Holdin' It Down (ft. Stan Spit, AG, Miss Jones) Lyrics


Yea yeah, flamboyant entertainment, no doubtYo, 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 stonedWhen 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 BMWent 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 outNow 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 ladyAnd 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 onIf 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 yearsAnd 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 papers? No way pal
Word up my money longer than the OJ trialHarlem world keep holdin' it down, for Big L
Nigga long overdue, niggaz wanna know
Do you still got it got it?
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?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 Cheeses teak
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 thingAnd 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 flamethrowerRearrange 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 enchiladaHarlem world keep holdin' it down, for Big L
Nigga long overdue niggaz wanna know
Do you still got it got it?
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?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 atNow, 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 blackHigh, 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 thatHuh, 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 ClintonHarlem world keep holdin' it down, for Big L
Nigga long overdue niggaz wanna know
Do you still got it got it?
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?Harlem world keep holdin' it down, for Big L
Nigga long overdue niggaz wanna know
Do you still got it got it?
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? Big L

Lamont Coleman (May 30, 1974 in Harlem, New York – February 15, 1999), also known by his stage name Big L, was an American rapper who made significant contributions to the New York City music scene in the 1990s as a member of the hip hop collective D.I.T.C. In February 1999, Big L was shot and killed before releasing his second album. Members of the hip hop community consider him to be one of the most skilled MC's of all-time.

Big L's debut solo album, Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous, was released in March 1995. The album featured guest appearances from a number of artists, notably Kid Capri, Lord Finesse, and at the time, an unknown Cam'Ron, and Jay-Z. Two singles, "M.V.P" and "Put It On", were released from the album, both of which reached the top twenty-five of Billboard's Hot Rap Tracks. The album itself also reached the Billboard 200. From 1997 to 1999, Big L worked on his second album The Big Picture. The album featured cameos from Fat Joe, Kool G Rap, Tupac Shakur, and Big Daddy Kane among others. Jay-Z has said that Big L was set to sign with his Roc-A-Fella label, but died the week before. The Big Picture would be his last recorded album, released posthumously in August 2000. It was put together by his manager and partner in Flamboyant Entertainment, Rich King. It contains songs that L had recorded and a cappella recordings that were never used, completed by producers and guest MCs that Big L respected or had worked with previously. The album was certified gold a month later.

Lamont was killed in the doorway of 45 West 139th Street in Harlem on February 15, 1999, after being shot 23 times in the eye and chest. Gerard Woodley, one of Big L's childhood friends, was arrested in May 1999 for the crime. At the time of his death, L had two brothers in prison. "It's a good possibility it was retaliation for something [Big L's] brother did, or [Woodley] believed he had done," said a spokesperson for the NYPD. Woodley was later released and the murder case remains unsolved.

Big L's brother was later shot and stopped breathing in the same neighborhood while searching for clues relating to his brother's murder.

Gang Starr has made a tribute to Big L on their Sirius/XM satellite radio show and a song entitled "Full Clip".
