[Verse 1]
Ain't nobody took these risks, nah
I don't owe nobody else shit, nah
Everybody wanna act down
But they be the ones like put me on the list, no
Better pay me my cash, yeah
Blood money for my art, yeah
I know when I make my splash
That I'mma be the one that's swimmin' with sharks
Hold it down, I'm in the studio sleepin'
I got off of tour and my roommate just stole my shit
I learned a healthy distrust for the women I fuck
And the people I'm homies with
Petty shit isn't important, nah
I'm gettin' to live what I dream about
I been runnin' from devils forever
But I'm exercisin' my demons now
'Cause all of the homies are eatin'
My haters lookin' anemic
Doubters done turned to believers
'Cause we took the long way, it's scenic
Nobody did me no favors
I only took what I needed
I made my share of mistakes
But I learned from it, I don't repeat it

[Hook]
I don't need no one to hold it down
My homies know when to hold it down
My lady got it, she hold it down
I get it poppin', I hold it down
Hold it down, hold it down, hold it down, hold it down
I'm goin' right to the top, can't nobody stop it, I'm focused now
I don't need no one to hold it down
My homies know when to hold it down
My lady got it, she hold it down
I get it poppin', I hold it down
Hold it down, hold it down, hold it down, hold it down
I'm goin' right to the top and they know it now

[Verse 2]
Now they know the city is mine, yeah
Everybody pay respect, yeah
Can't nobody stop my grind, nah
I don't even waste my breath, nah
Used to run around uptown, yeah
All the homies chased them checks, yeah
I don't keep the fake ones round
I don't wanna be the one to break that bread
I hold it down, I learned the ones that are runnin' they mouth
Like they about it the ones that'll never do it
They just pretendin' but like the death penalty
Homie, it's all about execution
I don't be stressin' about a thing
Drama done made me emotionless
But I be questionin' everything
Like I gotta know what your motive is
Now I'm in total control of it
Nothing is breakin' my focusin'
All of my enemies foldin'
'Cause they playin' Russian Roulette with a loaded clip
Foreign whip, foreign fit
What I'm in, you not affordin' it
Don't come to me with your hands out
If you hit up my phone, I'mma forward it

[Hook]
I don't need no one to hold it down
My homies know when to hold it down
My lady got it, she hold it down
I get it poppin', I hold it down
Hold it down, hold it down, hold it down, hold it down
I'm goin' right to the top, can't nobody stop it, I'm focused now
I don't need no one to hold it down
My homies know when to hold it down
My lady got it, she hold it down
I get it poppin', I hold it down
Hold it down, hold it down, hold it down, hold it down
I'm goin' right to the top and they know it now
