Hold It Down (Freestyle)

[Intro]
Everyone knows that I mess around
Surely, that don't mean that
You can't hold it down
You say I'm always out of town
But I don't think that don't mean
We can't figure it out, babe
(JabariOnTheBeat)
This for my dawgs though—

[Chorus]
You know all my flaws
But we chilling still
You can tell I’m off
Even when I’m thrilled
And the way you make love to me
It’s like you hate the whole world
For entrusting me—I knew it
Girl I knew you were the one
That’s why I hold it down

[Verse]
Same crib since elementary
Point is to make this shit go legendary
Precarious visions of being Motown’s own Berry Gordy
But until I own my home
I’m a slave to this game it appears
Cause life ain’t as fair as my skin tends to be
Oh, I think not
Cause I would rather play the bench
Or the field nigga
I gain way too much pain playing house
But in case you got doubts
I know shawties out here
Popping Vicodin like vitamins
Tryna hide they high as kites
From their mothers
Probably even doing harder drugs undercover
But they’d never tell me
Maybe cause I’d never keep it secret
We were all angels ‘til I learned about our demons
Whole legion turned evil
And somehow I’m supposed to cure us like we got lesions
Frequently be icky Vicky
So ill with these chips on our shoulders
Like our sky got a limit
Fly as a buzzard
But our shots getting blocked
There’s some irony in that
And I don’t know
What the fuck to tell you
‘Bout the cut since you ain’t make it
Women scream like I’m Wes Craven
Getting cream both ways
You can think of
Cause my one rule is every record
That I chuck into the drive’s worth breaking
God forsaken highway taker
‘Til I make it up to heaven
And say hi to my maker
Or bye to my haters if I die
Hope they soon immortalize my creations
I’m strong, patient, unshaken
Look into my eyes you can tell that
I’ve been waiting for this moment—can't ya?
The main component of this era
Stellar as ever is I, and truly yours
It’s all by design—why?

[Chorus]
Cause—you know all my flaws
But we chilling still
You can tell I’m off
Even when I’m thrilled
And the way you make love to me
It’s like you hate the whole world
For entrusting me—I knew it
Girl I knew you were the one
That’s why I hold it down
