Held It Down lyrics

[Intro]
Yo, it's two different type of gangsters, you heard?
It's one that's gon' do sh*t for his family, you heard? Put on for the hood
(Real sh*t)
R.I.P. the f*ckin' bros
And it's one that's gon' die, you heard?
Free the f*ckin' bros
I'm not tryna be the one that's gon' die, you heard?
I miss everybody, n*gga
Like, like, like
It's that DudeyLo n*gga, man, you heard? They gon' remember my name
Shot after shot, every f*ckin' track

[Chorus]
Shout out all the ones that held it down through my whole bid
Could never be lil' Marley in that prеcinct, he a whole b*tch
Police askin' quеstions, where my lawyer? I don't know sh*t
Pops told me early how to aim and fill a whole clip
Mama told me since a jit, "Stay up off that block, boy
Stay up in that gym, crossover, keep shootin' shots, boy"
But I took the wrong route, I fell in love with Glock noise
I done went from basketball superstar to a hot boy

[Verse]
n*ggas think they tough 'cause they put they fingers on triggers, n*gga
It's gangster to do sh*t for the fam', look at the bigger picture
I done switched it up, what they thought, I only could drill rap?
I'm talkin' 'bout my life through my rhymes, n*gga, this real facts
I was down bad on my di*k all by myself, ain't no one care for me
Homie like my dad 'cause my real pops couldn't be there for me
I remember all them nights when she was scared for me
Back and forth to court, looked in her eyes, she sheddin' tears for me
That sh*t hurt me to my stomach when Edotty died
Like, damn, I really had to see Edotty mama cry
They tried to spin and then they crashed, those hollows f*cked 'em up
So when you get up in that V, you better buckle up
'Cause if you don't, it's gon' be a nightmare
I remember I was on that block where they don't fight fair
All my n*ggas vouchin' for me, they was always right there
(All my n*ggas vouchin' for me, they was always right there)
[Chorus]
Shout out all the ones that held it down through my whole bid
Could never be lil' Marley in that precinct, he a whole b*tch
Police askin' questions, where my lawyer? I don't know sh*t
Pops told me early how to aim and fill a whole clip
Mama told me since a jit, "Stay up off that block, boy
Stay up in that gym, crossover, keep shootin' shots, boy"
But I took the wrong route, I fell in love with Glock noise
I done went from basketball superstar to a hot boy

[Outro]
Ayo, remember what I said, you heard?
Don't be like one of them n*ggas, you heard
Yo, be yourself, stay up in your own lane, you heard
Free the bros, R.I.P. the bros
