R U Still Down (original) Lyrics

Artist: 2Pac
Album: Original Versions
Song: R U Still Down?
R U Still Down (repeat 3X)

Verse One: 2Pac

I never had a father figure, I was raised by the
Thugs and the drug dealers, That's why i love n*****
Until they place me in my casket, Guess i'll be a hopeless b******
Gettin High in the back passage, Can't nobody make a way for me
Times is hard on a n****, Mama pray for me
I'm smokin weed for the stress, Drinkin for the pain
From the strain on the young brothers brain
Ain't a m************ thing to do
But hang and stay true, Thug's get lonely too
I'm drinking 22's of brew, Till I'm tipsy
And i ain't going out throwing up my middle finger
Miss me
Tryna get my hands on the cash
How long will it last, Will it last a little longer if i BLAST
And trust me, I'll probably be the last to preach
cuz Ain't no hope for the future if they asking me
And what my poppa never told me,
U see i learned from the kindness, Of strangers and homies
So now i can't turn back, Time to make it through
They wanna ban me, But it's time to feed my family
But all the homies in the hood told me n**** it's all good
And m********* Hollywood, For tryna shut a real n**** down
Stayin true to the game, f*** the fame
I still won't change R U Still Down?

Chorus: Woman + (2pac)

R U Still Down?
(R U Still Down)
(repeat 4X)

Verse Two: 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
s***'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 n**** when he gone, R U Still Down?

Chorus 2pac

Tell Me R U Still Down (Tell Me)
(repeat 6X)

Verse Three: 2Pac
I'm gettin high, so a n**** 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 n**** goin crazy
I can't read the signs, I'm blind, but a n**** 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 n***** on the streets, man listen
Cause these ain't the old days
Ain't no way I'ma bustin my a** 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 lacin young brothers with the game
wanna see me locked in chains, tryin to dirty up my name
And them same m************ 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 n**** got the town in fear, but R U Still Down

All i want to know R U Still Down,
Tell me R U Still Down,

All i want to know R U Still Down,
Tell me R U Still Down,

All i want to know R U Still Down,
Tell me R U Still Down,
