Z 'Two' Turntt
I just got some shit I wanna get off my chest
Uh
I said hold up
Let me talk my shit
Walk in this bitch
And I'm way too lit
Bad little bitch
She gon' suck my dick
No fast food
But I'm in and out quick
No pornstar but I take that flick
Too much work then I'll take that trip
Imma need that cash
Imma get that bread
Im gon' pull up clean in a brand new whip
Hold up
Let me talk my shit
Walk in this bitch
And I'm way too lit
Bad little bitch
She gon' suck my dick
No fast food
But I'm in and out quick
No pornstar but I take that flick
Too much work then I'll take that trip
Imma need that cash
Imma get that bread
Im gon' pull up clean in a brand new whip
And I'm gone
Bitch I be gone
Gang got a pound of that strong and I'm on
Yes I be on
Ys I be on
I just be smoking my weed til it's dawn
And I'm doing my thing
Doing my thing
Hol' up my flow be wet like a sink
Bitches been mad
They can't get a ring
Bitches been mad Bout'
Like anything
But I'm doing my thing doh
Doing my thing doh
Shawty gon' bounce that ass
Like a spring doh
Shawty go crazy when I drop my single
Don't give a fuck if that shawty a single
Come to the crib and I beat up the walls
Shawty go crazy she lickin' my balls
Hop on the phone and I'm making a call
Gang got my back so I never will fall
So it's straight the cash
And I swear I gon' crash out
Standing ten toes
I never gon' back down
Sipping that henny
I'm drunk I'm gon' black out
Got me a bitch
And I'm blowing her back out
Yeah got me a bitch
And I'm blowing her back out
My pack strong
Like I go for the max out
My shit tight like I took all the slack out
Hold up
Let me talk my shit
Walk in this bitch
And I'm way too lit
Bad little bitch
She gon' suck my dick
No fast food
But I'm in and out quick
No pornstar but I take that flick
Too much work then I'll take that trip
Imma need that cash
Imma get that bread
Im gon' pull up clean in a brand new whip
Hold up
Let me talk my shit
Walk in this bitch
And I'm way too lit
Bad little bitch
She gon' suck my dick
No fast food
But I'm in and out quick
No pornstar but I take that flick
Too much work then I'll take that trip
Imma need that cash
Imma get that bread
Im gon' pull up clean in a brand new whip
And I'm gone




Pull up clean in a brand new whip
And I'm gone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jay-Z feat. R Kelly's song "Hold Up" depict a confident and boastful attitude. The singer has some things they want to express and makes it clear right from the start. They enter the scene with excitement and a strong sense of being intoxicated, stating that they are "way too lit." They also mention being accompanied by an attractive woman who will fulfill their sexual desires, using explicit language.


The lyrics then continue to emphasize the singer's quickness and efficiency in their actions. They compare their ability to swiftly move in and out of a situation to the speed of a fast-food drive-thru. While they boast about taking explicit pictures like a pornstar, they also mention the possibility of taking a break or vacation from their busy lifestyle, needing cash to fund their desires.


The mention of pulling up in a brand new car demonstrates their success and materialistic wealth. It further reinforces their confidence and success, as they aim to impress others with their appearance. As the song progresses, there is a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the singer's desire to continue expressing themselves and their enjoyment of being in control.


The overall tone of these lyrics is one of dominance, self-assurance, and living a lavish lifestyle.
