Hold You Down (feat. Fat Joe)

Now you've been holdin' 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 kept me holdin' on

No matter what was goin' on

So whatever you need, I got you, yeah

Reminiscin' that six train from way back

Now it's sky-blue Phantoms and stretch Maybachs

For sweepin' 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

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)

You don't know how much you mean to me (Hey, hey)

Whenever you're 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 watch me

Paint 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 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 (I don't care what's goin' on)

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, it's the autumn, some things must stay

This industry, yeah, I fought 'em made me this way

Get between me and J. Lo, I simply state

You're 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

'Cause every time you had my back and all

When we were young, now you're 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'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 (Gonna 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

Hold you down

Down, down, I'm gonna hold you down
