Hold Me Down

(album: The Messenger 4: Independents Day - 2020)

Yeah
Listen
We ain't kids no more
Don't let them have you out there messing up a good thing
If you got a good woman let it be known
Don't go giving your homeboys the loyalty she deserve
One hunnid (Bizzle)

We were taught, never to commit, never love a chick
Had a momma so I shoulda known better from the get
While we were sitting round soaking all that hood game up
All we ever learned is how to mess a good thing up
Running round talking bout, "It's bros over hoes though."
Okay
But what if she not one of those though
What if she do more for me than the homies put together
How you explain treating her like she don't though
Phone got cut off, she the one that threw in
Death in the family, she the one that flew in
Real talk, she been down longer than you've been
And she was here when I ain't have a gym to shoot in
If I flew in, 4AM, who's scooping
Every party you've been for me, who threw it?
How do you expect me to be loyal to you
And play her like now, disloyalty cool

All they ever taught us was to run it up
You can play with her but to stay with her, that's sucker stuff
You don't want nobody else loving her
If she worth it, then buckle down
I never meet anybody like her
So I had to go ahead and wife her
God willing Imma do right by her
So every now and then I remind her

That I love how she holds me down
I love how she holds me down
When you were nowhere to be found
I know that she held me down
You got a good thing don't play with it
You know that she the one gon' stay with it
You got a good thing don't play with it
You know that she the one gon' stay with it
If you know that she hold you down

Guess I'm a grown man now, so I feel different
Plus I'm a man of God, my version of real different
You still Will Smith-in
I'm tryna Phil Banks out here
And I ain't really with the Aunt Viv switching
Watch for the hypocrites and frauds that you kick it with
They'll have you dogging the realest chick
Feeling like a boss cause you did it or you soft for committing
But they stick around for them same qualities in you
I'm a real one, ain't no fake me that women get
You and her get the same me that's how real it is
Real talk, if I was you, I wouldn't trust me
If I could do her so wrong knowing she love me
Every dream that came true, she helped birth that
Everything I got, her too, she earned that
You ever play chess
Then running around treating your queen like she a pawn ain't never made sense

All they ever taught us was to run it up
You can play with her but to stay with her, that's sucker stuff
You don't want nobody else loving her
If she worth it, then buckle down
I never meet anybody like her
So I had to go ahead and wife her
God willing Imma do right by her
So every now and then I remind her

That I love how she holds me down
I love how she holds me down
When you were nowhere to be found
I know that she held me down
You got a good thing don't play with it
You know that she the one gon' stay with it
You got a good thing don't play with it
You know that she the one gon' stay with it
If you know that she hold you down

Real talk fellas
If we can't commit to our women we can't commit to our families
And if we can't commit to our families, then we've already committed to chaos
For me it started with a commitment to God tho
And I ain't saying I got it right
But I'm committed to getting it right
One hunnid
