[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 it she would always give me one of your grens 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 and every other guy in the block trying to get you wishing that they had that wrath to get with you felt you was out of my lead its like if you was silk and lennon then I was vertique 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 was so good (yeah) I don't never won't let you go (a-ha) can't see you with nobody else, (no) I just really had to let to 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 cuz I knew cats would do anything they could to stop us from being together its all good they was mad cuz 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 when niggas tried to say I wasn't hitting it right -Ya' They kept on hating just kept on waiting hoping that we brake 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 yourself 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 Yup and just leave you alone on the way
-No Way! When I hold you if the soul break I realize and recognize that you're my soulmate 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 try to amp you try to speak on your skillz 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 I'd been propaply turned into a fight I been through my faces with cats and shakes I know you seen me chillin' with fake players who tried to grab me in the club and dance with me on the stage and gaters they say you just hatin -your jealous of the money that they're makin Peeper stripper broads, thugs and gods and punks Cats would 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 to me just to shut they're 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 compete come on.
