R U Still Down (repeat 3X)

Verse One: 2Pac

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, R U Still Down?

Chorus: 2Pac

Raise em up... R U Still Down?

(repeat 5X)

Verse Two: 2Pac

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 (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 niggaz 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 homey I ain't paranoid

I seen the future and it's hopeless

Lord knows, its hard on a young scrub

It seems I had less problems when I slung drugs

But since I'm tryin lace niggaz 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 R U Still Down

Chorus

Verse Three: 2Pac

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 living 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, R U Still Down?

R U Still Down, to raise em up? Remember me (repeat 2X)

R U Still Down, to raise em up?

R U Still Down, to raise em up? Remember me (repeat 3X)

R U Still Down, to raise em up?

R U Still Down, to raise em up? Remember me (repeat 3X)

R U Still Down, to raise em up?

That's right y'all, give them bitches the motherfuckin middle finger

RAISSSSE em up

These hoes can't fade me, don't these bitches know we crazy?

Thug Life, niggaz, be, the sickest

You feel me? Now get that shit written down

God damn!

Took four years and a motherfuckin case for these motherfuckers to

feel me

Ain't that a bitch?

R U Still motherfucking down?

Old hoe ass fake ass niggaz

We out this motherfucker
