D.O.W.N. - Explicit Album Version

RBGs, RBGs, Nigga it's dat RBGs
 RBGs, RBGs, Nigga it's dat RBGs
 Tell me are you down? when it's goin down
 You got to hold it down, don't talk it hold it down
 Tell me are you down? when it's goin down
 You got to hold it down, when it's goin down
 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, tell you bout life
 But most of all they tell you bout sacrifice
 And they can tell if a woman aint 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 RBGs? My guerillas wit a G-U-E
 Don't got a I-Ching homey get free
 Rule number 1: When we ride we follow the plan
 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 and 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 they be gone with the wind, homey
 Can't be no coward, gotta get this power by any means
 Gotta know yaself and ya enemy when you puttin it down for ya family
 Can't tell by no tattoo, can't tell by no handshake
 It starts with the heart, bein down is an attitude
 Doin' what you gotta do, for the crew's sake
 My definition of a soulja, a Revolutionary, Military Minded,
 And ready for whatever, nigga
 Hope for the best and prepare for the worst
 Stay aware, be alert bomb first, no tear(?)
 Tell me are you down? when it's goin down
 You got to hold it down, don't talk it hold it down
 Homey tell me are you down? when it's goin down
 You got to hold it down, don't talk it hold it
