lyrics

Pre-Chorus 2X
Moment that I seen that girl
Everything I need that girl
Ain’t a chick that can beat that girl
Now I’m tryn’a be with her

Verse 1
Met her back in college
Both of us were freshmen
I can’t front
I was checking for your best friend
No kissin or sexin,
Merely being social
Moment that you spoke
Your best friend was old news
Confident and tempting
Blessed with them curves too
Said that you love hard
So fuck around I’ll murk you
Independent bad girl
Looking for a partner
Many dudes tried
You didn’t want a sponsor
Asked what you taking
Said education
Loved kids
And hoped to shape a nation
Glanced at your syllabus
Ain’t met a girl as real as this
Stimulate me mentally
But you prolly figure its
Your ass that attracts me
Lying if I said no
Lips so soft
Can’t help but to get close
First time for everything
Maybe my first love
Long as you hold me down
Never be in search of

Chorus 2X
Look what I found
I never felt love, she holdin’ me down
Anytime I need you, you be around
She’s holdin’ me down, she’s holdin’ me down
She’s holdin’ me down

Verse 2
Three months into dating
And your heart is my home and
Nights we don’t study
We spend hours on phones damn
Talking sports and politics
Put you onto new jams
Beast in the kitchen
Spoiling me with your food, can’t
Picture life without you
I’d like to
Dedicate my life to
Ultimately wife you
My kiss, my bond to
Never hurt you
Should I have concerns boo
Know you’ll be the first to
Know how my heart feels
Words go a long way
Steered by your drive babe
So I offer strong praise
Notice the little things
New hair or outfit
Scents that you love most
How you like your lips kissed
How you like’m licked
How you like to be touched
How you wanna be held
Right after a good cut
First time for everything
Maybe my first love
Long as you hold me down
Never be in search of

Chorus 2X
Look what I found
I never felt love, she holdin’ me down
Anytime I need you, you be around
She’s holdin’ me down, she’s holdin’ me down
She’s holdin’ me down

Verse 3
Graduated college
And we got ourselves a place, uhh
Not what we wanted
But affordable and spacious
Money is tight
But at least we got us though
Cheque to cheque
And we just over broke yo
Tryna be a power cup
Goals to empower us
Never do we power trip
Argue bout control of
Yes I know its been tough
But we gotta focus us
Build on our strengths to
Tackle what oppose us
Can’t buy you finer things
So I budget time to spend
Money can’t buy love
So I pay attention
Ride like you sposed to
Catch me in shortfall
No chick compare to
Rest assured your all
I need in my lifetime
You’re my lifeline
Even my boys say
It’s high time
First time for everything
Maybe my first love
Long as you hold me down
Never be in search of

Chorus 4X
Look what I found
I never felt love, she holdin’ me down
Anytime I need you, you be around
She’s holdin’ me down, she’s holdin’ me down
She’s holdin’ me down
