Big L - Holdin' it Down Lyrics






[Big L]
Yea yeah, Flamboyant Entertainment (no doubt)

Yo, y'all fellas like to stress them chicks
Impress them chicks, spend money to dress them chicks
I sex them chicks and send them home
Corleone is known to be stoned
When I bone, I'm rubbered up in case that shit full blown
The other night around 8 P.M.
Pockets crazy slim, jumped out the gray BM
Went to the ATM, took a thou' out
then later on I had to wild out
In the club, knock some coward and his pal out
Then afterwards went to the restroom, pissed Cristal out
Now I'm thinkin - which chick number I could dial out
Cause it's L, the Harlem pimp baby, for real
I got more dimes than that Sprint lady
And that's ill, playa haters be givin me harsh looks
but I'm tryin to sell records like Garth Brooks
So eff 'em all, when it's cold I throw the skelly on
Illegal chips keep my celly on
Mega-ice is what I'm heavy on
If it ain't Cristal boo, I guess it's Perignon
If the na-na's too tight, I throw some jelly on
Yo try to tax and watch the nine mill burst
I've been off the scene over three years
and cats is still thirst - to hear Big L drop an ill verse
So all you unsigned cats that want to battle;
get a deal first - I sport the bulletproof, fitted hat
That attitude - you better get rid of that
Wherever you floss is where you gon' get it at
What? I stay strapped, I go to sleep with my steel
Makin figures while you broke cats keepin it real
L is rap's most livest cat
I'm gettin stacks while you askin people,
"Do you want fries with that?"
I rob bags in the staircase, no mask, bare-faced
The one police wouldn't dare chase
Keep my gear laced - do I walk around without papes? No way pal
Wword up - my money longer than the OJ trial

[Chorus: Miss Jones]

Harlem world keep holdin it down, for Big L
Nigga long overdue - niggaz wanna know,
do you still got it got it? ("It's so amazin'!")
Yeah yeah yeah.. Harlem world keep holdin it down, for Big L
Nigga long overdue - niggaz wanna know,
do you still got it got it? ("It's so amazin'!")

[Stan Spit]
Stan Spit, yo, uh
Yo what the hell y'all can tell Spit? Not shit
I did a flick and bounced on L's shit
Well shit, expect me to go platinum
That's the only reason why I'm rappin
And since L passed, niggaz expect me to make it happen
with no release date, I sell in each state
I'm the type to drive to Philly, for a cheesesteak
So what I'm a Harlem king, doin my thing
My name ring - chains and dames what the fame bring
After platinum it's the same thing
And niggaz'll never learn
til I pull the steel and make they lover burn
You don't get another turn, game's over
Here's my flamethrower
Rearrange your Rover, Harlem soldier
Wait til I get older - and we won't stop
I thought Mase told ya
Nigga Stan he do what he gotta
And these haters can't do me nada
Be in Nevada, with a lot of enchilada

[Chorus]

[A.G.]
Yo, yo move the fuck, A bring the heat, when I touch tracks
These niggaz beef then wanna chill? Fuck that
These rap niggaz with the mills, we deduct that
I asked all my ghetto cats, where my love at
Now where the brews, and the drugs at?
Corrupt cats kept slug hats
Asked the feds where the bugs at
Puff with the dread, cause I puff black
High, til I die, and you can trust that
All I wanna know - is the club packed?
I see the haters sweatin shorty, but I dug that
She put my nutsac, back where her lungs at - little hoe
And them niggaz who owe, give up that
Huh, it's me and Corle', like Eddie and OT
Go 'head and provoke me
Heard you rap, wanna rhyme? Better be dope B
Still "Diggin", still livin, still givin
y'all the ill written, still fuckin like Bill Clinton

[Chorus x2]

[A.G.] Big L..

    J.... D....

    Gza shadowboxing

  66. k.... c....

    quick question...I heard Big L was friends with Jay-z and had plans to sign to his label. Is that true?

    k.... c....

    king cooper big l was suppose to get signed to Colombian records by jay z but big l wanted mc gruff and some other cats to be in Colombian records but they wasn’t having it cause they wanted L so then this lead to big l making his own record “flamboyant “

    k.... c....

    Ethan Cruz livestyles of poor and dangerous released by columbia. They cancelled the deal cos of poor record sales.... Jay z almost signed big l To rocafella records.. before his untimely death

  67. M.... H....

    BIG L !

  68. N.... P....

    damn this fucking beat is awesome lol

  69. M.... F....

    no doubt why don't more ppl realize Big L is so great?, wish more rappers would feel his influence, feel like im one of the only rapping like this rite now , check my singles n freestyles ya dig

  70. M.... M....

    anything is whack with some walmart .99cent earbuds GIBSON....fucking bill cosby ass name.

  71. B.... ....

    Damn. A lot of cats who are really good are not so consistent, but L could just tear through tracks like a t-rex back in the day. His punchlines are SO sharp.

  72. Y.... ....

    i swear Big L flows on evry beat he does

  73. d.... ....

    This beat is pretty sick tho bro

  74. K.... A....

    well...i'm white too. this has nothing to do with the color. if you know what true hip hop is then you can be white, black, yellow, red and other race colors. hip hop is what you feel when you listen to it. peace brotha'

  75. 2.... ....

    you on crack bro

  76. V.... ....

    So all you unsigned cats that wanna battle get a deal first

  77. e.... c....

    this was back in the day were computors were rare and evry thing was done by tape and hand,were the lyrics were everything ,nowadays its all about stupid weird beats and crappy hooks,this is real MCin

  78. O.... w....

    I remember when i had sex with big l he said he liked my puke in is butthole

  79. O.... w....

    BIG L would be a good power ranger.

  80. E.... R....

    It's Pete Rock. Learn some respect. This beat is dope.

  81. P.... ....

    your right bro. thats what i think as well. better than pac if he lived long enough to prove himself

  82. M.... B....

    Dope as fuck! Check this out if youre into real Hip-Hop!

    mykeeblazaa.bandcamp.com/

  83. n.... h....

    big L
    lil wayne

  84. N.... A....

    HE IS THE GREATEST EVER.

  85. M.... T....

    man the more i listen to Big L the more i realize how much of a great hip hop artist we lost.. honestly my opinion is if he lived longer than he did he would be the greatest ever..R.I.P Big L forever in our hearts <3

  86. S.... ....

    everybody already know this was thrown together after he died and is probably to a beat L didn't intend it to be.

  87. S.... ....

    man shut up about da production of the shit. listen to vocals... that's whats wrong with hip hop today man.. damn.

  88. B.... ....

    Ah, good ole' memories when I was a freshman in high school (2007), I was probably the only one that listened to this type of music, and people who would hear me play this type of music were confused. That's because snap music was popular back then, and it's not a everyday thing you would have a kid play this type of music. I would listen to this during cold winter days. Ah...

  89. r.... ....

    LOL you wigga you don't know what hip hop is but i don't blame your white i would expect you to like whack shit.

  90. G.... Z....

    Yeah I'm white but that doesn't change the fact that L's flow and the beat don't go together at all.

  91. g.... ....

    fuck you

  92. T.... ....

    Go drink bleach, bitch.

  93. k.... ....

    clearly your not holding it down

  94. G.... Z....

    This beat so whack!

  95. P.... C....

    the beat itself is alright but you can clearly hear it's too fast and doesnt really fit with L flow..that's all

  96. K.... ....

    Does L still got it got it?!?! What kinda question is that? He'll always be "Holdin It Down". :)

  97. p.... ....

    man i like the chorus!!! shit makes think of this gurl, yo check me out@@
