Hold me
Janine And The Mixtape feat. Pusha T Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby, don't let me down
Got a lot goin' on right now
And I need you to hold me (I need you to hold me)
(Verse: Pusha T)
Teamwork make the dream work
I want a best friend, you want a yes man
Problems come? You got a hit man
The rent man and the trick man
Bags on shoulder, channel on loafer
Yeah, sex on sofa, go y'all passport for both us
That's no fuss, I got that you got it, my pocket yo pocket
I cop it, you rock it
No hater can stop it
King Push with the king flow
Janine, baby, that's me and you
What's a love affair with a couple tears
When yo number squares spellin' bingo?
(Hook)
Baby, don't let me down, got a lot goin' on right now
And I need you to hold me (I need you to hold me)
Baby don't let me down got a lot goin' on right now
And I need you beside me (need you beside me)
And when it gets cold and I'm feelin' kinda lonely
I'm hopin' that you're gonna put cover on me
When it gets cold and I'm feelin' kinda lonely
I'm hopin' that you're gonna put a cover on me
(Verse 2: Janine)
Will you catch my tears before they hit the ground (the ground)
Oh baby if I open my mouth
And let my darkest memories come out
I need you to stick around (need you to stick around)
(Hook)
And when it gets cold and I'm feelin' kinda lonely
I'm hopin' that you're gonna put cover on me
When it gets cold and I'm feelin' kinda lonely
I'm hopin' that you're gonna put a cover on me
(Verse 3: Pusha T)
I was searchin' for the fame and fortune, tryna build a future
Touring season was yo pain and torture, see how the game'll do ya
Yuh, I left ya with the vultures
Yo mother was poisonous, them b**ches was flyin'
Money comin', engines runnin'
From in the clouds I couldn't hear you cryin'
See, that's my fault and I can take that
The time lost we couldn't make that
No ? no ? can replace that
See, what you told me, I prolly misplaced that sh*t with a rollie
Well, that's the old me
I want the old you, now come and hold me
(Bridge)
Oh, give me somethin' good to feel
Touch me so I know it's real
Make it so I won't forget
And take me far from my regret
Oh, give me something good to feel
Touch me so I know it's real
Never want to ask for help
But I'm askin' this time
(Hook)
Baby, don't let me down, got a lot goin' on right now
And I need you to hold me
Baby, don't let me down, got a lot goin' on right now
And I need you beside me

I want you to be your true self and comfort me
Oh, give me somethin' good to feel

Touch me so I know it's real
I want physical touch to validate our relationship
Make it so I won't forget
I want to remember this moment
And take me far from my regret
I want to escape negative feelings of remorse
Never want to ask for help
I don't like to rely on others
But I'm askin' this time
I'm making an exception and asking for help now
And I need you beside me
I need your presence and support

[Verse 4: Pusha T]
I was searchin' for the fame and fortune
Tryna build a future
Tourin' season was your pain and torture
See how the game'll do ya?
Yuugh, I left you with the vultures
Your mother was poisoned, them bitches was spyin'
Money comin', engines runnin'
From in the clouds I couldn't hear the cryin'
See, that's my fault, and I can take that
The time lost, we couldn't make back
No Balmain, no Lanvin could replace that
See what you told me
I probably dismissed that shit with a roley
Well that's the old me
I want the old you, now come and hold me

Still a vibe. This girl is underrated. There’s not one song I don’t like. I get lost in her music !💋
Prettie Prynciss

This song is all about showing up to love. Sometimes people get together or get back together and they have a million things they want to say, but sometimes taking a moment to say nothing at all but instead just listen to the silence together, is all that needs to be said.

I use to listen to this when I was falling in love with this man..he was my friend. It was a cold depressing winter. I was dealing with suicidal feelings drinking every night n dealing with my own grief. He was a shoulder to lean on and I was falling in love with him but he was greiving his ex gf. It broke my heart to know he didn't love me like that. I ended up walking away. He went after me and told me to stay. Here we are two years later together and deeply in love.
MixedLife_👍✌❤
So happy for you
