[Intro: Prodigy]

Let's do this shit, ayo

It's like this man, ayo


[Verse 1: Prodigy]

When it comes to Tecs, I'm similar to a Menace

An O-Dog sniffing 'caine couldn't fuck with the damage

That I do to a bastard, keep fuckin' around

Won't be nobody strong enough to (hold you down)

Yeah, I leave 'em in shock

Niggas get sentenced to life, they stressed in the box

Most of my friends got murdered and damn I feel lost

Wish I was there when it popped off to (hold you down)

Nobody but me, I got a whole gang of niggas

But that's how you gotta think

If you wanna make it alive and all in one piece

It takes much more than them things to (hold you down)

Yo, sonny, I'm well connected in the streets (let him too you)

We loyal to each other, when it comes to that beef, we get (down)

Don't worry 'bout a thing my nigga, I foreverly (hold you down)


[Chorus: Nina Sky]

Even when shit gets hard I'm going to

Make sure that I'm around to hold you (down)

Will never leave your side

Until the day I die, I'm gonna (hold you down)

Recognize that this game could be hard

Long as you roll with me, we are (down)

Here by your side always to (hold me down, baby!)


[Verse 2: The Alchemist]

When the time is worst

Never leave my fam in a jam, I'm dying first

Never (down) to my last dollar, I'm grinding first

Never take the stand on my fam, I'm silent first

It's going down, feel me, the Alchemist in the flesh

And I love this profession, but I'll throw it all away in a second

'Cause I'm (down) for the cause when my life is threatened

Take this and that, maybe that'll (hold you down)

Now you know how we cooks the pot up

You could get caught up in some things you would not wanna

So slow (down) and watch how I mold the sound

So when I ain't around the music still (hold you down)

But I'mma keep my eyes open, yo, I don't even blink

Keep my pen moving down the line, I don't even think

Just write it (down) on the paper, get my vocals in sync

Check how it sound (hold... you... down)


[Chorus: Nina Sky]

Even when shit gets hard I'm going to

Make sure that I'm around to hold you (down)

Will never leave your side

Until the day I die, I'm gonna (hold you down)

Recognize that this game could be hard

Long as you roll with me, we are (down)

Here by your side always to (hold me down, baby!)


[Verse 3: Illa Ghee]

,

For all my niggas I war for

Blow the 4-4 for, you know I gets (down)

Even if we trapped standing back to back, I'll (hold you down)

No matter if you wrong or right, you still right

For you, I'll lay a nigga (down)

I don't care if it's the president. I cock my shit and (hold you down)

For all y'all bitches in the club

If you hop in my truck, first thing you're gonna go (down)

And when we get to the telly

I'mma bend you over and (hold you down)


[Verse 4: Prodigy]

Ayo, Mobb Thugs, drops and trucks

We got enough paper to front, you see our guns and duck (down)

Somebody finna get wigged

Homie, I hope your outfitter (hold you down)

I seriously doubt it, my chain cost a quarter mill

Imagine what I spend gun shopping

Got bullets by the thousands

The shots won't never stop, they say that we wilding

And I'm far from recluse

We right on front street with the fullies in the coupe

For the drama and the shooting

Then I take bullets and die to (hold you down)


[Chorus: Nina Sky]

Even when shit gets hard I'm going to

Make sure that I'm around to hold you (down)

Will never leave your side

Until the day I die, I'm gonna (hold you down)

Recognize that this game could be hard

Long as you roll with me, we are (down)


[Outro: Snoop Dogg]

"Alchemist been my nephew for a minute..."

"Soon, you'll, un-der-stand"
