Down For You Lyrics – Mobb Deep, Jorja Smith, Nas

Down For You Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Jorja Smith & Havoc]
Just setting the mood, giving that smooth, confident start.

[Verse 1: Havoc]
Here, Havoc talks about being deeply drawn to someone who’s completely changed him. He feels this connection is not normal—it’s powerful and hard to control. Even though he’s been through tough environments and carries a rough edge from the streets, this person has managed to reach his softer, hidden side. He’s surprised at how much he’s fallen, realizing she’s passed all his tests and earned his respect. There’s raw chemistry between them, and he’s willing to explore things he never thought he would. Despite his hardened nature, he admits she stands out from anyone else. The mix of love, lust, and loyalty comes through strong here, as he basically says she’s the greatest of all time, no question.

[Chorus: Jorja Smith]
Jorja sings about unconditional love and loyalty. She’s saying that if she had her partner by her side, she wouldn’t worry about anything else. Even though love brings pain and emotional struggle, she’s ready to accept it. If falling in love leads to her downfall, she’s still completely willing to stay devoted.

[Verse 2: Nas]
Nas paints a vivid picture of his world—luxury, fame, and charm—but deep down, he’s talking about wanting something real. He jokes about being attracted to famous women but makes it clear that the woman he’s with now stands out. She’s not just about looks; she has quality, confidence, and can handle his lifestyle. He reflects on his past self, recognizing he’s grown from a rough, street version of himself into a more mature, settled man. He’s ready to offer stability, loyalty, and luxury—flying her out, buying her gifts, and showing her off with pride. Even when his friends tease him for being in love, he doesn’t care because he’s found someone who truly completes him. It’s his way of saying that real love outshines all the flashy stuff around him.

[Chorus: Jorja Smith]
This part repeats the emotional core of the song with more depth. Jorja expresses how love can be both painful and beautiful. She admits it hurts to hold onto those deep feelings, but she can’t let them go. Even if being in love causes her to fall or lose herself, she’s willing to risk it. The repetition shows total commitment, like she’s convincing herself that true love is worth any cost. Having that person beside her makes everything else fade into the background, no matter what she’s been through or left behind.

[Verse 3: Prodigy]
Prodigy brings in a classy but street-smart vibe, describing a life of success and luxury. He’s relaxing in fancy places, enjoying the finer things with his crew, but it’s not just about showing off—it’s about celebrating how far they’ve come. He lists expensive watches and designer fashion, showing pride in maintaining real gangster roots while living a high-end lifestyle. There’s also an appreciation for intimacy and passion, showing that even in a world of wealth and toughness, emotions and connection still matter. The mix of laughter, luxury, and love gives a glimpse of balance—he’s still a hustler at heart but now surrounded by comfort, style, and a woman who matches his energy.

[Chorus: Jorja Smith]
Once again, Jorja’s lines wrap up the song with devotion. She repeats that having her lover beside her removes all doubt and fear. Even if love brings heartbreak or downfall, she’s ready to face it head-on. It’s a final promise of loyalty, showing that for her, love is worth any risk or consequence.
