Down For You

[Intro: Haile Supreme] Ooh Ahh [Chorus: Haile Supreme] I will never leave your side Gotta know wrong from right And even if I’m facing time I’m down for you So down I’m down for you So down I’m down for you [Verse 1: Bun B] Man I’ve been down since we linked up in '89 Thought some shit would make a brother heal from it, maybe time But no matter how many years go by, man You know I still cry man, so fuck it, let the tears go It’s better harder for me counting blessings Survivor’s remorse for me fucking with me, had to take it in without the stressing But see, I’m still learning lessons so I’m teaching em A lot of people going through it too, I hope I’m reaching em Murder rate is going up, compassion for your fellow man is going down We don’t have enough love that’s going 'round Queenie lost her sister, Haile almost lost his brother Stop fucking round and make some time out here to love each other The clock is winding down on this chess game Man we need more understanding man and less blame Quit turning your back on your people, time to stay with em Motherfuckers dying at war, I’m trying to pray with em Cause I’m down for you [Chorus: Haile Supreme] So down I’m down for you So down I’m down for you [Verse 2: Bun B] When you wake up in the morning, what are you praying for? And when you plotting for paper, tell me, who are you laying for? Ready to catch him on the blind side But in hindsight, you never know initial times will get your mind right The energy you putting out is coming back to you And thinking that you got away with it just isn’t practical Try to keep it tactical, but you came off task determined You won’t be the first to lose it all or the last to burn I used to only count the wins and not the losses up But that ain’t how we build the bosses up, that system's lost as fuck You gotta have a deeper passion for it and a purpose Cause it’s always more than shit that we be seeing on the surface So when’s it time for you to get called up When you go out on your feet, or somewhere in the corner balled up The way you live your life determines the way they remember you When you don’t need a crew, just a friend that’s down for you [Chorus: Haile Supreme] I will never leave your side Gotta know wrong from right And even if I’m facing time I’m down for you So down I’m down for you So down I’m down for you
