YU - If U Down lyrics

[Verse 1] The rain is pouring, pain is going on in my life That's why I write, same reason why drinkers go buy a pint Dark clouds attack the light that is within me Struggle is neverending, prayer is what some recommend me I'm 5'9, but when I rhyme feel like I'm 10 feet tall Laying the law through these bars, I put my life's call Many be dumb downed clowns, see I don't like y'all Hit them with the permanent pause, what do you fight for? Your car, your chain, it's all the same You call it game, boring my brain, them fraudulent ways I can't feel what you're saying, cuz the balance is off Faking like you don't have a heart wit all the violence you talk It's like you can't crack a smile anymore, I guess its got to be war 24/7 weapons got to squeeze off, n***a nahh That is a plan within a plan, my man Destruction is in demand and Uncle Sam is a fan [Hook] Hearts frozen, why do we stay on that cold sh**? We used to be cultured, influenced by the vultures They've been scoping, an*lyzing with a motive It's like we've been tied up with an invisible rope and them Jails open, they get paid when they put more inside Kind of currupt, it's time for us to just expose them It's wild, especially when your skintone's brown But right now we about to turn it around You with me? Hit me if you down [Verse 2] Of course I've walked with what my ancestors fought for Heart full of pa**ion, want more, start at ground floor Still remain because of y'all we make it sound raw I thank Allah, for me to try to paint a song That is a cure till the pain is gone Fruits of my labor may be ripe cuz I've been waiting for them Seems like a lifelong task, walking on this path Many be cheating, but my dad, he was a honest man Plus about his cash, getting it because he worked hard And to my moms, they call it labor, that was work y'all Since birth searched the earth for what I'm worth. Money? It's paperweight, cannot equate to what my life study Has told me, go beyond all the stars up in the sky The gift of rhymes, that is the place I chose to emphasize Just a sign, maybe my light is not fading I was born to shine greatly, on the rise trying to break free [Hook] [Verse 3] Hit me, if you're down and out, wild is not the route you need to be taking n***as be waiting to throw they hate in, frustration be incubating Inside, times are tense so I write rhymes with sense Why? Because there's not too many of y'all that's doing this My influences came before they ruined this, foolishness Ringtone, computer chip, champ, I'm not new to this I prove what I say through the way that I relay I don't break, standing time's test and making that progress And I'm on my job, yes indeedy y'all greedy While I got less, make it sound monstrous, break it down in portion It all fit together, I remember my beginnings While I'm winning, cuz forgetting brings the ending close Folks forget, get on some brand new sh** The movements still in motion like Munch and Matthew and them Ups? I've had a few of them, downs I've had too But whenever I think of my mission I feel I have to ascend Fin [Hook] [Refrain x4] Uh uh, hit me if you down Ooh ooh , I'll be around Hey!
