I been locked up, hanging out with the wrong crowdIn the streets, only thing that I know howDon't really know why you put up with meAll these years, I've been chasing this dreamOut of work, hard times, stress on my mindNot to mention, all the times that I made you cryYou always said I would make it one dayAnd now I'm so glad I get the chance to sayYou believed in me baby, you deserve that MercedesIt don't matter what the cost, you get anything you wantDon't you worry 'bout nothing, nothingCause you give me all the love that I needYou been here from the startAnd I appreciate the woman that you areThe only girl with keys to my heartI wouldn't be the man that I am without ya(So this is something that I gotta say)Thanks for holding me down, down, down (Down)Down, down, downThanks for holding me down, down, down (Down)Down, down, downThanks for holding me downI been locked up, shipped out, kicked when I'm downLaughed at, played out, like I'm some clownTime goes past, more than a little bitDidn't phase you, not even a little bit (I know, I know)The things I put you through (I know, I know)The things that you would do, for meYou're my guaranteeYou believed in me baby, you deserve that MercedesIt don't matter what the cost, you get anything you wantDon't you worry 'bout nothing, nothingCause you give me all the love that I needYou been here from the startAnd I appreciate the woman that you areThe only girl with keys to my heartI wouldn't be the man that I am without ya(So this is something that I gotta say)Thanks for holding me down, down, down (Down)Down, down, downThanks for holding me down, down, down (Down)Down, down, downThanks for holding me downWhat you see in me nobody else could seeEven when I had no faith in where we'd beStayed down, like old flat tiresDefinition of a riderWould do it again if you had toAnd that's why I love yaYou been here from the startAnd I appreciate the woman that you areThe only girl with keys to my heartI wouldn't be the man that I am without ya(So this is something that I gotta say)Thanks for holding me down, down, down (Down)Down, down, downThanks for holding me down, down, down (Down)Down, down, downThanks for holding me down
