Hold You Down (feat. Jennifer Lopez)

Now you've been holding me down, mmm

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 kept me holdin' on

No matter what was going on

So whatever you need

I got you, yeah

Reminiscing that six train from way back

Now it's sky blue Phantoms and stretch Maybachs

But sweeping them floors in them Bronx apartments

Mira esta que on that red carpet

When 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 your back for real, true story

And 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

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, girl

I'm gon' hold you down

Yo, in 2005 Rakim and Jody Watley

Watched me paint a picture so perfect, quite possibly

The realest fresha 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 nothin' 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

('Cause you don't know)

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're down

You know that you can lean on me

No matter the situation, girl

I'm gon' hold you down

Like green is to autumn

Some things must fade

This industry, yeah

My father made me this way

Get between me and J-Lo

I'll simply state

You're better off sweeping leaves

On a windy day

So I don't care about the situation

I'ma ride for you if there's a complication

'Cause every time you had my back and all

When we were young now you're Joey Crack and all

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'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're down

You know that you can lean on me

No matter the situation, girl

I'm gon' hold you down

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

I'm gon' hold you down

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

I'm gon' hold you down

You down

Down, down

I'm gonna hold you down

You down
