You Ain't Down Lyrics

For one price, for one price, for one price In the whole history of man, in the whole history of man In the whole history of man All the people on this earth are joined by
I don't need your sympathy, your misery is drivin' me insane You got your hands out but I refrain From givin' you a pound you bloody hound You better take heed to 'cuz I don't need you to hang around Now you wasn't cool ever since back when I got jumped You played the punk and ran a sprint See one of us is trippin' but I was just concerned At the time I lost my wallet and you found it Stole my money, then returned it
You used to claim in front of people we were next of kin I never knew that you were sleepin' with my girlfriend And if I did I would've bashed you, maybe thrashed you I never asked you homie, tell me is it true Because I knew you were up to no good Spreadin' rumors on me in the neighborhood Yeah, so let me bring this to my point We ain't friends, we ain't homies and we never shared a joint So you ain't down
(You ain't down) I don't need your sympathy Your simple case of misery has caused me pain (You ain't down with me no more) Yeah, you ain't down
(You ain't down) I don't need your misery 'Cuz mamma said what goes around comes back again (You ain't down with me no more) (You ain't down)
I remember girls in college who was never ever Among these beautiful women was my favorite name Venetta Pain, love and agony, she's all of the above I keep thinkin' to myself, "Oh, I don't wanna fall in love" But oh, Venetta, I read your letter And it gets better as I read on down the lines but in my mind I cannot find out why you wanna diss me Getting me to fall in love with you And just to say you can't be with me (You ain't down)
You're messin' with my head and although it seems Your heart is darker than the night So I'm prepared to use my high beams You had me doin' things silly things Sharin' with you my feelings and in the meantime you was killin' Me softly, hey, women, get off me, you know you lost me Hey, that's what you get for actin' flossy You caused me to open up my eyes and look around I see that we ain't friends, we ain't lovers, we ain't homies, baby You ain't down
(You ain't down) I don't need your sympathy Your simple case of misery has caused me pain (You ain't down with me no more) Yeah, you ain't down
(You ain't down) I don't need your misery 'Cuz mamma said what goes around comes back again (You ain't down with me no more) (You ain't down)
(You ain't down) I don't need your sympathy Your simple case of misery has caused me pain (You ain't down with me no more) Yeah, you ain't down
(You ain't down) I don't need your misery 'Cuz mamma said what goes around comes back again (You ain't down with me no more)
This is dedicated to the kids who ain't crew You ain't never been down so homie ain't no pounds for you You'll never know me so don't you try to show me We can be friends you can now but somehow you did back then Just to be down with me you don't need a change of heart Just change your life and your identity 'Cuz everybody's on my jock tryin' to flag me down When I come around the block It's all the same, the only thing that's changed is
You used to call me puff but now you call me by name You and your friends get no love, sympathy or pain If I gave you the chance then you would diss me again Is it fortune and fame that you persist to be around? I don't wanna see a smile I don't wanna see a frown So now you know that's how it was and that's how it is By the way stay out of my biz 'cuz homie you ain't down
(You ain't down) I don't need your sympathy Your simple case of misery has caused me pain (You ain't down with me no more) Yeah, you ain't down
(You ain't down) I don't need your misery 'Cuz mamma said what goes around comes back again (You ain't down with me no more) (You ain't down)
(You ain't down) I don't need your sympathy Your simple case of misery has caused me pain (You ain't down with me no more) Yeah, you ain't down
(You ain't down) I don't need your misery 'Cuz mamma said what goes around comes back again (You ain't down with me no more) (You ain't down with me)
You ain't down with me You ain't down with me
