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
