Hold Me Back
V.A.L. The Band Lyrics

Shoot you in yo head makin' sure your dead
I will shoot you in the head to make sure you're dead.

Everybody's talkin' about the way that you bled
People are talking about how you bled.

But ain't no rats around because the you is in the clear
No one is informing on you because you're in the clear.

So watch yo back mutherfucker 'cause I'm creepin' up on ya from the rear
Watch your back because I'm coming up on you from behind.

I'm sick of them mutherfuckers with that ho shit
I'm sick of people talking from a distance and not being honest.

Make yo self known and stop talkin' from an distance
Stop being distant and make yourself known.

I remember back to this round 1992
I remember back to around 1992.

Some niggas called me up sayin' we startin' a group
Some guys called me up saying that we're starting a group.

Yeah I gave it a try but I was in it to win it
I tried it out, but I was in it to win it.

Them niggas started somethin' they could not finish
They started something they couldn't finish.

Now I got to move on so I signed with Cash Money
I had to move on, so I signed with Cash Money.

Now I got some niggas who want to look at me funny
Now some guys are looking at me funny.

But yo I ain't even gonna let them niggas step
I won't let them get in my way.

If they start to rep I'm gonna rep mutherfucker
If they start repping, I'll rep too.

I got to set this shit straight now I'm on wax ya want to converse
I need to set this straight, and now that I'm recording, you want to talk.

But I ain't got nothin' to say since ya pissed me off
I don't have anything to say because you pissed me off.

It's best to get yo monkey ass out of my fuckin' way
It's best for you to get out of my way.

A lot of people dislike me but they don't understand
Many people don't like me, but they don't understand me.

They the one's who really made me you can hate me forever
They're the ones who really made me, so you can hate me forever.

I'm makin' money from yo head you can take this bounce
I'm making money from you, so you can leave if you want.

To another level Cash Money is in effect If ya got a problem
Cash Money is moving up, and if you have a problem with that,

Mutherfucker it's yo self you got to check
It's on you to check yourself.

I represent that fuckin' uptown
I represent uptown.

Through the circumstances and the difficulties in the rap game
Despite the circumstances and difficulties in the rap game.

Niggas be comin' with ho shit makin' it harder for next man
Guys be talking from a distance, making it harder for others.

I'm takin' a stand mutherfuck the next nigga
I'm taking a stand, and I don't care about the next guy.

Because ya got a plan with no heart
You have a plan, but you don't have any heart.

I'm only down with them niggas who was down with me from the Very start
I only support guys who were with me from the start.

ya sayin' this ya sayin' that
You're saying this and that.

The actual fact ya only lookin' for a way out
The fact is, you're just looking for a way out.

So back up off me
So back off me.

Damn why they fuckin' with an nigga
Why are they messing with me?

Ya not on the map but yet makin' yo name bigger
You're not popular, but you're making a name for yourself.

you and that ho shit you know you don't mean it
You and your distant talk, you don't really mean it.

But if ya want some drama won't ya step to Ya bitch
If you want drama, come and step to me.

Ya talkin' bad about a nigga bitch get yo mind right
You're talking bad about me and my girl, get yourself right.

Put down yo guns and let's begin to fight
Put down your weapons, and let's fight.

'cause I'm a gangster and ya know I'm true to the game
I'm a gangster, and I'm true to the game.

Test my nuts anyway to see if I'm lame
Challenge me, and see if I'm weak.

I got muscle comin' strong gee
I have strength coming on strong, man.

Tellin' this o'l mark ass gangstas To back up off me
Telling these old fake gangsters to back off me.

Now a days I'm comin' round but it's cool ya see
I'm coming back now, but it's all good.

Still a ho ass mutherfuker better act ya like ya know fool
Still, guys talking trash from a distance better back off.

Ya better step correct because I'm gonna put yo ass in check
You better get yourself together, or I'll handle it.

Comin' stompin' out the third you the 'you' is in effect
Coming out with strength from the third ward.

Nigga I still thought niggas livin' violent kimo by by my side
I'm still living violently, with Kimo by my side.

If you ever cross me, you're asking for trouble.

I'm telling you like it is because you're getting me angry.

Ya fuckin' with the Cash Money ya gonna get yo damn head split
If you mess with Cash Money, you're going to get hurt.

There are a lot of jealous women around.

My nigga Lil' Slim say shake yo ass up in a minute
My guy Lil' Slim says to get back to business.

Bitch I started off strong I bet ten that's how finish
I started strong, and I'll finish strong too.

What kind of nigga try'na go for his bitches be try'na stop me
What kind of guy tries to stop me from getting my girls?

All upset they need to find them some dick
They're all upset and need to find something to do.

But I'm gonna let the fuckin' pressure grow
I'll let the pressure continue to build.

Suckin' makin' me strong slippin' with that ho shit
Hate makes me stronger, and you guys are talking from a distance.

Don't ya know I got pussy c'mon to me bitches on my Dick and that is that be
I have girls coming to me, and that's all there is to it.

-32 and Suga Fingers keepin' things tight
Me and my guys are keeping things together.

That's a fact; I have my group by my side.

So watch yo back here come an mutherfuckin' drive by
Watch your back; there will be a drive-by coming.

Loadin' the gat's we got to be strapped packin' the gat's
Loading guns, we need to be prepared.

Can't get trapped steppin' hos checkin' a nigga with my bozack
Can't be caught off guard, and I have my girl checking on me.

Why I got to keep on tellin' you not to battle me
Why do I have to keep telling you not to mess with me?

When ya know one thing that you can never pay me back
You know that you can never repay me for what you've done.

So bitch get off me
So back off.
