lyrics

Hold it down

Verse 1 Ché noir

Buffalo queen with a lions heart
Was taught either grind or starve
Come from a city where niggas poor and no crime get solved

My team treat me Like the boss
Weight of the world on my shoulders it made me sore
But success was the tiger balm

Claim what’s yours and weather the storm inside the fog
We was born poor couldn’t afford to drive a car
I was like four inside the church singin Choir songs
Now I sell out tours from upstate to the China wall

Get drunk to mask the pain before I reached a legal age
Auntie paid her rent from hittin licks off a Bingo games

Homie took a bullet to the head he was DOA
Never thought my destiny or purpose would Be on stage

Teacher for the youth

This generation is Controlled by computers
No proper guidance for the kids so my Goal was to school em
Cus What’s the point of giving guns if they don’t know how to shoot em
And what’s the point of giving jewels if they don’t know how to use em

Hook

Free my niggas locked imma hold it down

Single mothers on they grind tryna get a dream

All my niggas treat me like the boss
Cus they if something happen to my niggas imma hold it down

R.i.p my niggas on the other side
Love is blind till you look into a Mother eyes

Trust is the meaning of a boss
So they if something happen to my niggas Imma you hold it down
