Ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah

I been locked up, hanging out with the wrong crowd

In the streets, only thing that I know how

Really don't know why you put up with me

All these years, I've been chasing this dream

Out of work, hard times, stress on my mind

Not to mention, all the times that I made you cry

You always said I would make it one day

And now I'm so glad I get the chance to say

You believed in me baby, you deserve that Mercedes

It don't matter what the cost, you get anything you want

Don't you worry 'bout nothing, nothing

Cause you give me all the love that I need

You been here from the start

And I appreciate the woman that you are

The only girl with keys to my heart

I wouldn't be the man that I am without ya

(So this is something that I gotta say)

Thanks for holding me down, down, down (down)

Down, down, down

Thanks for holding me down, down, down (down)

Down, down, down

Thanks for holding me down

I been locked up, shipped out, kicked when I'm down

Laughed at, played out, like I'm some clown

Time goes past, more than a little bit

Didn't phase you, not even a little bit (I know, I know)

The things I put you through (I know, I know)

The things that you would do, for me

You're my guarantee

You believed in me baby, you deserve that Mercedes

It don't matter what the cost, you get anything you want

Don't you worry 'bout nothing, nothing

Cause you give me all the love that I need

You been here from the start

And I appreciate the woman that you are

The only girl with keys to my heart

I wouldn't be the man that I am without ya

(So this is something that I gotta say)

Thanks for holding me down, down, down (down)

Down, down, down

Thanks for holding me down, down, down (down)

Down, down, down

Thanks for holding me down

What you see in me nobody else could see

Even when I had no faith in where we'd be

Stayed down, like old flat tires

Definition of a rider

Would do it again if you had to

And that's why I love ya

You been here from the start

And I appreciate the woman that you are

The only girl with keys to my heart

I wouldn't be the man that I am without ya

(So this is something that I gotta say)

Thanks for holding me down, down, down (down)

Down, down, down

Thanks for holding me down, down, down (down)

Down, down, down

Thanks for holding me down

You been here from the start

And I appreciate the woman that you are

The only girl with keys to my heart

I wouldn't be the man that I am without ya

(So this is something that I gotta say)

Thanks for holding me down, down, down (down)

Down, down, down

Thanks for holding me down, down, down (down)

Down, down, down

Thanks for holding me down
