Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Percocets lot of them, lot of the hoes
Tony hold that down
(Hoodrich)
Hold that down
If it's up, I keep that fire on me
It hold me down i'm tryna ball
I'm out of bounds
I smoke loud, but when police come
I don't make a sound i'm by myself
But always keep that stick beside me (Shh)
Be quiet, I can see it in your eyes
Snakes in grass, I'm a lion
Movin' work in and out your
Hood, you play with us, we firin'
Out the mud, movin' grams, old hundreds
Don't think retirement
Damn spin his block in that Hellcat
I spin the tire
Never sleep, I stayed up, but I was tired
I'm in Californ-IA just like
The Freedom Writers
Don't ask me what I'm finna rap about
You know I ain't no writer
Bitch, just pull up, I ain't into typing
Beat that nigga ass, he ain't like it
Fuck nigga, you is not like it
They keep tryna pass that damn
We ain't nothin' like them
I'm him, I need an M
We be shootin', no rim
Bitch, when I sign a deal
I'ma buy a damn gym
I remember eatin' Spam
That boy thought he had a friend
We just finessed your man, damn
It is what it is
I wouldn't take shit back I did
Even if they said I can
When you out here tryna win
You learn some lessons in the end
You don't know where we been
You can't hop in this Benz
Bitch, I thought that you was bad as
Hell until I met your friend
Yeah, you can ask around
My hoes ten out of ten
Yeah, you can ask around
It's Sink or Swim and I swim
Hold that down
If it's up, I keep that fire on me
It hold me down i'm tryna ball
But they ain't happy 'til
I'm out of bounds
I smoke loud, but when police come
I don't make a sound i'm by myself
But always keep that stick beside me (Shh)
Be quiet, I can see it in your eyes
Snakes in grass, I'm a lion
Movin' work in and out your
Hood, you play with us, we firin'
Out the mud, movin' grams, old hundreds
Don't think retirement
The lyrics of Tony Shhnow & 10kdunkin's song "Beside Me" are focused on the lifestyle they lead on the streets, and the mentality they need to have to survive. The song opens with a reference to Plan B pills and Percocets, which indicate the extent they are willing to go to alleviate the pain of their circumstances. The artists then talk about the women in their lives - a lot of them, who they must deal with while trying to make their way in the world. However, they must always remember to stay alert and hold themselves down as the world outside is cruel and their lives are not easy. They are constantly treading a fine line on the threshold of danger, and any small mistake could lead to them being out of bounds. The lyrics emphasize their fearlessness, their unwillingness to be taken down by anyone, and their perceived superiority over snakes in the grass.
The lyrics proceed with the artists talking about the hard work they put in to get where they are. They have been through difficult times and have come out on the other side, but they had to keep pushing themselves constantly. They talk about their struggles and the risks they have to take every day to stay ahead in the game. They are so involved in their work that they cannot afford to rest even when they are tired, but they are willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead. The song closes out with the reminder never to let their guard down, always keeping their equipment within reach, ready to protect themselves at all times.
