[Verse 1]
Never been rational
You niggas laughable
I'm about to take over girls like they national
All I've been doing is winning this radical
I'm still a general movements are tactical
I do not pass the more work I cash it up
I do not take days off I'm like pass me more
Hand me the valuables young niggas fashionable
Watch how I get it and change, you asshole haha

[Verse 2]
I don't put shit up I'd rather send you up
I feel like I'm Buddha like hoe where the Judaism
Say [?] gave her tulips she laughed and I do her
But don't pass the hookah I should but I could've
But I'm still a student I'm learning improvements
She acts like a nudist on instagram proves it
Russian Roulette I've never be losin'
I'm in by myself 'cause my niggas be shootin'
They fightin' amusin' but I'm not included
I got shit to do and I can't have it brewing
I fucking go do it go take over the movement
I swear I'm not human intelligence fluent
The shit I'm persuin' is cooking and brewing
I see through you niggas you niggas translucent
Watch when I blow up I say it improving
Said it before man I'm chillin' and cruisin', damn down

[Chorus]
Hold it down
Hold it what?
Hold it down
Hold it eh
Hold it down
Hold it what?
Hold it down
Yeah, eh
Hold it down
Hold it what?
Hold it down
Hold it what
Hold it down
Hold it what?
Hold it down
