Hold It Down For My Brother

Verse 1
We came up from the same place, same pain
Late nights talkin’ in the cold and the rain
You were there when I was losin’ my way
Never left, you always stayed
Seen me at my worst, never judged my soul
Picked me up when I was outta control
That’s a bond that nobody can break
Yeah, that’s family we made

Pre-Chorus
Through the highs and the lows, we stood side by side
You never walked away from me
And I swear on my life, I’ll be right here the same
Ain’t a thing gonna change

Chorus
I’ma hold it down for you, my brother
Ride or die, yeah we got each other
Through the storm, through the pressure, through the pain
I got your back, forever, never change
And I’m proud of the man you’re becomin’
You deserve all the love that is comin’
She sees you for you, yeah that’s real
And I’m grateful you finally feel

Verse 2
We done been through the fire and the fights
Still we stand, yeah we made it out right
Every scar got a story to tell
But we wore it so well
Ain’t just friends, nah you blood in my eyes
Different paths but we walkin’ one life
If you fall then I’m right there again
Till the very end

Pre-Chorus
Through the highs and the lows, we stood side by side
You never walked away from me
And I swear on my life, I’ll be right here the same
Ain’t a thing gonna change

Chorus
I’ma hold it down for you, my brother
Ride or die, yeah we got each other
Through the storm, through the pressure, through the pain
I got your back, forever, never change
And I’m proud of the man you’re becomin’
You deserve all the love that is comin’
She sees you for you, yeah that’s real
And I’m grateful you finally feel

Bridge (soft, emotional)
If the world turns dark and you lose your light
I’ll be right there, standin’ by your side
You ain’t ever gotta walk alone
You got a place in my home
And I thank God for a brother like you
For the love that’s real and the things we’ve been through
Till my last breath, yeah I promise this
It’s forever like this

Final Chorus (bigger, harmonies)
I’ma hold it down for you, my brother
Ride or die, yeah we got each other
Through the storm, through the pressure, through the pain
I got your back, forever, never change
Yeah I’m proud of the man you’re becomin’
You deserve all the love that is comin’
From the struggle to the life you build
Yeah, I’m proud of you still

Outro (soft, heartfelt)
No matter what… I got you
Always, my brother
Through everything
Forever we stand
