R U Still Down [repeat 3X]
    [Verse One: 2Pac]
    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
  Shit'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 to run, 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 nigga when he gone, R U Still Down?
    [Chorus: 2Pac]
    Raise em up... R U Still Down?
  [repeat 5X]
    [Verse Two: 2Pac]
    I'm gettin high, so a nigga think he touch the sky
  Turn tough inside, in the rush to die
  Livin life as a Thug time to face the truth
  What's goin on with the wasted youth, please God
  come and save me (save me), had to work with what ya gave me
  And got a nigga goin crazy
  I can't read the signs, I'm blind, but a nigga 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 ass 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 scrub
  It seems I had less problems when I slung drugs
  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 motherfuckers 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 nigga got the town in fear, but R U Still Down
    [Chorus]
    [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 Hell
  And I can't sleep, they got my phone tapped, and mercy Lord
  Come 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 motherfucker runnin 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]
