Hold Up Lyrics - Rise - Presence

[Verse 1] 

The world is mine 

but it ain't no cakewalk getting signed 

getting my chance to shine 

who really has my interests in mind 

why you shovin' me from behind 

every time I decide to sign on the dotted line 

without a product 

there ain't no sales 

if money is divine 

then I'm the holy grail 

so don't be forgettin' to listen to the rhyme 

when the guitar wails 

if all else fails 

just remember that I'm the stitch 

that holds together all this shit 

which makes everyone of y'all my bitch 

[Pre-Chorus] 

With this kiss 

I am your Judas 

and I stand with wounded wrist 

I'll never make it through this 

I twist your cross ninety degrees 

I breathe hellfire and boil the seas 

satan doesn't exist under the soil and trees 

they planted a seed 

and made you believe 

in a religion based on money and greed 

send money please 

the church needs all your cheese 

so follow my lead 

and get on your knees 

[Chorus] 

Hold up a minute 

don't wanna jump right in it 

let me soak this all in 

[Verse 2] 

Shut your mouth 

don't bring that mouth down south 

you'll get your tongue ripped out 

this is my house 

you wanna be talkin' trash 

then keep on walkin' fast 

you ain't gonna last 

tryin' to pimp like Shaft 

you make me laugh 

and you smell real bad 

I could set you up with a nice warm bath 

it's Slim keepin' it thin 

don't make come over there and kick your ass 

and all that jazz 

and all these rhymes 

that go buck 

like ten dimes 

just tryin' to open your eyes wide 

so you don't go blind 

[Pre-Chorus] 

[Chorus] 

[Bridge] 

Gradually 

I begin to see 

everything that stands in front of me 

cowards facing their insecurities 

by attacking me 

when I'm down on my knees 

stealing my air 

when it's hard to breathe 

manipulating people 

to make them believe 

I pity you bitch 

you ain't shit to me 

I run the show now 

so set your ego free 

[Chorus]
