Hold You Down
ÕäÄÝ·ðÂåÅå×ÈJennifer Lopez Lyrics

Now you been holding me down
You have supported and been there for me

Hmm, for such a long time now
For a considerable period of time

From back then 'till now in my story
Throughout my life

Straight from the hood you've always been there for me
You've always been there for me since our humble beginnings in the neighborhood

And you had my back when they
You defended me when others criticized me

Back when everybody said I wasn't anything
When people doubted my success and abilities

It was you that kept me holding on, no matter what was going on
You gave me the strength and support to persevere during difficult times

So whatever you need I got you yeah
I am here for you and will support you in any way you need

Reminiscing that 6 train from way back
Nostalgically recalling the old days riding the subway train

Now it's sky blue Phantoms and stretch Maybachs
Now we have luxurious cars

For sweepin' them floors in them Bronx apartments
Remembering the past where we cleaned apartments in the Bronx

Mira esta que on the red carpet
Look at us now, walking on the red carpet

When Pun died you was the first to call me
You were the first one to offer your condolences when Pun died

I never told you, but you was there for me
I never expressed my gratitude, but you were always there for me

Whatever you need, I be there for you
I will always support you and be there for you whenever you need me

Crack, I got ya back, for real, true story
Joey Crack, I will always have your back, that's the truth

Now my loyalty will always be
My faithfulness and devotion will never waver

With you if you just promise me
As long as you promise me

That you'll stay real just like you are
That you will remain genuine and true to yourself

'Cause baby you don't have to change no
You don't need to change

You don't know how much you mean to me
You cannot fathom how much you matter to me

Whenever your down you know that you can lean on me
Whenever you are feeling low, you can count on me to be there for you

No matter the situation, boy/girl I'm gon' hold you down
I will support and stand by you, no matter the circumstances

Yo, 2005, Rakim and Jody Watley
In the year 2005, I collaborated with Rakim and Jody Watley

Watch me paint a picture so perfect quite possibly
Observe me create a flawless depiction, potentially

The realest freshest from BX to South beach
The most authentic, innovative artist from the Bronx to South Beach

So remember this whenever I call
Recall this sentiment when I contact you

We go back too far, we been through it all
We have a long history and have experienced everything together

Even though, we haven't spoken so long
Despite the fact that we have not talked in a while

Ain't nothing change, not a damn thing baby
Nothing has changed between us, nothing at all

Like green is the autumn, some things must stay
Just as the color green remains in autumn, some things endure

This industry yeah I'm far to make me this way
This industry has caused me to become the person I am

Get between me and J-Lo, I simply stay
Don't come between me and J-Lo or I will remain loyal to her

You better off sweepin' leaves on a windy day
You would be better off doing something else, like sweeping leaves on a windy day

I'ma ride for you if there's a complication
I will support you if things become difficult

Every time you had my back and all
Every time you supported me, with everything

When we were young, now you're Joey crack and all
We were friends since childhood, and now you're Joey Crack

Hold you down
Be there for you

Down, down
Continuously be there

I'm gon' hold you down
I will support and stand by you

You down
You can rely on me
