D.O.W.N.
Dead Prez

RBG's, RBG's, nigga it's dat RBG's

RBG's, RBG's, nigga it's dat RBG's


Tell me are you down? When it's goin' down

You got to hold it down, don't talk it put it down

Homey tell me are you down? When it's goin' down

You got to hold it down, don't talk it put it down, homey


Have you ever had a lesson from a OG?

From a nigga that's been in the war

Been locked up longer than I been on the earth

And his crime is 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

'Cuz 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 wit you then?


Now you wanna get high wit me, organize wit me

Start a clothes drive then maybe we can start a fire

Where my RBG's? My guerrillas wit a G U E

Don't got a I Ching homey get free


Who number 1 when we ride? We follow the plan

And 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 and it comes from within

It's not somethin' you pretend, homey


A lot of niggas be talkin' that shit when it really goes down

It be gone with the wind, homey

Can't be no tower, gotta get this power by any means

Gotta know ya self and ya enemy when you puttin' it down for ya family

Can't tell by no tattoo, can't tell by no handshake


It's scarred in the heartbeat, bein' down is an attitude

Doin' what you gotta do, for the crew's sake

My definition of a soulja, 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 tell me


Tell me are you down? When it's goin' down

You got to hold it down, don't talk it put it down

Homey, tell me are you down? When it's goin' down

You got to hold it down, don't talk it put it down

Homey, tell me are you down?
