Rbgs, rbgs, nigga it's dat rbgs

Rbgs, rbgs, nigga it's dat rbgs

Tell me are you down? when it's goin down

You got to hold it down, don't talk it hold it down

Tell me are you down? when it's goin down

You got to hold it down, when it's goin down

Have you ever had a lesson from a og?

From a nigga that's been in the war

Been locked up longer than i been on the earth

And his crime is defendin the poor

And they can tell you bout death, tell you bout life

But most of all they tell you bout sacrifice

And they can tell if a woman aint with you when you down

Cuz she never really could be your wife

What it mean to be d-o-w-n?

Is ya homies still down when it's trouble you in?

You wanna have a good time make it hot when the pigs come down on the block

Would they fuck wit you then?

Now you wanna get high wit me, organize wit me

Start a clothes drive then maybe we can start a fire

Where my rbgs? my guerillas wit a g-u-e

Don't got a i-ching homey get free

Who number 1 when we ride? we follow the plan

And there's a role for every man

With a chain of command even when the shit hit the fan

Anything get outta hand we still stand

To me bein down mean more than bein friends, or kin
