Down

[Intro: stic.man] RBGs, RBG. Nigga, it's that RBGs RBGs, RBG. Nigga, this that RBG [Hook: stic.man] Tell me: are you down? When it's goin’ down You got to hold it down—don't talk it, put it down Homie, tell me: are you down? When it's goin’ down You got to hold it down—don't talk it, put it down Homie, tell me: are you down? [Verse 1: M-1] Have you ever had a lesson from a OG? From a nigga that's been in the war? Been locked up longer than I’ve been on the earth, finished crime and defendin’ the poor And they can tell you ‘bout death and tell you ‘bout life But most of all, they tell you ‘bout sacrifice And they can tell if a woman ain't with you when you down ‘cause she never really could be your wife What it mean to be D-O-W-N? Is ya homies still down when it's trouble you in? You wanna have a good time, make it hot when the pigs come down on the block—would they fuck with you then? Then you wanna get high with me? Nigga, organize with me Start a clothes drive. Then, maybe we can start a fire Where my RBGs? My guerillas with a G-U-E Don't got a I-Ching, homie, get free [Verse 2: stic.man] Rule number one: when we ride, we follow the plan—there's a role for every man With a chain of command, even when the shit hit the fan, anything get outta hand, we still stand To me, bein' down mean more than bein' friends or kin We comrades, we struggle through any trouble Sacrifice my life in combat for ya So you know I gotta love ya, I'm down for my brothas And sistas. Fuck the system, bust ya pistols. Nigga, I'm with ya Just put a rag on ya face when you ride—you don't want them satellites to take ya picture We gotta have a lot of discipline to win and it comes from within—it's not somethin’ you pretend, homie A lot of niggas be talkin’ that shit. When it really goes down, they be gone with the wind, homie Can't be no coward. Gotta get this power by any means Gotta know yaself and ya enemy when you puttin’ it down for ya family Can't tell by no tattoo, can't tell by no handshake It start with the heart, bein’ down is an attitude—doin’ what you gotta do for the crusade My definition of a soldier: revolutionary, military-minded, and ready for whatever Nigga, hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Stay aware, be alert, bomb first, don't tear [Hook: stic.man] Tell me: are you down? When it's goin’ down You got to hold it down—don't talk it, put it down Homie, tell me: are you down? When it's goin’ down You got to hold it down—don't talk it, put it down Homie, tell me: are you down?
