M.J. Olden - Hold Ya Head

July 12, 2020
It's quarter after 1:00
I need to be getting ready for bed
But I wanted to drop this joint right quick

My partner called me, said he needed to vent
Got to telling me 'bout all this money he spent
A new whip and a crib, moved his fam out the hood
But the more he started talking, it ain't sound too good
He like, "All I wanted was a little respect"
"Shorty won't put up for rent or go half on a check"
"And Lil man won't listen, after I dropped this bag"
"To get a car and a spot where they ain't gotta worry 'bout stray gunshots"
"You'd think I'd be treated a Lil better"
"Carrying all these burdens, bruh I'm literally hurting"
Then I gave him some advice that I heard before
Sometimes people ain't gon' feel you 'til they can't no more
It's fucked up when your loved ones don't see your worth
Give 'em the world and they'll be mad if you're one star short
Sometimes you gotta put away the cape for your own sake
'Cause they probably won't believe 'til the day you up & leave

But hold ya head, G
Hold ya head, G
Uhh, Hold ya head, G
Hold ya head

And ladies, y'all ain't got it no better
Always disrespected and mistreated by the fellas
I admit the word "bitch" tends to roll off the tongue
Bad habits I picked up when I was young and dumb
Still in all, I recognize your pain and I feel for you
Just wanna let you know I'm here for you
Niggas like to get out of hand, no matter how good you treat 'em
And I hope you find the strength to leave 'em
They see your 4C hair, turn you down for that job
But let it be a Kardashian, they'll tell you that it's fashion
Shun you for your passion then label you erratic
Then tell you you're too angry or being overdramatic
Without y'all, there would be no life
Couldn't picture a world without a mother or a wife
We really oughta treat the ladies better, and I'ma do my part
And right here and now is where I start

So hold ya head, queen
Mmh, hold ya head queen
Yeah, hold ya head queen
Hold ya head
