Versuri 03. Hold You Down

Now you 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 kept me holding on 
No matter what was going on 
So whatever you need I got you yaa 
 
Reminiscing that 6 train from way back 
Now it's sky blue phantoms and stretch may backs 
For sweepin' them floors in them Bronx apartments 
Mira esta que ta on the 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 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 
'Cuz 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
