Hold You Down

Now you've been holding me down
For such a long time now
From back then 'till now in my story
Straight from the hood, you've always been there for me
And you had my back when they

Back when everybody said, I wasn't anything
It was you who had me holdin' on, no matter what was goin' on
So whatever you need, I got you, yeah
Reminiscing that 6 train from way back
Now it's sky blue Phantoms and stretch Maybacks
Sweepin' them floors in them Bronx apartments

Mira esta que on that red carpet
With Pun died, you was the first to call me
I never told you but you was there for me
Whatever you need, I'll be there for you, crack, I got you back for real true story

Now my loyalty, will always be
With you, if you just promise me
That you'll stay real just like you are
'Cause baby you don't have to change, no
You don't know how much you mean to me

Whenever you're down, you know that you can lean on me
No matter the situation, boy, I'm gon' hold you down
You don't know how much you mean to me
Whenever you down, you know that you can lean on me

No matter the situation, girl, I'm gon' hold you down
2005 Rakim and Jody Watley, why'd she paint such a picture so perfect quite possibly
The real expression from BX to South Beach
I'ma always hold you down, girl you can count on me (So remember this whenever I call)

We go back too far, we've been through it all
Even though we haven't spoke in so long
Ain't nothing changed, not a damn thing, baby (Now my loyalty, will always be)
With you, if you just promise me

That you'll stay real just like you are
'Cause baby you don't have to change, no
You don't know how much you mean to me
Whenever you down, you know that you can lean on me

No matter the situation, boy, I'm gon' hold you down
You don't know how much you mean to me
Whenever you down, you know that you can lean on me
No matter the situation, girl, I'm gon' hold you down

Like green, it's the autumns things will stay
This industry, yeah, I fought made me this way
Get between me and J.Lo, I simply stay
You better off sweepin' leaves, on a windy day (So I don't care about the situation)

I'ma ride for you if there's a complication
Every time you had my back and all
When we were young now you Joe, we crackin' off
Now my loyalty, will always be

With you, if you just promise me
That you'll stay real just like you are
'Cause baby you don't have to change because
You don't know how much you mean to me

Whenever you down, you know that you can lean on me
No matter the situation, boy, I'm gon' hold you down
You don't know how much you mean to me
Whenever you down, you know that you can lean on me
No matter the situation, I'm gon' hold you down
You don't know how much you mean to me
Whenever you down, you know that you can lean on me
No matter the situation, I'm gon' hold you down
You don't know how much you mean to me
Whenever you down, you know that you can lean on me
No matter the situation, I'm gon' hold you down
Hold you down
Down, down
I'm gonna hold you down
