[Verse 1]
Ayy, we broke the frame on it
They goin' wild, take a pic and put the frame on it (Yeah, yeah)
Switchin' sides, I can't oblige, man
How we hit the bottom but he at the top, God's plan, testify
I do this for my family on the island and in Texas
They got my back like chiropract', folks at my neck, no necklace
I told 'em I ain't goin' back like you turn sessions wreckless
They play with fire over cake, yeah, they must have a death wish
Shout out everyone that kept me held down
When they crucified my name just to keep me nailed down, yeah
Scrapin' up a lil' money for my bail now
Showin' up every time that I need a bailout, yeah

[Chorus]
Ayy, so if they hatin', they can get from 'round me
I keep it wavy when they try to drown me
Try to love my enemies, use they energy
Givin' me and focus on his P's, yeah, yeah
I got some people that's gon' (Hold me down)
Yeah, all my believers gon' (Hold me down)
Yeah, so I ain't worried 'bout nothin'
I ain't frontin' when they stuntin', all my people gon' (Hold me down)
Yeah, yeah
Someone to hold you down, stick to your side, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Someone to hold you down

[Verse 2]
Wait, wait, young oops, you don't want no problem
I need space like a rocket, motorbiking, Kawasaki, uh
Yeah, the squad is solid, tried to check me, ballot boxing
We the proof, no receipt but I ain't mad at all these commas, yeah, uh
Yeah, they make it hard to smile
Do it for my cousin locked up, waitin' for his trial
Do it for the ones that can't get to it 'cause of trials
For my people still unequal but they do it for they child
Hold it down for me, hold it down for me
With that noise, get from 'round from me, get from 'round from me
If they know me then they down for me, then they down for me
Thankful for the ones that ride for me, that'll ride for me
Hold it down, yeah

[Chorus]
Ayy, so if they hatin', they can get from 'round me (Don't move)
I keep it wavy when they try to drown me (Keep it wavy)
Try to love my enemies, use they energy
Givin' me and focus on his P's, yeah, yeah
I got some people that's gon' (Hold me down)
Yeah, all my believers gon' (Hold me down)
Yeah, so I ain't worried 'bout nothin'
I ain't frontin' when they stuntin', all my people gon' (Hold me down)
Yeah, yeah
Someone to hold you down, stick to your side, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Someone to hold you down

[Bridge]
I told Him please to take care for me
I know His peace gon' be there for me
I can see it showin' on me
I can see it worth, aw yeah
They want my downfall, watch out for me
Fake friends, they lie but then smile for me
I don't play the games they play, no
We gon' have to do it right

[Outro]
Hold up, hold up, Dad, let me talk to 'em
Daddy knows it's ready, but he found God
I know I'm broke so all the ladies gon' get drowned out
Writin' what they taught me, homework done now
Feelin' like a king, I want the crown now
My turn, hold me down
