Hold You Down (radio edit) Full Lyrics
[00:17.95] Now you've been holding me down
[00:20.84] For such a long time now
[00:23.51] From back then
[00:24.36] To now in my story
[00:26.28] Straight from the hood
[00:27.56] You've always been there for me
[00:29.29] And ya had my back
[00:30.77] (When they) Back when everybody said
[00:32.75] I wasn't anything
[00:34.08] It was you who had me holdin' on
[00:35.54] No matter what was goin' on
[00:36.93] So whatever ya need I got you
[00:39.62] Reminiscing that 6 train from way back
[00:43.38] Now its sky blue phantoms and stretch may backs
[00:45.97] Sweepin' them floors in them Bronx apartments
[00:48.44] Mira esta que on that red carpet
[00:51.36] When Pun died you was the first to call me
[00:53.95] I never told you but you was there for me
[00:56.74] Whatever you need, I'll be there for you
[00:59.10] Crack - I got ya back for real (True story)
[01:02.06] Now my loyalty, will always be
[01:05.11] With you, if you just promise me
[01:08.07] That you'll stay real just like you are
[01:10.83] 'Cause baby you don't have to change (no)
