[Chorus]

Hold me down, or get from round

This for my homie that been there from the ground

That hold me down

The ones that hold me down

Hold me down, or get from round

This for my homie that been there from the ground

That hold me down

The ones that hold me down

[Verse]

Uh, late night trips to College Park

Man I hope this bucket start

After dark, in the session, man, this shit is off the chart

Whip late night to UMD

Makin' beats in Charles Hall

Thought that shit was off the wall

Way too high to ever fall

In the basement, at the homie crib, yeah, that's where I live

Wake up every day, put pen to pad and give it all I give

Sleepin' on this couch got me havin' visions of livin' better

Do this 'cause I love it but I need the cheddar

Uh, remember when I didn't have a place to stay

Then my homie Big Lenny hit me like "Yo, come 'round my way"

Every day we plot, we scheme, we dream, educate the team

Damn, I find it funny how all this shit happened

It's hard to contemplate I've made a million off of rappin'

I guess I'm adaptin', I feel like I'm still back in the basement nappin'

And I'll wake up soon

But you could take away the chains, the money, the fame

Throw us out the game, shit would be the same

[Chorus]

'Cause they still the ones that hold me down or get from round

This for my homie that been there from the ground

That hold me down

The ones that hold me down

Hold me down, or get from round

This for my homie that been there from the ground

That hold me down (Yeah)

The ones that hold me down (Yeah)
