Hold Me Down Video (MV)

I just cashed my first royalty check
Eight dollars and eleven cents
But I started with an empty cup and shook it for a minute
So it's seeming like a profit of 800%
And now I got these models hitting up my phone
Like, "Tony where you at, can you come over? I'm home alone
I been missing you since you been gone, all along
And I've been working up the nerve to call, all day long"
Damn, she a dime but she a dime a dozen
She ain't nothing compared to the woman I been loving
Ain't no contest, I'll never get enough
And if this hasn't been for us, then I feel like it's been all for nothing

So I get up on stage, and do what I do best
For a room full of people everybody over dressed
But now I'm getting paid so I feel like I've been blessed
A success, I confess, gotta get this off my chest

Who I am don't mean nothing
What I do don't mean nothing
If it wasn't for the people who believed in me before this all went down
Yeah, you hold me down
Where I'm at don't mean nothing
Where I go won't mean nothing
If it wasn't for the people who could leave but chose to always stay around
Yeah, you hold me down
Who I am don't mean nothing
What I do don't mean nothing
If it wasn't for the people who believed in me before this all went down
Yeah, you hold me down
Where I'm at don't mean nothing
Where I go won't mean nothing
If it wasn't for the people who could leave but chose to always stay around
Yeah, you hold me down

I keep telling myself
That it's all about the music
But the truth is there's really a hell of a lot more to it
Ain't got nothing to do with
Money power or influence
But a journey that I started now I feel I must conclude it
I guess I got something to prove
A chip on my shoulder but shit got nothing to lose
Screw it
I make music like it's nothing to it
And I'm gon' have you over the moon, when you hear the new shit
But this wasn't done alone
You put me on your shoulders feels like sitting on a throne
Y'all held me down, and I drew the blueprint
You believed that I could make it
Now I'm gonna prove it

So I get up in this booth, and prove what I can do
It all started as a party 'til I made a couple moves
Went from dropping out of school to watching dreams come true
So before I take my bow I gotta give it up to you

Who I am don't mean nothing
What I do don't mean nothing
If it wasn't for the people who believed in me before this all went down
Yeah, you hold me down
Where I'm at don't mean nothing
Where I go won't mean nothing
If it wasn't for the people who could leave but chose to always stay around
Yeah, you hold me down
Who I am don't mean nothing
What I do don't mean nothing
If it wasn't for the people who believed in me before this all went down
Yeah, you hold me down
Where I'm at don't mean nothing
Where I go won't mean nothing
If it wasn't for the people who could leave but chose to always stay around
Yeah, you hold me down
