Lyrics:

Verse 1



(Jen)

Now you been holding me down mm

For such a long time now

From back then to 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

So whatever you need I got you yaa



(Joe)

Reminiscing that 6 train from way back

Now it's skyblue Phantoms and stretch Maybacks

For sweepin them floors in them Bronx apartments

Mira esta que ta 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



(Jen)

Now my loyalty will always be

With you if you just promise me

That you'll stay real just like you are

Cuz baby you don't have to change no...



Chorus



(Jen)

You dont 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



(Fat Joe)

You dont 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

(Fat Joe)

Yo, 2005, Rakim and Jody Watley

Watch me paint a picture so perfect

The realest frechest from BX to Southbeach

I'mma always hold you down, girl

(Jen)

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





(Jen)

With you if you just promise me

That you'll stay real just like you are

Verse 3

Yeah my father made me this way

Get between me and J-Lo

I simply stay

(Jen)

So I don't care about the situation

I'ma ride for you

If there's a complication

Cuz everytime you had my back and all

When we were young

And now you're Joey Crack and all



(Jen)

Now my loyalty will always be

With you if you just promise me

That you'll stay real just like you are

Cuz baby you don't have to change because...
