Hold You Down
Nipsey Hussle Lyrics

Everyday I think lucrative
I am constantly focused on making money and achieving financial success every day.

It always got to be progress
My efforts must always be geared towards achieving progress in my financial pursuits.

If it ain′t about that money then it ain't apart of my process
I prioritize everything that is about making money and exclude anything that doesn't add to my financial gains.

Meetin with the bosses over lobster tails
I have important meetings with people of influence while enjoying luxurious meals.

Strategizing our next move Conclusion is prevail
We make strategic plans and decisions to ensure our success in our financial pursuits.

Bitches that hold yo shit up,
Women who distract me from my financial pursuits and goals.

Bitches that fuck yo shit up
Women who negatively impact my business and financial success.

She call and she wanna lick up
A woman is trying to waste my time with unnecessary distractions.

But im busy hittin this liquor
I am focused on my financial pursuits and do not have time for distractions like drinking.

Bitch im chasing money
My primary focus is pursuing financial success and achieving financial gain.

You dont deserve a description
My financial goals and pursuits are not meant for everyone to know and understand.

It take some sacrifices to get in this position
I have made sacrifices to achieve my current financial position and success.

When my well was dry, I was still making my wishes
Even during tough times when money was scarce, I continued to pursue my financial goals and wishes.

I was riding around, I was risking it But if I didn′t do it I wouldn't get this shit
I took risks to achieve financial success and if I didn't, I wouldn't have reached my current position.

Up late nights im a owl too Theres a few things that I value
I work long nights like an owl and value money, trust, respect, loyalty, and my team.

Money, trust, respect, loyalty and my crew
These are the important values that fuel my financial pursuits and success.

Politicking bout this money with my niggas bitch hold up
Having conversations with my team about making money and strategic financial decisions.

I had to drop my bitch, cause i need no hold ups
I had to let go of a woman who was a distraction and hindering my financial success.

Walk right in VIP, we dont do no hold ups
We enter VIP areas without delay or waiting because we are important and successful.

Get too close I got some killas that a tell ya
I have people on my team who can take care of anyone who poses a threat to my financial success.

You say you want this money then nigga whats the hold up?
If someone claims to want financial success, they should be focused on that goal without delay or hesitation.

If you really bout this paper, then whats the (Hold up?)
If someone is truly dedicated to achieving financial success, they should not let anything hold them back.

Never pass on a grey back
I never miss out on an opportunity to make money or gain financially.

Came up, you can't hate that
I have achieved success and financial gain, and no one can deny or hate on that.

Self made you can′t take that
I have worked hard to achieve my financial success and no one can take that from me.

Yeah, self made you can′t make that
No one can make me successful; I have achieved it on my own through hard work and dedication.

Some say I need a record deal, I need a cosign, I need a Dre track
People may think I need someone else's help to achieve greater success, but I know that my own talent and hard work will get me where I need to be.

But all the time I had a mean flow, I had a cold grind and thats a great match (Hold Up)
I have always had a strong work ethic and talent, which has led me to financial success.

Payback, fuck codes and I make racks
I am focused on making money and ignoring societal norms or rules that hinder that pursuit.

And my pockets gon' stay fat
I will always have money and never be broke.

Cause i merk beats and I slay tracks (Hold Up)
I am talented in producing music, which has helped me achieve financial success.

Payback, wrist rocky like A$AP
I have financial wealth and success like A$AP Rocky.

Stay strapped like im Arab
I am always prepared and ready for any challenges or threats that come my way.

And in a world of lies I still stay facts
Even in a world filled with deceit and falsehoods, I am honest and true to myself and my financial pursuits.

Lame-ass, hatin′ niggas take flame baths
People who hate on my financial success are insignificant and irrelevant to me.

All you really doin when you runnin your mouth is tellin me where to aim at (GUNCOCK)
People who talk negatively about me or my financial success are only showing me their true feelings, which helps me know where to direct my attention and focus.

Duck nigga, fuck-bitches and fuck-niggas
I avoid unnecessary distractions and negative people who may hinder my financial success.

If you ain't talkin bread then I dont fuck with you.
If someone is not talking about making money or pursuing financial success, then I am not interested in associating with them.

Fifteen, Uh I′m going all in it no matter the outcome
I will give my all and put everything into my financial pursuits, regardless of the outcome.

They told me I had it and I am relapsing
People have told me I am successful and may be afraid I will fail or lose my wealth.

And how could you "X" me out?
How could you count me out or doubt my financial success?

I am not Malcolm
I am not a follower and will not be held back from my financial success.

And how could you doubt me you heard my first album
My past work and success should prove to others that I can and will achieve financial success.

And who had the nerve to think I was done with
Who thinks that I have reached my financial peak and cannot achieve greater success?

I left the game graciously for you to run with
I voluntarily stepped back from the game to allow others to have a chance at success, but I am still capable of greater financial gain.

Like that of a blueprint, go on and front then
My success and wealth can be used as a blueprint for others to follow and emulate, but some may still pretend to be successful and wealthy.

Time that you had, and this what you come with?
Is this all the progress someone has made after having time and opportunity to pursue financial success?

If you wanted to workout exercise it nigga
If someone wants to achieve financial success, they need to put in the work and effort to pursue it.

And if you want to see it, visualize it
In order to achieve financial success, one must be able to visualize it and work towards that goal.

That was me that we been discussing
I am the one who has achieved financial success and has been the topic of discussion.

And it was the thought, they thought I was bluffing
People doubted my ability to achieve financial success and thought I was lying.

I know that they waiting to see what I come with
People are waiting to see how I will continue to achieve financial success.

I told you my best and I feel my toughness
I have given my all and worked hard to achieve financial success and feel confident in my abilities and strength.

Nevertheless I'm who they fuck with IM the go-to guy you niggas go too shy
People come to me for financial advice and assistance because I am successful and reliable.

No Kanye′s or Commons I'm coming
I am unique and successful in my own right and do not need to rely on others for success.

And don't ask me who I like in the game right now I′ll say no comments.
I will not comment on my financial competitors or favorites in the industry.
