Hold up
P Diddy feat. Angela Hunte Lyrics

Hey yo turn me up in my headphones man
Increase the volume of my headphones, please.

I want this shit motherfuckin' blarin'
I want this music to be very loud.

It ain't loud enough man
The volume is still too low, I need it louder.

Oh these muh'fuckers think I'm goin' play with 'em
People don't take me seriously and think I'm joking around.

Oh I ain't goin' play wit'cha, I ain't goin' play wit'cha man!
I'm not joking around, I'm serious.

Ha ha ha, I need y'all to sing children
I want the crowd to sing along.

Sing, I like it when the children sing
I enjoy hearing the audience sing along.

I like it when you sing, I like it when they sing man
I enjoy the sound of the crowd singing.

That lets you know something's comin'
Hearing the crowd sing along makes me feel like something big is about to happen.

Oh it's comin', aw man something's comin'
I feel like something exciting or significant is about to happen.

I like this sound of this, something's comin'
I enjoy the anticipation of what is coming next.

You can picture like a photograph, envision the image
Imagine the scene as if it were a picture.

Of one-two-fifth street and Lenox
The location of the scene being imagined.

The old folks their souls are cold like tenants
"Old folks" have hardened souls like people who live in cold buildings without much warmth or care.

Tryin' to keep your weight up better eat that spinach
To stay healthy, you need to eat the right foods.

For four twenty-five niggas lives get diminished
People's lives can be lost for $425, emphasizing the dangerous environment.

The world serious, I'm tryin' to win a pennant
The world is a serious place, but I am trying to succeed like a baseball team trying to win a championship.

Cops be on patrol through the block every minute
Police are constantly watching the area.

Itchin' just to pop somethin', swearin' I'm a menace
The police are eager to arrest or harm someone, and believe I am a troublemaker.

They disturb me but it's love like tennis
The police's harassment is like a tennis match, with back-and-forth attention and ignoring each other.

Man, cap to the side and my jersey is vintage
My hat is worn crooked and my jersey is an older, classic style.

Chicks'll make a nigga dick hard like a Guinness
Women can sexually arouse men like drinking a Guinness beer.

Damn it's a scam but I handle my business
The music industry is corrupt, but I manage it well.

Tryin' to be the man if the Lord be my witness
I am striving for greatness with God as my witness.

Do my ? with the walk sign for my physical fitness
I exercise by walking briskly with the crosswalk signal.

16's sicker than all signed flows it's ridiculous
My raps are better than most other signed artists, it's crazy.

Told y'all really really y'all can't hold up
You can't keep up with my talent and success.

Easy now I'm seein' 'em, mind where you patrol
Be careful and watch where you are going.

Fall back young'un, play your lane like a goal
Stay in your place and focus on your own goals.

When his majesty speaks, speech defy gravity
When I speak, my words are powerful and impactful.

Blue tooth nigga but I don't have any cavities
I have a Bluetooth earpiece, but I don't have any dental cavities.

Diddy got it wrapped like cocoons
I have everything under control and securely wrapped up.

Pop shit like needles through ? balloons
I make bold statements like popping balloons with needles.

I urge you to tell a friend, warn a brother
Spread the word to your friends and family.

About my splurges, merges with Warner Brothers
Inform them of my spending and collaboration with Warner Brothers.

Thugs actin' funny cause chicks call me honey
Jealous people act tough when women call me affectionate names.

See a 9 figure nigga makin' Bugs Bunny money
I am making a lot of money, like the cartoon character Bugs Bunny.

Eons beyond bling bling
I have moved past flashy jewelry and material possessions.

So I chose to get engaged to these sweet 16's
I focus on making music with 16 bar verses.

Make a name, let it bang so beautiful
Create a brand and make it a powerful and positive experience.

The theme music for crews that move pharmaceuticals
My music is popular among those involved in the drug trade.

Or, suitable for, a recruit-able whore
My music can be enjoyed by anyone, even sex workers.

To service the whole crew when we out on tour
To provide entertainment for everyone on tour.

It's like the music will literally stop time
The music has a powerful and profound effect on the listener.

(Hold up hold up hold up)
Pause everything and pay attention.

We roll up, 20 deep, cock D swoll up
We come in large numbers, with my confidence and ego inflated.

Get inflicted by my verbal conviction
My words are powerful and persuasive.

A Bad Boy but far from a Detroit Piston
I am seen as a bad boy or troublemaker, but not as violent as a Detroit Piston basketball player.

You're not focused enough, you're not listenin'
You are not paying enough attention or taking things seriously enough.

You need to slow down, hold up like kickstand
Take a break and pause like a bike with a kickstand.

Hop to it, get on your grind music
Get to work and focus on your goals while listening to my music.

Across 110th sharp Caesar with a lime music
My music is suitable for many different settings and situations.

Fine-tuned with the proper soul seasoning
My music is refined and has just the right amount of soul and emotion.

Your live shows are boring you're just not pleasin' 'em
Your performances are dull and not exciting the audience.

Stop teasin' 'em you can't rock Palladium
Stop trying to impress the crowd, you can't perform at a high level like me.

We bring New York back like that West side stadium
We are making New York relevant again, like the return of a famous stadium.

Fuck the game and if the fame went away
I don't rely on the music industry or fame for success and happiness.

Still be the hardest workin' man in entertainment today
I would still work hard and succeed as an entertainer.

Learn a lesson and that's, no questionin' that
Take something valuable from what I am saying, it's certain.

No guesswork involved so stop stressin' the facts
There is no need to worry or doubt the truth.
