Hold Me Down
Neek Bucks Lyrics

Trying to stay up out the streets, they say I'm in it too deep
I am trying to avoid getting involved in the street life, but people say I am already too deep into it.

Bro threw a couple ounces, help me get on my feet
My friend gave me a few ounces of drugs to sell, which helped me get back on my feet financially.

You ever play, I get my block involved
If you mess with me, the people in my neighborhood will get involved in the situation.

They tried to knock him off
Someone tried to harm my friend, possibly in the street life.

Ain't no squashing once it's shots involved
There can be no reconciliation once violence has occurred.

Dear God, all I ever pray for was health
I pray to God for good health above all else.

I probably pray for all these niggas, more than I pray for myself
I pray for other people more than myself, even though I should prioritize my own needs.

When I was down bad on my last, I never asked them for help
I never asked anyone for help when I was struggling financially.

Real meetings with Vegas Jones, he told me bet on myself
I had meetings with Vegas Jones, who advised me to have confidence in myself and bet on my own success.

Imma always hold it down, yeah
I will always stay loyal and support my friends and community.

Now I'm ok, don't come around here
Now that I am doing better, people who were not there for me during my struggles are not welcome around me.

When I was down, I couldn't ask you
When I was struggling, I couldn't ask for your help or support.

When they the ones' I gave my last to
The people who I gave my all to during my hardships did not reciprocate that loyalty.

You ain't never hold me down
You never supported or helped me when I needed it.

Couple pretty bitches on my wish list
I desire to be with attractive women.

But Mama broke, I couldn't get that Pelle Pelle coat for Christmas
My mother didn't have enough money to buy me the Pelle Pelle coat I wanted for Christmas.

My friends out selling crack, I gotta fix this
My friends are involved in selling drugs, and I feel responsible for finding a way to help them get out of this situation.

We came a long way from Steak-Umm meat and fish sticks
We have come a long way since our humble beginnings of only being able to afford cheap food like Steak-Umm meat and fish sticks.

I call Meek Mill, he picking up for me
When I call Meek Mill, he answers the phone and is there for me.

You know I'm locked in with some niggas forever
I have a strong bond and loyalty to some of my friends that will never be broken.

I do this for the savages that's broke
I make music for people who are struggling and living in difficult situations.

And they daddy sniffing coke
Their father is addicted to cocaine.

Should get a Patek for this flow
My rap skills are good enough to deserve an expensive Patek watch.

Where you was at man, I don't know imma always hold you down yeah
I don't know where you were when I was struggling, but I will always support you and hold you down.

Can't let these salty bitches get the best of me
I won't let jealous and bitter women affect me negatively.

I watched my idol try to drain me until it wasn't nothing left of me
Someone who I looked up to tried to harm me and take everything from me until I had nothing left.

Don't ask me why I feel some type of way
I don't want to be questioned about my emotions and how I am feeling in this situation.

He never put me in the game
He never gave me the opportunity to succeed and reach my potential.

Watching my dreams fade away
I am watching my hopes and aspirations slowly disappear.

While niggas ate in my face
While people pretended to be my friend and eat with me, they were secretly plotting against me.

Now try to peep a nigga mind state
Now try to understand where I am coming from and what I am thinking.

If we ain't politicking
If we aren't talking and working together to achieve our goals.

Hottest, youngest niggas in the Tri-state
We are the most popular and successful young men in the Tri-state area.

Young nigga chip on my shoulder
I have a grudge and a desire to prove myself as a young black man.

Still tote the glock
I still carry a gun for protection.

Never switched sides, I did it over
I have always remained loyal to my friends and community, even if it meant starting over somewhere else.

Still with my block
I am still a part of and loyal to my neighborhood.

Niggas pick sides
People choose sides and show loyalty to certain individuals or groups.

They stop promoting
They stop supporting or helping to promote my music or career.

What's that about?
What is the reason for this behavior and lack of support?

Before I dick ride
Before I blindly support someone without thinking for myself.

I never make it you know my bop
I will never make it in the music industry if I don't have my own unique style and sound.

Now is we dealing with the real or with the money
Is our relationship or interaction based on real, genuine feelings, or is it only for financial gain?

Cause we were together when shit was real
We were close and had a strong bond when we were dealing with real-life struggles.

With no money
We had each other during our hardships, but we had no financial support or stability.

You ain't never hold me down
You have never been there for me or supported me in any way.

You ain't never hold me down, down, down
You have consistently let me down and not shown any loyalty or support.

You ain't never hold me down
You have never been there for me or supported me in any way.

You ain't never hold me down, down, down
You have consistently let me down and not shown any loyalty or support.
