"Me and O have been trying to put this together for so many years, and now we've got the opportunity to do it," Bow Wow told Billboard.com earlier this month. "We're in the creative process right now, coming up with ideas daily, so the process is real smooth. We're anxious to make this whole thing happen. It's gonna be a special event. It's gonna be crazy, something the people have been waiting on -- the girls have been waiting on -- for years. O's one of my best friends. Anytime you get a chance to work with somebody you're best friends with, it's not even work, it's like working with family."
Hold You Down
Bow Wow & Omarion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y'all know what this is
This what you need to do, girl
So, so
(Let me hold you)
I been watching you for a minute
Come through here so sweet scented
I'm determined to win it
I know what you need, I know what's wrong
I know how to make it tight, everything'll be alright
If you (Let me hold you)
And introduce you to my world
Introduce you to the better side of life
That you ain't been seeing, girl
I'ma show you where it's at
And I'ma show you how to get it
All you got do is be wit it and (Let me hold you)
Down, like a real man's supposed to
I never would've approached you
If I ain't have intentions on doing good
See, dude you wit is so fooled
To me, girl, you're so cool
And all I'm asking you to do is (Let me hold you)
Down, like a best friend and two homies in the gang
When you cry I wanna feel your pain, no secrets, no games
All excitement, nothing plain
Keep you happy, that's my aim
And all you gotta do, girl, is (Let me hold you)
In my arms, in my mind all the time
I wanna keep you right by my side 'til I die
I'm gonna hold you down and make sure everything is right wit you
You can never go wrong if you let me hold you
Down, like a real friend's supposed to
I'm tryna show you the life of somebody like you should be living
Oh baby, baby, you can never go wrong if you let me hold you
I'ma keep you up on what's poppi'g and shake you fresh to death
When we hit the mall we can ball 'til there's no more left
I know you ain't used to it, but you gon' get used to it
'Cause that's the only way I'ma do and ya let me (hold you)
All da homies think I'm trippin' 'cause I got you a pad, but see
They just mad 'cause they ain't get you, they ain't get you
Scorpio is yo' sign and girl you're so fine
And I would do whatever in no time, no shine (Let me hold you)
It's what your coming with, but I'ma change all that
Rearrange that, put you in the Range, all black
With the rims to match, phone attached, TVs in the back
How you gon' say no to that, huh? (Let me hold you)
Niggas look at me like, "Man, here you go
Really 'bout to blow some dough"
Ain't nobody did before, so why is you so gone
'Cause I believe this was meant to be
I just gotta work at it like a crack addict up in rehab
(Let me hold you)
In my arms, in my mind all the time
I wanna keep you right by my side 'til I die
I'm gonna hold you down and make sure everything is right wit you
You can never go wrong if you let me hold you
Down, like a real friend's supposed to
I'm tryna show you the life of somebody like you should be living
Oh baby, baby, you can never go wrong if you let me hold you
Down down, around
Atlanta-lanta, f-found
E'rybody know now what I'm tryna do
I say, down down, around
Atlanta-lanta, f-found
I'm just tryna get you to let me hold you
Down down, around
Atlanta-lanta, f-found
E'rybody know now what I'm tryna do
I say, down down, around
Atlanta-lanta, f-found
I'm just tryna get you to let me hold you
In my arms, in my mind all the time
I wanna keep you right by my side 'til I die
I'm gonna hold you down and make sure everything is right wit you
You can never go wrong if you let me hold you
Down, like a real friend's supposed to
I'm tryna show you the life of somebody like you should be living
Oh baby, baby, you can never go wrong if you let me hold you
