Yo
Hold me down
Next, yeah
All I ever need is my wifey
And some real niggas behind me
A lady to hold me down
Someone that can ride in the passenger side
Ride or die
Cop the cake
Then we define
Can't nothing hold me down
Yo
Can't nothing hold me down
The sun don't shine, sun don't shine
If I, can't wake up next to mine
Wake her ass up, tap her one more time
No more baby sleeping, but she don't mind
She's ghetto
But she keeps a nigga level
Even when I'm short on change
She won't complain
Even got an extra job to maintain
All I ever need is my wifey
And some real niggas behind me
A lady to hold me down
My niggas will hold me down
Someone that can ride in the passenger side
Ride or die
Cop the cake
Then we define
Can't nothing hold me down
Yo
Can't nothing hold me down

Til somebody tried to take my baby
Now the only niggas that hang with me

Some niggas are slimy dude (but)

The song "Hold Me Down" by Next is an ode to the importance of having a loyal wife and a few real friends to rely on through difficult times. The chorus of the song emphasizes the need for a partner who stands by a person through thick and thin, and for friends to provide support and protection. The singer asserts that no matter how tough things get, he can always count on his chosen few to hold him down.
The first verse emphasizes the importance of the singer's wife, who is described as being "ghetto" but also responsible and hardworking. He expresses his gratitude for her loyalty and willingness to make sacrifices for their relationship, such as taking on extra jobs to help with finances. The second verse reveals the singer's distrust of people he once considered friends, whom he now views as "slimy" and untrustworthy, except for his core group of friends who have been with him through thick and thin.
Overall, the song emphasizes the importance of loyalty, trust, and reliability in both romantic and platonic relationships. It also touches on the idea that difficult circumstances can reveal the true nature of people's character, and that it is important to have a strong support system to rely on when times get tough.
