Hold U

(It's the way I hold you) [x7]

[Masta Ace]

I will never forget the day that we first met

I wasn't even feelin you then but worse yet

I was all up in the mix with one of your friends

and when you seen us you would always give me one of your grins

like if I only knew what I was missin

I would quit kissing on this chick and change my position

I really thought you and my man was a better match

I never thought you was the type that I could catch

I used to see you out in the park with different cats

them big willie types that rocked them pimp hats

had every other guy on the block trying to get you

wishing that they had that rap to get with you

felt you was out of my league

its like if you was silk and linen then I was fatigue

I never would have pictured you and me together

but its like the way I hold you we was meant to be together

come on.

[Chorus]

(It's the way I hold you) [x8]

The way I hold you it feels so good (yeah)

I don't ever wanna let you go(a-ha)

can't see you with nobody else, (no)

I just really had to let you know,(yeah)

It's the way I hold you

It's the way I hold you

It's the way I hold you

[Masta Ace]

Now I spend most of my time just being with you

early on I was afraid to be seen with you

Cause I knew cats would do anything they could

to stop us from being together, its all good

they was mad cause I got you and they didn't

some even tried to approach me I'm not kidding

had to be ten times I got into a fight

with ****** tried to say I wasn't hitting it right -

They kept on hating just kept on waiting

hoping that we'd break up but we kept dating

never knew it would be so hard to be with you

I should make it easy on my self and just quit you.

(Make it easy on myself) [x2]

I need to make it easy on my self

Yup, I need to make it easy on my self

Yup, I need to make it easy on my self

and just leave you alone

No Wait! When I hold you if feels so great

I realize and recognize that you're my soul mate

Its us forever had to let you know

its like I told you imma hold you never let you go

come on.

[Chorus]

[Jean Grae]

One-Two check it

you should have known from way back I tried to amp you

try to speak on your skills when other ****** felt me

but you know that if you wasn't with me they can't even hear you right

and if you try to snatch me up it'd probably turn into a fight

I been through my phases with cats and chicks

I know you seen me chillin' with fake players

who tried to grab me in the club and dance with me on the stage in gators

they say you just hatin

-you jealous of the money that they're makin

Peep the stripper broads, thugs and gods and punks

Cats who front, get me high with all the smoke from the blunts

its not love its just lust

they always put me down when **** gets rough,

I can't do it alone, I need someone to hold me right tell me their feelings

speak on us to they boys, that's why we dealin

****** startin rumors like we ain't chilling or split up

when you've been writing poems for me just to shut they lip up

and there's still cats who try to touch me when they spot me alone

try to tap me just to see if im turned on

but it's the way you speak to me

its like we on the same frequency

and when you hold me, you make peak

come on

[Chorus]
