Hold U Down
Jadakiss · I Love You: A Dedication To My Fans [2011]
ah, yeah, yo, lot of square feet chopping speed is the minimum
talk all subliminal in love with a criminal
it's all coming back to the pop no chemicals
she can get high on the spot no interviews
no carbs, just vitamins, mineral
riding shotgun in the coop with the general
you go hard for the kids so i'm into you
yeah, hold you down, that's what i'm ...do
no girls are right, like you do for me baby
that's why i hold you down, that's why i hold you down
girls don't decide and got i need baby, that's why i hold you down
that's why i hold you down
yo, cash coming rapidly, chicks coming after me
there cause i wanna be not cause i have to be
you the one i wanna be with my actions
i knew you were special cause we hit it off naturally
had your guards off at first now you're attached to me
gotta give you all of me, can't give you half of me
you take your time girl, we gonna move carefully
a hot bath water, the meals you prepare for me
when nobody was, you were always there for me
and i love myself just need you to care for me
you got more than enough, i owe you now
so it's only right that i hold you down
no girls are right, like you do for me baby
that's why i hold you down, that's why i hold you down
girls don't decide and got i need baby, that's why i hold you down
that's why i hold you down
i say damn it i let this one get away
she's what i'm wanting and no comparing to you girl
i never ... your heart, concealing games, no need for looking
cause there none that hurt you girl
hey girl, ... it's lame trying to play with you,
i'm trying to stay with you
yo know what i mean? stay forever and a day with you
never mind them side chicks and made issue
they ain't nothing but bad luck the day was you
they ain't about them knowing about the 2 of us
they can't stand to see us doing us
and i told you this is what i go through
but words can't explain it so that's why now i gotta hold you
no girls are right, like you do for me baby
that's why i hold you down, that's why i hold you down
girls don't decide and got i need baby, that's why i hold you down
that's why i hold you down
you in good hands, we gonna be high, haha, i love you, muah.
