Lyrics
Yeah
Expression of affirmation or agreement
Remember when I used to hold it down
Nostalgic reference to a past time when the singer provided support or stability
Remember when I used to hold it down
Reiteration of the previous line, emphasizing the act of support or loyalty
Remember when I used to hold it
Recalling the past action of offering support or holding firm
Down for you, down for you
Reinforcing the commitment to support someone, staying loyal
Yeah
Another affirmation or agreement
Please explain how I'm the bad guy
Questioning how the singer is seen negatively despite trying to protect the listener from harm
When all I ever did was try to save you from the bad guys
Asserting efforts to safeguard the listener from trouble or danger
All I did was try to take you from the bad times
Stating the intention of providing support during difficult times
I see you going back to church, it must be bad times
Observation of the listener seeking solace in religion during tough situations
I used to swim all in your waters, I was baptized
Metaphorical reference to being deeply involved with the listener, like a religious experience
Never thought that time I'd kiss you be the last time
Expressing surprise at an unexpected final moment shared with the listener
Never thought that you'd be boo'd up with the last guy
Surprise and disappointment at the listener being romantically involved with someone else
You always used to tell me you wouldn't even talk to him
Recollection of the listener's prior commitment to not engage with the current romantic interest
If he was the last guy, I'm anti but
Self-identifying as against something but acknowledging the inevitability of circumstances
I guess that's how that shit goes
Acceptance of the situation without dwelling on it, opting to focus on personal growth
I ain't gon' dwell on it, I'd rather go and conquer new goals
Preference for moving forward and achieving new objectives instead of seeking revenge
And I don't believe in taking vengeance but
Disbelief in retaliatory actions, believing success is the best response
Success is a version, so the next time you eat
Success is considered the best form of retribution, impacting the listener's experience
That dish will definitely be cold, I mean
Implies a detachment from emotional involvement with the listener's future experiences
Whew, Yeah
Exclamation reflecting on the singer's feelings or thoughts
And as for Verum, boy he definitely cold
Self-reference by the singer, indicating their own emotional detachment
When I drop every single word'll rest in they souls
Confidence in the impact of the singer's words on others' souls
They say it come when you the best, I suppose
Recognition that success comes when one performs at their best
But that's just how I hold it down
Reaffirmation of the commitment to support or hold firm
That's just how I hold it down
Reiteration of the commitment to support or hold firm
That's just how I hold it
Restating the commitment to support or hold firm
Down for you, down for you
Reaffirming loyalty and support towards the listener
Yeah
Expression of affirmation or agreement
Yeah
Repetition of previous sentiments expressing unwavering love, commitment, and nostalgia
Mmmmm
-Yeah
-Maybe we ain't two separate people at all
-Just two sides of the same face
-In your presence I feel aliver than
-All of these words could state
-Got the salt still on my lips
-When I kissed your heavenly face
-As those tears etched out a path to the ground
-The memories erased
-And I tasted your passion vivid
-The hair on my arms was up
-And the time on the clock had frozen
-The world around us had stuck
-In that moment I knew that life had a meaning and this was it
-No matter where the journey takes us from here
-Just know I'll always hold it down
-Imma always hold it down
-Imma always hold it
-Down for you, down for you
-Yeah
-Imma always hold it down
-Imma always hold it down
-Baby
-You know that Imma always hold it
-Down for you, down for you
-Yeah
-I just can't stop loving you
Continued expression of unending love despite difficulties and scars
No matter how these scars just tend to grow
-And even if you pull me down to fall with you
-I promise I won't ever let you go
-I just can't stop loving you
-No matter how these scars just tend to grow
-And even if you pull me down to fall with you
-I promise I won't ever let you go
-Remember when I used to hold it down
Reiteration of nostalgia and commitment to holding firm or supporting the listener
Remember when I used to hold it down
-Remember when I used to hold it
-Down for you, down for you
-Remember when I used to hold it down
-Remember when I used to hold it down
