Down For The Real Lyrics

    Intro:

    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?" ---> O-Dog

    [Lord Jamar]
    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, uhh
    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 thru 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?

    [Sadat X]
    Real lifestyle'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 gots ta lay low cos my PO is thorough
    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
    Rumour 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?

    Chorus:

    Are you down for the real, motherfuckers?, "Is you down, nigga?"
    Are you down for the real..............? , "Is you down, nigga?"
    Now are you down with the real ass niggas? , "Is you down, nigga?"
    Now tell me if you're down for the real? , "Is you down, nigga?"
    *repeat*

    "Is you down, nigga?" (x10)
