[Esham] Way back in the day,in 1987 People used to say I wouldn't make it to heaven 1987 was the year of the trick Muthafuckas talkin shit cause they was illegit I used to hang out at the park and kick it with the fellas Behind my back they talkin shit just because their jealous Niggas used to diss me sayin I was a sucka But that girl you all in love with....I fucked her Nigga be dissin me but he can't see He takin care of a bitch who baby look like me But I can't tell him nothin,he'll think that I'm jealous I got more bitches holdin on my dick than Perry Ellis Nigga didn't know what I was all about I got cold dissed when I was down and out Before you called me a sucka and now you wanna be down When I was broke you wasn't comin around Now people give me my props all over town But niggas like you still dyin to be down [Hook] Dyin to be down means simply this You don't jock a nigga that you already dissed And when you start jockin him then he's knowin You're nothin but a sucka punk ass ho and A pussy ass nigga jumpin on the bandwagon You'll get kicked in your ass like the last dragon D-y-i-n-g to be d-o-w-n my friend No way that we could ever be cool I'm takin all punk ass niggas to school But, school is out and there's no doubt in my mind You wouldn't set me up or drop a dime Once a punk ass nigga always one And you been a punk ass nigga in more ways than one Except you keep comin around cuz niggas like you ain't down You're dyin to be down [Hook] How can I be down is all I hear But fuck Esham was the slogan last year Now you got a new one,thinkin you gon' do one Go put a dick in your booty and screw one Cause you can't screw me I don't care if you boo me But in my face I won't allow you to do me To be down or not to be down is the question You'll never be down so don't come around Dreamin to be down Schemin to be down Like Captain Kirk I'll be beamin your black ass down Ain't no ifs,ands or buts or maybes You're like a dog with rabies who tried to play me But you can't fade me so how that sound You're just another punk nigga...dyin to be down
