(Bb  F) for all lyric 
 
{Verse 1}  
 
{Jennifer:}  
Now you've been holding me down  
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 ya had my back  
(When they) Back when everybody said  
I wasn't anything  
It was you who had me holdin' on  
No matter what was goin' on  
So no whatever ya need I got you  
 
{Fat Joe:}  
Reminiscing that 6 train from way back  
Now its sky blue phantoms and stretch may backs  
Sweepin' them floors in them Bronx apartments  
Mira esta que on that red carpet  
With Pun died you was the first to call me  
I never told you but you was there for me  
Whatever you need, I'll be there for you  
Crack - I got ya back for real (True story)  
 
{Bridge}  
 
{Jennifer:}  
Now my loyalty, will always be  
With you, if you just promise me  
That you'll stay real just like you are  
'Cause baby you don't have to change (no)  
 
{Chorus}  
 
{Jennifer:}

{Verse 2}  
 
{Fat Joe:}  
2005 Rakim and Jody Watley  
Why'd she paint such a picture so perfect  
Quite possibly  
The real expression from BX  
To South Beach  
I'ma always hold you down, girl  
You can count on me  
 
{Jennifer:}  
So remember this whenever I call  
We go back too far  
We've been through it all  
Even though we haven't spoke  
In so long  
Ain't nothing has changed  
Not a damn thing, baby

{Verse 3}  
 
{Fat Joe:}  
Like green, it's the autumns  
Things will stay  
This industry, yeah, I fought  
Made me this way  
Get between me and J.Lo  
I simply stay  
You better off sweepin' leaves  
On a windy day (no)  
 
{Jennifer:}  
So I don't care about the situation  
I'ma ride for you if there's a complication  
Every time you had my back and all  
When we were young  
Now you Joe, we crackin' off  
 
{Bridge}  
 
{Jennifer:}  
Now my loyalty, will always be  
With you, if you just promise me  
That you'll stay real just like you are  
'Cause baby you don't have to change because

Boy, I'm gon' hold you down
