Hold You Down (Gervonta Davis)

01

One Year Ago

"Floyd you better take care of my baby." My mom said we finished loading the car up with stuff

"Crystal chill, your daughter will be fine." My uncle laughed

"I'm serious Floyd, don't have her out there acting all bougie and shit. You know I don't get down like that." Mom said

"Now why would I be acting bougie ma? Look around, look where I am from. Bougie is not in my vocabulary." I said looking around at my neighborhood

We don't live in the best area of Detroit, Michigan. We get a lot of violence here and there, but I mean this all I know. I love this place. I was raised here, born here. Detroit is me, I'm Detroit and no amount of money gone change that.

"I love you baby." My mom said wrapping her small arms around me

"I love you more." I said kissing the top of her head

"I promise this will only be for a little while okay." She said pulling away slightly so I could see her glossy eyes

I nodded my head.

"When everything is alright, you can come back home. If you chose to" She said

"Of course I will come back home, why wouldn't I?" I asked

"I mean your uncle life is something you always wanted. I mean your dreamboards and vision boards are full of things living with your uncle has to offer you. And trust me once you obtain those things, you're not going to want to let them go." She said

"I'll be back mom." I sighed

"Okay," She said "Now go, before y'all miss y'all flight."

"Don't worry about that, I brought the jet." My uncle smiled his pretty smile

"A jet? I never even seen one in real life, yo ma you got to let me go so I can go." I said instantly feeling hyped

"Yeah Crystal you heard the girl, let her go." My uncle laughed

She smiled and shook her head as she let me go. I fixed my cross body bag and ran to my uncles Rolls Royce and hopped in the passenger seat.

"I love you guys, be safe." My mom yelled waving goodbye to us

"Love you mom." I yelled blowing her a kiss as we turned the corner

I looked out the window and looked at my neighborhood passing by me in what seemed like slow mo. I was leaving for the first time and I don't know when I will be coming back.

"Hey, you alright?" My uncle asked wiping tears off my cheek that I didn't even feel fall down my face

"Y-yeah." I sniffled and smiled wiping my face

"Then why you crying baby girl?" He smiled as he turned into the private airport

"I'm just going to miss it here." I said

"Aye if you ever become too homesick you can take the jet to come back for a little." He said turning the car off

"Thanks uncle, for everything. It really means a lot to me." I smiled

"No problem baby, you know I'm always gone be here for you." He smiled

We both got out the car and walked to the stairs of the jet.

"Yo unc how you getting your car back to L.A.?" I asked

"On the jet." He said pointing to another small plane

"You have too much money!" I said in disbelief

He laughs and pushes me forward into the plane.

"Woah." I said looking around the plane

"Take it all in baby girl," He said placing his hands on my shoulders "this is your life now."
