K. Jayz - Is You Down? [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
But is you really down?

[Verse 1]
“Aye, dawg, do you remember us?
Do you remember when you told us you don’t give a fuck
About the cops and about the nigga that you said you’d kill?”
“Man, I know if I want to no mo-“
“Nah, nigga, I know you will
Cause if you don’t, you gon’ have to answer to my Glock
And answer to the niggas who runnin' on my block
Don’t even try to run away we gon’ have to shoot ya”
“Man he wanna be a lawyer, fuck his future”
(*Gunshots*)
Now tell me what would you do in that situation
Would you pray to God for salvation?
Or would you rather ride up in ‘em streets
With an AK-47 ready to stop a heartbeat
Either way, no brain activity shown
Whether it’s dumb niggas shooting or getting your brain blown
I’ma ask you again, what is you down for?
Is you down for your life, or you down for war?

[Hook x2]
Gangstas don’t die, they multiply
But in the end, they gon’ watch they own genocide
They can never stay outta the system
Always a statistic
Is you really ready to die?

[Verse 2]
Is you really ready to die?
Is you really ready to be a victim of homicide?
Or are you tryna prove yourself?
Nah, nigga, word of advice:
Save yourself
Don’t get caught up in the gang bangin’ life
You don’t know gang bang until you live on the Westside
You get robbed just for the fuck of it
Your cars, clothes, and jewelry ain’t even the half of it
Amount to something greater than yourself
Stop always looking for bitches, drugs, guns, and wealth
But I know you motherfuckers don’t hear me
Cause heaven forbid that you apply yourself
So while you riding down the road, Glock ready
Remember the same day, your brain could turn to spaghetti
Adios, my nigga, you better count your blessings
Cause one of these days, someone you trust might use a weapon against you

[Interlude - K. Jayz & Kenny's Conscience]
Lord, forgive us our sins
Save us from the fires of hell

[Hook]
