Protoje - Hold You Now

[Intro]
This one is for my city girls
I'm wondering if you'll get with me girl
Country youth, you know
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
My lady, let me hold you now
I don't wanna hold you down
Come to me, let me show you 'round
I know, I'm from the country, take you out of town
You nah go waan fi go back home
My baby, let me hold you now
I don't wanna hold you down
Come to me, let me show you 'round
I know, I'm from the country, take you out of town
You nah go waan fi go back home

[Verse 1]
Let me take you from a place where
Politicians they don't play fair
Brainwash the youth dem from the daycare
I speak of youths because a few is what we may share
'Cause me and you, we can make a truly great pair
Me love your mind and your body too
Down to every molecule
Stand firm inna your solitude
Me would a love fi you combine with me
That would really put my mind at ease

[Chorus]
My lady, let me hold you now
I don't wanna hold you down
Come to me, let me show you 'round
I know, I'm from the country, take you out of town
You nah go waan fi go back home
My baby, let me hold you now
I don't wanna hold you down
Come to me, let me show you 'round
I know, I'm from the country, take you out of town
You nah go waan fi go back home

[Verse 2]
Me say you eyes pretty like
The light inna the city night
And a you me want fi see tonight
Me say you hotter than the gritty, I
Wonder if you would accept this water
That is bubbling up in my chillum pipe
Me want fi see you prosper inna what you do
This a nuh Twitter so you know me nah go follow you
But me haffi follow through, honour you
You need fi tell me wha' you wanna do

[Chorus]
My little lady, let me hold you now
I don't wanna hold you down
Come to me, let me show you 'round
I know, I'm from the country, take you out of town
You nah go waan fi go back home
My baby, let me hold you now
I don't wanna hold you down
Come to me, let me show you 'round
I know, I'm from the country, take you out of town
You nah go waan fi go back home

[Verse 3]
You so divine inna your essence
Me love your effervescence
You full me up a blessings
Mama Yashi when you dressing
You destined for peace
By the speech you addressing me with
And everything you do I see fit
A you alone the Rastaman a sleep with
So long as we stick together, we rich together
No fish, no feathers, no deaders so we syncing better
This yah ship yah no

[Chorus]
Baby girl, come make me hold you now
I don't wanna hold you down
Come to my city, let me show you 'round
I know, I'm from the country, take you out of town
You nah go waan fi go back home
My lady, let me hold you now
I don't wanna hold you down
Come to my city, let me show you 'round
I know, I'm from the country, take you out of town
You nah go waan fi go back home

[Verse 4]
Saint Elizy a me dwelling place
Sometimes dem nuh have no bread in plate
Hungry belly but dem celebrate
Life and meditate, heights and elevate
We no go church but me would a love a wedding day
'Cause if dem violate, cah we moving at a higher rate
The warriors will make the fire blaze
'Cah Selassie I we praise
This love will never expiring
No need for you to ever shy away

[Chorus]
Baby, let me hold you now
I don't wanna hold you down
Come to me, let me show you 'round
I know, I'm from the country, take you out of town
You nah go waan fi go back home
My baby, let me hold you now
I don't wanna hold you down
Come to my village, let me show you 'round
I know, I'm from the country, take you out of town
You nah go waan fi go back home

[Outro]
My baby, let me hold you now
I don't wanna hold you down
Let me show you 'round
I know, I know
