Hold Me Down
Shome Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, hold me down,
I'm about to lose it
My life feel just like a movie
Take the left, don't chop a...
Bust her right,...
Hold me down, I'm about to lose it
My life feel just like a movie
Take the left, don't chop a...
Bust her right,...
Let them know that I've been moving!
Steady staging like I'm Jewish
Paper cut, nasty cuts on my cuffs from my jeweler.
I can do no 9 to 5, don't get along with recruiters
Found that out when I was working with kelsor and that boy Muller.
Hit the ground running, my partners like hallelujah
Homie John in Oklahoma like you should have done this sooner, man
Maybe seen it ain't believe it
My accounts started freezing
My partners started to leave me
They're screaming, 'my brother, feed me! '
My mind started to leave me, I can hardly see the deal
Counted thoughts, dumb decisions,
I can hardly see what's real!
I like comedy, so while we're watching Kill Bill
My homie from out of town, he just got the Kill Bill.
Look, puppet through the pocket... is all in your pockets
Can't put in one, check 'em like, boy, what's in your wallet?
I do this shit for my section, my section calling me wild
Where the fuck have you been, I'm just struggling to be a scholar!
At graduation... shout out to the...
Top flow with the... that's crashing...
... in the Queens, dominating, we're kings
Let the stars align, sit back, let it make 'historiana'
... your Honor, Sir, we don't want no problems
Tell 'em we don't want no problems!
Hold me down, I'm about to lose it
My life feel just like a movie
Take the left, don't chop a...




Bust her right,...
Let them know that I've been moving!
