Jennifer Lopez Feat. Fat Joe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hmm, for such a long time now
From back then 'till now in my story
Straight from the hood you've always been there for me
And you had my back when they
Back when everybody said I wasn't anything
It was you that kept me holding on, no matter what was going on
Reminiscing that 6 train from way back
Now it's sky blue Phantoms and stretch Maybachs
For sweepin' them floors in them Bronx apartments
Mira esta que on the red carpet
When Pun died you was the first to call me
I never told you, but you was there for me
Whatever you need, I be there for you
Crack, I got ya back, for real, true story
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
You don't know how much you mean to me
Whenever your down you know that you can lean on me
No matter the situation, boy I'm gon' hold you down
You don't know how much you mean to me
Whenever your down you know that you can lean on me
No matter the situation, girl I'm gon' hold you down
Yo, 2005, Rakim and Jody Watley
Watch me paint a picture so perfect quite possibly
The realest freshest from BX to South beach
I'ma always hold you down, girl you can count on me
So remember this whenever I call
We go back too far, we been through it all
Even though, we haven't spoken so long
Ain't nothing change, not a damn thing baby
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 ('cause you don't know)
You don't know how much you mean to me
Whenever your down you know that you can lean on me
No matter the situation, boy I'm gon' hold you down
You don't know how much you mean to me
Whenever your down you know that you can lean on me
No matter the situation, girl I'm gon' hold you down
Like green is the autumn, some things must stay
This industry yeah I'm far to make me this way
Get between me and J-Lo, I simply stay
You better off sweepin' leaves on a windy day
So I don't care about the situation
I'ma ride for you if there's a complication
'Cause every time you had my back and all
When we were young, now you're Joey crack and all
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 because
You don't know how much you mean to me
Whenever you're down you know that you can lean on me
No matter the situation, boy I'm gon' hold you down
You don't know how much you mean to me
Whenever you're down you know that you can lean on me
No matter the situation, girl I'm gon' hold you down
You don't know how much you mean to me
Whenever you're down you know that you can lean on me
No matter the situation, I'm gon' hold you down
You don't know how much you mean to me
Whenever you're down you know that you can lean on me
No matter the situation, I'm gon' hold you down
Hold you down
Down, down
I'm gon' hold you down
Oh

The lyrics of Jennifer Lopez's song "Hold You Down" is a love letter to a loyal friend. The song tells the story of friendship, support, and standing by each other through thick and thin. The first verse talks about how the person singing the song has been held down by her friend for a long time. The friend has been there for her in every step of the way, from her humble beginnings in the hood to her current success. The friend has been her rock, supporting her even when everyone else doubted her.
In the second verse, the song talks about reminiscing the past and how far they've come. They've gone from sweeping floors in Bronx apartments to walking on red carpets together. The friend was there for her even during the darkest times of her life, like when a mutual friend died. The chorus echoes how the person singing the song will always hold you down no matter the situation. She promises to be there for her friend, who means the world to her.
In the final verse, the song talks about the ultimate loyalty and promises that the singer will always be there for her friend. It doesn't matter what kind of situation they end up in; she will always ride for her friend if there's a complication. The song ends with the phrase, "I'm gon' hold you down," which sums up the central theme of the song - loyalty and being there for someone through thick and thin.
