Hold on
French Montana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ain't never gonna come through when you niggas call,
I'mma come through when I want! Hol' up!

Tell 'em niggas hol' up, hol' up
Tell 'em niggas hol' up
I ain't rushin' with the work
I'm comin' with the work any time that I wanna
Wait a minute
Wait a minute (Hol' up)
Tell 'em niggas hol' up
Wait a minute
Wait a minute (Hol' up)
Comin' when I wanna

Knick game, floor seat right next to Spike
I throw two lines on a 20 ounce Sprite

For my nerves, I'm pourin' up
Knees in the water
Some freaks in the foreign
In the V like the quarter (Hol' up)
Mixin' that Ciroc, bad bitches all night (Hol' up)
I don't care what they doin', man, I'm doin' what I like
Hol' up, hol' up (Hol' up)
From the bottom, feelin' mad
Hol' up, hol' up
Where them niggas at when we started from bottom?
Wait a minute, wait a minute (Hol' up)
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, crib got the elevators in it
Wait a minute, now I'm buyin' hotels

Tell 'em niggas hol' up, hol' up
Tell 'em niggas hol' up (Hol' up)
I ain't rushin' with the work
I'm comin' with the work any time that I wanna
Wait a minute
Wait a minute (Hol' up)
Tell 'em niggas hol' up
Wait a minute
Wait a minute (Hol' up)
Comin' when I wanna

Knick game, floor seat right next to Spike
I throw two lines on a 20 ounce Sprite

(Quavo)
When I pull out the chopper, every nigga on sight (Hol' up, rahh)
In the trap catchin' plays, OG, Jerry Rice (OG)
When you a millionaire, you do not care 'bout the price (M&Ms)
You play with my money, know niggas will come take your life

Baby, that pussy too crazy, put me to sleep like a baby
I like to smoke with Jamaicans
Sak pase to all my Haitians
Pussy be tight with the Asians
I like Malaysians, I like to fuck
I like to get it, eat that pussy up
I know that she get excited when I get inside it
Ride my pony, giddy up

Lil' bitch don't know me, need to hold up
If you got the cookies, you need to roll up
Double cup, I'm sippin' on purple, not Minnesota
Diamonds on my neck, I'm sick, I done caught ebola
My niggas from the bando trappin' off a Motorola
Dabbin' on these bitches, when they see me call me Casanova
Don't mention that when I'm pourin' a soda
Keep the pocket rocket for the cobras tryna take it over (Takeoff)

Tell 'em niggas hol' up, hol' up
Tell 'em niggas hol' up (Hol' up)
I ain't rushin' with the work
I'm comin' with the work any time that I wanna
Wait a minute
Wait a minute (Hol' up)
Tell 'em niggas hol' up
Wait a minute
Wait a minute (Hol' up)
Comin' when I wanna

Knick game, floor seat right next to Spike
I throw two lines on a 20 ounce Sprite

Tell 'em niggas hol' up, hol' up
Tell 'em niggas hol' up
I ain't rushin' with the work
I'm comin' with the work any time that I wanna
Wait a minute
Wait a minute (Hol' up)
Tell 'em niggas hol' up
Wait a minute
Wait a minute (Hol' up)
Comin' when I wanna





Knick game, floor seat right next to Spike
I throw two lines on a 20 ounce Sprite

Hardest Bars Exactly what I thought.. That French Revolution, Mac wit the Cheese French..Even the first Coke Boyz Mixtape.


I peeped this in the lyrics:
Custom made shit, dealer plates

Look at killers is the face
Beef with Fifty,I was cool with Banks
Swipe the chips, empty out the banks
Talking cars? I pull out a tank
Bad Boy, Death Row, pocket Franklins
They killed Stack, I came out with Chinx
Fidel Castro, 100 links
Made me a animal, I bought a hundred minks

French a special type of nicca., Been following him since 2009. When him n Max B had The Coke Wave movement n mixtapes, I was apart of all that. . Happy to say I was, French could leave this Earth today and I’d still label him a legend. Him no his brother are stand up dudes who beat n finessed the odds.
