Are You Still Down?
Are You Still Down?
Are You Still Down?
Now Up And At ′em It's On, I Was Raised To Be Strong
And Mama Told Me Be A Thug, Since The Day I Was Born
I Came Up, Out The Gutter Never Changed My Style
Got For Real About My Papers, ′cause The Game Was Wild
And The Fame Was A Plot To Try To Change Me
And What's Strange Is, Nobody Knew My Name 'fore It Came
Now The Whole World Is Calling Me A Killer
All I Ever Did, Was Try To Reach The Kids With The Real

All The Time I Was Ballin′, Never Heard My Friends Callin′
Couldn't Stop Myself From Fallin′, I'm All In
Shit′s Gettin' Sleazy, Believe Me
Best To Take What Ya Need, But Don′t Be Greedy
'Cause In My Mind, I See Sunshine, I Thought
I Didn't Have To Run, Now I′m Duckin′ From The Gun Yellin' "One Time!"

Take Your Time To Feel My Record
And If You Did, Chill A Second
My Blind Method, Will Still Wreck It
My Young Homies Stay Strong
I Wonder If They′ll Listen To A Nigga When He Gone
Are You Still Down?

Raise 'em Up, Are You Still Down?
Raise ′em Up, Are You Still Down?
Raise 'em Up, Are You Still Down?
Raise ′em Up, Are You Still Down?
Raise 'em Up, Are You Still Down?

I'm Gettin′ High, So A Nigga Think, He Touch The Sky
Turn Tough Inside, In The Rush To Die
Livin′ Life As A Thug, Time To Face The Truth
What's Goin′ On With The Wasted Youth, Please God
Come And Save Me, Had To Work With What Ya Gave Me
And Got A Nigga Goin' Crazy
I Can′t Read The Signs
I'm Blind, But A Nigga Know He Need His Nine

′Cause Times, They Ain't What They Used To Be
Ain't A Penitentiary Built Big Enough For Me
And My Niggas On The Streets, Man, Listen
′Cause These Ain′t The Old Days
Ain't No Way, I′ma Bustin' My Ass And Gettin′ No Pay
It Seems I Can't Find My Focus And Homie, I Ain′t Paranoid
I Seen The Future And It's Hopeless

Lord Knows, It's Hard On A Young Scrub
It Seems I Had Less Problems When I Slung Drugs
But Since I′m Tryin′ Lace, Niggas With The Game
Wanna See Me Locked In Chains, Tryin' To Dirty Up My Name
And Them Same Motherfuckers That Was Callin′ Me
Will Be The First To Turn Their Backs, When I'm Fallin′, See
I Should Have Seen It From The Jump, But Now It's Clear
This One Nigga Got The Town In Fear, But Are You Still Down?

Raise ′em Up, Are You Still Down?
Raise 'em Up, Are You Still Down?
Raise 'em Up, Are You Still Down?
Raise ′em Up, Are You Still Down?
Raise ′em Up

I Wrote This For My Critics And My Enemies
Last Year Ya Used To Love Me, Huh, Remember Me?
Now Ya Hate Me With A Passion, Tryin' To Get Me Stuck In The Mix
I′m Stayin' Sharp, Got No Time For Them Tricks
And Now They Wonder If I′m Goin' To Jail
Just As Well, ′cause My Life On The Streets, A Livin' Hell
And I Can't Sleep, They Got My Phone Tapped

And Mercy Lord, Come Get Me ′fore They Hurt Me
Ran Outta Tears, And Through The Years Couldn′t Change Me
My Daddy Left Me Alone And So I'm Angry
I Never Did Nothin′ Wrong, My Mama Told Me, "Baby, It's On!"
And Now I′m Hustlin' And Bustlin′ Bones
Never Said It Came Easy, I'm Makin' Cheese

Buyin′ All The Things On TV, And Gettin′ Skeezed
Wish My Homeboys Could See Me Now
Little Bad Motherfucker Runnin' Wild Through The Town
Please Tell Me, Are You Still Down?

Are You Still Down, Raise ′em Up (remember Me)
Are You Still Down, Raise 'em Up (remember Me)
Are You Still Down, Raise ′em Up
Are You Still Down, Raise 'em Up (remember Me)
Are You Still Down, Raise ′em Up (remember Me)

Are You Still Down, Raise 'em Up (remember Me)
Are You Still Down, Raise 'em Up
Are You Still Down, Raise ′em Up (remember Me)
Are You Still Down, Raise ′em Up (remember Me)
Are You Still Down, Raise 'em Up (remember Me)
Are You Still Down, Raise ′em Up

That's Right Y′all, Give Them Bitches The Motherfuckin' Middle Finger
Raise ′em Up
These Hoes Can't Fade Me, Don't These Bitches Know We Crazy?
Thug Life Niggas Be The Sickest
You Feel Me?
Now Get That Shit Written Down
Goddamn

Took Four Years And A Motherfuckin′ Case
For These Motherfuckers To Feel Me
Ain′t That A Bitch?
Are You Still Motherfuckin' Down?
Old Hoe Ass, Fake Ass Niggas
We Out This Motherfucker Though
