Are you down?
If I fell off tomorrow, would you still love me? (Are you down?)
If I never got on would you still love me?
If I fall out would you try to steal from me?
If I've had too much would you take the wheel from me?
Say you only want the real from me (are you down?)
That's what everybody says but what nobody means
If you ask how you're looking when you're getting new jeans
And I don't give a thumbs up, are you still keen
Let me know girl (are you down?)
Ain't dumb enough to ask that
Done tryna run game like a halfback
I'm trying to sit up in the box with the coach now
And I'd be lying if I said that I was broke now (are you down?)
Ain't well off either, but I'm self made
At the very least, dues paid, that ain't never cheap
So tell me are you still down if I'm in a boujee apartment and I ain't at the Plaza?
If it's all top shelf instead of lager
Would the hood still listen to me after?
Do you people still wanna hear me answer
When everybody's either Fetty Wap or a rasta
It's like tomorrow can't get here any faster
Times is changing, young rappers is ageing
Becoming OG's, can't stay the same
When I'm in a whole 'nother place, tell me to my face, are you down?
It's so hard (are you down?)
But you keep me right on track
Ain't nobody got my back
The way I know you got mine
Are you down? (Are you down?)
Yeah, you sine like me (oh yeah)
But you gotta grind like me
It's so hard, yeah yeah
Say, are you down if I had to bang streets with them rocks?
Down if I got into some trouble with the cops?
If I had to get away, would you come away?
Say, are you down if there ever had to come a day?
Shit let me know, Derrick Rose how I run a play
I'm on the road, 'bout the goal, I just wanna say
Ay, I just wanna say
I'm on the road, 'bout the goal, I just wanna say
Are you down? (Are you down?)
If my situation changed up
Visits through a glass wall, living caged up
Would you keep me stayin' strong as I age up
Girl (are you down?)
Ask my brothers would they last through the favors
Or would they only holla at me on occasions
While I sit here living life through the pages
Tell me would you stay down through the phases
Down for the name, if I didn't have a playlist?
Or roam streets, hung around with the basics
Would you stay down through the trials, tribulations?
If I ain't rap, but flip burgers at Burger King
Are you down to tell your friend you're feelin' me?
Put my life on this music, you feel the energy?
And if I fail, would I still be on your centerpiece?
Or have my kid living life through his legacy
Eyes on the prize, never eyes on the enemy
They on the front, 'cause I made what I said I'd be
Shit, hold it down for the crown, it's the recipe
It's so hard (are you down?)
But you keep me right on track
Ain't nobody got my back
The way I know you got mine
Are you down? (Are you down?)
Yeah, you shine like me (oh yeah)
But you gotta grind like me
It's so hard, yeah yeah
Know my brothers, they been with me though the cold phases
You gotta be by your blessings, ain't no catching cases
I been lethal, all this pressure never got my patience
Through adolescence been representin' all I created
Feeling major
Never am I skipping pages
Is you down for me still if I wasn't the greatest?
Is you down for the thrill if I gave you a playlist?
Or wanna make you a million supplying these flavors? (are you down?)
Yeah, they be fiendin' amazement
But showing me what is real through every occasion
Older cousin was in the field, he told me to take it
Ain't no changing on how I feel, through all of this fake shit
And it's history in the making (are you down?)
We dun held it down for the set, now steppin' on stages
We plotting around the rest, beware of the danger
I've been down from the get, dividing these angles
Still it's rest in peace to my angel
I would've been on the streets or locked in a cage too
I would've been holdin' heat, or tuckin' these bad two's
But once I heard me a beat, I divided these bad rules
Steady, I be grindin' until the sun up
If I ain't boppin'
We flowin' through for the bills, ain't been changing up for the dollars
Been motivatin' the real
While we separatin' the problems
It's so hard (are you down?)
But you keep me right on track
Ain't nobody got my back
The way I know you got mine
Are you down? (Are you down?)
Yeah, you shine like me (oh yeah)
But you gotta grind like me
It's so hard, yeah yeah
La radio è morta? No. Ma non è più il cancello d'ingresso. Negli ultimi anni qualcosa è cambiato ? radicalmente. Canzoni sconosciute esplodono in pochi giorni.
