(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 niggas 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 niggas 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 shit 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 |
|
niggas 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] |
