The Dawn (IND)
Hold It Down
[Hook]
Them say we ignorant, illiterate but I'm gonna hold it down
Cos I am militant, resilient so I'm gonna hold it down
We must stay vigilant, considerate and we gotta hold it down
We gotta hold it, we gotta hold it, we gotta hold it down

[Verse1 ]
Swing down low, swing down low
If you try fi test me bloodclaat haffi go
Find me in the streets you can find me in the show
I'm not hard to find they lining up for the flow
It ain't gone take forever to sign me up for the dough
But the independent route is wiser that much I know
They seen me take the title, I kept it on the low
I was only planting seeds now its time to watch me grow
Why is it the system try oppress I
And why is it you n***as try to stress I
Maybe cos your lady tryna flex I
I give them the TLC rest in peace to Left Eye
So many rappers say they wan' test I
You had a fair chance who's up for the next try
Cos I'm still living they tried to stretch I
Give thanks to the most high, Yes I

[Hook]
Them say we ignorant, illiterate but I'm gonna hold it down
Cos I am militant, resilient so I'm gonna hold it down
We must stay vigilant, considerate and we gotta hold it down
We gotta hold it, we gotta hold it, we gotta hold it down
[Verse 2]
I'm on my shotta thing, see me, see me
Bob Marley in the air I'm the biggest willy
This a champion thing, silly billy
No sleep till me and my n***as run the city
Split the whole thing, fifty, fifty
What's a challenge for the crown if it isn't risky
I can see the snakes, shifty, shifty
Hoping on the day I die they say nobody miss me
That's a small thing, itty bitty
Cos I already put a mark on the face of history
So you can see what he's got
S dot L dot E dot G dot
E dot in the dark its blunts we spark
If they talk hit em hard, they not from these parts
We not dogs we sharks, and this whole seas harsh
But my mind conceive thoughts that rebuild ancient arks
Brah!
