“Hold That Door” (Intro) Yeah, yeah, yeah We know you heard that same story 10,000 times But time comes around—watch how it rhymes (Verse 1) Step up in the store, see an elder with a bag You just walk past? Nah, man, that’s sad Gotta show respect, that’s the way that I move OGs paved the path, now we walk in they shoes You too proud? Nah, don’t be that guy When your knees start crackin’, who gon’ pass you by? Every king was a prince, every boss was a seed Now they need a lil’ help? Better plant that deed (Chorus) Hold that door, don’t ignore One day you gon’ be 84 Carry that bag, show some class Karma hit quick, don’t move too fast (Verse 2) They told you them tales a million times How they walked uphill both ways, through the grime Yeah, we laugh, but the wisdom stay prime They built what we stand on, every brick, every line You think respect’s just a word? Nah, that’s law When the elders talk, better drop that jaw Soak up game, ‘fore the well run dry Or one day you’ll be old, wonderin’ why (Chorus) Hold that door, don’t ignore One day you gon’ be 84 Carry that bag, show some class Karma hit quick, don’t move too fast (Bridge) Yeah, time don’t wait, don’t hesitate One day that story gon’ resonate You’ll be tellin’ it too, in a different state And hope some young one don’t look away (Outro) Hold that door, yeah, pass that bag Respect ain’t weak, it’s the crown you grab We all walk roads that the old ones paved So give back now ‘fore you see your grave
