Holdin' It Down

JASON VASQUEZ, BEATMINERZ DA, KRUMBSNATCHA, DAVID ANTHONY TIMMONS, TONY TOUCH

"Somebody's pulling me close to ground
I can sense but I can't see
I ain't panicked, I've been here before
Same as when I got popped
On a Hundred Fourth Street
Oh, look at these suckers, scrambling around
What for?
My Puerto Rican ass ain't supposed to
Have made it this far
Most of my crew got washed a long time ago
Don't worrymy heart, it don't ever quit"

Taking back from that which it came from
Holding it down, now what son, say something
Holding it down, how you holding it down
Holding it down
Taking back from that which it came from
Holding it down, now what son, say something
Holding it down, how you holding it down
Holding it down

The organized, fortified
SonDoob's immortalized
Rap acts borderline, MC's is horrified
All the while glorified
Those can't demoralize
My chorus line mesmerized, notify
All my peeps, keep your nose clean
Between you and me, Redeem cash for dreams
Take care of your team, ill self-esteem
The green
Make the world go round or so it seems

-"What's going on L?"
-"Yo, what's the deal daddy?"
-"Nothing papi
What's going out there in the East?"
-"Yo maintaining, getting this money
Yo what's the deal up in the West?"
-"Same this papi, not trying to get up"
-"Yo love is love, maintain"
-"It's all family right?" -"It's all family"

I be that rifraf lounging on the Ave
Scrambling getting money gambling, Celo
Betting Hamiltons
Every day, I'm on the money hunt
I smoke twenty blunts
Ass out with smoking honeys blunt
Me and my peoples burn
To keep destroyin' evils
From attractin' from the way we be acting
They call me derelict and say
I roll with spics in a clique too thick
It makes it hard for them to ride my dick
You don't need to, cuz I don't need you
Just a weed to keep me from flipping
Cuz it's lethal

The industry fears me
I touch a track down with eight bars severely
You know the dealy, for really
I get you open like act
Doors and worldwide rap tours
Everything I wrote soak through
Brown and black pores
Be familiar, thick like we was pasta
La Raza, Ricans and Rastas splashing casas
Who's the imposter, talking beef
I'll cap his teeth like polar
Wisdom to the molars
Spics that real, like solars

Taking back from that which it came from
Holding it down, now what son, say something
Holding it down, how you holding it down
Holding it down
Taking back from that which it came from
Holding it down, now what son, say something
Holding it down, how you holding it down
Holding it down

Ay yo, you know me, Tony
Representing cultura
All star like Fania, Johnny Ventura
Ay yo, SonDoobie, papi tengo la cura
Rap over wax, and scratching my aguja
That's how I hold it down, for my corio
PR, out in the beach, up in luqiyo
Watch out for them sharks, you know, Piyos
Bite on the next man's formats and stilos
But we know, who out there's the bandido
Tainos, like me, remain brown-dido

Clowns!, I'ma holding down
With the four-pound
To the crown, lying face down, on the ground
Not making a sound, now in case shit jump off
Lyrical sawed-off, got you caught off guard
While hard niggas u run with, run off
Ready to flip, fuck up a shit
Word to my brother
Hang with a gang, ready to bang
Regardless of color i'm color blind
I heat the track like summertime
When is it mine?
In case I got to bust a rhyme
Bait the rhyme
Maybe rape the rhyme or fuck the rhyme
Marry the rhyme, cuz Easy D, love the rhyme

Taking back from that which it came from
Holding it down, now what son, say something
Holding it down, how you holding it down
Holding it down
Taking back from that which it came from
Holding it down, now what son, say something
Holding it down, how you holding it down
Holding it down
