Ups and Downs Lyrics by Skatterman & Snug Brim

Word on tha Streets

2008

[Intro: Snug Brim]
Yea, when your money up everybody smiling, you know what I'm saying?
Your family doing good, your niggas around you, you smoking good weed, drinking good beer, whiskey and all that good shit
But when you down and out, where them niggas at, man?
What yo bitch talking 'bout, is she on your heels, because you ain't got you money, you money ain't right?
You gotta stay real to the game, it's real life out here
[Chorus: Skatterman]
They love you when you up, they fuck you when you down
When the money roll in everybody come around
But when you fall off them motherfuckers disappear
Let's see who with you when you doing all them fucking years
They love when you up, they fuck you when you down
When the money roll in everybody be around
But when you fall off them motherfuckers disappear
They say they riding but your niggas get to switching gears
[Verse 1: Skatterman]
The question is do she love you or she love you not?
Do she love your stash, or do she love your drops?
Or do she love the way you got the club and bottle pop, or love the couple thou that you just spent on that Mavado watch?
You never can tell, till the money get low and you get sent to a cell
Then her mouth get slicker, and her attitude switch, and you looking at your lady like, "Who's this bitch?"
And your friends ain't no better all them fake ass fucks, yea it's all little homie while the rims one the truck
When you're down on your luck, naw you ain't got a dollar on you
If his ass was on fire dawg I wouldn't pour no water on him
They'd rather see you on a bus line, smoking on a crack pipe starving on his lunch time
I know y'all waiting on a punchline, but you the only that got your back when it's crunch time
[Chorus: Skatterman]
They love you when you up, they fuck you when you down
When the money roll in everybody come around
But when you fall off them motherfuckers disappear
Let's see who with you when you doing all them fucking years
They love when you up, they fuck you when you down
When the money roll in everybody be around
But when you fall off them motherfuckers disappear
They say they riding but your niggas get to switching gears
[Verse 2: Snug Brim]
It ain't about the money, it's about the friends
How everybody come around when there's something to spend
But when you broke, even your bitch'll bottle bouncing
Some of your closest wasn't there when you was copping ounces
Soon as you cop that new thing, they on ya ding ding
Your neck and [?], must have them green things
But they don't know what you when through to get your paper right
Girl on your heels, babies crying, I hustle every night
So how you owe somebody something, you taking a risk?
Paying attention, real get filthy nigga, just take the chips
Why is y'all acting like I've changed now I'm blowing change
You made that we matching the shoes, you made at my change
Or is you made cause I don't fuck with you simple and plain
It ain't my fault that you was soft and went against the green
I never rolled over and switched from G to lame
I kept my hard hat on and respected the game
[Chorus: Skatterman]
They love you when you up, they fuck you when you down
When the money roll in everybody come around
But when you fall off them motherfuckers disappear
Let's see who with you when you doing all them fucking years
They love when you up, they fuck you when you down
When the money roll in everybody be around
But when you fall off them motherfuckers disappear
They say they riding but your niggas get to switching gears
[Verse 3: Skatterman]
So this your ride or die nigga?
Trust with life down to split a pie nigga?
You wonder why nigga? He will hit the court stand raise his to testify nigga
In love and war all is fair, when you sitting on the top they wanna knock you off your square
So be ready for the change-up, every time the po's ask a question brought your name up
[Verse 4: Snug Brim]
Not everybody able but some do what they can do, and some got a 9-5, and some get it in Rock port boots
Some of these niggas just around you cause you got the smoke
Some of these pussies come around they no you got the coke
Since I been in it I plan to win it, tucking my cheddar
Laughing at you suckas, ducking cops, heat up under my leather
G since I came out the trap thing, stop for something for I hit you with a 9 for my new weapon
[Chorus: Skatterman]
They love you when you up, they fuck you when you down
When the money roll in everybody come around
But when you fall off them motherfuckers disappear
Let's see who with you when you doing all them fucking years
They love when you up, they fuck you when you down
When the money roll in everybody be around
But when you fall off them motherfuckers disappear
They say they riding but your niggas get to switching gears
