Holdin It Down by Ikay
Holdin It Down lyrics
Intro
Dem Fi Know,
Yea! It�s ya boy� Ikay,
Lifestyle,
Let�s do this niggaz,
I�m holdin it down,
The kid on the street hustling all alone,
Kingston� I�m holdin it down,
All I see is my shadow, no one else around,
Brooklyn� I�m holdin it down,
Verse 1
Need a place I can go, I can mend my heart,
Need somebody to hold me down, know�s what�s happening in my thoughts,
Dear lord please shine a light on the path that I walk,
All my life is just pain, I�m thinking thug life is my destiny,
So I got four heartless killas next to me,
I�m stressed out� I can�t breathe, pass da weed, need some ecstasy,
Cuz this life stresses me,
Your life�s been great, wish I could trade places,
These niggaz are fakes, can�t trust em strange faces,
I know my girl Sashay got my back,
She always there for da kid and I love her for that,
She knows my dream, fuck da money� just wanna do rap,
Cuz it�s my first love, first thing ever loved me back,
When I rhyme I rap about my life,
When I�m stressed, I just sit and write,
All I need in this life is a pen, a paper, a beat and a mic,
Don�t give a damn about da money,
Every hustle I make, I do it for my homies,
I ain�t no sucka for love, I rather die lonely,
Funny how a piece of paper can change the world,
Power of money, look at the things I observed,
That piece of paper can cop you a new tims, cop you a new house, cop you a new Benz,
All of that comes with new friends,
And I can�t take it, my heart is aching,
A change gotta come and I�m tired of waiting,
Chorus
I�m holdin it down�
I�m livin like I�m dying,
So many thoughts in my mind, seems like I can�t make it� still I�m trying,
I�m holdin it down�
I�m hustling on da street so my niggaz can eat,
God damn I�m feeling weak,
Still I�m hustling till I�m forever asleep,
I�m holdin it down�
Verse 2
No hugs for this thug,
I�m soaked up, soaked in mud,
All I see is fake love,
Lifestyle for life,
If my niggaz alright,
Then I�m all nice,
Though when my dreams disappear from me,
You never there for me,
Still I got love though I�m not sure if you care for me,
All my life loneliness been my company,
Still I�m keepin it thuggin till death come for me,
Unconditional love, I didn�t get none of that,
Still I love my niggaz no matter what,
All those disloyalties,
It ain�t right to have my own nigga snitch at me,
You lucky I got a good mind,
I ain�t selfish, let�s talk bout da good times,
When we used to share a meal,
Listen some Pac, kick back and chill,
Pac music was a blessing for real,
The nigga got heart, the nigga got skills,
Life goes on,
For my nigga Terry in heaven� hold on,
Though it�s been so long,
I miss you nigga, though I been so strong,
Chorus
I�m holdin it down�
I�m livin like I�m dying,
So many thoughts in my mind, seems like I can�t make it� still I�m trying,
I�m holdin it down�
I�m hustling on da street so my niggaz can eat,
God damn I�m feeling weak,
Still I�m hustling till I�m forever asleep,
I�m holdin it down�
I�m holdin it down�
I�m livin like I�m dying,
So many thoughts in my mind, seems like I can�t make it� still I�m trying,
I�m holdin it down�
I�m hustling on da street so my niggaz can eat,
God damn I�m feeling weak,
Still I�m hustling till I�m forever asleep,
I�m holdin it down�
Verse 3
I don�t like fake nor phonies,
I pour out liquors bout my sleeping homies,
Brothers gone before me,
I gotta keep da faith, they in a better place
And I know someday I�m gon see their face,
Don�t worry Terry, everything�s gon be okay,
Craig! if I die I watch over you like every day,
I got ya back in every way,
I swear on every blood that I bleed,
Ms. Turner� holla at me if there�s anything you need,
I got ya back like that,
I�ll be by your side like a belt buckle strap,
If I�m gone for a second I�ll be right back,
If I make it, you make it,
Baby girl what we have is sacred,
I ain�t got a lot of friends,
Cuz half these niggaz ain�t got a lot of sense,
I don�t smile around these punks� cuz when you on top, to make you flop, they try all kind of stunts,
They wanna know which crew I represent,
They hate my lifestyle cuz I roll high like da president,
Rapping is heaven sent,
If it wasn�t for rap, I don�t know where I�d be,
Maybe alone in da streets cuz I know for a fact nobody loves me,
Chorus
I�m holdin it down�
I�m livin like I�m dying,
So many thoughts in my mind, seems like I can�t make it� still I�m trying,
I�m holdin it down�
I�m hustling on da street so my niggaz can eat,
God damn I�m feeling weak,
Still I�m hustling till I�m forever asleep,
I�m holdin it down�
I�m holdin it down�
I�m livin like I�m dying,
So many thoughts in my mind, seems like I can�t make it� still I�m trying,
I�m holdin it down�
I�m hustling on da street so my niggaz can eat,
God damn I�m feeling weak,
Still I�m hustling till I�m forever asleep,
I�m holdin it down�
