Yo, it's a cold business but still we here,
I know the music's in my veins and there's no escaping it,
But I'm stayin' on the grind to see a million, yeah,
So I'mma hustle 'til I'm dead for this bread to break with man,
It's been a long road filled with potholes,
Might have slowed me down but goddamn I ain't stopped though,
It takes more to make it than a beat and a hot flow,
Everybody who rolled with me, I ain't forgot yo,
My man Tek, he held me down from the get,
I was a youngun, came from nothin' and was hungry to spit,
Then me and Rev did the SD thang before we bounced,
T-Dot, Kris Blair and Eternia held me down,
Notion my little brother, now he my big partner,
There ain't no stoppin' us homie, coz we the 9th Wonders,
Bekah, she with me seven years and countin',
You put up with my shit for that long, let's do an album,
Huh, baby it's on now, just smile,
I got a feelin' we finna be doin' this here for a long while,
So come on hold me down, like I'm your only child,
These muhfuckers finna know me now, yeah.
[Hook: Bekah]
Hold me down...
Cee: Hold me down, like im ya only child, these muthafuckers finna know me now x2
Hold Me down...
[Verse: Bekah]
[Hook: Bekah]
Hold me down...
Cee: Hold me down, like im ya only child, these muthafuckers finna know me now x2
Hold Me down...
[Verse: Detect]
Sup fam & what cookin?...
[Hook: Bekah]
Hold me down...
Cee: Hold me down, like im ya only child, these muthafuckers finna know me now x2
Hold Me down...
[Verse: Notion]
Ima do my thing to hold it down, where Big Cee & Tek left off,
Now all the dirt from my shoulders has been swept off,
Special thanks to them, & every emcee around them,
Im buildin' wit the best, earned my skills, to get grounded,
Started from a wide eyed youngster, who loved to,
Mimic on the bombest rappers, & follow my brother, (uh)
To spit it with the dopest out, we honour each other,
Man, you finna know us now, like your own lover,
We know difference between, honesty & trust,
But wit the crime in cities today, honestly it sucks,
Can't hold your boys down, the economy is nuts,
We all need to see the light, & yo I'll promise you its us,
See homie's im only hear to enlighten you,
All Notion when you see me, but you'll see Cee's dopeness shinin' thru,
But, each to their own, im far from a clone,
One of the most intelligent rappers out here in the zone,
If I got no support from my fam, im finna fall down,
Its hard, distinguishing real friends in the foreground,
We learn our principles, so why don't you try it dude,
Im just providin' somethin' that's different for yall to vibe it to,
Breezy, lush R&B perfect for warm weather, inspired by Afro-Indigenous artist Clara Kent's heritage, culture, and personal journey. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 6, 2023
