J. Cole
Hold Me Down (feat. ENOXH)

[Intro: T$ADIK]
Yeah

[Verse 1: T$ADIK]
I get up—
Instead of thinking 'bout the dough and bands
I started wondering if my shorty ever understands
The love I had for her was real, now I live my only fear:
That we fell apart and you didn’t shed a tear
But this is everything I didn’t want. Who can say?
I think I messed up our relationship—how I played
This little game that life throws every once in a while
You either learn to play, or get thrown into the fire
I’ve failed at this game, but babe, can I still admire
All the times I had with you? I cry, but only for a little while—
'Cause I loved you. And now I’m making love songs?
When the hell did T$ADIK start writing love songs?
I guess this shorty turned me into my Trey Songz timing
But I’m still on my J. Cole rhyming
Man, this shorty so fine—if you looked her up online
It'd probably say she got that lil’ A+ body
But she ain’t thinking of T$ADIK —baby girl
I hope the man you're with gon' treat you like you're God’s baby girl
And this is not a song to say "stay with me now"
But if you ever get my chance, I’ma tell you: "Hold me down"
[Chorus 1: T$ADIK]
Hold me down—if you need to holla and you
Don’t hesitate to call, it ain’t a problem
I can be there, I’ll ride for you, lie for you (Yeah)
I know you’d do the same, I could cry for you
So hold me down
And when the times get hard, I’ll be around
Yeah, so hold me down
And it don’t matter how far—I’ll be around (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, I’ll hold it down

[Verse 2: ENOXH]
Now these n***as don’t give a fuck about you
Not your fault, boo, just don’t know what to tell you
Or if I should even tell you, don’t be a fool
No need to be rude, just tryna love you, like crazy
You got me feeling, Purple Hazy
You my Apollonia, I’m Prince, Purple Rainy
Why you friendzone me like how Tyla did KC?
Walked past, it’s like you can’t even see me
Pink Sprayground—no one can rock it like you do or you did
I know we not stupid—not 'cause we just kids
This ain’t no puppy love shit
As a memory, you wanna shelf
Quiet dreams you gotta keep to yourself
As a memory, you wanna shelf
I need you right now, my darling
[Chorus 2: T$ADIK]
Hold me down—if you need to holla and you
Don’t hesitate to call, it ain’t a problem
I'ma be there, I’ll ride for you, lie for you (Yeah)
And I know you’d do the same, I would cry for you
So hold me down
And when the times are hard, I’ll be around
Yeah, so hold me down
And it don’t matter how far—I’ll be around (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, so hold me down

[Verse 3: T$ADIK]
Baby, hold me down if you need anything
Wrote this on a plane, so you know my feelings ain’t changed
I’ll stay the same—always. Never forget
These other dudes are in line, but they’ll never get—
And yes, I’m the type of guy to be highly obsessed
You might think it’s crazy if I tell you I tend
To fantasize about wifing you—two kids, a crib, and loving you
But instead, we had a breakup, and I was always fighting you, damn
You understand now?
The love I had for you was too high to smoke out
And now you’re stuck in my mind—it ain’t obsession
But there’s one exception. If you understand this confession
And the little words I’m spitting now
Then shoot a little text and tell me that you'll hold me down
[Chorus 3: T$ADIK]
Hold me down—if you need to holla and you
Don’t hesitate to call, it ain’t a problem
I can be there, I’ll ride for you, lie for you (Yeah)
And I know you’d do the same—I would cry for you
So hold me down

[Post-Chorus: T$ADIK]
You ain’t gotta call my line—I’m just a number nine
A dime - Like a nine-to-five
So hold me down
You could try another guy
But just know, in the back of my mind—
You are still divine
So hold me down
