Sound Theory (Hold It Down)

You could turn it up
'Cause you know we hold it down
Gotta burn it up
If you coppin' by the ounce
See me in your city?
Zillas in your town
We just came to rock
'Cause you know we shut it down
You could turn it up
'Cause you know we hold it down
Gotta burn it up
If you coppin' by the ounce
See me in your city?
Zillas in your town
We just came to rock
'Cause you know we shut it down

It's your nappy headed postman, I got game to deliver
So if it ain't rap, I could paint you a picture
Sliding on the canvas, trying to get the answers
Damn- I could put my pain in a Swisher
'Cause when I roll the greens, I fill 'em by the pair
Shit, I woke up like Beans, I could "Feel It In The Air"
See, I could "Rock The Mic" right, on the freeway
Man I be missing shows like I couldn't use the leeway
Feeling like Kanye, "Damn nigga, your mom straight?"
Yeah I mean she chilling, but that's not the point...
See, I'm working this graveshift
And I ain't made shit
Wishing for a spaceship
So I could, fly, away,try, today
Just be gone, like a mile away
I'm, high, today, dropping bars in the clouds
So my city holds it down when you know that i'm around

You could turn it up
'Cause you know we hold it down
Gotta burn it up
If you coppin' by the ounce
See me in your city?
Zillas in your town
We just came to rock
'Cause you know we shut it down
You could turn it up
'Cause you know we hold it down
Gotta burn it up
If you coppin' by the ounce
See me in your city?
Zillas in your town
We just came to rock
'Cause you know we shut it down

Please bear witness, as i address the masses
Like magic, my habits, had got me through the madness
Tired of being tired, feeling like i'm slackin'
Tired of these classes, that i'm only writing raps in
Everyday is practice, so please raise your glasses
Passion in my chalice, we sippin' to tomorrow
'Cause right now- i ain't got a dollar for you to borrow
But i'm still kicking dust up, on you sucka muthafuckers
Dick-riding simple suckers, are on stage and simply stutter
But I'm better, I mean butter, I'm smooth on the scene
So where do I align, since I'm true to the dream?
Yeah, keepin' my cool for what I do for the green
Blew through the dough, smoke flew from the greens
But my stomach keeps growling, shit, i guess i'm just due for a scheme

You could turn it up
'Cause you know we hold it down
Gotta burn it up
If you coppin' by the ounce
See me in your city?
Zillas in your town
We just came to rock
'Cause you know we shut it down

Hey, we gon' hold it down
When we come around
'Cause they can't shut us down (No, No, No)
Hey, we gon' hold it down
'Cause we just want the crown
And ain't no slowing down (No, No, No)
Hey, we gon' hold it down
When we come around
'Cause they can't shut down (No, No, No)
Hey we gon' hold it down
'Cause ain't no slowing down
And we just want the crown (oh, oh, oh)
