Hold Me Down

All I want what's best for you
Right now I think that's me
I would kiss the ground you tread
This is what you mean to me
I been goin in circles all across the globe
But you were right here in my area code
I guess it makes sense cause I love my home
Got the best of the best so my heart is sold
You are, the one, I'm loving like my city
So grab ya girl and sing this song with me

Forever I'll love you
Like I love my city
Forever hold me down
Future past and now

Forever I'll love you
Like I love my city
Forever hold me down
Future past and now

Now, hold me down
Hold me down love

Hold me down
Hold me down love

Hold me down
Hold me down like

Oh, Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh

Hold me down love
Hold me down love

Like relationships
Sometimes we'll fall apart
But you will always, always have my heart
Oh the joy and the pain
These avenues have changed
Even when you push, I am here to stay
Forever, at least here in my heart
I am half, of the whole, in this art
Masterpiece, that's what you are to me
It's my privilege, so to you I sing

Forever I'll love you
Like I love my city
Forever hold me down
Future past and now

Forever I'll love you
Like I love my city
Forever hold me down
Future past and now

Relationships a whiplash
Hit cha like an airbag
Even with ya seat belt
Have ya on the front dash
So I drive slow homie
Like there's a baby on board
There is but she's grown
My baby I adore
Like I love my city
Though she's so complex
Got the hustlers and the hipsters in the same duplex
With the homeless on the corner sitting on the church steps
She's still holding me down
My city I respect
What up north Oakland? New International
East to the West side music is the Capital
Music is my capital, but ever since the gentrify
I been playing the Blues or he been playing you and I
Good thing this a Love Jones
Make ya wanna testify
Even when its bad, Amen, we gone rectify
Love don't always make sense
But we gone surely make due
I can only make me, but came to inspire you

Forever I'll love you
Like I love my city
Like I love
Forever hold me down
Future past and now
Future past and now

Forever I'll love you
Like I love my city
Forever hold me down
Future past and now

Hold me down like
Forever I'll love you
Like I love my city
Hold me down love
Forever hold me down
Future past and now

Hold me down like
Forever I'll love you
Like I love my city
Hold me down love
Forever hold me down
Future past and now
