To maintain someone or to 'hold someone down'.
Meaning to keep someone interested and committed to you without showing hesitation on your part. If youre not holding them down, you ain't trying, it can lead to them leaving your lazy a**

Friend: "why did you break up with mark?"
Her: "He's so flaky, he just doesn't know how to hold it down"

1) Maintaining a steady job in an industry in which that person is not the "norm"
2) Performing in an area in which that person is essentially not accepted, but managing to perform the task at hand anyway (without missing a beat despite the hate).
3) Being present in a place which is deemed basically as hostile, so that others who look different (or are different) can also potentially gain access to that field (albeit always in limited numbers).
Jason: Hey Joe how is it going at that job you work at? Still holding it down for the rest of us?
Kwadwo: Still holding it down my brother.
