Hold It Down

[Verse 1: Awich]
The god told me hold it down
I was Young from Oki
Mixing lowkey
Screaming ご機嫌だぜ
Listening to da pumped
He said fuck that you in the states better learn how to hold that pump
Shockwave 590 birds head
They shot up our Cadillac in Indianapolis
Scars on my heart pain turned to calluses
A young widow, trying hard to hold it down
When I came out, I came out on top of Tokyo Metropolis
I got a stepson in Collins doing time
He said he’s coming home 2029
He’s only three years younger than me with two stripes
Just like his daddy even without him
And I send for all his kids so they can see the life
Pure gold flakes on the Wagyu slice
I’m not only fly, but my daughter fly
She’s not only fly but she organize
All these youngins in the city, she a young leader
Can you see us?
Making worldwide connection from Okinawa to Buffalo
That’s where some of your families from
I’m connecting dots on my own

[Chorus: Awich]
When you told me hold it down
Ain’t this what you mean?
When you told me hold it down
Ain’t this what you mean?
If not then I don’t know, God
If not then I don’t know, God

[Verse 2: Westside Gunn]
Hey, yo, Prada gloves on the pocket
Rocket cocked it back, kicked the door down
I seen 3 nigga at the table chopping
I locked eyes with a cookie in the mirror
And shot the first nigga that moved and made myself clearer
My whole enterprise wise men
It's time for you to realize, done with the heaven gates, I snuck the nine in
Lick a shot for the blazer, C.O.'s pop the locker, grab my knife on the wake up
All we know is blakka, blakka
Shooting out the black badge in Osaka
You need ten, I got you, shells hit you like Okada
Headshots, you can't duck the red dots
Leave the spot, the feds watch
Everything go dead, stop
The one who made hell hot
The one who made the streets go
The flyest nigga on my soul. WOW
Me and Awich, lay shit, my bracelet tasteless
No money, no make sense. No, no, no

[Chorus: Awich]
When you told me hold it down
Ain’t this what you mean?
When you told me hold it down
Ain’t this what you mean?
If not then I don’t know, God
If not then I don’t know, God
