Hold Up
stat quo ft. bun b Lyrics

Hold up
Pausing to address someone or something

Hold up
Pause again to address someone or something

Self-employed so I'm paying me
Being your boss means receiving the compensation that you earned

Stayin' true 'cause it stay to be
Remaining loyal because it is the right thing to do

Won't loud part candy captain then get a ticket then pay the V
Avoiding loud noises and flashy behavior when driving to evade a fine or penalty

Rap 84 of the 83, ain't rhyme them and they end with me
Rapping the 84th verse of 83 just because you can, and still ending with you

How you pay to get in the club, and then hate on the pressure y'all pay to see
It makes no sense to complain about the pressure in a club when you have willingly paid to be there

Now we got mob block live again
Celebrating the revival of a lively and vibrant neighborhood

Look at these whips we're riding in
Showing off the vehicles that you and your friends are driving

Making ball and look easy baby, we don't practice like...
Making playing basketball look effortless because you do not need to practice

Sliding in I'm never super post when
Entered the establishment discreetly to avoid drawing attention

I'm getting closer I'm just... the face
Being the public representative or figurehead for a project or company

All the sinners star calling God,
Desperately calling out to God for mercy or forgiveness

All the rappers start calling Mace,
When things start going wrong, some rappers make a call for backup or support from someone they trust

Drop sounding like an earthquake,
The bass is so loud that it sounds like an earthquake is happening

Trunk bound to make an earth shake,
The bass from the trunk of the car is so heavy that it will make the ground shake

Every day is a movie for me, you like the destination on the first day
Your day-to-day life is a constant show, whereas the destination is the end goal that you strive for

Telling me it's a birthday, new shoes and her persuade,
Someone is trying to convince you to indulge in material possessions for their birthday

You should go appreciate the quire, I ain't the one you persuade,
You should go be grateful for the choir, and I am not the one who can be convinced to do something

She ain't worried of the hotel, I wouldn't even get to motel,
Someone is nonchalant about staying at a hotel since they would not even consider staying at a motel

Mess around and take your girl from you then sell it to for the...
Casually taking your girlfriend and potentially even selling her

Oh... have her back, wont' love but I love the stacks
Not being emotionally invested in the girl but interested in the money that may come from her

So I'm pulling up and then you know what
Proudly arriving at a location and establishing dominance

They looking at me like what is that
People observing with confusion at your flashy behavior

Told Brad to send me a track,
Asking Brad to send a music track for you to perform on

He send me a track to sound like a trap,
Receiving a music track with a certain sound or style (like trap music)

I don't know normally do this,
Doing something that you usually would not do

But hey when I do it sound like the trap,
Even though you do not usually perform that style of music, you still manage to make it sound good

Competition left me in flat, I'm just hoping that you trap,
Rivals leaving you behind and waiting for someone to bring you up

I'm just hoping you try to try me,
Challenging someone to try and compete with you

Get drag around by your suit tie,
Defeats someone in such an embarrassing way that they are dragged around by their suit tie

You can catch me in the forn city,
Being located in the red-light district of the city

They don't even know I rap,
Remaining low profile and keeping your celebrity status a secret

First album when platinum so they ain't many places on my map,
Having reached success, you have been almost everywhere and have no new places to explore

Going golf in Iraq, going shopping in Dubai
Traveling to unexpected and exotic places for leisure

She'll be asking the man forgives and gives me the gift form Dubai
Getting lavish gifts from a woman that she expects you to forgive or forget things

Bottle water with a mouse trap, no rat can get to my cheese
Protecting what you have from others who want to take it from you

Her... get no scraps get no bad like her ratches
Avoiding dealing with unpleasant or unsavory people

Wanna book me for five G's,
Willing to pay a lot of money to book you

Read the sign and say stop please,
Dismissing a potential booking because they do not meet your standards

Can't knock me, my trunk knocking,
Being unbothered by criticism because you know that you are doing well

My making woman looking knock me,
Having attractive women chase after you due to your success

Call me but I'm unreachable, too trill to be speaker too
Being too cool and too focused on other things to answer your phone or communicate too much

God loss in my own garage and they couldn't find me for a week or two,
Being so caught up in your own world that you forget about time and space

My trunk are open like pickable,
Flexing the fact that you can open your car trunk to show off your sound system

Me I'm... to be sipping through,
Being seen walking around with a beverage in your hand

Came to blue, all my speakers blue, but I turn em up and my speakers do
Having blue speakers, and turning up the volume to show off your sound system and dance along to the music

Rap to state then pour down,
Performing a rap show and then having a drink afterwards

Chew up cheese then throw up grants,
Indulging in material possessions only to later regret it

Then guess some bread you know I'm jam,
Still being able to afford luxuries despite the temporary setbacks

It's lunch time, she got one friend, but just one fine,
Deciding to flirt with one girl instead of a larger group of friends

One four, one dime, you already know which one is mine,
Having a specific girl in mind that you are interested in

Tripping like Jessy Jay, see love and got me in the... day
Being infatuated with someone to the point of distraction

If it comes between hoes and dough I drop off chick and then scoop you pay,
Choosing wealth over casual relationships

Might as well, I might as well, passing up dough is a major feel,
Not passing up opportunities to make money because it feels good

Take the trip to South Africa, but can't lead the the paper like... pill,
Traveling to luxurious places but not saving any money or securing the bag

Realest rapper you have ever meet, she want n autograph on her fake breast,
Being so real and authentic that even someone with a fake appearance wants a memento from you

Too young is just too dumb, girl slow it down and take a break twist,
Being too young to understand or appreciate important things in life

Check it out when my lack is out,
Instigating or showing off when you are at a disadvantage

Don't worry bout it, I ain't stressed,
Not being worried or stressed over the outcome of the situation

Hot chocolate on my hallo tips they might mess around and get a taste test.
Making a sexual innuendo about the appearance and taste of your genitalia
