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
