Is U Down
PVRX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't judge me 'cause I'm on the bus
I grind so hard and I know your friend tellin' you to cut but I'm onto somethin'
Prolly thought I storied up
Told you I'ma move you out, now look, you like forty stories up
So tell me how you feelin' now?
I know this gonna make you cry, no other nigga make you cry
Look, I appreciate you, I do
If you down for the come up
'Cause you know you gon' wanna be around when my funds up
Is you down for the come up?
'Cause you know you gon' wanna be around when my funds up
Baby girl, you know I'm out here grindin', believe it
Wish you was around me to see it
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
You wasn't wit' me (at all) when the precinct tried to come and get me
Bail was like a hunnid fifty, ain't wanna eat, my stomach empty
Love? I wanted plenty, couldn't get it
Boots too tight, them shoes couldn't fit it, remember that life so vivid
Supposed to been my shorty, keep my balance on my pivot
Wasn't in the gym, won't never score and that ain't just no metaphor
How you expect a meal when I couldn't even get a plate?
I used to try to take you out, I couldn't even get a date
I'm too busy now, don't know when I'll be free, can't get a break
It's pounds of weed around, reminiscin' like I can't get an eighth
We used to hop the turn-style, now I might go pick up a Wraith
Leave you lookin' stupid, baby girl, now go pick up your face
In order for you to come up, you just gotta stay down
I got up out the hood, officer, I ain't in y'all way now
Called you a hunnid times today, they chased me through the playground
Even gave you a knot to go out of town on that Greyhound
Is you down for the come-up?
'Cause you know you gon' wanna be around when my funds up
Is you down for the come-up?
'Cause you know you gon' wanna be around when my funds up
What you dealin' with?
His and hers at the dealership
Hah, now you smilin', gon' catch a body when I'm killin' it
I just love us, grindin', sun's up
Ridin' 'til I'm under
So tell me now, is you down for the come-up?
Ride in my Honda, ride wit' it on her
Hoppin' out the car and her body like trabomba (clat)
Loyal to the bone, I'm a dog
She gang? Yeah, I met her in the projects
She my lil' ma, I could slide with
Runnin' from the law, watch for sirens
You know I'm around if you need me, anything you want, girl, I got it
Look, I'ma see the plug, stash the profit
The money in the bank, cash deposit
Ooh, is you ridin' 'til the wheels fall off, girl?
I need to know
Is you down for the come-up?
'Cause you know you gon' wanna be around when my funds up
Is you down for the come-up?
'Cause you know you gon' wanna be around when my funds up
Baby girl, you know I'm out here grindin', believe it
Wish you was around me to see it
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh

I'm going to meet the supplier, and save some of the money
The money in the bank, cash deposit
I'm going to put the rest of the money in the bank
Ooh, is you ridin' 'til the wheels fall off, girl?
Will you stick by me no matter what happens, girl?
