hold me down

[Verse 1: Noname]

Uh, yeah

I hope you understand, everybody scams

A little Peter Pan paranoia, polygram tell the truth

In the booth, feed the drought

Couple opps bleedin' out real heavy

Cop City, ATL, kill ready

And that's your name, people slow

Incentivize money flow

The government got a hold on everything, love

What if the loved one really don't love love?

Diminish the one love we trust, that's us

[Chorus: Noname, The Voices of Creation & Both]

Any way we get it, we gon' get it for now (Hold mе)

You was with it when benefits was addеd to the account (Hold me down)

I could count on you for a favor for a certain amount (Hold me down)

Hold me down, hold me down

Hold me down, hold me down

Any way we get it, we gon' get it for now (Hold me)

You was with it when benefits was added to the account (Hold me down)

I could count on you for a favor for a certain amount (Hold me down)

Hold me down, hold me down

Hold me down, hold me down

(Somebody pick me up)

[Verse 2: Noname, & The Voices of Creation]

We could scapegoat everything

We could penny-pinch the homie for defendin' the dream

A simpler thing, by any mean, niggas'll kill they team

Say the gun did it, run with it

White man'll front man the whole vision

We just see self in his image

Won't be a self-critic, burn up our whole village

That wasn't us, that was colonialism

We keep our babies fed

We don't beat and rape on our women, we good

We is Wakanda, we Queen Rwanda

First Black president and he the one who bombed us, yeah

Makin' niggas rich, Black billionaire legit

Slave market deficit, rise up, the price up

Escapism is better livin' than this

Better be honest, baby

We better when we admit

We too can cause harm, we really should link arms

They already take arms, a factory, fake farms (Hold me)

They killers, why we help them kill us?

(Hold me down, hold me down)

(Hold me down, hold me down)

(Hold me down, hold me down)

[Chorus: Noname, The Voices of Creation, & Both]

Any way we get it, we gon' get it for now (Hold me)

You was with it when benefits was added to the account (Hold me down)

I could count on you for a favor for a certain amount (Hold me down)

Hold me down, hold me down

Hold me down, hold me down

(Somebody pick me up)

[Outro: Jimetta Rose & The Voices of Creation]

And I depend on you

And I depend on you

Just a little bit

Ah, just a little bit

And I depend on you

And I depend on you

Just a little bit more

Just a little bit
