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) 
R U Still Down, to raise em up? 
R U Still Down, to raise em up? Remember me (repeat 3X) 
R U Still Down, to raise em up? 
That's right y'all, give them bitches the motherfuckin middle finger 
RAISSSSE em up 
These hoes can't fade me, don't these bitches know we crazy? 
Thug Life, niggaz, be, the sickest 
You feel me? Now get that shit written down 
God damn! 
Took four years and a motherfuckin case for these motherfuckers to

Ain't that a bitch? 
R U Still motherfucking down? 
Old hoe ass fake ass niggaz 
We out this motherfucker
