Hold You Down

Yeah, I had to hold it down

Say I'm in the middle of that storm with no life raft

These ****** tellin' my story, but just the bad half

When your mama's only son, you got a dream bigger

But now it's 30 years later, I'm a king *****

I got in front of my game, I ain't the same Ke

Them ****** spit in my face, but then they blame me

But in the matter, I held it down and I'm still goin'

I found the leaks, I patched them up, and now the water flowin'

Them late nights with that burner right on the front seat

Sittin' in Whataburger drive through, I'm one deep

Them ****** had a whole plate and I couldn't eat

Yeah, I was chunkin' deuces and they wouldn't speak

But best believe them tables turned and they still spinnin'

It's a whole different feelin' when you start winnin'

I lost it all and watched them laugh, what's the best healin'?

A lifetime of lemonade from one lemon *****

I never thought about layin' it down

Say I done had a couple dollars, but I ain't satisfied

So which one you'd rather be ***** broke or tied?

Yeah, I ignored a bunch of shit and let the drama slide

But then I looked at life different when my mama died

I got my first record deal and I was hyped up

But I kept fuckin' off that bread on that white cup

I started chasin' my blessings and dodgin' bad luck

I went to get to that bag because I had nuts

See, I ain't kissin' they ass, so now they hate my guts

But when you're broke and doin' bad, they don't give two fucks

Yeah, the bullshit was extra, but the pressure mine

So when God bless your game, it's a special time

Now these clout-chasin' ****** get paid for lyin'

I'm in a whole other lane and they still cryin'

Don Ke

Who else gon' hold it down?

The Captain

The streets is my witness
