Yeah
Shakespeare, baby, what it like?
Yo-Yo's in the house
I ain't a desperate housewife lookin' for sex in the city
Buy you whatever you want, and when you ain't with me
Ain't no explorin' around, I'm holdin' it down
I'm a faithful woman that's fearless now
It ain't about the setback, it's all about the get back
Independent woman, yeah, gotta respect that
And I ain't gon' order restraint
Slash your tires and key up your paint
'Cause that'll be a waste of time
I'm too over the top and boss for mine
Lookin' for a black pearl that's hard to find
'Cause the bodies don't match the mind
Start off strong then lose they grind
Great look but can't cook, it's a waste of time
There's a thin line 'tween love and hate
Sugar be game from the first date
You should know I'm gonna be the one to hold you down
'Cause that's what love's about
Haven't I been more than enough for you to settle down?
I'll always hold you down
He say, "Yo-Yo, you doin' too much"
Master Melrose, shut down Von Dutch
Max out the Air Max, have to match the Air Max
Independently movin' units, top that
Drop top Porsche with the rims all black
760 V12, but he drive that
I'm the breadwinner, but I got his back
It's a 50/50 love thang and we all that
The reason why I cop this, he bought that
Build a house in the hood, big pool in the back
No more platinum, slide in black
Mahogany wood grain, TV's flat
And he still make my heart flutter
Far from a sucker, gangsta than a motherfucker
Top back, cruisin' up the coastline
Don't take all day to recognize sunshine
You should know I'm gonna be the one to hold you down
'Cause that's what love's about
Haven't I been more than enough for you to settle down?
I'll always hold you down
I'll pay your rent, I'll buy your clothes
I'll even cook your dinner too
As soon as five come and all the work done
Can't wait to rush straight back to you
But if I come home early and catch him with Shirley
I'ma flip, be real ladylike and help you pack your shit
But I ain't gotta trip 'cause everything is going steady
I'm usually too much sugar for diabetics
I ain't gon' let it, so y'all can all forget it
Cruisin' up Crenshaw in a ragtop Chevy
Stick together, in God we trust
It's like ashes to ashes and dust to dust
You should know I'm gonna be the one to hold you down
'Cause that's what love's about
Haven't I been more than enough for you to settle down?
I'll always hold you down
All my independent women, stand up, throw your hands up
If you hold your mans up and get them grands up
It's a 50/50 love thang and we all that
While you're out there gettin' paper, I got your back
From the front to the back, stand up, throw your hands up
If you hold your mans up and get them grands up
I'm a West Coast diva, tell 'em follow the leader
Catch me on a billboard movin' like a heat seeker
Yeah, Shakespeare, baby, what it like?
Yeah, look back at it
Uh, yeah, what it like?
For all my intelligent black women out there
Yeah, yeah, yeah, come on
Look back at it, what it like?
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, I see you, baby
Yeah, look back at it, what it like?
You should know I'm gonna be the one to hold you down
'Cause that's what love's about
Haven't I been more than enough for you to settle down?
I'll always hold you down
You should know I'm gonna be the one to hold you down
'Cause that's what love's about
Haven't I been more than enough for you to settle down?
I'll always hold you down
Hold 'em down, hold 'em down, yeah
What it like?
Yeah
