Songtext Hold up Derek Minor

Hold up

Now pay attention to me mayn
Y'all lucky that I'm not hungry today
I could put your favorite rapper on my plate
But I would starvin' an hour later
Cuz nowadays is music lackin' substance?
Is this the best that we come up with million dollar budgets?
If you trying to hear the dope truth I got the blood
Get connected to source, I'm shinin' cuz I'm plugged in
Hold up, wait a minute
Boy you got me messed up!
If you think that I'mma sell my soul to write a check off
I'm just tryna write a verse so sick you need a check up
And tell the homie God is real, so boy you keep your head up!
This that motivation you gon need
At the table with our enemies
Knock him out or make him [?]
It ain't nothing you can do to me
I was blind but I see now
Lot of people tryna shut us down
But I do it for the Kingdom now
This redemption He gon hold us down!

I say hold up
I been on my business
Talkin' true like I'm in church, now tell me can I get a witness?
I say hold up
What you see is what you get
And on the real I know the feel it
Cuz I've always been authentic
I say hold up
You could never hold us
If you think that we gon fold up
Then I guess you do not know us
I say hold up
You might have to get me going out
Cuz when I'm in it bro you know my teammates with me
I say hold up

I thought I heard you tell me I had to sell out (I'm not for sale)
But I'm still being me on stage at a sell out
What's the point of being famous if I can't be the person that I was made to be?
Shining the light of the Lord and a hundred percent Minor?
That's okay to me
I came up from nothing, I'm leaving with nothing
2000 like Kobe, I shoot at the buzzer
That negative wave, end the discussion
Kill all the hate and not leavin for budgets
And whatever calls, so I gotta ball, what you tryin to say?
I call that bull, and it's Michael Jordan, watch it fade away
Money and power, money and power
So infatuated, with this
Money and power, money and power
You can't take it with you homie
Don't you let it kill you homie
You know I feel you homie
Let's keep it real homie
Can I keep it real homie?
Some of us not living life we just breathin to death
Knock on the world in your life time then tell me what's left
One legacy, when I die will y'all still remember me?
I just pray that I'm real as real could be
Show y'all what reflect greatness means
Til then boy

I say hold up
I been on my business
Talkin true like I'm in church now tell me can I get a witness?
I say hold up
What you see is what you get
And on the real I know the feeling it
Cuz I've always been authentic
I say hold up
You could never hold us
If you think that we gon fold up
I guess you do not know us
I say hold up
You might have to get me going out
Cuz when I'm in it bro you know my teammates with me
I say hold up

I say hold up
I say hold up
