Hold it Down
Israel Cruz Lyrics

Yes hold it down for my homies
I am dedicating this song to my friends and peers.

This is real girl you know me
I am being genuine and true to myself and my music.

So you can never change my ways
I am steadfast in my approach to music and will not be swayed easily.

And you can never stop me now
I am too determined and focused to let anyone hinder my success.

So baby I'm a hold it down, hold it down, hold it down
I will persevere and remain grounded no matter what challenges come my way.

And if I'm gonna make a change
If I want to make progress and reach my goals,

Then I'm a have to make now
I have to take action and make changes happen immediately.

Uh yeah I make champion music
My music is top-notch and of the highest quality.

So turn this record off if you plan on losing
If you don't appreciate great music and quality, you won't like my work.

They tell me quit but I can't I refuse
People have discouraged me from pursuing music, but I won't give up.

Ima beast when it comes to this beat
I am incredibly skilled when it comes to creating music.

So I choose to prove anybody that's trying to come and test me
I will prove anyone who challenges me wrong.

You can ask your girlfriend she tell you who the best be
I am confident that I am the best and I am sure others feel the same way.

Yeah if being dope is a crime
If being great at what you do is a problem,

All you whack motherfuckers all of ya'll come and arrest me
I am not afraid to stand out and be the best, regardless of what others think.

Yeah cause I represent sydney
I am proud to represent my hometown of Sydney.

Even though my childhood resides out of werribee
Despite where I grew up, I am still true to my Sydney roots.

But fuck it
But I don't care about any criticism or negative opinions.

I hold it down for australians
I am dedicated to supporting and representing all Australians.

Even if the world think that we a bunch of aliens
Even if people perceive us as different or strange, I still represent Australia proudly.

I put it down for the nation
I am always working hard to represent and make my country proud.

Now put your hands up all my asians
I am also proud to represent Asians and their music culture, and I want to inspire them.

I'm a represent ya'll to the days when I'm dying
I will continue to be a positive influence and represent my culture until my last days.

Uh I hope a few things have changes then
Hopefully some things will improve in the music industry by then.

Yeah I know I aint a fucking heart throb
I am not here to be just a pretty face or a romantic heartthrob.

But I make a record that'll make your heart stop
My music is powerful and moving, making an impact that cannot be ignored.

Yeah you trying to stop me like a car block
People may try to deter me or hold me back, but it won't work.

But ima keep it hard for all my known soft cocks
I will continue to be a strong and powerful force in the music industry.

And since I threw away the pencil
Since I stopped using a writing tool like a pencil, and write from my mind and soul,

I'm writing from my dome that's elevated my mental
My creativity has become even more powerful and my skills have increased.

Yeah limited edtion orginal
I am one-of-a-kind and unique in my music and personality.

Then I can see my fear trying to trace me like a stencil
My fear and insecurity tries to hold me back but I won't let it.

Yeah and all you labels out here
Record labels may try to tell me what to do,

That scared of R'n'B yo you never need to fear
But my music is so strong and unique, they don't have to be afraid of my genre.

We here
I have arrived and I am here to make music.

And you can leave it to the pros
I am a professional musician and you can trust me to make great music.

You should never interfere with something you never known about
People who don't understand music shouldn't interfere with my creative process.

So let me show you how it's done homie
I will show you how to make great music and be successful.

And if you wont lead then I'm a be the one homie
If nobody is going to show me the way, I will lead myself to success.

Yeah to you it's just a bit of fun
Some people may not take music seriously or see it as just a hobby.

But for me yeah it's for real have to make it for my son
But for me, music is my life and my career, and I am doing it for my son.

So please step aside amd let me get to work
If you don't believe in me or music, please don't hinder my progress and hard work.

You know I ain't afraid to put my fingers in the dirt
I am not afraid to work hard and get my hands dirty to achieve my goals.

This industry has left a lot of bodies in a hearse
The music industry can be dangerous and lead to negative consequences for some people.

But I resurrect them all with this verse
My music has the power to heal and uplift others and their struggles.

Yeah they say that israel is a problem
There may be people who see me as a challenge or a problem in the music industry.

You can find a cure for aids but you can never solve him
But no one can get rid of me or my love for music.

Yeah I hold my money like I'm starving
I am careful with my money and don't take my success for granted.

Pocket full of green you can call me green goblin
I am financially secure and have money to spare, like the character Green Goblin from Spider-Man.

Oh yeah I remember mr mckinnon
I have gone through struggles and hurdles in my music career from people like Mr. McKinnon.

You told me once that as long as I was living
He may have discouraged me in the past.

That I could never do anything with my music
He may have told me that I can't achieve success with music.

But fuck you look at the talent that I'll be given
But I have shown everyone that I am incredibly talented and have what it takes to be successful in music.

I'm a motherfucking monster khaled is a beast
I am incredibly skilled and successful, like DJ Khaled.

Together we like warlords from the middle east
Together, we are a powerful and unstoppable force like the legends from the Middle East.

And these streets they been calling out for our beats
Our music is in demand and loved by the streets and our fans.

And it's been so cold I think it's time to bring the heat now
It's time to heat things up and bring even more fire and passion to our music.

Yeah and J-Remy told me to smile more
Someone may have told me to be happier and more positive.

But when I do I don't know what the fuck to smile for
But I am so focused on my music and career that I don't have much to smile about right now.

I got the whole weight of australia on my shoulders
I feel a great sense of responsibility to represent and make my country proud.

And every single country in asia I do this for us
I am dedicated to representing and uplifting all Asians and their love for music.

Yeah I hold it down like a strong force
I am a powerful and influential force in the music industry.

And all the hard work you now I put it in pause
But I am willing to take a break to celebrate my hard work and success.

I'm married to this motherfucker R'n'B is my wife and Hip Hop is my in-laws
I am completely dedicated to music and the genres I work in, like being married and part of a family.

Hold it down
I will remain steadfast and persevere through any challenges.

I'm a hold it down
I will work hard and stay true to myself and my music.

I'm a hold it down
I will remain grounded and committed to my craft.
