[Erick Sermon] 
Mm hmm  hold me down 
Hold me down 
Hold me down 
Ah yeah yeah hold me down 
Yeah uh huh uh huh  hold me down 
Word up  ye yeah  a yeh  to hold me down 
Eh te eh te eh  hold me down 
Word to  everybody that  hold me down 
Huh? Ah huh  yo  what? 

Aiyyo P back me up now  hold me down 
while I go around this town  snatchin crowns 
from those supposed  wannabe rap vocalists 
If you nice get your rope and dosey-do in this 
Let me know somethin - you want to fight? Let's go somethin 
If not, close your mouth and say nothing 
why'all imitations, fuckin up the whole situation 
with sucker MC infiltration 

[Parrish Smith] 
Aiyyo straight up, you light MC's better get your weight up 
I'm benchin three hundred and change, starvin cats get ate up 
Ain't that ill? How I can just stare, and watch the blood spill 
from an unknown rapper, but now the rapper's no thrill 
Now how real is that? Burnin gats, knives and bats 
Hot rhyme, status, with the hot wax 
Mixed with the street slang, is where it's at 
Perhaps, you should close your mouth kid and slide back 

[P] Yo E, hold me down 
[E] I'm holdin you down 
Yo P, hold me down 
[P] I'm holdin you down 
Yo E, hold me down 
[E] I'm holdin you down 
PMD, hold me down 
[P] I'm holdin you down 
Yo E, hold me down 
[E] I'm holdin you down 
PMD, hold me down 
[P] I'm holdin you down 
Yo E, hold me down 
[E] I'm holdin you down 
PMD, hold me down 
[P] I'm holdin you down 

[Parrish Smith] 
You got shit harder than this, Erick Serm' and Parrish Smith? 
What's this? Piped out five, with the kit? 
And millions to back it, keep it rugged never wack kid 
This ain't just rhymin, God's on the way, and he's askin 
who's been followin the rules, two noided, so we strap tools 
and can't cool, this go out to the cats in school 
It's not the norm, word bond, so get ready for the rainstorm 
Too hot, f*ck lukewarm, when we swarm 

[Erick Sermon] 
Yeah we swarm MC's with the bee effect, zzzzz, sting em 
like Muhammad, set the scene I'm bombin on 
CEO's, A&R's, street team to a manager 
For the cream, we damage ya 
On light-skinned, dark-skinned, albino 
From a crackhead, dopefiend, or wino 
Bring the Ultra-ment, stick you with the Magnetic 
Give a shout, to them sweet cats, rap diabetics 

[E] Yo P, hold me down 
[P] I'm holdin you down 
Yo E, hold me down 
[E] I'm holdin you down 
Yo PMD, hold me down 
[P] I'm holdin you down 
Yo E, hold me down 
[E] I'm holdin you down 
Yo PMD, hold me down 
[P] I'm holdin you down 
E-Dub, hold me down 
[E] I'm holdin you down 
Mic Doc, hold me down 
[P] I'm holdin you down 
Green Eyed Bandit, holdin it down 
[E] Yeah, I'm holdin you down 

[Parrish Smith] 
Niggaz tryin to jam the frequency, when on the low 
they be peepin me and the E, DJ Scratch, EPMD 
The Dream Team, who fiend for the cream since sixteen 
Dodgin po-nine and marks, with the high beams 
God-body, rap style, Mazerrati 
Catchin bodies, E Double holdin shit down with the sawed off shotty 
What you thought? We takin more than nickels and shorts? 
Get the f*ck out of here, nothin sweet here, you get your shit torched 

[Erick Sermon] 
I spit flames at Oklahoma 
When done, you can smell the Sermon aroma 
In a coma, burned to death, man listen 
Did he deserve, the kicked to the curb, ass whippin? 
Believe you me, it was his destiny 
for the child to end for fuckin with men 
P and I got somethin for all why'all 
who stand tall, and dose dat like to ball 
So we ball like Spalding, in the time of need 
who you calling when your career is falling? 
Ssshh, way down, you've been hit, lay down 
Hit the ground, don't get up, stay down 
Relax a minute, you shouldn'ta put your two cents in it 
Now you up a creek, in the back of a car that's rented
