Ashanti – Still Down Lyrics

Hip Hop/Rap

Yo, this is what they want, huh?
This is what it's all about?
Time to take some murderous action
Niggas just don't understand, know what I mean?
Coming sideways thinking shit is sweet
Know what I mean, Rule?
Niggas don't understand the four devils
Lust, envy, hate, jealousy
Wicked niggas, yeah
But I'm proud of you my son
All those years of watching us
And you finally did it, on top of the world
But I have one more thing to show you
Ashanti

See, you might think it's so easy to be me
And live this life I live
But they can't see all this pain that I've been through
And that's just how I'm built
'Cause they can't ever take away my shine
And they can't ever take away my pride
And I won't hide behind no tears
'Cause what I know is I'm still here

Now tell me, are you down?
Down for a girl like me
'Cause I don't wanna be
Just another memory
So tell me, are you down?
Down for a girl like me
'Cause I don't wanna be
Just another memory

Now some think that I don't deserve all my status
As if I didn't sweat blood and tears to have it
I grabbed it, so I don't know why they mad at it
I'm flattered 'cause me and my team, we make magic (Magic)
So I'ma keep smiling, remind 'em I'm fine
'Cause I play just to win with this pad and this pen
And this musical army behind me
We won't stop, we can't stop
See, it'll never end

Now tell me, are you down?
Down for a girl like me
'Cause I don't wanna be
Just another memory (I'm still down)
So tell me, are you down?
Down for a girl like me (Uh-huh, uh-huh, I'm still down)
'Cause I don't wanna be (Yeah)
Just another memory

Yo, criminal thoughts in the Cayenne Porsche
Flying high, enough course, I keep a torch
Nigga, get knocked off, if you a snitch, I cross
The T's and dot the I's and I ain't surprised
When them chumps bump their gums and hide
Criticize Ja for that melodic formula
You took Songbird, now you singing on every hook
I'm looking for gorillas but they ain't nowhere to be found
When me and my comrades tear up the town
With a couple of Mossbergs, a few pounds
Throwing back Patróns on the Ninja Cherry Lounge
You can get buried, clown, with the blink of an eye
And your juniors will never be black-tie and, yes, I
Strap up and ride for the princess
The one and only princess, click-bang, she rep that Ink gang
G thang, huh, yeah, and the G is for gangsta
Gangsta spank ya if you try and stop that paper
Ostrich and gators, million dollar diamonds
I'm tryna be laced in, patience and timing is everything
Whenever we bring thirty goons
To any awards show, it pop like balloons
You with the cops making moves, breaking the rules
And the code, let the truth be told
Everything that glitter ain't gold
The records you sold ain't gon' mean shit when I split your top
It's I.N.C. 'til my casket drop

Now tell me, are you down?
Down for a girl like me
'Cause I don't wanna be
Just another memory
So tell me, are you down?
Down for a girl like me
'Cause I don't wanna be
Just another memory

Yeah, yeah
You know what they say
It's either you with us
Or you against us, motherfucker
So be it, know what I mean, Rule?
Uh, Preme
It ain't never gon' stop
You know what I'm saying, BJ?
You know what I'm talking 'bout, Nickels?
Yeah
Shyne, I'm with you, my nigga
Murder I.N.C
