant have no picket fence cause we got acres &and acres of land
We can't settle down because we have so much life ahead of us
The haters are takin' it mad
The haters are angry
That we can handle these fakers for class
That we can handle these fake people with dignity
Mannerisms on that C.O. five and a half on they ass
We'll handle these people with class and dignity
Girl buy, give it a try, give yo boy a chance
Girl, give me a chance
Ever since you landed in myspace it seems like I'm yours again
Ever since you came into my life, it feels like I belong to you again
My top friend, rock them
My closest friend, support me
We don't need no all day hits
We don't need to be famous all day long
Pop them
To become famous quickly
Put ol' Google on a boss back
To become famous on Google
