Hold Me Down
Eli & Fur Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take care of my bitch yo
Take care of my kids yo
Hold down my chips yo
Hold down that work yo
You got my life in yo hands
Nigga hold me down
From this point on
You the one I trust now

Take care of my bitch yo
Take care of my kids yo
Hold down my chips yo
Hold down that work yo
You got my life in yo hands
Nigga hold me down
From this point on
You the one I trust now
I gotta do a bid cause I got caught with
4 zips and a 9 grip with a loaded clip
Slimy crackers cause they charged me for the roach clip
They threw it out cuz it wasn’t that serious
I was on the interstate, on the way to Pompano
To meet up with a nigga that’s also half Zoe
Then I get pulled
Jump out with guns out
Dogs out So you know I got snitched out
How the fuck that these crackers even knew
The only one that knew was a nigga that I last spoke to
And you I really can’t think of who
Fuck it I took like my time is due
Who knows, it could of been my time
But that thought stays in my mind
Collecting thoughts like mental hoarder
Don’t let me down,,, cause you’re the only person in my corner
Take care of my bitch yo
Take care of my kids yo
Hold down my chips yo
Hold down that work yo
You got my life in yo hands
Nigga hold me down
From this point on
You the one I trust now
Take care of my bitch yo
Take care of my kids yo
Hold down my chips yo
Hold down that work yo
You got my life in yo hands
Nigga hold me down
From this point on
You the one I trust now
I’m at the pan handle, up the road doing time
Smoking squares thinking how I got this 3 to 5
I’m reading books just to ease the thoughts in my mind
Thinking to myself who the fuck is lying
Man i’m locked up in Florida by the the Alabama state line
My bitch is with another dude I heard it through the grape vine
Shit what done happened to my dog
No money on my books so I can him give a call
He probably busy man I think I’m just tripping
Any day now he’s gonna give me visit
6 months,, aint hard nothing yet
I left this nigga my money and my connect
But I know him since the sand box
Made a lot of money, made a lot bands pop
Ion know man he probably got popped
I just hope he remember what we talked about
Take care of my bitch yo
Take care of my kids yo
Hold down my chips yo
Hold down that work yo
You got my life in yo hands
Nigga hold me down
From this point on
You the one I trust now
Take care of my bitch yo
Take care of my kids yo
Hold down my chips yo
Hold down that work yo
You got my life in yo hands
Nigga hold me down
From this point on
You the one I trust now
I'm at the chow hall
Eating nasty ass food
Then I heard a voice say “Yo Wassup Fool”
I turned around while I’m pulling out the knife
And I seen who it was and my nigga I’m surprised
It was Zoe the Zoe from pompano
I was like my nigga, wtf done happened bro
He thought it was me and I thought it was him
Then he asked me if I told another friend
You remember Sunny?
Who big dummy?
Well that dummy on the block making money
I seen that nigga 2 days before they got me
For real?
With a bitch in 4 door Caddy
How she look? 5’3 with a hella mean body
And she has a tattoo that says big daddy’s
How you know?
Cause they stopped at the corner liquor store

And?
And thats where a nigga had to go so
