Ed O.G - Hold U [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Wake up, put on a face, now everything's great
And all fine, back in my mind I know it ain't
Bloodstains and pain, it hurts
I catch the bus and train to work, I'm ashamed to work
But it's better than drug selling
From a two-time felon, where life is jail and
Wised-up rebelling, and bring dirt back
What I'm doing, I'mma work back, and never revert back
To my old days, always got lifestyle
I can bring the young dude old grace
Me and you, and a child in court
But me and you, should give the child support
Times get rougher, we get tougher
The baby gon' suffer, breaking up the family structure
Even though we claiming we love him
I watch him barely in weeks and he can barely touch her
It goes like that

[Hook]
I don't know you, so I don't owe you
And don't trust you, follow as I could throw you
People don't care what you go through
But sometimes you need someone to hold you
Down, hold you, down, hold you
Down, hold you, down, hold you
Down, hold you, down, hold you
Down, hold you, down, hold you

[Verse 2]
Two jobs, two kids struggling
They got new cars, two cribs bubbling
You juggling, hustling, they look down on you, rub it in
And do nothing, blame it on the government
Life's the true gift, new beef, new ribs
Everybody die, few live
And keep a scour for people power
Standstill: rush our, puff sour
Sad day, is brightened by the happy hour
When the power of love overcome the love of power
Can't stand me, wanna brand me, just jam me
My motorstopper, hand me, comes in too handy
Hood vigilante, up the (?)
On every little orphan Emmy, and every nooking cranny
It's uncanny, it's just Manny being manny
Cause I'm the ugly child in the pretty family

[Hook]
