Two drunken poets as the first shots hit My man don't duck quick and gets hit in the chest I just got nicked cos i had on the vest Now i'm dashin, cars in the garage Run past the path'. run past the dodge Rumble for the keys, made it to my sh** The ak can spray now n***as is gettin hit, "is you down, n***a?" Are you down for the real? Chorus: Are you down for the real, motherf**ers?, "is you down, n***a?" Are you down for the real..............? , "is you down, n***a?" Now are you down with the real a** n***as? , "is you down, n***a?" Now tell me if you're down for the real? , "is you down, n***a?" *repeat* "is you down, n***a?" (x10)
