woman declare she has her man's back no matter what

Lyrics

RAP INTRO:
Whenever times get hard
And life backs me up against the wall
It's my baby I call
She rubs my back and then she tells me, tells me
I've got your back always
No matter what the hustle
No matter how hard we struggle
She's there on the double
My baby tells me that she loves, loves me
I've got your back always...
No matter what her friends say
Her family with their hatin' ways
She loves me everyday
I rub her feet and then she tells me, tells me
I've got your back always...

They say I'm crazy, girl you a fool
Look at his car, he's got no paper
He's a dreamer, you're a fool
They don't understand what I see in you
I don't sweat 'em when they talk
I just let 'em 'cause they're lost

When it comes to us and how I feel about you
I gotta let 'em know yeah,
I've got your back always

CHORUS:
When times get hard, waters get rough,
I've gotta let 'em know yeah
I've got your back always
When times get hard, waters get rough,
I've gotta let 'em know yeah
I've got your back always

I know when something's wrong
I can feel your pain
I can see the broken dreams through that smile on your face
You work real hard
And still can't get ahead
Even when they laid you off,
They couldn't shake us we stayed strong

See others can't relate to what we've got
And I sure don't tell 'em how you keep it hot
So whenever they tell me that I should go
I just let them know
I got your back always

CHORUS:
when times get hard, waters get rough,
I've gotta let 'em know yeah
I've got your back always
when times get hard, waters get rough,
I've gotta let 'em know yeah
I've got your back always

We've got something they'll never
Understand it, I tell ya
Tear us down, won't let 'em
Our hearts are locked forever yeah

It ain't nothing to give ya
All my loving, I feel ya
I'm gonna ride or die right by your side I'll hold you down

No matter how rough the road
No matter when the nights are cold
I'mma hold on tight I won't let go
We can ride any storm hold on (repeat)

As long as we stay together
As long as we hustle together
As long as we pray together
We can make it, I'll be ther always (repeat)
