R U Still Down? (Remember Me)

[Intro]

Are you still down?

[Verse 1]

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 you 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?

[Chorus]

Raise 'em up ... are you still down?

[Verse 2]

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 you 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, am I 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 tryna lace niggas with the game

Wanna see me locked in chains, tryna dirty up my name

And them same motherfuckers that was callin' me

Will be the first to turn their back, 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?

[Chorus]

Raise 'em up ... are you still down?

Raise 'em up—

[Verse 3]

I wrote this for my critics and my enemies

Last year you used to love me, huh, remember me

Now you hate me with a passion, tryna 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 out of 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 bustin' them bones

Never said it came easy, I'm makin' G's

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?

[Chorus]

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

Are you still down? Raise 'em up. Remember me

Are you still down? Raise 'em up

[Outro]

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 ho ass fake ass niggas

We out this motherfucker though
