[Intro]
(CashMoneyAP)
(CashAP got the beat tight)
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Overseas, Cuban links, me, oh, my
Movies screens, all my pieces be dimes
As soon as we be through, no one by my side (Yeah)
That ain't no surprise (Yeah), yeah, yeah, yeah (You know)
I got gold, I got hoes, but this shit is old (Yeah)
How I'm 'posed to know the real when they won't feel me?No
Shift the gifts and you give unconditional love

[Chorus]
If I didn't have the crib or these shiny cars
Would you see just who I am, not the superstar?
Would you hold it down, down, down now, now? (Yeah)
Would you hold it down, down, down now, now? (Yeah)
If I didn't have the spotlight out on the scene
If I didn't have the blue faces or the green
Would you hold it down, down, down now, now?
Would you hold it down, down, down now, now?

[Post-Chorus]
Away (Yeah), away, away, oh (Oh yeah)
Away (Yeah), away, oh-oh (Oh yeah)
Away (Yeah), away, away, oh-oh-oh (Oh yeah)
Would you hold it down, down, down?
[Verse 2]
Lookin' at me, you're lookin' me, and what you see?
Someone you feelin', someone you feelin' genuinely? (Oh)
Or someone to get you where you wanna be? Yeah
Please don't, please don't be like all girls, oh, like all girls
Lookin' for another dollar, another dollar
Give 'em a career, I taught her, you know I taught her
Chasin' cars, no, I don't wanna, no, I don't wanna
I can't let this girls finesse me, don't finesse me
They keep tryin' to tempt me, please don't tempt me
Need you to bring the best out of me (Woo)
Don't you see, baby? Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
If I didn't have the crib or these shiny cars
Would you see just who I am, not the superstar?
Would you hold it down, down, down now, now? (Down now)
Would you hold it down, down, down now, now? (Down now)
If I didn't have the spotlight out on the scene
If I didn't have the blue faces or the green
Would you hold it down, down, down now, now?
Would you hold it down, down, down now, now?

[Post-Chorus]
Away (Yeah), away, away, oh (Oh yeah)
Away (Yeah), away, oh-oh (Oh yeah)
Away (Yeah), away, away, oh-oh-oh (Oh yeah)
Would you hold it down, down, down?
