Well, it sometimes means "don't let them keep you from doing what you want, or what you're capable of doing." For instance, if some of your friends have no interest in going to college, but you've always planned on it, someone could say that your friends might "hold you down"... that is, influence you not to go to college.

It means to not let other peoples opinions or actions affect the person you are or the things that you feel.

In the context "don't let them hold you down", the "them" is referring to anything that makes you think less of yourself, that stops you from being the best you can be and living to your fullest potential.
