Now you've been holding me down
For such a long time now
From back then
To now in my story
Straight from the hood
You've always been there for me
And ya had my back
(When they) Back when everybody said
I wasn't anything
It was you who had me holdin' on
No matter what was goin' on
So no whatever ya need I got you

Reminiscing that 6 train from way back
Now its sky blue phantoms and stretch may backs
Sweepin' them floors in them Bronx apartments
Mira esta que on that red carpet
With Pun died you was the first to call me
I never told you but you was there for me
Whatever you need, I'll be there for you
Crack - I got ya back for real (True story)

Now my loyalty, will always be
With you, if you just promise me
That you'll stay real just like you are
'Cause baby you don't have to change (no)

refrain:
You don't know how much you mean to me
Whenever you down
You know that you can lean on me
No matter the situation
Boy, I'm gon' hold you down

You don't know how much you mean to me
Whenever you down
You know that you can lean on me
No matter the situation
Girl, I'm gon' hold you down

2005 Rakim and Jody Watley
Why'd she paint such a picture so perfect
Quite possibly
The real expression from BX
To South Beach
I'ma always hold you down, girl
You can count on me

So remember this whenever I call
We go back too far
We've been through it all
Even though we haven't spoke
In so long
Ain't nothing has changed
Not a damn thing, baby

Now my loyalty, will always be
With you, if you just promise me
That you'll stay real just like you are
'Cause baby you don't have to change because

refrain

You don't know how much you mean to me
Whenever you down
You know that you can lean on me
No matter the situation
Girl, I'm gon' hold you down

Like green, it's the autumns
Things will stay
This industry, yeah, I fought
Made me this way
Get between me and J.Lo
I simply stay
You better off sweepin' leaves
On a windy day (no)

So I don't care about the situation
I'ma ride for you if there's a complication
Every time you had my back and all
When we were young
Now you Joe, we crackin' off

Now my loyalty, will always be
With you, if you just promise me
That you'll stay real just like you are
'Cause baby you don't have to change because

refrain

You don't know how much you mean to me
Whenever you down
You know that you can lean on me
No matter the situation
Girl, I'm gon' hold you down

You know that you can lean on me
No matter the situation

I'm not the kind of girl to sit out on sidelines
The kind of girl who doesn't say it straight from her mind
You're gonna know all that I'm feeling on the inside
I ain't into games, I don't wanna waste
Any time and all the energy we could spend
Being together boy forever you're my best friend
Got a little problem that I can't mend
You been taking me for granted you

I don't wanna walk away from what we have, and you know it
I'm not telling you all of this to make you mad
It's not about who's right or wrong
It's not about who's weak or strong
It's about what I need to make this last

A little more time, a little less wait
A little more heart, a little less break
Simple and true, what they say
A little bit goes a long way
A little less talk, a little more do
A little more me, a little less you
Baby at the end of the day
A little bit goes a long way

I need your heart
I need your love

Don't wanna end up in a tricky situation
So I'm giving you my every indication
We can work it out together stop the tension
Try to understand, baby where I stand
I love you and I'm trying to be gentle
So let me break it down for you and make it simple
I gave my heart and soul to you now it's essential
That you show a little love for me

I don't wanna walk away or let you go, and you know it
I'm not telling you all of this to make you sad
It's not about the tears we cry
It's about how hard we try
To give a little more and see the other side

A little more time, a little less wait
A little more heart, a little less break
Simple and true, what they say
A little bit goes a long way
A little less talk, a little more do
A little more me, a little less you
Baby at the end of the day
A little bit goes a long way

And it hurts me, 'cause I care and I'm telling you why
I'm unhappy so if you love me
A little bit is not that much to ask to make things right
Oh yeah, oh yeah, a little bit goes a long, long way

A little more time, a little less wait
A little more heart, a little less break
Simple and true, what they say
A little bit goes a long way
A little less talk, a little more do
A little more me, a little less you
Baby at the end of the day
A little bit goes a long way (2x)

                                                                     諸葛亮



先帝創業未半，而中道崩殂。今天下三分，益州疲弊，此誠危急存亡之秋也。然侍衛之臣不懈於內，忠志之士忘身於外者，蓋追先帝之殊遇，欲報之於陛下也。誠宜開張聖聽，以光先帝遺德，恢弘志士之氣；不宜妄自菲薄，引喻失義，以塞忠諫之路也。



官中、府中，俱為一體，陟罰臧否，不宜異同。若有作奸犯科及為忠善者，宜付有司，論其刑賞，以昭陛下平明之理，不宜偏私，使內外異法也。



侍中、侍郎郭攸之、費禕、董允等，此皆良實，志慮忠純，是以先帝簡拔以遺陛下。愚以為官中之事，事無大小，悉以咨之，然後施行，必能裨補闕漏，有所廣益。



將軍向寵，性行淑均，曉暢軍事，試用於昔日，先帝稱之曰能，是以眾議舉寵為督。愚以為營中之事，悉以咨之，必能使行陣和睦，優劣得所。



親賢臣，遠小人，此先漢所以興隆也；親小人，遠賢臣，此後漢所以傾頹也。先帝在時，每與臣論此事，未嘗不歎息痛恨於桓、靈也。侍中、尚書、長史、參軍，此悉貞良死節之臣，願陛下親之信之，則漢室之隆，可計日而待也。



臣本布衣，躬耕於南陽，苟全性命於亂世，不求聞達於諸侯。先帝不以臣卑鄙，猥自枉屈，三顧臣於草廬之中，諮臣以當世之事，由是感激，遂許先帝以驅馳。後值傾覆，受任於敗軍之際，奉命於危難之間，爾來二十有一年矣。先帝知臣謹慎，故臨崩寄臣以大事也。受命以來，夙夜憂勤，恐託付不效，以傷先帝之明，故五月渡瀘，深入不毛。今南方已定，兵甲已足，當獎率三軍，北定中原，庶竭駑鈍，攘除姦凶，興復漢室，還於舊都。此臣所以報先帝而忠陛下之職分也。至於斟酌損益，進盡忠言，則攸之、禕、允之任也。



願陛下託臣以討賊興復之效；不效，則治臣之罪，以告先帝之靈。若無興德之言，則責攸之、禕、允等之慢，以彰其咎。陛下亦宜自謀，以諮諏善道，察納雅言，深追先帝遺詔。臣不勝受恩感激。今當遠離，臨表涕泣，不知所云。

Children growing, women producing
Men go work, and some go stealing
Everyone's got to make a living

L-O-X... J.Lo...
Yea, yea, yo, yo
We off the blocks this year
Went from a 'lil to a lot this year
Everybody mad at the rocks that I wear
I know where I'm goin' and I know where I'm from
You hear LOX in your ear
Yea we're at the airport out
D-Glock from the block where everybody air-forced out
With a new white Tee you fresh, nothin' phoney with us
Make the money, get the mansion, bring the homies with us

refrain:
Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still - I'm still Jenny from the block
Used to have a little now I have a lot
No matter where I go I know I came from (the Bronx!)

From "In Livin' Color" to movie scripts
To "On the 6" to "J.Lo" to this
Headline scripts
I stay grounded as the amounts roll in
I'm real I thought I told ya (I'm Real)
I'm really been on Oprah
That's just me
Nothin' phony don't hate on me
What you get is what you see, oh

refrain (2x)

I'm down to earth like this
Rockin' this business
I've grown up so much
I'm in control and lovin it
Rumors got me laughin' kid
I love my life and my public
Put God first And can't forget to stay real
To me it's like breathing, yeahh

refrain2

Yo, it take hard work to cash checks
So don't be fooled by the rocks that I got they're assets
You get back what you put out
If even if you take the good route
Can't count the hood out
After a while you'll know who to blend with
Just keep it real with the ones came in with
Best thing is to stay low, LOX and J.Lo
(Everyone's got to make a livin')

refrain (2x)
