Hold Me Back Lyrics

[Intro]

I see how these niggas playin'

But I could adapt

[Hook]

These niggas won't hold me back

These hoes won't hold me back

These hoes won't hold me back

These niggas won't hold me back

These niggas won't hold me back

[Verse 1]

I look in my fridge, my shit lookin' scarce

I got a few kids, we need some shit on the shelf

I get a knock at the door, they say my rent overdue

And while my niggas sell dope and don't know what else to do

The only thing on my mind, I'm tryin' to keep on the lights

I call up my slime, I need a kilo tonight

Everything went well, I'm eatin' steak, no more soup

Then I parked the Caprice, I went and bought me a coupe

Everything takes time, but this shit came fast

Niggas standin' in line, they wanna hold me back

I multiplied my hustle, stimulated my mind

Motivated my niggas and we'll never divide, NO!

[Hook]

[Verse 2]

First I got me a Taurus, then I copped me a Lexus

I took over Florida, my connect out of Texas

Then I start sippin' purple, got my shit screwed

When you feedin' your circle, watch your shipments improve

Fabricate 'bout your fortune, all my fabric's imported

Fornicate in my fortress, 40k still my mortgage

24k my toilet, all my taxes reported

All my exes deported, shout-out Texas, New Orleans
