I gotta hold down the city Gotta let you know where I come from I gotta hold down the city Gotta let you know (let you know) I gotta hold down the city Gotta let you know where I come from [Intro: Papoose] Papoose there [Verse 1: Papoose] Did all my laps in the gym, the sweat ran off my skin They thought I ran out of breath but I was just catching my wind That only happens to them, I gotta capture my win I practice 31 days a month and I practice again Was born equipped with sportsmanship so I just laugh and I grin Victory is my objective, I don't have to pretend Spread my wings like an eagle and let them flap in the wind No guts, no glory, no pain, no gain, these are actions of men My teammate is a warrior, got my back 'til the end My offense is God-sent, you gon' have to defend My crossover is vicious, I got more swagger than him Hit the bottom of the net or the back of the rim, uh Your style is a flagrant foul, your score, I'mma take it down All of your trash talking was pointless, say it now You're slacking and goaltending, my actions are bone-chilling Got the home court advantage, I'm back on the road winning (road winning) [Hook: DJ Premier & Queen Latifah] I gotta hold down the city Gotta let you know where I come from I gotta hold down the city Gotta let you know (let you know) I gotta hold down the city Gotta let you know where I come from [Verse 2: Papoose] I gotta hold the city down, anyhow, they gon' have to really bounce Totally dominate the game in front of any crowd I keep it 100 while you only keep it 50 thou' I can conquer any style, victory is in me now My time is now, who said it was later? It comes natural, I got a competitive nature Look at them guys when I'm coming, they be hiding, I'm hunting Luckily, they've been ducking me, you see lots of them running Challengers, I embarrass 'em, they a dime and a dozen Full of fire just like a dragon straight out of the dungeon I'm just rising above it, you just lied to the public I serve a purpose, you nervous with butterflies in your stomach Don't try to intimidate me, you couldn't scare me, will it? I'm spontaneous, smart, dangerous, fancy and quick My trainer told me to work, he ain't prepare me to quit I'm the only captain who's sailing this champion-ship!
Finna hit u with this smooth class flow, That old school shit, Catalacs and Afros, That’s the path I gotta go. I’m never irrelevant, Always intelligent, Write shit down but nothin happening yet. I gotta hold down the city, The World is in my hands, But so many missed opportunities, Wishing life had a rewind button, For I can re modify my possibilities. Dam, They no know the lyrics, But they don’t know the name, I have a good spirit, But no sign of fame, It’s that same thing that happens to ppl like me, U work hard u get nothing, Until till u turn that nothing to something, And maybe have your own biography, Like I said this shit is my hobby, But being wealthy is a must, I trust and believe in myself, Until I see these capabilities turn to dust. I remember me siting on the floor in my room that was the living room, Inhaling my Momma’s the depression, Cause I couldn’t do nothin but be a teen, Money wasn’t ice cream for ppl like me, And I mean everybody in my society, Roach infested apt, While drowning in my deepest regrets, I realize that something special can occur if u willing to commit, The sky is the limit, And now I gotta future to catch. Gotta let u know where I come from is that NYC the Bronx, Where my legacy starts, Apart of me wants to lay low and another just wants to fast flow, Lyrics stained in my mind that reveal pain and sorrow, Or lyrics that affect me that might not see tommorow, That’s the way it’s gotta go... My life is missing something like meatballs without spaghetti, And now already I start to look at the view in that mirror with my head held high, Knowing it’s me, I gotta take care of my family, I gotta hold down the city.
Smoothest beat ever😦🎵
Hi
I LOVED THIS SONG IN NBA2K16
This beat is too cold
I gotta hold down the city
Gotta let you know where I come from
I gotta hold down the city
Gotta let you know (let you know)
I gotta hold down the city
Gotta let you know where I come from
[Intro: Papoose]
Papoose there
[Verse 1: Papoose]
Did all my laps in the gym, the sweat ran off my skin
They thought I ran out of breath but I was just catching my wind
That only happens to them, I gotta capture my win
I practice 31 days a month and I practice again
Was born equipped with sportsmanship so I just laugh and I grin
Victory is my objective, I don't have to pretend
Spread my wings like an eagle and let them flap in the wind
No guts, no glory, no pain, no gain, these are actions of men
My teammate is a warrior, got my back 'til the end
My offense is God-sent, you gon' have to defend
My crossover is vicious, I got more swagger than him
Hit the bottom of the net or the back of the rim, uh
Your style is a flagrant foul, your score, I'mma take it down
All of your trash talking was pointless, say it now
You're slacking and goaltending, my actions are bone-chilling
Got the home court advantage, I'm back on the road winning (road winning)
[Hook: DJ Premier & Queen Latifah]
I gotta hold down the city
Gotta let you know where I come from
I gotta hold down the city
Gotta let you know (let you know)
I gotta hold down the city
Gotta let you know where I come from
[Verse 2: Papoose]
I gotta hold the city down, anyhow, they gon' have to really bounce
Totally dominate the game in front of any crowd
I keep it 100 while you only keep it 50 thou'
I can conquer any style, victory is in me now
My time is now, who said it was later?
It comes natural, I got a competitive nature
Look at them guys when I'm coming, they be hiding, I'm hunting
Luckily, they've been ducking me, you see lots of them running
Challengers, I embarrass 'em, they a dime and a dozen
Full of fire just like a dragon straight out of the dungeon
I'm just rising above it, you just lied to the public
I serve a purpose, you nervous with butterflies in your stomach
Don't try to intimidate me, you couldn't scare me, will it?
I'm spontaneous, smart, dangerous, fancy and quick
My trainer told me to work, he ain't prepare me to quit
I'm the only captain who's sailing this champion-ship!

Dizzy Wright - Train Your Mind Instrumental! Please
Finna hit u with this smooth class flow,
That old school shit,
Catalacs and Afros,
That’s the path I gotta go.
I’m never irrelevant,
Always intelligent,
Write shit down but nothin happening yet.
I gotta hold down the city,
The World is in my hands,
But so many missed opportunities,
Wishing life had a rewind button,
For I can re modify my possibilities.
Dam,
They no know the lyrics,
But they don’t know the name,
I have a good spirit,
But no sign of fame,
It’s that same thing that happens to ppl like me,
U work hard u get nothing,
Until till u turn that nothing to something,
And maybe have your own biography,
Like I said this shit is my hobby,
But being wealthy is a must,
I trust and believe in myself,
Until I see these capabilities turn to dust.
I remember me siting on the floor in my room that was the living room,
Inhaling my Momma’s the depression,
Cause I couldn’t do nothin but be a teen,
Money wasn’t ice cream for ppl like me,
And I mean everybody in my society,
Roach infested apt,
While drowning in my deepest regrets,
I realize that something special can occur if u willing to commit,
The sky is the limit,
And now I gotta future to catch.
Gotta let u know where I come from is that NYC the Bronx,
Where my legacy starts,
Apart of me wants to lay low and another just wants to fast flow,
Lyrics stained in my mind that reveal pain and sorrow,
Or lyrics that affect me that might not see tommorow,
That’s the way it’s gotta go...
My life is missing something like meatballs without spaghetti,
And now already I start to look at the view in that mirror with my head held high,
Knowing it’s me,
I gotta take care of my family,
I gotta hold down the city.
bless up brother ❤
