You Ain't Down Lyrics

[spoken]
For one price in the whole history of man
All the people upon this earth are truly..

[rapped]
I don't need your sympathy, your misery is driving me insane
You got your hands out but I refrain from
Givin' you a pound, you bloody hound
You betta take heed, too, cause I don't need you to hang around
Now we wasn't cool ever since
Back when I got jumped you played the punk and ran a sprint
See one of us is trippin' but I was just concerned with
The time I lost my wallet and you found it, stole my money, then returned it.
You used to claim in front of people we were next of kin
I never knew that you were sleepin' with my girlfriend
And if I knew I would've bashed you maybe thrashed you and never asked you
Homie, tell me is it true?
Because I knew that you were up to no good
Spreadin' rumors on me in the neighborhood, yeah
So let me bring this to my point
We ain't friends, we ain't homies and we never shared a joint
So you ain't down.

I don't need your sympathy
Your simple case of misery has causes me pain
Yeah, you ain't down
I don't need your misery
Cause mama says what goes around
Comes back again

I remember girls in college, you was there forever
Among these beautiful women was my favorite named Venetta
Pain, love and agony she's all of the above
I keep thinking to myself oh I don't wanna fall in love
But oh Venetta, I read ya letter and it gets better as I read on down the line
But in my mind
I cannot find out why you wanna diss me
Gettin' me to fall in love with you and just to say you can be with me
You're messin' with my head and though it seems
Your heart is darker than the night so I'm prepared to use my high beams
You had me doin' things, silly things, sharing with you my feelings
When in the meantime you was killing me softly, hey woman get off me
You know you lost me, hey, that's what you get for acting flossy
Caused me to open up my eyes and look around
And see that we ain't friends, we lovers, we ain't homies baby
You ain't down

I don't need your sympathy
Your simple case of misery has causes me pain
Yeah, you ain't down
I don't need your misery
Cause mama says what goes around
Comes back again

This is dedicated to the kids who ain't crew
You ain't never been down, so homie ain't no pounds for you
You'll never know me, so don't you try to show me
We can be friends, we can now, but somehow we did back then
Just to be down with me. You don't need a change of heart
Just change your life and your identity.
Cause everybody's on my jock, tryin' to flag me down when I come around the block.
It's all the same the only thing that's changed is you used to call me "punk"
but now you call my by name.
You and yo friends gets no love, sympathy or pain.
If I gave you the chance, then you would diss me again.
Is it fortune and fame that you persist to be around, I don't wanna see a smile
I don't wanna see a frown.
So now you know that's how it was and that's how it is, by the way stay out of my biz
Cause homie, you ain't down

I don't need your sympathy
Your simple case of misery has causes me pain
Yeah, you ain't down
I don't need your misery
Cause mama says what goes around
Comes back again

You ain't down with me.
You ain't down with meeeeee.
You ain't down.
