[Verse 1]
|
|
[Jennifer:]
|
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
|
|
[Fat Joe:]
|
Reminiscing that 6 train from way back
|
Now its sky blue phantoms and stretch may backs
|
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)
|
|
[Bridge]

[Jennifer:]
|
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)
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Jennifer:]
|
You don't know how much you mean to me

Whenever you down

You know that you can lean on me

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
|
|
[Jennifer:]
|
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
|

[Fat Joe:]
|
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)
|
|
[Jennifer:]
|
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
