      Ong this hole song still hits listening to it for the first time after 3 years or not revisiting the warm up, the coke up and Friday night lights.
      Cole is still real asf but I miss the old cole too when he was hungry asf preaching relatable soul touching shit that makes you think bro. Nothing anyone drops is like these mix tapes imo. I used to bump these tapes religiously back in like 2016-2019

    Dedicated this one to my lil brother. At a point when I heard this I was on my own. I was supposed to be the leader in our bunch. Cause of the fact that my older sister got so deep in the dark side of life the only person he and my lil sister could look up too was me. But I was so hurt at that time from the things we endured as children that the “parents” who adopted us couldn’t control me. So their only way of doin so was to get rid of me. And that’s what they did soon as I hit 18. It’s crazy cause when I think about it..I was literally alone at that time. Could of died so many times during than and no one would of known. Cause my original family lost contact with me due to them only being able to get ahold of me through my adopted parents. I could tell my little brother was hurt and that I let him down getting kicked out. The way we always connected was through music. It was a long time until I heard from my brother again..we have a very good relationship today and this track I finally got to send it to him to let him know during the times I’d think of him during that period this is what I’d play to keep him close. I hope all y’all hold yours down in the realest way. However it may be just stay solid and make sure they know you love em ya feel me.

  • @josueortiz9517

    If my heart stop pumping tomorrow don't feel no sorrow
    'Cause life is hard mentally
    And everything is meant to be
    Sometimes I ask myself if I was gone who would remember me?
    It's hard to tell
    Oh well, sit back and sip this Hennessey
    Now lately it's been hard to tell my friends part from my enemies
    'Cause plenty niggas show me love but in their hearts they envy me
    Why?
    I'm just a nigga from around the way
    Told my mama I'd make it happen and I found a way
    Pour out some liquor for my niggas at the crossroads
    And may the Lord give guidance to the lost souls
    I know that deep inside these niggas know there's more to life
    Than macking hoes and stacking dough
    Man I'm sorta like a nigga who done seen greener grass
    So when they think they balling like the dream team
    My nigga I done seen meaner cash
    And I'm trying to get
    Follow me nigga I'm on the prowl
    Headed to the top
    You watching me nigga?
    Then hold it down
    [Chorus]
    Hold it down
    If you need to holla at me don't hesitate to call
    It ain't a problem
    I can be there
    I ride for
    Lie for you
    I know you'd do the same
    I would die for you
    So hold me down
    When the times is hard I'll be around
    So hold it down
    And it don't matter how far
    I'll be around
    (I hold it down)
    [Verse 2]
    You was my nigga from the younger days
    We grew up
    I went to school, you went the other way
    But still my brother man
    I'm sitting reminiscing on
    All of them bitches we was tripping over, kissing on
    Or at the skating rink
    We trying to bag some new hoes
    And if I needed gear you'd let me hold your new clothes
    And vice-a-versa man
    But now that life is worser man
    A nigga slow caking
    I'm broke trying to chase a dream
    You just got probation
    And I'm stressed
    Your little sister pregnant
    What's next?
    Oh shit, my mama doing drugs
    At times it's hard to feel blessed
    In this madness
    I holla at my nigga in the sadness
    Remember when your mama tried to beat you with that bat?
    Shit, remember your chick Nina?
    Man that ass was the fattest
    Remember my crush on Sabrina?
    Yo she's still the baddest
    I'm just glad that I can holla at you
    It's been a while
    Until the next time I hear from you
    Aye, hold it down
    [Chorus]
    Hold it down
    If you need to holla at me don't hesitate to call
    It ain't a problem
    I can be there
    I ride for
    Lie for you
    I know you'd do the same
    I would die for you
    So hold it down
    When the times is hard I'll be around
    So hold me down
    And it don't matter how far
    I'll be around
    (I hold it down)
    [Verse 3]
    These is tough times baby
    But we'll make it through
    You know I'm headed for the top
    I swear I'm taking you
    Just hold a nigga down through this bad weather
    The rain falling
    Ain't balling but I have better
    A woman with an ass and a strong mind
    It's been a long time
    Sometimes you on your bullshit
    Sometime I'm on mine
    Will I have a hard time to stay committed?
    Or do I only want your voice moaning when I hit it?
    Man only God knows
    I know deep in your heart you don't want me to be no star though
    There's groupies after every show
    You scared I'm fucking every hoe
    And girl I ain't 'gon lie and say I won't
    'Cause shit you never know
    But may the Lord give me strength
    I love you more than anything
    The future mother of my kids
    The love is real
    And if we ever part, God forbid
    I love you still
    So when I'm on the road don't trip
    You know I'm down for you
    Keep it tight and don't slip
    And hold it down for me
    [Chorus]
    Hold it down
    If you need to holla at me don't hesitate to call
    It ain't a problem
    I can be there
    I ride for
    Lie for you
    I know you'd do the same
    I would die for you
    And hold me down
    When the times is hard I'll be around
    So hold me down
    And it don't matter how far
    I'll be around
    (I hold it down) [x3]
