Still Down ft. Lakeith Rashad Lyrics

Yo

Before we go further on

I need to know, is you still down

Yeah

If you don't really fuck with me

Then I need to know why you still around

Yuh, yuh, yuh

I seen friends turn into foes

Seen real ones die over hoes

You know that's just the way shit go (shit go)

That's why my heart been so cold, yeah

Look me in my face, no lies (no lie)

I seen them snakes in disguise, yuh

I send them fakes to the skies, yuh

And one thing

Before we go further on

I need to know, is you still down

Yeah

If you don't really fuck with me

Then I need to know why you still around

Yuh, yuh, ay

I'm so locked in, I can never leave

I ain't got time, she forever pleads

Beggin' me to spend more time, wondering what I do

All I show her is a better me

Tryna give my girl everything so she keep a smile on her face

And she never try to intervene

With my life that I'm hiding behind the scenes

So tired of the crying, I tell her please

Don't take it so personal

If I told you life would get worse, you know

Seen a couple dead bodies in the dirt before

And I don't wanna do anything to hurt you

So, are you still down

When I leave for a couple days or a couple weeks

And I come back, would you still be around

I don't mean to cause stress but I see your doubt

I know you feeling upset, but I feel proud that I got you to hold

When I come home and my heart's been froze

Swallow all the pain, yeah, it's hard to let go

You the only one that can calm my soul

So I hope that you stay through the storm

And just love who I am when I step through the door

I can't tell you everything, but I'm sure

We can still live good with a place by the shore

Before we go further on

I need to know, is you still down

Yeah

If you don't really fuck with me

Then I need to know why you still around

Yuh, yuh, yuh

I seen friends turn into foes

Seen real ones die over hoes

You know that's just the way shit go (shit go)

That's why my heart been so cold, yeah

Look me in my face, no lies (no lie)

I seen them snakes in disguise, yuh

I send them fakes to the skies, yuh

And one thing

Before we go further on

I need to know, is you still down

Yeah

If you don't really fuck with me

Then I need to know why you still around

Yuh, yuh, ay

We know you're saying way too much

Pretty soon you gon' have to break up

She be askin' you questions and you can never answer

I think it's time for you to wake up

Yeah, you better choose wisely

Either ride with us or we won't leave kindly

Man, you took an oath for this life, stop cryin'

Shoulda stayed alone

Now your girl's compromisin' the whole damn system

We need you to commit

We're your real fam now whether you can admit this or not

I hope you don't try to resist

This is the only advice that we kindly suggest

We got your whole life tight in our grip

Everything you do

You can't hide from the rest of the whole group

You can try it, I guess

But you don't recognize all the eyes on your neck

Are you still down

You the best of the best

But we got other people who be ready in the field

'Bout to spill rounds at anybody who defects

We're connected, we're only asking for respect

Will you be around when we call for a job

Will you answer your phone or dishonor us all

When it's love, you should never get involved

We don't ever wanna see your downfall (nah)

Further on

Is you still down

Don't fuck wit' me, you won't be around

You want my soul, can't have my soul

This world is cold, it's why I stay low

Need I say more

When I look in your eyes

I see a snake in disguise

I'll send you straight to the skies

I will not take your lies

Further on

Is you still down

Don't fuck with me

I'll leave you in the ground
