Esham - Dyin' To Be Down Lyrics
Way back in the day,in 1987People used to say I wouldn't make it to heaven1987 was the year of the trickMutha*****as talkin shit cause they was illegitI used to hang out at the park and kick it with the fellasBehind my back they talkin shit just because their jealousNiggas used to diss me sayin I was a suckaBut that girl you all in love with....I *****ed herNigga be dissin me but he can't seeHe takin care of a ***** who baby look like meBut I can't tell him nothin,he'll think that I'm jealousI got more *****es holdin on my dick than Perry EllisNigga didn't know what I was all aboutI got cold dissed when I was down and outBefore you called me a sucka and now you wanna be downWhen I was broke you wasn't comin aroundNow people give me my props all over townBut niggas like you still dyin to be down[chorus]Dyin to be down means simply thisYou don't jock a nigga that you already dissedAnd when you start jockin him then he's knowinYou're nothin but a sucka punk ass hoe andA ***** ass nigga jumpin on the bandwagonYou'll get kicked in your ass like the last dragonD-y-i-n-g to be d-o-w-n my friendNo way that we could ever be coolI'm takin all punk ass niggas to schoolBut, school is out and there's no doubt in my mindYou wouldn't set me up or drop a dimeOnce a punk ass nigga always oneAnd you been a punk ass nigga in more ways than oneExcept you keep comin around cuz niggas like you ain't downYou're dyin to be down[chorus]How can I be down is all I hearBut ***** Esham was the slogan last yearNow you got a new one,thinkin you gon' do oneGo put a dick in your booty and screw oneCause you can't screw meI don't care if you boo meBut in my face I won't allow you to do meTo be down or not to be down is the questionYou'll never be down so don't come aroundDreamin to be downSchemin to be downLike Captain Kirk I'll be beamin your black ass downAin't no ifs,ands or buts or maybesYou're like a dog with rabies who tried to play meBut you can't fade me so how that soundYou're just another punk nigga...dyin to be down
