Hold, hold youLet me hold youWanna hold, hold youLet me hold youHold, hold you (Let me, let me, let me)Pull off and I always hit 'emHe actin' like I ain't always with himMy heart sayin' I love him whileI'm screamin' that I hate himAnd ain't no more debatin', this time, it's a ultimatumI never forgot where I was at the first day I met himYeah, it was love at first sightBut I ain't never sweat himI knew if it was meant to be that one day I would let himTwenty years later them decisions, I don't regret themJust wish you would give me space when I really need itTo be alone in my zone when I'm really heatedJust 'cause I am quiet, don't mean you're defeatedWish you ain't need me to feel like you're completedDon't wanna say somethin' mean when I don't mean itMillion missed calls, I don't wanna talkJust did a detox, now I wanna sparI wrote a line for you and it was beautifulI made a sign for you to say you're beautifulYou're so, so irresistibleTake me to somewhere mysticalYou're soDo you know?For you, I promise I'll tryFor you, I promise I'll tryFor you, I promise I'll tryUh, havin' her ain't for the faint of heartShe bad as fuck but hard to deal withAnd it ain't her faultShe got ambition like the niggas, and the vision for herselfSo she can't rest until she feel like she done made her markSo if you love her, then you gotta learn to play your partSometimes you gotta play the backBut when you do, make sure you play it smartAll these niggas want her, so they hatin' hardThey talkin' slick and make you wanna pull a rated-RYou like her, love her like a brotherLike her manager, an A&RPlus a therapist when it start rainin' hardHer life was trauma filled, it left her with a tainted heartYet you the nigga that she wanna tat her name acrossBut you need patience and a lot of extra faith from GodTo keep the family together at a timeWhen it's so regular to break apartSo God forbid, y'all got a kidTherefore, I hate the thoughtIt's you and her against the worldUntil there ain't no more breath in your lungsI'm just a messenger, but God is who this message is fromI wanna send you my respect because I rep for the onesThat hold they wifey downDespite all of the extras that comeWord to Willy Smith, these silly niggas heckle and shunAs if they life is somehow perfectAnd they never been plungedInto a dark place, so I can't respect when it's doneIt's family first through the worstComin' second to none, for realI wrote a line for you and it was beautifulI made a sign for you to say you're beautifulYou're so, so irresistibleTake me to somewhere mysticalYou're soFor you, knowFor you, I promise I'll try
