Now up and at em it's on, I was raised to be strong
And Mama told me be a Thug since the day I was born
I came up, out the gutter never changed my style
Got for real about my papers, cause the game was wild
And the fame was a plot to try to change me
And what's strange is nobody knew my name 'fore it came
Now the whole world is calling me a, killer
All I ever did, was try to reach the kids with the real
All the time I was ballin, never heard my friends callin
Couldn't stop myself from fallin, I'm all in [bad word] s gettin sleazy, believe me
Best to take what ya need, but don't be greedy
Cause in my mind, I see sunshine, I thought
I didn't have [bad word]  now I'm duckin from the gun yellin, 'One-Time'
Take your time to feel my record, and if you did
chill a second, my blind method, will still wreck it
My young homies stay strong
I wonder if they'll listen to a [bad word] when he gone, R U Still Down?
 [bad word]  2Pac

Raise em up... R U Still Down?
(repeat 5X)

Verse Two: 2Pac

I'm gettin high, so a [bad word] think he touch the sky
Turn tough inside, in [bad word] to die
Livin life as a Thug time to face the [bad word] What's goin on with the wasted youth, please [bad word] and save me (save me), had to work with what ya gave me
And got a [bad word] goin crazy
I can't read the signs, I'm blind, but a [bad word] know
he need his nine, cause times, they ain't what they used to be
Ain't a penitentiary built big enough for me
and my niggaz on the streets, man listen
Cause these ain't the old days
Ain't no way I'ma bustin my [bad word] and gettin no pay
It seems I can't find my focus, and homey I ain't paranoid
I seen the future and it's hopeless
Lord knows, its hard on a young [bad word] It seems I had less problems when I slung [bad word] But since I'm tryin lace niggaz with the game
wanna see me locked in chains, tryin to dirty up my name
And them same [bad word] that was callin me
Will be the first to turn their backs, when I'm fallin, see
I should have seen it from the jump, but now it's clear
This one [bad word] got the town in fear, but R U Still Down
 [bad word] 
Verse Three: 2Pac

I wrote this for my critics and my, enemies
Last year ya used to love me, huh REMEMBER ME
Now ya hate me with a passion, tryin to get me stuck in the mix
I'm stayin sharp, got no time for them tricks
And now they wonder if I'm goin to jail
Just as well, cause my life on the streets - a living [bad word] And I can't sleep, they got my phone tapped, and mercy [bad word] get me 'fore they hurt me
Ran outta tears, and through the years couldn't change me
My daddy left me alone, and so I'm angry
I never did nothin wrong, my mama told me, "Baby it's on"
And now I'm hustlin and bustlin bones
Never said it came easy, I'm makin cheese
Buyin all the things on TV, and gettin skeezed
Wish my homeboys could see me now
Little bad [bad [bad word] wild through the town
Please tell me, R U Still Down?

R U Still Down, to raise em up? Remember me (repeat 2X)
R U Still Down, to raise em up?

R U Still Down, to raise em up? Remember me (repeat 3X)
R U Still Down, to raise em up?

R U Still Down, to raise em up? Remember me (repeat 3X)
R U Still Down, to raise em up?

That's right y'all, give them [bad word] the [bad word] middle finger
RAISSSSE em up
These hoes can't fade me, don't these [bad word] know we crazy?
Thug Life, niggaz, be, the sickest
You feel me? Now get that [bad word] written down
God [bad word] 
Took four years and a [bad word] case for these [bad word] to feel me
Ain't that a [bad word]

Old hoe [bad word] fake [bad word] niggaz
