Based on lyrical evidence, this term refers to those that visit a club and, instead of dancing and being sociable, remain out the outskirts of the dance floor, away from the 'action.'
A more traditional term for this behavior is 'wallflower.'
However, as evidenced in 'Everytime Tha Beat Drop' example below, 'holding up the wall' may also refer to a case where an individual requests that another engage in an activity only to be turned down due to (occasionally perceived) social or financial status (i.e. the archetypal 'girl that's too good for you').

Get the rub the furry wallmug. A wall street bet is when you leverage an asset to its maximum, and so risk losing everything on a very small move against you, but thereby gain the possibility of massive returns should you get your way.
Q: "Did Sam really tell his wife he would leave her unless she arranged a threesome for them on craigslist?"
A: "Yeah, it was a Wall Street Bet, but it paid off ! She was into it, and now he has sex parties every weekend with his hotwife and the local nymphs. And they've never been happier together!"

Get the Wack Wall Streetmug. The Great Wall of China refers to the 2-3 frontmost rows of seats of a University lecture theatre. The name refers to the fact that these seats are often occupied by East Asian students, who are stereotyped to be keeners when it comes to school.
This term was originally invented by medical students, but can be applied to any University course taken by Asian keeners.
