If U Down - Yu, Drew Kid

The rain is pouring, pain is going on in my life

That’s why I write, same reason why drinkers go buy a pint

Dark clouds attack the light that is within me

Struggle is neverending, prayer is what some recommend me

I’m 5'9, but when I rhyme feel like I’m 10 feet tall

Laying the law through these bars, I put my life’s call

Many be dumb downed clowns, see I don’t like y’all

Hit them with the permanent pause, what do you fight for?

Your car, your chain, it’s all the same

You call it game, boring my brain, them fraudulent ways

I can’t feel what you’re saying, cuz the balance is off

Faking like you don’t have a heart wit all the violence you talk

It’s like you can’t crack a smile anymore, I guess its got to be war

24/7 weapons got to squeeze off, nigga nahh

That is a plan within a plan, my man

Destruction is in demand and Uncle Sam is a fan

Hearts frozen, why do we stay on that cold shit?

We used to be cultured, influenced by the vultures

They’ve been scoping, analyzing with a motive

It’s like we’ve been tied up with an invisible rope and them

Jails open, they get paid when they put more inside

Kind of currupt, it’s time for us to just expose them

It’s wild, especially when your skintone’s brown

But right now we about to turn it around

You with me?

Hit me if you down

Of course I’ve walked with what my ancestors fought for

Heart full of passion, want more, start at ground floor

Still remain because of y’all we make it sound raw

I thank Allah, for me to try to paint a song

That is a cure till the pain is gone

Fruits of my labor may be ripe cuz I’ve been waiting for them

Seems like a lifelong task, walking on this path

Many be cheating, but my dad, he was a honest man

Plus about his cash, getting it because he worked hard

And to my moms, they call it labor, that was work y’all

Since birth searched the earth for what I’m worth.

Money?

It’s paperweight, cannot equate to what my life study

Has told me, go beyond all the stars up in the sky

The gift of rhymes, that is the place I chose to emphasize

Just a sign, maybe my light is not fading

I was born to shine greatly, on the rise trying to break free

Hit me, if you’re down and out, wild is not the route you need to be taking

Niggas be waiting to throw they hate in, frustration be incubating

Inside, times are tense so I write rhymes with sense

Why?

Because there’s not too many of y’all that’s doing this

My influences came before they ruined this, foolishness

Ringtone, computer chip, champ, I’m not new to this

I prove what I say through the way that I relay

I don’t break, standing time’s test and making that progress

And I’m on my job, yes indeedy y’all greedy

While I got less, make it sound monstrous, break it down in portion

It all fit together, I remember my beginnings

While I’m winning, cuz forgetting brings the ending close

Folks forget, get on some brand new shit

The movements still in motion like Munch and Matthew and them

Ups?

I’ve had a few of them, downs I’ve had too

But whenever I think of my mission I feel I have to ascend

Fin

Uh uh, hit me if you down

Ooh ooh, I’ll be around

Hey!
