Title: Are You Down?

Lyrics Are You Down?

[Danny:] Yo, Jordan! What's up?
[Jordan:] Hey Danny! What's happening?
Oh, here comes little Joey Joe down the street
[Joe:] Ho! What's happenin' fellas?
[Jordan:] Yo, there's Jon, but has anyone seen Donnie?
[Danny:] I don't know, but I thought I saw him walking down towards the corner store.
[Joe:] Nah, he's at the park playing ball
[Jon:] Oh, here he comes now
[ad libbed greetings]
[Donnie:] Hey guys!
[Danny:] Where have you been?
[Donnie:] Man, I've got a story to tell!
[All:] HIT IT!

[Donnie:]
Saw a homegirl at the corner store
Eyes started bugging, my mouth fell to the floor
She had a miniskirt and a sexy pose
I tried to rap to her, but I just froze
Tell me now fellas, what can I do?
To make a girl like me, the way like a girl likes you?

[Danny:] Well Homeboy get ready!
[Joe:] 'Cause you want correcting
[Jordan:] 'Cause a girl needs love
[All:] And plenty of affection

[Jon:] If a girl were mine, I'd give her the world
I'd buy her diamonds and pearls just to make her my girl

[Jordan:] That might work with your girl, but not with mine.
She's not the type of girl to fall for any line

[Joe:] I'd take her out to dinner, treat her like a winner
I might be young, but I'm no beginner

[Danny:] All your ways are good, but not as good as mine
You have to be sincere for a girl that fine!

Baby, won't you please be mine?
Are you down?
Baby, won't you please be mine?
Are you down? Huh!

[Danny:] Alright then, D., since you gave it a try
[All:] Tell us about the girl who caught your eye

[Donnie: ]
It was after school and I was feeling cool
'Til I saw that girl and I started to drool
So I thought to myself, take it easily
I couldn't let peer pressure get the best of me
I thought to myself, what should I do?
That's when she came up on me and said 'I love you'

[Donnie:] Who me?
[All:] Yeah, you!
[Donnie:] Couldn't be!
[All:] But it's true!

[Donnie:] So I rushed back home to tell you guys,
But not before I got a quick kiss goodbye!

[All:] Did you meet her friends?
[Donnie:] Yeah, they looked def.
[All:] Yo, that was fresh!
[Donnie:] Word! Let's go left.
[Jordan:] So here goes the keys
[Joe:] On which it depends
[Jordan:] She's got
[Joe:] One!
[Jordan:] Two!
[Danny:] Three!
[Jon:] Four!
[All:] Fresh girlfriends!

Baby, won't you please be mine?
Are you down?
Baby, won't you please be mine?
Are you down? Huh!

Are you down?
Are you down?
[repeat 5x]

Baby, won't you please be mine?
Are you down?
Baby, won't you please be mine?
Are you down? Huh!

Are you down?
Are you down?
[repeat 1x]

[All:] Joey Joe!
[Joe:] Nimble and quick.
You have to be def to be down with my clique

[All:] Jordy K!
[Jordan] The king, the one who rocks.
I’m the one who’s always cool and chillin’ on the block.

[All:] Jon!
[Jon:]You know I've got the style
When I come into a party all the girls go wild

[All:] Danny D!
[Danny:] The prince! Make no mistake.
I'm the MC devastating. So cool and I break.(dance)

[All:] Don-nie!
[Donni]e: That's me, don't give me no slack!
I get loose with the juice, 'cause I got it like that

[Ad lib]

[Jordan:] Here we go!
