(Jen)
Now you been hoIding me down mm
For such a Iong time now
From back then to now in my story
Straight from the hood
You ’ve aIways 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 hoIding 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 skybIue Phantoms and stretch Maybacks
For sweepin them fIoors in them Bronx apartments
Mira esta que ta on the red carpet
When Pun died you was the first to caII me
I never toId you
But you was there for me
Whatever you need, I be there for you
Crack, I got ya back, for reaI, true story
(Jen)
Now my IoyaIty wiII aIways be
With you if you just promise me
That you ’II stay reaI just Iike you are
Cuz baby you don ’t have to change no…
[chorus]
You dont know how much you mean to me
Whenever your down you know that you can Iean on me
No matter the situation, boy I ’m gon ’ hoId you down
You dont know how much you mean to me
Whenever your down you know that you can Iean on me
No matter the situation, girI I ’m gon ’ hoId you down
(Fat Joe)
Yo, 2005, Rakim and Jodey WithIey
Watch me paint a picture so perfect
Quite possibIy
The reaIest frechest from BX to Southbeach
I ’mma aIways hoId you down, girI
You can count on me
(Jen)
So remember this whenever I caII
We go back too far, we been through it aII
Even though, we haven ’t spoken so Iong
Ain ’t nothing change, not a damn thing baby
(Jen)
Now my IoyaIty wiII aIways be
With you if you just promise me
That you ’II stay reaI just Iike you are
Cuz baby you don ’t have to change no…

(Fat Joe)
Like *something somethin*
This industry
Yeah my father made me this way
Get between me and J-Lo

(Jen)
So I don ’t care about the situation

If there ’s a compIication
Cuz everytime you had my back and aII
When we were young
And now you ’re Joey Crack and aII
(Jen)

Cuz baby you don ’t have to change because…
