Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just got some shit I wanna get off my chest
Uh
I said hold up
Let me talk my shit
Walk in this bitch
And I'm way too lit
Bad little bitch
No fast food
But I'm in and out quick
No pornstar but I take that flick
Too much work then I'll take that trip
Imma need that cash
Imma get that bread
Im gon' pull up clean in a brand new whip
Hold up
Let me talk my shit
Walk in this bitch
And I'm way too lit
Bad little bitch
She gon' suck my dick
No fast food
But I'm in and out quick
No pornstar but I take that flick
Too much work then I'll take that trip
Imma need that cash
Imma get that bread
Im gon' pull up clean in a brand new whip
And I'm gone
Bitch I be gone
Gang got a pound of that strong and I'm on
Yes I be on
Ys I be on
I just be smoking my weed til it's dawn
And I'm doing my thing
Doing my thing
Hol' up my flow be wet like a sink
Bitches been mad
They can't get a ring
Bitches been mad Bout'
Like anything
But I'm doing my thing doh
Doing my thing doh
Shawty gon' bounce that ass
Like a spring doh
Shawty go crazy when I drop my single
Don't give a fuck if that shawty a single
Come to the crib and I beat up the walls
Shawty go crazy she lickin' my balls
Hop on the phone and I'm making a call
Gang got my back so I never will fall
So it's straight the cash
And I swear I gon' crash out
Standing ten toes
I never gon' back down
Sipping that henny
I'm drunk I'm gon' black out
Got me a bitch
And I'm blowing her back out
Yeah got me a bitch
And I'm blowing her back out
My pack strong
Like I go for the max out
My shit tight like I took all the slack out
Hold up
Let me talk my shit
Walk in this bitch
And I'm way too lit
Bad little bitch
She gon' suck my dick
No fast food
But I'm in and out quick
No pornstar but I take that flick
Too much work then I'll take that trip
Imma need that cash
Imma get that bread
Im gon' pull up clean in a brand new whip
Hold up
Let me talk my shit
Walk in this bitch
And I'm way too lit
Bad little bitch
She gon' suck my dick
No fast food
But I'm in and out quick
No pornstar but I take that flick
Too much work then I'll take that trip
Imma need that cash
Imma get that bread
Im gon' pull up clean in a brand new whip
And I'm gone
Pull up clean in a brand new whip
And I'm gone
In Z-Ro and the S.U.C.'s song Hold Up, the artists boast about their wealth and success. They talk about being self-employed and paying themselves, staying true to their values, and not allowing others to bring them down. They point out the irony of paying to get into a club and then complaining about the pressure inside, and they marvel at the fancy cars they're driving and how easy it is for them to make money. They riff on a number of unrelated topics, including new shoes, hotels vs. motels, and the difficulty of catching rats in a mousetrap. The chorus, which repeats the phrase "hold up" over and over again, serves as a sort of rallying cry for the artists as they bask in their success and defy anyone who would try to knock them down.
One interesting fact about Hold Up is that it is part of a larger movement in Texas rap known as the Screwed Up Click, or S.U.C. The S.U.C. was founded by the late DJ Screw in Houston in the early 1990s and was marked by a slower, more laid-back style of rap that emphasized chopped and screwed beats. Z-Ro was one of the most prominent members of the S.U.C. during the 2000s and collaborated frequently with other members like Lil' Flip and Big Hawk. The S.U.C. had a significant influence on the broader hip-hop landscape and is credited with helping to popularize the chopped and screwed sound nationwide.
Another interesting fact about Hold Up is that it incorporates several different musical styles and influences. The song's beat is reminiscent of trap music, a subgenre of hip-hop that originated in Atlanta in the early 2000s and is characterized by heavy bass, snare rolls, and hi-hats. However, the song's lyrics and delivery are firmly rooted in Texas rap, with Z-Ro and his collaborators adopting a drawling, conversational style that emphasizes wordplay and clever turns of phrase. The combination of these different sounds and styles gives the song a unique and eclectic feel that has endeared it to fans of Texas rap and trap music alike.
