Down for the Real
Brand Nubian

Y'all niggas hurry up

Go in there, buck them niggas and get the fuck out

Don't be playin', dogg playin', yahearwhutI'msayin'?

Kill them niggas and get the fuck back so we can stay ballin'

We'll be chillin' right here


Eh nigga, I wanna know if you're ready to do this shit?

You ready to do this shit or what, motherfucker?

And don't be actin' like no pussy when we get the fuck out, man

Is you down, nigga?


Well, if you're down say you're down, if you're scared, say you scared

This is the real, don't fuck around and come unprepared

Or you might lose your life on the mean streets

Middle of the night when the motherfuckin' fiends meet


Hold your grip tight yo, don't let it slip

You gotta keep your tool for the fools that wanna trip

And if they wanna trip, send 'em on a vacation

All expenses paid for a devil's cremation


Can't be no contemplation, 'cos if he busts first you're gettin' burst

Layin' on your back, I guess what I'm sayin', black, is that

If you ain't down then don't fuck around

Is you down, nigga? 'Cos the shit gets thick in my town


This ain't a TV show or a song from the radio

Murder on the streets, yo, is at a high ratio

So it ain't no time for playin'

You takes the 9 and I'ma be sprayin'


Now what the fuck's this look in your eye? You're lookin' nervous, nigga

Earlier tonight you was all ready to service, nigga

Now your trigger ain't got no itch

You're attitude switch like a motherfuckin' bitch


I can see through your expression that you're vessin'

Feelin' crazy pet, lookin' like you wanna jet

But now the shit is obvious, you just can't deal

I gotta find another nigga down for the real, is you down, nigga?

Are you down for the real?


Real life style's where niggas run wild

Day after day the product line is a mile

A nigga got his eye aimed on what's mines

I gotta lay low 'cos my PO is through


He keep checkin' every borough 'cos my address pad is thick

Niggas be actin' wild cos they girl be on my dick

This kid downtown don't like me, he say he want me dead

He even put up cash and put a price on my head


At first I can't sweat it but my little man got hit


We had a lotta thrills but now he's buried in the Catskills

Rumor has it, that bein' with me's a target

My crew go less and less and I resort to wearin' a vest


Ain't got no type of fans, just me and my mans

We be drawin' up plans that include the use of guns

Try to stay alive so we can spare no use of funds

A month or two blows, a whole year blows


Are we still on our toes as we guzzle all the Moet?

Two drunken poets as the first shots hit

My man don't duck quick and gets hit in the chest

I just got nicked 'cos I had on the vest


Now I'm dashin', cars in the garage

Run past the Path', run past the Dodge

Rumble for the keys, made it to my shit

The AK can spray now niggas is gettin' hit, is you down, nigga?

Are you down for the real?


Are you down for the real, motherfuckers?

Is you down, nigga?

Are you down for the real?

Is you, is you down, nigga?


Now are you down with the real ass niggas?

Is you down, is you down, nigga?

Now tell me if you're down for the real?

Is you, is you down, is you down, nigga?


Are you down for the real, motherfuckers?

Is you down, nigga?

Are you down for the real?

Is you, is you down, nigga?


Now are you down with the real ass niggas?

Is you down, is you down, nigga?

Now tell me if you're down for the real?

Is you down, is you down, is you down, nigga?


Is you down, nigga?

Is you, is you down, nigga?

Is you down, nigga?

Is you down, nigga?


Is you down, nigga?

Is you down, nigga?

Is you down, is you down nigga?

Is you, is you down, is you down

Is you down, nigga?
