[Intro: Irv Gotti]
Yo, this is what they want, huh?
This is what it's all about?
Time to take some nerveless action
N***as just down understand, know I mean?
Comin' sideways thinkin' shit is sweet?
You know I mean, Rule?
N***as don't understand the four devils
Lust
Envy
Hate
Jealousy
Wicked n***as
Yeah
But I'm proud of you, my son
All those years of watchin' us
We finally did it
On top of the world
But I have one more thing to show you
Ashanti!
[Verse 1: Ashanti]
See you might think it's so easy to be me
And live this life I live
But they can't see all this pain that I went through
And that's just how I'm built
'Cause they can't
Ever take away my shine
And they can't
Ever take away my pride and I won't hide behind no tears
'Cause what I know
Is I'm still here
[Chorus: Ashanti]
Now tell me are you down?
Down for a girl like me
'Cause I don't wanna be
Just another memory
Said tell me are you down?
Down for a girl like me
'Cause I don't wanna be
Just another memory
[Verse 2: Ashanti]
Now somethin' that I don't deserve on my status
As if I didn't sweat, blood and tears to have it
And grab this so I don't know why they mad at it
And ??? 'cause me and my team we make magic
So I'ma keep smilin', my minds, my focus, I played
Just to win with this pad and this pen and this musical
Army, behind me, we won't stop, we can't stop
See it'll never rain
[Chorus: Ashanti & Caddillac Tah]
Now tell me are you down?
Down for a girl like me
'Cause I don't wanna be
Just another memory
(I'm still down)
Said tell me are you down?
Down for a girl like me
(Uh huh, uh hun, still down)
'Cause I don't wanna be
Just another memory
[Cadillac Tah]
Yeah
Yo, criminal thoughts in the Cayenne Porsche
Flyin' highin' of course, I keep a torch, n***a get knocked off
If you a snitch, I cross the T's and dot the I's and I ain't surprised when them chumps bump they gums then hide
Criticize Ja for that melodic formula you took songbird
Now you singin' on every hook
I'm lookin' for gorillas but they ain't nowhere to be found
When me and my comrades tear up the town
Wit a couple of Mossbergs, a few pounds
Throwin' back Patron zone [?] cherry lounge
You can get buried clown
With the blink of an eye
And your juniors'll never be Black Tah and yes I
Strap up and ride for the princess
The one and only princess, click bang she with that Inc. gang
G thang, huh, yeah
And the G is for gangsta
Gangsta, spank ya, if you tryna stop that paper
I stretch your [?]
Million dollar diamonds, I'm tryna be laced in
Patience and timin' is everything
Whenever we bring 30 goons
To any award show, it pop like balloons
You wit the cops makin' moves breakin' the rules and the code
Let the truth be told, everything that glitter ain't gold
The records you sold ain't gon' mean shit when I split cha top
It's I.N.C. till my casket drop
[Chorus: Ashanti]
Now tell me are you down?
Down for a girl like me
'Cause I don't wanna be
Just another memory
Said tell me are you down?
Down for a girl like me
'Cause I don't wanna be
Just another memory
[Outro: Irv Gotti]
Yeah, yeah
Know what they say
It's either you wit us, or you against us motherfucker
So be it, know I mean, Rule
Uh
Preme
It ain't never gon' stop
Know I'm sayin' BJ?
Know what I'm talkin' bout nickels?
Yeah
Shyne
I'm wit'chu my n***a
Murda I.N.C
