Now you've been holding me down
For such a long time now
From back then to now in my story
Straight from the hood
You've always been there for me
And ya 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 no whatever ya need, I got you
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 ya 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 has 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 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, 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
(No)
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, girl, 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
