Lyrics

Yeah, uh
This is the mighty mesmerizing motivating Mr. Maxwell
Uh, and I'm chillin' with my man Showbiz
This goes out to my man Agent 99, Mike OJ, and Ron Dyke
We blowin' up in '92, peace
Uh, yeah
Showbiz and A.G
Givin' this one out to
My baby cousin Milton, Bob Smith
My best friends Chaka Figueroa, Smokey Davis, Coto Harris
And we ran through it a little somethin' like this
Once again, back again with my friends
Diamond's beats are phat just like a Benz
Andre the Giant is great, but I should also mention
Lord Finesse, he's the funky technician
I'm on my way to the studio
It's the only way that I know how to play down low
Punchin' keys like Rocky Balboa
Sayin' rest in peace to the Chaka Figueroa
Some gotta grow up before they blow up
And did you ever know a young brother who had shit sewed up?
Rent us some BM's and Volvos and Benz
So much jewels I had to pass shit down to my friends
But when down and out and pockets are low
See how fast friends go when there's no cash flow
So I head for the top, times are hard
Pushin' mops, no pops, I had to get my own props
I can wild out, but instead
I just keep to myself and Showbiz just hold his head
Wally World (Just hold your head)
To True Blood (Just hold your head)
Kerry Dog (Just hold your head)
My cousin Chris (Just hold your head)
Hold your head, that's what Showbiz said
In memory of Coto Harris, the eulogy read
Another friend was laid to rest
This world is just chaos, confusion, and a big mess
But we gotta keep strivin'
To leave town, never get down, but keep risin'
From the ghetto, not always ghetto-minded
Some are strivin', the finish line, they never find it
All of a sudden they life stops
From black on black or harassed by white cops
Some are in jail to do time
To take away your time, your freedom, and your state of mind
So pay attention, these are facts, black
Take it from the Giant 'cause I been there and back
This is advice, so take it
Stay strong on your path and you will make it
I'm not tryna tell you what to do
Just hold your head and everything else will follow through
To Terrell (Just hold your head)
To Cool J (Just hold your head)
My brother Kel (Just hold your head)
Big Todd (Just hold your head)
Green light, that's go, why should I stop?
I'm not tryna get bagged by any narc cops
What are you on dope or this is a joke?
The other day you pulled me over searchin' for cracks and coke
What's the problem? You know I'm sober
If you drove a fuckin' Nova, you wouldn't have to pull over
You're makin' me late, my papers is straight
Never hesitate to run check and then let me skate
Take my business card, it's in my left hand
You got the right motherfucker, but the wrong goddamn plan
So pass me by or you wonder why
**** pull out they Glock and point it right between your eye
But I got my shit together, I never flip with the weather
And I always think clever, I think positive and legit
I gotta give big shouts to my peeps Kendu and Infinite
Brothers stare in my face like I'm a sucker
It's too easy to kill another young motherfucker
So I ignore it, I turn the other cheek
Yo Show, you ain't got no time for these ****, these boys is weak
Some punks wanna spit razor sinks
But Rock's packin' a Glock and I don't shoot blanks
Young boys who thought they was ready stepped to this
They made wrong moves 'cause that ass got rocked steady
Down the line, far from kind
Whippin' behind and still packin' nothin' but a nine
Back on the block, out on the streets
I recoup, retreat, scheme real neat to make ends meet
But I can't live trife, shot, stabbed with a knife
I want kids and a wife, not twenty-five to life
Negative thoughts are dead
Showbiz is the man that always holds his motherfuckin' head
To my man Tone (Just hold your head)
To Mad Mark (Just hold your head)
To Carmello (Just hold your head)
To Big Jordan (Just hold your head)
Yeah
Even though we can say rest in peace to the brothers ain't here
It's never gonna bring 'em back
So you gots to love the ones that you're close to now
And I say, and I say, and we out
A.G., my man A.G. O.N. (A.G., A.G., A.G.)
I'd like to say what's up to my man Ice Water
My man D-Smooth
My brother Collie Dog
Just to everybody, man, just hold your motherfuckin' head
Word, 'cause we been there
And we in here
Down, and we out
