Hold you down

Intro (soft, breathy)

Yeah — mm, baby

You know I’m yours, huh

Verse 1

Late nights, city lights, you right here in my arms

Whispers on your neck, I’m tryna calm all your storms

You been through the fire, seen the cold and the lies

But when I kiss you, girl, it’s like the sun meet the sky

Promise on my mama, on my kin, on my name

I’ma hold you steady, steady through the pain

When the world turn its back, I’ma be your lane

Ride slow with me, baby, I’ma keep you safe

Pre-Chorus

Tell me your secrets, I’ll keep ’em locked away (yeah)

Every little heartbreak, I’ll heal it, babe (uh)

Chorus (melodic hook)

I’ma hold you down, baby — through the rain and the drought

I’ma hold you down, baby — no question, no doubt (no doubt)

When the nights get cold and the lights go out

I’ma hold you down, baby — that’s what I’m about (that’s right)

I’ma hold you down, baby — forever, not for now

Verse 2

We count our blessings over candlelight and wine

You call me your lover, I call you mine, every time

Baby, you deserve diamonds, trips, and better things

But I’ll give you loyalty, rings, and new beginnings

When them demons come creepin’, I’ma stand in front

Shield your smile, take the blows, hide the scars that stunt

A real man for a real queen, I swear I’m done runnin’

Put your trust in me, girl, watch the world start sunning

Pre-Chorus (soft ad-libs)

You don’t gotta worry, I got you (I got you)

I’ll be your shelter when the storm come through (oh)

Chorus (soaring)

I’ma hold you down, baby — through the rain and the drought

I’ma hold you down, baby — no question, no doubt

When the nights get cold and the lights go out

I’ma hold you down, baby — that’s what I’m about

I’ma hold you down, baby — forever, not for now

Bridge (vocal runs, intimate)

Lean on me when your heart feel heavy (heavy)

I’ll carry you through the nights, through the levee (whoa)

No fake love, no games, just me and you steady (steady)

Built for us, built for life — girl, we ready

Breakdown (whispered)

Hold me closer, tell me you believe (tell me)

I’ma give you everything you need

Final Chorus (layered harmonies)

I’ma hold you down, baby — through the rain and the drought (hold you)

I’ma hold you down, baby — no question, no doubt (no doubt)

When the nights get cold and the lights go out

I’ma hold you down, baby — that’s what I’m about

I’ma hold you down, baby — forever, not for now (forever)

Outro (tender)

Stay with me, love — we’ll build a home from this sound

I promise, baby, I’ma always hold you down

Porque music

See you when I see you
