I'm on my way
(DJ Khaled)
All you've been thinkin' 'bout
Do anything you want and let emotion rule your mind
Rule your mind (We The Bet Music)
And now you say you dreamin' 'bout doin' it anywhere
On your mind (another one)
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Sit in my whip and see the stars (and see the stars)
Show me just who you are (show me just who you are)
You know who really hold you down (hold you down)
And when you not around (when you're not around)
I'll hold you down
(I'm the one gon' hold you down
I'm the one gon' hold you down)
I'm on my way
(I'm the one be rollin' up
In that Bentley truck 'cause I'm rollin' up)
Want you like right now (right now)
(You the one got all I need
Give me all of you or all of me 'cause)
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
(I'm the one that's gon' hold you down
I'm the one gon' hold you down)
(Git, git, git)
I had some problems back home (so I heated up)
I ain't with that bullshit at all (then I laid it down)
Maybe it's that Virginia in me (nigga, say somethin')
Have a young nigga go so hard (and stay stuntin')
Oh, but through it all you stuck with me
Through it all you never ducked off
Like them cowards when it hit me, get me?
Girl, I swear to God you the real one and you know it
And I'll hurt anyone of ya'll for the real one and you know it
And I hold it down
Started from the bed, ended up on the floor
And I lift that ass up off the ground
I'ma put you on my shoulders, let me give you what's in store
Girl, you deserve it, all the time you been servin'
Away from the realest nigga in here, I'ma take you away
And I'll hold you down
I'ma hold you down
I'ma hold you down, baby
I'll hold you down
(I'm the one gon' hold you down
I'm the one gon' hold you down)
I'm on my way
(I'm the one be rollin' up
In that Bentley truck 'cause I'm rollin' up)
Want you like right now (right now)
(You the one got all I need
Give me all of you or all of me 'cause)
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
(I'm the one that's gon' hold you down
I'm the one gon' hold you down) (Future)
(Git, git, git)
I'm the one gon' hold you down
Put you in that Ghost so you enjoy the town
Even when the roses die
You mesmerized by the flyin' sky
We gotta socialize and cherish times (git, git)
This shit is deeper than love
I pull up in that Lamborghini (woo)
The doors in the sky
Shit is straight up suicide
You in that new Bentley truck
New, new Bentley truck (oh)
Ooh, ooh-ooh, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, ooh-ooh
We through playin' in that Versace (I swear)
We go to Abu Dhabi for a hobby (git, git)
Your body my new Bugatti (woo)
I'll hold you down
(I'm the one gon' hold you down
I'm the one gon' hold you down)
I'm on my way
(I'm the one be rollin' up
In that Bentley truck 'cause I'm rollin' up)
Want you like right now (right now)
(You the one got all I need
Give me all of you or all of me 'cause)
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
(I'm the one that's gon' hold you down
I'm the one gon' hold you down)
(Git, git, git)
Live an expensive life
And I'm just gettin' started, I get instant hype
'Cause you forever my lady
Forever my baby (real life)
Hold you down, hold you down
Girl, you helped me up when I was down
In and out, girl
Hold you down like I'm supposed to
Real nigga, I know you
Real nigga, I know you (another one)
I'll hold you down
(I'm the one gon' hold you down
I'm the one gon' hold you down)
I'm on my way
(I'm the one be rollin' up
In that Bentley truck 'cause I'm rollin' up)
Want you like right now (right now)
(You the one got all I need
Give me all of you or all of me 'cause)
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
(I'm the one that's gon' hold you down
I'm the one gon' hold you down)
(Git, git, git)
The lyrics to DJ Khaled's song "Hold You Down" featuring Chris Brown, August Alsina, Future, and Jeremih suggest a man's deep commitment to his partner. He assures her that he is always there for her, no matter what she needs, and his actions demonstrate his loyalty. The man is so committed to his partner that he offers to do anything that she dreams of doing. His offer is open-ended, as he tells her to "let emotion rule your mind." He wants her to express her desires without reservation and trusts her decisions. He wants to see the real her - not just the facade that she presents to others. Even when she's not with him, he promises to hold her down.
The chorus repeats the message that he is there for her and will hold her down no matter what. The man opens up about his past problems and implies that it is his partner's love that has kept him going. He is grateful for her loyalty and assures her that she is the real one, whom he would never hurt. The second verse features Future, who talks about how he will not only hold his partner down but also put her on a pedestal. He wants to take her out and show her the world, do whatever it takes to show her his love. The final verse is by Jeremih, who echoes the original message of enduring love and commitment to another person.
