[Esham]
Way back in the day,in 1987
People used to say I wouldn`t make it to heaven
1987 was the year of the trick
Muthafuckas talkin shit cause they was illegit
I used to hang out at the park and kick it with the fellas
Behind my back they talkin shit just because their jealous
Niggas used to diss me sayin I was a sucka
But that girl you all in love with....I fucked her
Nigga be dissin me but he can`t see
He takin care of a bitch who baby look like me
But I can`t tell him nothin,he`ll think that I`m jealous
I got more bitches holdin on my dick than Perry Ellis
Nigga didn`t know what I was all about
I got cold dissed when I was down and out
Before you called me a sucka and now you wanna be down
When I was broke you wasn`t comin around
Now people give me my props all over town
But niggas like you still dyin to be down
[chorus]
Dyin to be down means simply this
You don`t jock a nigga that you already dissed
And when you start jockin him then he`s knowin
You`re nothin but a sucka punk ass hoe and
A pussy ass nigga jumpin on the bandwagon
You`ll get kicked in your ass like the last dragon
D-y-i-n-g to be d-o-w-n my friend
No way that we could ever be cool
I`m takin all punk ass niggas to school
But, school is out and there`s no doubt in my mind
You wouldn`t set me up or drop a dime
Once a punk ass nigga always one
And you been a punk ass nigga in more ways than one
Except you keep comin around cuz niggas like you ain`t down
You`re dyin to be down
[chorus]
How can I be down is all I hear
But fuck Esham was the slogan last year
Now you got a new one,thinkin you gon` do one
Go put a dick in your booty and screw one
Cause you can`t screw me
I don`t care if you boo me
But in my face I won`t allow you to do me
To be down or not to be down is the question
You`ll never be down so don`t come around
Dreamin to be down
Schemin to be down
Like Captain Kirk I`ll be beamin your black ass down
Ain`t no ifs,ands or buts or maybes
You`re like a dog with rabies who tried to play me
But you can`t fade me so how that sound
You`re just another punk nigga...dyin to be down
