Down For The Real Lyrics - Singles - Brand Nubian

Y'all niggas hurry up 

Go in there, buck them niggas and get the fuck out 

Don't be playin', dogg playin', yahearwhutI'msayin'? 

Kill them niggas and get the fuck back so we can stay ballin' 

We'll be chillin' right here 

Eh nigga, I wanna know if you're ready to do this shit? 

You ready to do this shit or what, motherfucker? 

And don't be actin' like no pussy when we get the fuck out, man 

Is you down, nigga? 

Well, if you're down say you're down, if you're scared, say you scared 

This is the real, don't fuck around and come unprepared 

Or you might lose your life on the mean streets 

Middle of the night when the motherfuckin' fiends meet 

Hold your grip tight yo, don't let it slip 

You gotta keep your tool for the fools that wanna trip 

And if they wanna trip, send 'em on a vacation 

All expenses paid for a devil's cremation 

Can't be no contemplation, 'cos if he busts first you're gettin' burst 

Layin' on your back, I guess what I'm sayin', black, is that 

If you ain't down then don't fuck around 

Is you down, nigga? 'Cos the shit gets thick in my town 

This ain't a TV show or a song from the radio 

Murder on the streets, yo, is at a high ratio 

So it ain't no time for playin' 

You takes the 9 and I'ma be sprayin' 

Now what the fuck's this look in your eye? You're lookin' nervous, nigga 

Earlier tonight you was all ready to service, nigga 

Now your trigger ain't got no itch 

You're attitude switch like a motherfuckin' bitch 

I can see through your expression that you're vessin' 

Feelin' crazy pet, lookin' like you wanna jet 

But now the shit is obvious, you just can't deal 

I gotta find another nigga down for the real, is you down, nigga? 

Are you down for the real? 

Real life style's where niggas run wild 

Day after day the product line is a mile 

A nigga got his eye aimed on what's mines 

I gotta lay low 'cos my PO is through 

He keep checkin' every borough 'cos my address pad is thick 

Niggas be actin' wild cos they girl be on my dick 

This kid downtown don't like me, he say he want me dead 

He even put up cash and put a price on my head 

At first I can't sweat it but my little man got hit 

We had a lotta thrills but now he's buried in the Catskills 

Rumor has it, that bein' with me's a target 

My crew go less and less and I resort to wearin' a vest 

Ain't got no type of fans, just me and my mans 

We be drawin' up plans that include the use of guns 

Try to stay alive so we can spare no use of funds 

A month or two blows, a whole year blows 

Are we still on our toes as we guzzle all the Moet? 

Two drunken poets as the first shots hit 

My man don't duck quick and gets hit in the chest 

I just got nicked 'cos I had on the vest 

Now I'm dashin', cars in the garage 

Run past the Path', run past the Dodge 

Rumble for the keys, made it to my shit 

The AK can spray now niggas is gettin' hit, is you down, nigga? 

Are you down for the real? 

Are you down for the real, motherfuckers? 

Is you down, nigga? 

Are you down for the real? 

Is you, is you down, nigga? 

Now are you down with the real ass niggas? 

Is you down, is you down, nigga? 

Now tell me if you're down for the real? 

Is you, is you down, is you down, nigga? 

Are you down for the real, motherfuckers? 

Is you down, nigga? 

Are you down for the real? 

Is you, is you down, nigga? 

Now are you down with the real ass niggas? 

Is you down, is you down, nigga? 

Now tell me if you're down for the real? 

Is you down, is you down, is you down, nigga? 

Is you down, nigga? 

Is you, is you down, nigga? 

Is you down, nigga? 

Is you down, nigga? 

Is you down, nigga? 

Is you down, nigga? 

Is you down, is you down nigga? 

Is you, is you down, is you down 

Is you down, nigga?
