unknown

From Light it Up soundtrack


Uh, it's that real shit yo
Grrr!

1 - Can't stop
Gotta eat
Stepping on, my feet
Spread love, think it's sweet
Uh, uh, uh all you catz don't know

Repeat 1

Yeah baby, shit's about to jump off and
Lookin' for the bus to bring in my man from up north
Been like three years since when got knocked
Since he got caught
Punked up like five new blocks, holding down for it
Kept a nigga straight with money in the books
And them bitches is crooks who look out for other crooks
Took him shopping, money in his pocket is straight
Dropped him off at the wife's crib after we ate
Our estate was the next move for me
Had to make that nigga chill for at least two to three months
Cause when it's on, it's on
He didn't care
It's like slow down baby
The money ain't going nowhere
Keep in touch though and show how much your ass is with it
The dope flow is there and in a minute you can get it (come on)
You gotta watch a nigga just coming home in a game
Cause on the low we may just be trying to go against the grain

Repeat 1 (2x)

I never figured this nigga would pull this shit that he pulled
What is strange is the change that niggaz go through
When they're locked down and really can't hack it
A motherfucker like me handles a bid like a jacket
Strap it on my back, niggaz ain't built like me
And by the end, niggaz was like 'Yo, why you killed Mike, D?'
Wasn't me, but yeah he had it coming to him
Used to be my dog, so I let my cousin do him
Sent him out of state with like half a brick down to my spot in VA
Cause the money comes quick
Half of that got fucked up before I even got the check in on him (damn)
But things happen so I really wasn't wreckin' on him (damn)
Got him up out of there and sent him down a little further
Ain't heard from him in two months, murder, murder
And from the next flight thinking I might have to steal something
This hungry shit will make a nigga wanna kill something (come on)

Repeat 1 (2x)

Listen, money is missing and it's hectic (what?)
Found the safe, checked it
Shit looks detected (what?)
Just what I expected when I got no word from him
Asked around but ain't nobody heard from him (uh-huh)
But money talks and most niggaz is snakes
So it wasn't long before his man was ready to take
Me to where he was at, checked my gat
Threw in a four clip, pumped myself up
Cause I can't go for that bullshit (come on)
Fuckin' with my last load of cash ain't the issue
It's just real fucked up when your man tries to diss you
Takin' back for niggaz in New York and how they told me so
Now I got to knock his boots, he owes me dough
Layin' up with a hoe, then he hit me with the sob story (come on)
The famous 'Oh you didn't know I got robbed!' story (come on)
Told it's to me he should be grateful to
Fuck that bitch! Look at what she made you do
Now there's love lost and a double cross
Pointed at that bitch, turned her braids into sauce
So you wanna be with him (uh) and talk to me like I'm silly (yeah)
Five bottle of Mo on the floor, boxes of phillys (uh)
Ten g's in the shoebox under the bed
And for every g I put a fuckin' slug in his head
And from then, the moral of the story if you missed it
Is the grand is always gonna be there
Just never go against it

Repeat 1 (2x)

You cats must not know

Gotta have that.....uh,uh,uh

Chours:
I will rob and steal witcha' , dog nigga what
Ride till we die, on till it's up
Thick like blood, where's my dogs ,uh, there's my dogs
Repeat(1x)

Now who i am is who i'll be until i die, either accept it or don't fuck with
It
But if we gon' be dogs then you stuck with it!
Let me go my way but walk with me
See what i see, watch me then, talk with me.
Share my pain, make it a little easier to deal with it
Cause despite all the fame you i'm a keep it real with it (true)!
Rob and steal withcha' dog nigga what
Ride till we die, on till it's up.
Love is love and i enjoy the love,
But when it's conflict then it destroys the love.
You can't toy with love, niggas take to the heart
You ain't gon' find too many niggas willing to, bark in the dark.(come on!)
Keep your head from the start, don't fuck it up now,
Later on they be hit like, fuck it how??
You my dog and i die for you, keep it like that,
Give me unconditional love, and i give it right back.

Chours: repeat 2x

Most niggas make movies, but niggas like us make it happen'
The shit we used to do never thought we would make it rappin'.
But now we here, at the same place at the same time,
And got jokes cause now niggas get it, with the same rhyme.
Yeah niggas is living comfortable, cause life is all good
But one thing we must remember, is that life is all hood.
And the casket's all wood and we all take there one day,(shit)
Shit today is sunday we both can be there on monday.
Life is funny like that, what bug the fuck out,
Sometimes i take it to the church in terms of thug the fuck out.
Niggas get dropped the fuck out they boots, violatin' families rules
Motherfucker stay in your shoes!
Now see what you need to do, is chill shorty
'body please come and get him before i, kill shorty.
I will do for my niggas as they would do for me
Bust a faggot like you for free.
Come on!

Chours: repeat 2x

I'm always surrounded by dogs, for the love
Only niggas i fuck wit is thugs nigga what.
Blood in blood out ???? homes,???? homes
When we smoke them chromes, and how we broke them bones.
While the last niggas is ass niggas,
The skimask niggas to trash niggas they ass niggas pussy.
And half you cats can't even flow,
And when i hear y'all niggas around my head, well you know.
But that's a whole 'nother issuse, right now we own this
We keep spittin' like this, how the fuck we gon' miss?
Cause the camp is strong, and the stamp is strong
Double love motherfucker keep the casketes flowing.
You done got yourself, caught up in some shit you can't handle
And you know i can't stand you, you'r man too.
This one time i'ma letta dog be a dog,
But i'ma see you in the ringing when it's on then it's on.

Chorus: repeat 2x

Dog nigga what?
On till it's up
Where's my dog?
Uh,uh there's my dog.(repeat 1x)

Posionous darts sickening, best believe
Finger itchin with two broke legs, now i'm trippin
On mc's cliche, shot that ricochets
Start trouble bust bubbles, hip to wicked ways
Gotta love me, g-o-d no one above me
Look good but fuck ugly, tap your jaw
From my punch, watch your son and you
Got you shittin in your last huggie, runnin who?
Fuckin punk, get a speed bump comin through
A single shot make your knees knock, respect wu

[redman]
Aiyyo i put it on a nigga, shit it on a nigga
Turnin christian to a certified sinner
The bomb i release, time pent up (explodes)
While you got set up i was hittin your ex hoe
Shit i kept low, petro' your metro
Politic, keep the chickenheads gobblin
Shit i'm drivin in, come with funk halogen
Terrorize your city, from the spliff committee
Kick ass till both timberlands turn shitty
Gritty, smack the driver's head in the chin see
When i approach rappers be takin notes
I drop like i shoulda invented the raincoat
Absolut, i love to burn to the roots
I keep comin til your pour sperm from your boots
Vigilante hardcore to the penis
Tell you fuck you my attitude is anemic

[canibus]
I'm the illest nigga alive, watch me prove it
I snatch your crown witcha head still attatched to it
Canibus is the type who'll fight for mics
Beatin niggaz to death and beatin dead niggaz to life
When you look at me long enough, i start to read your thoughts
If the signal was strong enough, and then i'll call your bluff
Like, "yo, how many rhymes you got?" i think i'll go on
For more milleniums than mazda's got on the car lot
And there's nowhere to run ta, when i confront ya
Nigga, i call your bluff like you had a phone number
Who wanna see canibus get wild, who wanna act fly and
Get shot down with a surface-to-air missile
I take em on in all shapes sizes and forms and spit on
Anybody who ain't close enough to shit on
Zero to sixty? i'm already doin a hundred
When i'm blunted and i give it to any nigga that want it

[dmx]
Stay out the dark, cause if i catch you when the sun is down
Run it clown, come up off that, or i'm gon' gun it down
When in doubt, however skull goes, it's gon' be that
See that, that shit'll finish you dawg, believe that
Where we at, do your value your life, as much as your possesions?
Don't be a stupid nigga, learn a lesson
I'm gon' get you either way, and it's better to live
Let me get what's between your sock, cause it's, better to give
Than receive, believe what i say when i tell you
Don't make me put your somewhere where nobody'll smell you
And when the lights is out, they don't come back on
This ain't a flick you ain't gon' come back on, you ain't that strong
You knew it was wrong, but you asked for it baby
You'se a pink nigga, ski mask for it baby
So i can hit you up on front teeth, you think i'm sweet?
Want heat? one deep, leave him behind, front seat

[redman] aiyyo, one [meth] two [red] three [meth] four

[redman] come on mr. smith, come get some!

[ll cool j]
When young sons fantasize of borrowing flows
Tell little shorty with the big mouth the bank is closed (yeah, word up)
The symbol on my arm is off limits to challengers
You hold the rusty swords i swing the excalibur
How dare you step up in my dimension
Your little ass should be somewher cryin on detention
Watch your mouth better yet hold your tongue
I'ma do this shit for free this time this one's for fun
Blow you to pieces, leave you covered in feces
With one thesis ("ll cool j is hard")
Every little boy wanna pick up the mic
And try to run with the big boys and live up to the real hype
But that's like pickin up a ball, playin with mike
Swingin at ken griffey or challengin roy to a fight
Snappin, you ameteur mc's
Don't you know i'm like the dream team tourin overseas
For rappers in my circle i'm a deadly disease
Ringmaster, bringin a tiger cub to his knees (uhh)
In the history of rap they've never seen such prominence
Your naive confidence gets crushed by my dominance (word up)
Now let's get back to this mic on my arm
If it ever left my side it'd transform into a time bomb
You don't wanna borrow that, you wanna idolize
And you don't wanna make me mad nigga you wanna socalize
And i'm daring every mc in the game
To play yourself out position, and mention my name
I make a rhyme for every syllable in your name
Go platinum for every time your grimy ass was on the train
Watch your mouth don't ever step out of line
Ll cool j nigga, greatest of all time

Intro: Styles:
What! Niggaz can't fuck with us
DMX:
Get at me dog. My niggaz
Styles:
That's my word!

Verse One: DMX

I'm the type to kick back and look at shit,
'cause crooked shit gets me amped
And what you don't know, will get you locked in sleep away camp.
Grand champ and raise more hell, than a Sorrel
See you at the peephole, bustin' at the doorbell
Though I wasn't coming without mine
You put me on the front line because you doubt mine
Bet your and lost yours, you come to get your I tossed yours
And it cost yours, fuck y'all niggaz stupid, I'm the boss dog
What more dirt must I do, plus my crew
Busts at you, and you be like "What's that oooh"
What's that Clue, do I bring the noise what
Destroy these mutts, is these niggaz toys or what
Bring all the pretty niggaz thinking they shitty, what a pity
Lemme show them niggaz shitty some pity, but for fifty
A motherfucker will get a bullet to hum to him, put the gun to him
Hit 'em with something that comes to him, bet it runs through him
Look at what I done to him, no more smiles
Got the whole top half of his head, running wild
But you don't hear me though, so I turn out the lights
We can take it to the streets dog, turn off the mics
If you want war, then you want more, than you can stand
And this 44, will leave you with your dick in the sand
Who the man, and now you cats know for real
Get at me dog, (bark), what the deal

Verse Two: Styles

Y'all niggaz fucking with the L.O.X.
Your stuck on a rock
Got that Alcatraz flow
You just don't know
Lifetime kid caged in blazin'
Any type of rapper or federal agent
Paniro the made man, blade man
Stand up type of guy, your living a lie
Niggaz wanna be pretty and fly but kiddies will die
The dogs run the city, bet fifty on mine
Two grams for you to sniff, how silly am I
Got a lot of jokes don't, kill yo ass won't I
Maybe not if the spot is filled up with po 9
Many niggaz get it confused, blame the rules
Only ask the how's not the who's
Better off busting your tool, then we might get the crew
But as far as rap goes, you a motherfucking fool
If you don't want chips, you should have stayed in school
You and 8-ball nigga, you wanna play pool
I'll put you in the side pocket, look at the size of my rocket
Styles don't lie, cop the work then clock it
Boxes full of boots, jeans, suits and watches
Niggaz don't pump if they can't make a profit
Stop it, before we pull it back then cop it
Vacant lot niggaz come through then we lock it
(WHAT, WHAT, WHAT)

Verse Three: Jadakiss

With no glocks I'm in your town with five locks
Take five blocks, come back with five trucks, with knots
It's the L.O.X, three niggaz that listen and watch
And nigga you know, whenever we spit, it's hot
It be that new flow, my niggaz, fly niggaz
Always high niggaz, ready to die niggaz
As far as I'm hearing, y'all doing a lot of comparing
Lemme get the one clearance like a sample
'Kiss is the champ and I know that you don't wanna get stamped
Left somewhere cramp, so when it rains, you get damp
Niggaz is done, since poppy raised his son
When bringing in drums, to bring all g's to bums
Whether you can flow or not ain't the issue
You don't Jay to kiss you, his lyrics pierce the gristle
Take a puff then a swig
Think about how I'm gonna
hold it down for Big, my motherfucking nig
Your money is low, and your flow been late
While I be coming through with new shit with tint plates
The only higher than money, is respect
The only thing hotter than my click, is a tek
So when I hit you with these last bars around your neck
You gonna know never to fuck around with L-O-X nigga
(WHAT, YEAH)

Verse Four: Sheek Luchion

My bank account be doubling
While you niggaz stay in trouble and
L.O.X. stay fly
Three niggaz jig-I
Shit you never seen before, Feds hit the repo law
Kingpin, 10 mil. each of us popular
It's Sheek baby
Chicks hate to see me on the Soul Train
With Don Cornelius
And all they got is alias
To work with
To catch Sheek, y'all niggaz besta work quick
Now that I'm eating right, plus living well
So nowadays when I burp, it's fettucini you smell
Ain't that right poppa-san, used to push a Nissan
With a black master full 850 full suspension
While you collect your pension, I ain't worked in years
My stomach is fat from Puerto Rican food, while yours is scarce
Small black haired, chinky-eyed Puerto Rican mama
Keep them laced in the scadda, half the closet on product
I learn things, just by watching y'all niggaz make the wrong moves
Now I know what not to do, to make more than y'all fools
Y'all think we ignorant, 'cause we don't budge unless we benefit
Cats that take the light that's scarce and see what's at the end of it
P.H. me, because a nigga wisks me up in Jake B.
Your shit be so-so, low pro.
On a bus before the cars show
On some old joystick shit, no mirrors
I can see behind me through the cameras
Flip plates, make the whole block go bananas

[darkness]
Ain't no sunshine
When it's gone
Only darkness
Everyday, ain't no sunshine when it's on
Cause when it's on
Niggaz know to be gone, everytime cuz we don't play
Ain't no sunshine
When it's gone
Only darkness
Everyday, ain't no sunshine when it's on
Cause when it's on
Niggaz know to be gone, everytime cuz we don't play


[dmx]
Who turned out the lights, is what niggaz be sayin'
Now you don't wanna fight, is what niggaz be playin'
thinkin' it'z alright
When you playin' in that road
But your gonna know tonight, when you're layin' in that whole
Dirt is gettin' tossed in your face, and now it's all over
Niggaz said you wuz brave, but now it's all over
Jus one of the many, plenty, i dun gave it to
Ain't no savin' you
No matter how many tears yo moms cry
Ain't gon bring yo ass back, trust in hell you gonna fry
Why? right now, the only two relative questions
Is do we bury him or burn him?
Any suggestions?
Either way you out of here for god
Now when niggaz mentionin' your name, they are knockin' on wood
Did i
Get my
Point across
Another body on the shotty
Another joint i toss

[darkness]
Ain't no sunshine
When it's gone
Only darkness
Everyday, ain't no sunshine when it's on
Cause when it's on
Niggaz know to be gone, everytime cuz we don't play
Ain't no sunshine
When it's gone
Only darkness
Everyday, ain't no sunshine when it's on
Cause when it's on
Niggaz know to be gone, everytime cuz we don't play

[dmx]
Ain't no sunshine, when the dark man comes out
I want mine, so i plan to keep my gun out
We got four nines, four niggaz run in and run out
Well i bust mines, cuz i'd like to hear some shouts
Get at me dog!
Niggaz know, i wuz goin' dizzy,
When it comes to dat flow, i getz busy
Who iz he? dark man, of the unknown
Grrrr-arrrr!
One dog, one bone
Know who ain't goin' home, looks like you
You hit strike one, talkin' shit strike two
Won't be a strike three cause i don't play fair
Im goin' to look you in your eye while he hit from the rear
Be like yeah, holdin' you up cause you fallin'
The lord ain't comin' so nigga stop callin'
You was ballin' a minute ago
In it for dough, then it was
"yo i swear to god i didn't know"

[darkness]
Ain't no sunshine
When it's gone
Only darkness
Everyday, ain't no sunshine when it's on
Cause when it's on
Niggaz know to be gone, everytime cuz we don't play
Everytime cuz we don't play
Everytime cuz we don't play

[dmx]
And i know,i know,i know,i know,i know
What you think you goin' get
Fuck around with my dough
Just so it ain't no mistakes this is my show
One (one), two (two), three here i go
Your shit is quick, and your shit is slick
But this shit is thick, if you here this shit
Damn right i can feel this shit
If you caught the verse wihtout a rewind
You can see my but you be blind
I'll do a 360 and come up behind
Tap you on your shoulder, have you turning around
Hit you with somthin' that will have you burn in the ground
Be like damn, nothin' left for money but a pile of ash
Life is good, please enjoy it while it lasts
Cause you know you an't got much longer to go
Quicker you go depends on the stronger the flow
And niggas know i don't give a fuck right or wrong
Ain't know sunshine when its on.

[darkness]
Ain't no sunshine
When it's gone
Only darkness
Everyday, ain't no sunshine when it's on
Cause when it's on
Niggaz know to be gone, everytime cuz we don't play

[forte' - verse one]

Associated with the razor blade spinners like gym stars and heavy hitters,
Them younger gods love banana clips, broads that strip
Candle wax, brown beamers to whip
And jerk a bitch, known to hit ya, for taking pictures!
Thirty two shots to split ya!
It's all about the cash when i'm fuckin' wit' ya!
John could make ya richer!
Fuck the prince of bel-air!
I'm known to sell heir, got game like a politician
Whose trying to add on, when it's not addition
You need to revamp! the hottest nigga out the refugee camp!
Run up on you b, and leave your seat damp!
And sell stocks slow, sellin' high, by low
From madina up to y.o.
El capitan john, micapo
Get tore down, and that's the way it go down!
The east is like the wild west without the showdown!
Them niggas be like, "what now?!"
Get cut down! from the gut down!
Intense heh? and leave you shut down!
You knocked out! regardless, what round! what now?!!

[dmx]

Unghh!!! my nigga said it!!
Niggas'll get it! that's the rule!
I'm 'bout to break money off - a - li'l somethin', pass the food!
Cuz when i'm drunk! i'm a different nigga!
And all you gonna see is a spark, ain't no whiffin' nigga!
I figure like this...it's just me against the world!
Cuz all my fuckin' life, it's been the world against earl!
What you think i'm-a do...when my back's against the wall!!?
Fuck it! get rolled! roll 'til i fall!
X'll kill 'em all!!! that's what they say to me now!
You vermon nigga! in a time where it's okay to be foul!!
And you lovin' it!
It's got john blaze! just duckin' it!
And this track won't rest, unless x'll put the slug in it!
But, would it fit?! nah, don't even think like that!
This is some shit that i could let go, and bring right back!
It's like crack, if you cook it, overlook it, so i shook it!!!
Like a pit, what you get, is what you wit' me so i took it!

[chorus 2x]

[20 grand pikasoe - verse two]

This track'll make me zone out!
Run up in the party with the chrome out!
Clear jerome out, no doubt!
Ice jingling, sons mingling, drugs we bring it in!
Pikasoe baby!
Gotta get this money baby!
50's and 100's baby!
My whole crew be sonnin' you
What you gonna talk about wit' a gun in front of you?!
Niggas grimy wit' it, slimy wit' it!

[forte']
Put in the card baby, you gone
Too many hard rappers live for cunan
You knew john was too on
Me and dmx, whether change your suit on
Walk dogs, word to god bound to live large and get charged, what!?

[dmx]
Unghh! unghh!
If you my dog, you creep when i creep!
Eat when i eat!
Sleep when i sleep!
For real, shit is deep!
And what you don't know, will kill you!
From x, to forte' niggas will feel you!!

[forte']
I'm roundin' mine more
And very few can nine hold
The kick's too strong, y'all niggas do songs, we live on!
Dough to sit on!
I'm down to shit on!

Watch y'all talkin' mothafuckas keep walkin' watch the dogs barkin'!

[dmx]

Ungh! ungh! ungh!

I set the clock!
Clip the glock!
Hit the block!
Rip the rock!
In the sock!
Get the knot!
This shit is hot!
Can't deny it, you mothafuckas since you know how it go, don't try it!

[chorus - 3x]

Play the fucking track!

[hook]

[method man]
Oh what, y'all thought y'all wasn't gon' see me?
Check my, dangerous slang atrocious
When i let these nuts hang, focus, it's wu tang
What the fuck's a hootie and the blowfish
I wave my black flag at the roaches
Who approaches, these twin, supersoakers
Who have poisonous darts for culprits
Too late to get your blow gun un-holstered
You're left buttered up and lightly toasted
So what, i drink and smoke too much
So what i cuss too much, *shut the fuck up!*

[redman]
Yo, yo, now when we roll
You motherfuckers tuck in your gold
Cuz for the platinum, i'm jackin niggas up in limos
It aint nothin, for bullets to unbutton your clothes
Description, yellow male, tissue up in his nose
You bitches, swing the vine on the bathroom nuts
I'm hairy as hell, outta hell and tattoed up
I'm a dog only fuck in the bathroom, what
In high school, i dealt only with the classroom sluts

[method man]
My name is, johnny, donnie, brasco
Tuck the gat low, cut your cash flow
Yell if you want money, funny
A hungry dummy snatch crumbs from me
Doc and hot niks, bodies in the mosh pit

[redman]
Yo, and i'm the d.o., you lookin at the raw invented
On friday, i spit 35 to 40 minutes
Smell up, the bathroom like craig paul was in it
Endin up, on your back, wu swords up in it
Anyone can match me i crack 'em all to guinness
Fuck how many thugs, players, and ballers in it
Brick city, shaolin, better call us sinners
Boys that'll run up in your wife, maul and spill it
Ppppppp p- p- pow!
[aaaaaaaaahh!]
Yo we said c'mon!!

[hook]

[dmx] it just don't get no darker than that kid with the barker
Bald head with the boots who shoots to make it spark
I'm a fair nigga, but aint nann nigga
Quicker than the hand trigga, so if you dare nigga
It'll be like your man tryin to hold your brain to your head
But you'll be shittin on yourslef cuz you already dead
And at the funeral you won't need a casket
Leavin just enough of him to stuff in a basket
Just get the casket, i really need my ass kicked
My mom never let me forget, that i'm a bastard
I aint never been shit, and aint gon' be shit
That's why i taste shit, whenever i see shit
It's just that d shit, d's short for do what i wanna do
And that's what i'm gonna do, right here in front of you
And i'll be runnin you and your man straight up out
And y'all niggas aint runnin a fuckin thing but your mouth

[dmx bark]
Aaaaaaaahhh!!!

[hook]

[durst]
You, wanna mess with limp bizkit [yeah]
You can't mess with limp bizkit [why?]
Because we get it on, [when?] every day and every night [oh]
See this platinum thing right here? [uh huh]
Well we doin it all the time [what?]
So you better get some better beats
And uh, get some better rhymes [oooh!]
You really, really, really wanna get shit started
Well people everywhere just get retarded
Get retarded, get retarded, people everywhere just get retarded!

[hook]

That's right baby!
Watch out punk!
Limp bizkit! dmx! method man! redman!
And swizz beatz!
Where the fuck you at?! [dmx bark]
Bump that shit! bump that shit! bump that shit! bump that shit!
Ruff ryders! punk!

The born loser, not because I choose to be
But because all the bad shit happens to me
I got kids, but their mothers don't want them to know me
Sisters used to like me but now they call me 'homie'
Used to have a family, now I'm out on my own
Had to scrap with a pit because I tried to take his bone
Bitches don't like me, they don't kiss me or hug me
They call me 'kill pretty' because I'm mad ugly
I used to get pussy, but I busted off quick
Now I gets none so I gotta beat my dick
Times are hard in the ghetto, I gotta steal for a living
Eating turkey-flavored Now & Laters for Thanksgiving
If that ain't enough, life is rough I swear
I don't have an address so I can't get welfare
They kicked me out the shelter because they said I smelled a
Little like the living dead and looked like Helter Skelter
My clothes are so funky, they're bad for my health
Sometimes at night my pants go to the bathroom by themself
Even when I was little nothing went my way
I got beat up and chased home from school every day
And despite the fact I want all the brothers bees
On my report card, I didn't get F's, I got C's
But for those who choose to snooze
Cause I was born with no hope, I got nothing to lose

The born loser, a title I was branded with
Went to Liberty Island, and got stranded with
The Statue of Liberty, but they didn't really have to
Leave my black ass there until the day after
No time for laughter, this shit's for real
Ribs are showing through my back cause I haven't had a meal
In a week, you can see bones in my hands
The raccoons beat me to the garbage cans
I'm starving Marvin, and it shouldn't be like that
The only thing that I'm carving is an alley cat
But sometimes in the daytimes I dream of a Manwich
But all I'm really eating is an oxygen sandwich
For those that don't know, that's two pieces of bread strapped together
Or I'll have a rain sandwich, depending on the weather
Born Loser caught up in the game
And I ain't even got nobody to blame

The Born Loser, yeah, that used to me my M-O
When I couldn't get a soul to listen to my demo
Doors shut in my face until I started jamming them
I'm behind the doors now and I'm the one slamming them
I did what I had to to get where I got
Though I'll admit what I had to do was a lot
I gave it a shot, and sometimes I had to shoot
Catching vics just to get a little loot
I thought it was cute and didn't care who knew
Mess around, get in my way and I'll bag you, too
Cause I was born to lose straight from the beginning
In the dugout because I struck out the first inning
Winning was everything, that's why I had to
Ask my man to find the loot, and he said 'I'd be glad to'
Now who needs a major label? We got our own
I'm the Divine Master of the Unknown
Ain't nothing changed, I'm the same as before
When oppoertunity knocked I just answered the door
Criminal at heart even though I don't show it
I was always a winner but I just didn't know it

[DMX]
Wooh
Come on
Wooh
Uh, uh, wooh
Come on
Wooh

Uh, uh uh
Man, I hear you niggas talkin
But'choo walkin the wrong way to really mean it
I done heard it, I done seen it, don't get caught up in between it
Its a dark road you walkin on, same street that I be stalkin on
Suppose to be quiet, but you keep talkin on
Now ya mouth got you in some shit
So we gon' let everybody see your gangsta ass get smaked like a bitch
Guess I'll remind y'all niggas, I can find y'all niggas
Click click, whats up, walk up right behind y'all niggas
Once the four four hit'cha
You ain't going no where but out the door on a stretcha
Boy, I'ma get'cha
Wet y'all niggas up like a pool
'Cuz I done told you, Y'ALL GON' MAKE ME LOSE MY COOL
Yo Knock get the glock, these bitch niggas is actin
Making movies, we'll make a movie about this shit after is happened
All that yappin, that them niggas is gettin away with
Take it easy my friend, let 'em know, dog ain't to be played with

Chorus: DMX

A nigga gotta take a girl with the back
I'm fuckin with the hood and I'm back
I wish you understood why I'm back
It would take a lotta pressure off my back
A nigga gotta take a girl with the back
I'm fuckin with the hood and I'm back
I wish you understood why I'm back
It would take a lotta pressure off my back

[DMX]
Uh, uh, uh
Most of these hard rocks turn out to be soft as wet dog shit
Talkin shit, but when the fog spits, dog they all split
Then all hit the ground around the same time
In the same frame of mind, ?thangs up in the nine?
left them bitches blind, hit 'em up from behind
Yeah, thats how you do that
And he had such a good head up on his shoulders, but I blew that
Fuck you black, you new cats don't know somethin important
You die quick fuckin with my shit, and my shits extortin
House rules, when I speak, y'all niggas listen
I drop jewels that y'all cats can't afford to keep missin
Drinkin ??? fueled by drugs
Shits about to get real outta hand dog, betta get ya man dog
Rap shit comes second, I'ma show you what a robber do
Mention ice one more time and I'm robbin you
Tie you up for a week starvin you
Beatin the shit outta you everday, cuz yo, these niggas gotta pay

Chorus

[DMX]
Uh, uh, uh
Dog it ain't no secret 'bout how its going down once I put on the pressure
It ain't nothing but another nigga put on a stretcher
With a blanket over his face, take him to the morgue with the waste
'Cuz he was in the wrong place at the wrong time
So I gave it to him in his chest
In his throat, in his head, in his back, through his vest, YES
Ain't a whole lot to braking a nigga down fast
They call me black 'cuz thats how I'm gon' be on that ass
Y'all pussy niggas think y'all sweet
But ain't a fuckin thing going down til I eat
So can I beef? You betta while you still got teeth
'Cuz they about to get knocked out, hopped out
On that ass with a blast that'll make ya shit drop out
Popped out, through a you know what
Cuz you know why, and you know my
Motherfuckin name up in this game
And bitch, you know I
Will never be crossed flippin, but on some east coast terms
New York niggas do, fuck the perms

Chorus

Yeah you know how we do it, funk flex, big kap, def jam
The tunnel, ruff ryders, let's go baby

[chorus]
Ruff ryders (we in here!)
Ruff ryders (we stayin here!)
Ruff ryders (ain't goin nowhere,
Ain't hidin nowhere, ain't runnin nowhere)

[drag-on]
Ya'll laughin, when we comin, we checkin the cabinets
Body parts we baggin, we ain't comin for the crack
We come to crack backs and ? over niggaz hair dew
Spit rays, pop off c's and graze niggaz fades
I creep in a mustang, bust my heat in the rain
Till they get a rust stain
Y'all niggaz heard of me, probably wanna murder me
I'll pull up on ya block and turn your white teeth burgundy
Let's see some surgery

[eve]

Watch the first lady as she rides
Rougher than the rest of them bitches
What it take for cats to hush they mouth
This one official
Come on clown prove it's still an issue
Streets is ours, have ya homies weepin cause they miss you
Thought it was a game when i said the dogs would get you
Heard you fucked up cause e-v-e bit you
Flex knows what the real is
That's why he deal wit
Ruff ryders baby droppin bombs nigga feel this

[chorus]
Ruff ryders (we in here!)
Ruff ryders (we stayin here!)
Ruff ryders (ain't goin nowhere,
Ain't hidin nowhere, ain't runnin nowhere)

[styles]
Why ya'll braggin, i'm over here choppin and baggin
And i don't want the drop coupe so i'm choppin the wagon
Dark navy blue six speed, six air-bags
Even if this shit crash, feel like six flags
And ya'll niggaz cant block my shells
When i'm in jail the c.o. don't lock my cell
Before any rap group, we was the l.o.x. crooks
I'll slap a hundred dollars on the whole blocks books
And know the block shook, when i walk by
Niggaz just like you they rather not look
I inspired y'all niggaz to flow
I'ma always get money so i admire ya'll niggas that blow
Ask ya self who the nicest out right now
Put your ice up lets get on the mic right now
Clown, i'm the top cat where it stops at
Where lightning and thunder at
And y'all niggaz is under that

[jadakiss]
If you runnin with the p. you gonna get your turn
Tuck my gun while its hot to feel my dick hair burn
Might come through the spot where the shottie and what
Body to block and hot wanna the bacardi wit rocks
I aint never drive a bike but i ride on the back
Rob wit a gat, shit i still ride wit my craps
If you wanna go to war we can tally it up
Escalate and venally it up, what?

[chorus]
Ruff ryders (we in here!)
Ruff ryders (we stayin here!)
Ruff ryders (ain't goin no where,
Ain't hidin no where, ain't runnin no where)

[sheek]
If you like sheek, you hold heat and no one know
Bust yo' gun and leave the body where no one go
I pack some shit for any type of situation
Only time i don't pack heat is on vacation
And that's the blow dryer next to the playstation
I'm big but i use shit to kill you quick
And i don't wrestle unless chicks do bad on my dick
Flex know i bring somethin hot to the spot

[dmx]
What would you rather have the 10 you found or the 5 you earned
Became a man at 6 cause at 5 you learned
Don't take nothin for granted except death
Man of the house cause you the last nigga left
I see how it's going dizzy with the shit so we can blast a rhyme
Hope the lord got your soul cause your ass is mine
Every time you turn around niggas know that i be right there
East turned to west coast, cravin for the nightmare
Don't give a fuck about what you sling
Cause you ain't slingin that shit, or bringin that shit
Up the hill, but you still singin that shit
Talkin shit like you know what its like to walk this shit
Get on some stalkin shit
So you know what niggaz rule new york and shit
I'm just thinkin all the business and how to handle ya'll niggaz
All the families that i got lightin candles for niggaz
Breathin revelence, grandmothers fallen out and need the sedatives
Mom huggin the casket wishin that she raised a better kid

[swizz beatz]
Y'all niggaz actors
I'll put your face where your muthafuckin back was
Im tired of y'all niggaz actors

Y'all know what y'all gonna get
And y'all niggaz know damn well who y'all fuckin wit
Little slim nigga like me, big gun like this
And my gun bust and gun never miss
I'm the nigga that make ya miss christmas
When we go to court you know shit dismissed

[chorus x4]
Ruff ryders (we in here!)
Ruff ryders (we stayin here!)
Ruff ryders (ain't goin nowhere,
Ain't hidin nowhere, ain't runnin nowhere)

And now, the tale from the darkside...

[dmx]
Uh, i got to remind y'all niggas
What the flow is all about
Huh, its about this
Anywhere from forty-eight and up
Straight, you feel me?
Fifty fifty

Aiyyo, i gots to hear the beat so i can eat, ahight?
If i can't live, you can't live, ain't nothin sweet
Bitch ass niggas think its all about versace
A week later them niggas talkin about (yo, x got me)
I thought he was my man, but he act like he ain't know me
I knew he had the joint, but i didn't wanna make him show me
That nigga be buggin, stickin cats up and random
Doing his dirt and disappearin like the phantom
Niggas can't stand him, but ask me if i care
'cuz what i used to give a fuck about, just ain't there
And ain't nothing fair, i knew this for a long time
Thats why with ever wrong crime comes anotha strong rhyme
And thats mo' time under the belt, you felt what i had
And i shouldn't have even done it, thats what made this shit sad
I'm doin' bad, but if i gots to feel it, you gots to feel it
And if a nigga can't afford it, i gots to steal it
And that's how real it, gets, when this shit [hits the fan]
You still tryin to get the man, first catch up with the man
Then we gon' see what'choo made of
If your shit ain't pumpin kool-aid, what you afraid of?
The monster under the bed, fill ya with four slugs to the head
Or ya babies mother missin for a month, found dead
Worms comin' from places you stuck ya dick in
Maggots got the bitch coverered and the smells sick'nen
Plastic don't hide the smell for too long, i do wrong
And so i don't have nightmares i forget about it, move on
Keep gettin my groove on, 'cuz that shit could fuck with'choo
Keep dwellin on it, and its gonna get stuck with you
Niggas try their luck with you, 'cuz they smell ass
And money if you pussy, i'm gonna be able to tell fast
Some cop i'm about to smack across the face in this robbery
I'm on a robbin spree, and ain't no stoppin me
On this real, thats why a nigga stay writin
'cuz kid this shit is real, what you think we play fightin
You must of saw som'thin funny, or never saw som'thin bloody
Or you don't know i'll bring it to your door 'cuz i'm cruddy
Like puddy, when i hold you niggas, i mold you niggas
I done told you niggas, that i been owed you niggas
For that shit you did that you wasnt built for
Shit i guess you didnt know you do get killed for
I done filled niggas up with the extended clip
Its like i blew this joint down with the extended rip
Or that non-stop, when the bomb drops
I'ma take it from where you at and then end up on ya moms block
From here to comstock, niggas gettin bust wild
?cell cagers last night from lock out just died?
Ain't no where to hide, ain't no wear to run
What more can they do to a man that ain't been done
A mind is a terrible thing to waste
Especially if its all over the place, your mind all over his face
How do brains taste, when they mixed with gun powder
Semi to fully automatic makes the gun louder
I got som'thin to fix pain when i kicks game
'cuz i'ma float off more tracks than they sixth train
You 'bout to get flamed, from ash to ashes to dirt
You gon' go with the dough that your life was worth
Motherfucker...

From The Wood soundtrack

Uh, Ruff Ryderz, DMX, Swizz Beatz

[Verse 1]
I be, I be that dog that gots to flow
That's why, that's why baby I gots to blow
And you, and you know it's straight from the gutter
Because, because it's gettin darker than a mother
Slow down, slow down partner you movin too quick
Oh now, oh now gotcha, your crew and them sick
What now, what now nigga, you feelin this shit?
But how, but how is this nigga killin this shit
Don't think, don't think that it couldn't happen again
Don't blink, don't blink cuz I put a (?) in your chin
Then what, then what niggas is gonna see you dead
For what, for what over some shit a bitch said
But why, but why did your life mean so liitle?
I tried, I tried but you got me caught up in the middle
This is, this is what it all comes down to
I did, I did what a nigga had to do, come on

[Hook]
Don't worry 'bout me
Cuz I'm a be the dog that I am, you know, D
The type of nigga that y'all niggas love when you see
So y'all, don't worry bout me, ya hear me?

[Verse 2]
What's up, what's up with that nigga they call D?
I am, I am what niggas is tryin to be
And will, and will continue to do my thing
They love, they love all that dark shit that I bring
Know why, know why? Cuz I keep it realer than you
You can't, you can't cuz of all the shit that you do
You know, you know just what I'm talkin about
You asked, you asked nothin bout runnin your mouth
A bitch, a bitch what you thought niggas couldn't tell?
You flipped, you flipped after two days in a cell
Good thing, good thing I knew what was on your mind
You sing, you sing but you still gon do your time
No bail, no bail cuz they don't believe your story
Oh well, oh well guess you gon do that forty
I'm here, I'm here still gettin platinum plaques
You there, you there still tryin to watch your back

[Hook] X 4

Uhh, that's some shit..
..that that that niggaz ain't even seen before
That's that shit! (motherfuckers ain't never seen
Nothing like this before, for real man)
It's goin down baby, uhh..
Uhh! busta rhymes
What?! uhh, dmx nigga
Uhh, uhh, uhh, uhh, uhh

I see ghosts clearly; even though, most don't hear me
They still wanna get near me - fear me, so i'm leary
Kinda eerie what i'm feelin - from the floor, to the ceilin
Straight through the roof, want the truth?
I kinda miss robbin and stealin
Cause it kept a nigga hungry, only eatin when i starved
I was ugly, so i robbed, no one loved me, shit was hard
Went to god once in a while when it got a little too hectic
He was the only one i knew that i respected (why?)
Didn't know why, didn't know what i was livin was a lie
If i ain't shit then, why should i try
See, plenty niggaz die, over dumb shit, up in the hood
Real good heart, but up to no good
Thought i did what i could, but i guess it, wasn't enough
The devil told me it would happen but i kept callin his bluff
When it rains it pours now, my pains are yours
As yours are what's mine, define, revolvin doors (nigga!)

[chorus: busta rhymes]

(why?) all my niggaz tell me (why) tell me (we die)
Cause we crazy with it, quick to blaze you with it
From in my soul to every word that i curse
With all the agony expressed in this verse;
Let me ask my niggaz (why?)
My niggaz tell me (why) tell me (we die)
Because we gods nigga (and) we go the yard nigga
Because i walk the ground under my feet
And keep it live and stay in tune with the street
Now let me ask my niggaz (why?)

[jay-z]
They say the good die young, in the hood where i'm from
I only got one question to that - why the fuck am i here?
I look to the air, i ask god, "love me please,"
But in reality, only people that hug me is thieves
Same niggaz that send shots through my rugby sleeves
They wanna, slug me and leave, i'm thinkin it must be me
Please shed light, the hood's dark
I did my dirt but got a good heart
Shouldn't that count for somethin?
I was told i'd amount to nothin, most of my childhood
Like (??) it was stuntin my growth
Seperated me from the shit i was wantin the most
Felt myself comin close to pumpin them o's
Lump in my throat, chest poked out, face was poker
Tryin to, erase my ghostes, chase the smokers
Got demons on both shoulders,
Tryin to chauffeur my life through the streets
In other words nigga my will was weak
Please feel what i speak,
This ain't your average ordinary jargon
Weak rap niggaz be talkin
This shit is deep, from the mind of busta, 'x and me
To all my fallen soldiers, rest in peace, til we meet niggaz

[chorus w/ minor variations]

[busta rhymes]
I must be cuckoo, like i respect the new-you, never
See you too could get it through your fubu sweater
Like a nigga when he walk in the dark, trespassin
On a nigga land, shots echo loud in the park
I live and die for all the shit i believe
And rep for everything i stand for
With every single breath i breathe
Like the intake from cigarette smoke, it's like you inhale
The demon in the gutter stressed struggled and broke
If the shit was all over tomorrow, i'd leave a treasure
For my kids with a legacy for my children to follow
You know it's funny how the good die first
Get the peppin in your steppin faggot nigga
Cause you could die worse
Hold on, you know i cut off my arm, in the name of reppin
Real niggaz in the midst of droppin this bomb
Allah blessin me to rep for the better, and carry on
Somethin great and keep a nigga name livin forever!

[chorus w/ minor variations]

[intro: jay-z]
Whut the fuck?
Niggaz, ya'll ready for this
Bitches, ya'll ready for this
Ha, alright. let's bounce

[verse 1: jah rule]
I'm startin' to flow
You know,
That's what niggaz wit do do, yo
Red means stop, green means go
Right now i see green
You wanna stop
Oh no
What are you anyway nigga, friend or foe
Don't fuck wit me, or i-n-c
Nigga, what the fuck, are you crazy
Can't believe dat shit, tryin' act swayze
You'd be better off lazy
So shut the fuck up right now, and maybe
Murder i-n-c will show mercy
Cuz first b
We don't fuck wit' dem, uninterested niggaz
You know who i'm talkin about
Those niggaz that started to bust out
Soon as our first joint came out
Holla holla, if i could have a dolla
For every nigga that hated me soon as i-n-c was on blaze
But i don't give a fuck
I said not a flying fuck
Ja rule, murder i-n-c, make ya say whut whut

[hook: jay-z, ja rule, and dmx]
The murder i-n-c
Yeah nigga
Just you and me
Fuck around
Catch bullet from me
Cause there ain't no fuckin' around
Whenever the i-n-c is in town [3x]

[verse 2: dmx]
(dog growling, then barking)
D-m-x, my dogs gonna bite you
Gonna fuck you up, just cause they like to
How the fuck you gonna fuck around wit' organized crime
God damn, we live what we speak in every fuckin' rhyme
Yo, ja (what the deal, x?)
Here's a twenty, go get me a fuckin' dime
Now, back to this murder shit
Light my fuse, my teeth begin to grit
Party wit' my crew, fuck you
You ain't playin' wit no screw, or a smack
Cause when i attack, i never take back
Anything bad i do or say, cause yo that shit is wack
And i just luv when you niggaz bring your whole crew
It's just sme more beef to stick you to
And fuck you, now it's plain to see,
It ain't to smart fuckin' wit' murder i-n-c

[hook:]

[verse 3: jay-z]
Dem niggaz ain't prepared
For dis shit we prepared
Got every nigga scared
Cause of all the fuckin' shit that we shared
And don't none of them niggaz
Wanna fuck around
We're never gonna find a common ground
Many niggaz wanna know, does murder sound like this
We're three hip-hop philanthrapists
But, we don't give no muney, we don't give a fuck so...
When the light is green
It's time to go
I don't care who you know
You still payin' full price, to our show
Fuck no, i won't give 'em to you free or with a discount yo
Cuz
You ain't gettin' nada from us
Cause niggaz always get a lotta money from us
That ain't the thug way
Nigga, don't try and play
Hold the fuck up, are you gay
No
Well anyway
It's time to say
Final goodbyes
And one more thing, this shit i just rapped about
And none of it are lies
Next step is to come in, fuck your boo
When i'm through
All she'll be able to say is jigga whut jigga who
And ask her who her man is
She'll tell you
She'll put her finga on the trigga
Pull and yell jigga my nigga

Aaayyyyoooow!

It's time, it's time, it's time, it's time
This is time to build, it's time to build
It's time to build, it's time to build
It's time to build, this is time to build

[verse 1: mic geronimo]
I format my mind for combat
In fact i put a hole up in your back on the song like that
Rollin thick with my people ain't no room to breathe
Surrounded by murderous felons, drinks and bags of weed
I swing at ya and get fly with the m-i
I'm automatic trample in your static with the semi
So when i squeeze i'm off in the breeze with these
Licking shots at them whack mc's
With no direction, i rhyme with perfection skills
Drug a nigga like a pill when it's time to build
Keep it real, get your head rocked when i wreck shop
I bigger with my style ain't a bully on your fuckin block
Word is bond i go on
I'm breaking mc's with vocal tones over real rap songs
Insane in the brain nothing left to gain
Grab the mic up with skill when it's time to build, mother fuckers

[chorus:]
This is time to build, it's time to build
It's time to build, it's time to build
It's time to build, this is time to build

[verse 2: ja rule]
Niggas increase the pain when they shout my name
Horrified by the thought of hot slugs and graves
Cause ja is a sinister character loading that 44 caliber
Infrared aimed at your jugular
Who the fuck are you? nobody cares
You just be another nigga that needs repairs
Talking to all them niggas shitting
And all them faggots that be steady bitching, inside their insides twitching
Sod sill delivering, doa push a nine to your mind and commence the spray
No bullshit, natural's the king of left
Scared of life but wanna play the game of death
What's next? niggas wearing padded kotex
Pussy ass mc's get treated like rough sex
I'm possessed you can't feel what i feeler
Be easy on the cut, uh, uh, uh

[chorus:]
This is time to build, it's time to build
It's time to build, it's time to build
It's time to build, this is time to build

[verse 3: jay-z]
Yeah, fresh on the scene-a with the fucking next niggas demeanor
You know my work i bless and press more skirts then the cleaners
I'm damn relaxed cause you cats can't stress the g
Ain't a enough jump in 'em to make you high enough to test me
Gone, niggas is moist like duncan heinz
Choice when i'm voicing my poise i got poison lines
So flame on i turn my game on the expert
Niggas get chills when you hear my name on the network
Fuck what you niggas kickin on the mic
You chicken like you don't know what an ass whippin feels like
I'm living flashbacks, i blaze niggas split like ass-cracks
It's the j to the a, smoother than jazz tracks, yeah
So when i'm browsing through your housing projects
Niggas get 5,000 shit is rough
Time to close i hit you with 16 of those
Next time maybe more, but who the fuck knows?

[chorus:]
This is time to build, it's time to build
It's time to build, it's time to build
It's time to build, this is time to build

[verse 4: dmx]
Check it out yo, check it out yo, check it out yo, check it out yo
I'm peeling niggas caps like oranges
Hit 'em in the head with 2 by 4 inches
I'm a grimy nigga so i like my bitches cruddy
My clothes dirty, dick shitty, and my knife bloody
I did too much dirt to turn back now
I'm the reason my lil' sister smoking crack now
I'd feel guilty if i had a heart but i don't
To live a carefree life if i stop killing but i won't
It's in my blood to destroy man kind
With every murder i lose it little more of my damn mind
And i ain't got much left to lose nigga ,so don't snooze nigga
I'm telling yous nigga, just pay your dues nigga
Respect my mother fucking style of rap
Murder your mic and your unborn child
This ain't wild just how niggas living on the street
A little something that cant be beat

[chorus:]
It's time, it's time, it's time, it's time
This is time to build, it's time to build
It's time to build, it's time to build
It's time to build, this is time to build

[mic geronimo:]
Recognize, understand, recognize, understand
Recognize, understand, recognize, understand

This is time to build
This is time to build
This is time to build

Street bitches, slash, Cocoa Puff sweet bitches (WHAT?)
Make you wanna eat bitches, but not me
Y'all niggaz eat off the plate all you want but not D (UHH)
I fuck with these hoes from a distance
The instant they start to catch feelings

You thinkin life, I'm thinkin more like - whassup tonight?
Come on ma, you know I got a wife

So what is it you want from a nigga? (WHAT?)

Nothin more, nothin less, but you at my door
willin to confess that it's the best you ever tested
Better than all the rest, I'm like, 'Aight girlfriend, hold up
I gave you, what you gave me Boo, a nut (f'real)'

Chorus: Sisqo

What these bitches want from a nigga?

Chorus (w/ minor variations)

[DMX]
Aiyyo, I think about when a nigga didn't have (YEAH)

See now I do the math, I see if you got this
and this and this to some cats, that nigga's the shit (aight?)
And that's all they fuckin with, but see these bitches don't know
If these bitches ain't for real, these bitches don't go
Knock on door, no show, I'm sleep tryin to creep
wit yo' best friend, put it in, dig deep

[Sisqo - singing over dub chorus]
X let me talk to em for a minute
Oooohhh I know I know it's so hard to be
a victim of my reality
Heard you callin me names, said I was trife
One thing you gotta know, I'ma be a nigga for life
Ooooooooooh yeahhhhhhhhh yeahhhh
Oahahohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Chorus 2X (w/ Sisqo ad-libs)

[intro]
That "t" would help though
Here we go again
Yeah, check it out, y'all
Check it out, check it out
Check it out y'all, check it out y'all
Straight y.o. mother fuckers

Now days cats and middleman, little man, ain't controlling shit
Talk about holding bricks, but ain't holding dick
Niggas talk real slick, but that's about it
Soon as i see 'em headed my way, i cut them off quick
Must you beat me in my head everytime i come through?
It's shit like, everybody tells me i sound just like you
But you got me, got me? and you can't live without me
If i wasn't dmx, you wouldn't give a fuck about me
Ain't about "dog i wanna be just like you"
How about you wanting to be just like you?
You can do what i do, just in your own way
Shit, i get niggas that ride big every fuckin' day (i-ight?)
If you got talent, talent is yours, it can't be mine
And it take you where it's gon' take you, it'll be fine
Let me hit 'em with the rewind
Do you and i'll do me
To me you'll see how real you'll be

[1] - do you - cuz what it boils down to it's true
Do you - cuz you are held accountable for you
Do you - is that really what you want me to see
Do you - cuz i'mma do me, truley

Do you - cuz what it boils down to, it's true
Do you - cuz you are held accountable for you
Do you - is that really what you want me to see
Do you - cuz i'mma do me, truley

Hey yo dog, i got lyrics
Hey yo dog, i got beats (word)
Damn, is this the type of shit i gots to put up with in the streets?
Used to be able to walk, not have to talk to nobody
Everywhere i go it's like i bring the whole party
It ain't about tryin' to follow or tryin' to be like
But if we all see it through the eyes of the lord, we see a light (c'mon)
Just let me get a hold of the mic, i'll teach you a little something
Now the good things that go wrong because of a little frontin'
Express yourselves, be who you are, umm umm, you're a shining star
You don't even know what you got inside
How the fuck you gon' find out, you keep wanting to ride
Hey yo, i ain't gon' let it slide no more
You're best to go for what you know
Can't do you, then what you flow for
You ain't gon' get there tryin' to be me, dog
Look through your eyes, see what you see

[repeat 1]

Like fuck it, you wanna be me? here's what you do
Grow up neglected by both parents and still pull through
You gots to come up fucked up, get treated like shit
Then have your mother's new boyfriend smack you like a bitch turn into a killer,
Don't carry shottie
Cuz the way it's goin' down right now, you gon' kill somebody
Get a dog, walk the streets, learn what you need to learn
Better have a cause but because you'll get burned
You got 15 years without ever coming out
And beat your fist at the world and what they talkin' about
Then get locked up every two years
For two years keep it real, hold back all tears, face your fears
Become a man before your time, rap but live out your rhymes
Let 'em know what's on your mind, then you'll get your shine
In time, everything you hear will come true
But you won't be doin' me, you'll be doin' you

[repeat 1 until fade]

Live and learn
Life is a lesson
And I'm gonna teach it

First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk
Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk
But I gotta learn in order to teach
Then I gotta burn in order to reach
My niggaz

Yo, I see what I see day by day
Hoping that the Lord will pave my way (What!)
Have I been forgotten? Have I forsaken?
Or maybe I'm just wrong with the moves that I've been makin'
Hatin' others cuz they hate me over envy
They wanna send me, when we use to be friendly
Think I started off on top with two platinum albums?
Naw dog, I started off from the block
I just did shit and did shit (Ugh!)
Niggaz always knew I was down to hit shit so I stayed rich (What!)
Played with shit but it wasn't a game; first time locked down (Ugh!)
It wasn't the same, the whole fuckin' world, couldn't quite close the steel
Niggaz get split for real, miss some good meal (Damn)
Called nobody but don't nobody care
They got my back against the walls
Fuck it, I'm just here

1- First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk
Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk
But I gotta learn in order to teach
Then I gotta burn in order to reach

First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk
Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk
But I gotta learn in order to teach
Then I gotta burn in order to reach
My niggaz

Dog, it's like this: when the fog is tight thick, a nigga might flip
And a nigga write quick, but I stay focus to what's important (What's that?)
Supportin' my family, fucking with my dogs and record
According to the man upstairs, we all got our own problems
So you- stop worrying about bail (Aight)
Learned a long time ago, look away and niggaz will leave you
I hear no, speak no, see no evil
All I can do is teach you what I know, how I flow
how I get down, where I go (What!)
Maybe what I been through or send you somewhere I've been (Where?)
Dreams go out the window, I love my people, all of my people (Ugh)
And God gonna keep me callin' my people (Ugh)
You gots to live life to the fullest
Ain't always about the size of the gun so time is the bullet

Repeat 1

Everyday we live and learn, take it step-by-step
We create our own path until there's no life left
I hold my death (Ugh) all for as long as I can
Know my man (What!) plottin' with a chrome in his hand
Holdin' me back, niggaz gettin' shady over money
MY NIGGA! Pull out the 380 over money (Damn)
Really over money, can't do without it
I got other shit to deal with, I'm like forget about it
It's when I don't know with much tease that comes first
because it comes with the thirst of a nigga that's had it the worst
It's like a curse that should be lifted
He was there when he lifted, got a call and he shifted
Once he felt that he was gifted
Got to kick it the hardest and I hope you got it
It was there from the start, I just hope you spot it
Cuz it's my blood on paper, my soul on paper
It's worse to live by will leave a hole in the paper

Repeat 1

It's dark and hell is hot

Ain't no sunshine when it's on
Only darkness every day
Ain't no sunshine when it's on
Cuz when its on, ya niggaz gonna be gone
Every time cuz we don't play

"who turned out the lights?"
Is what niggaz be sayin'
Now you don't wanna fight
But ya niggaz be playin'
Thinkin' its alright keep playin with that road
And you gonna know the night
When you layin in that cold
Dirt gettin' tossed in your grave
Now it's all over
Preacher said "you was brave"
But now it's all over
You just one of the many, plenty i done gave it to
(*boom*) ain't no savin 'you
No matter how many tears your moms' cried
Ain't gon bring your ass back
Plus in hell, you gon fry
Why? but now the only 2 releative questions
Is "do we bury him or burn? any suggestions?"
Either way, you up out of here for good
Now when niggaz mention you name
They knockin' on wood
Did i, get my, point across?
Another body on the shotte
Another joint i toss

[chorus]
Ain't no sunshine when it's on
Only darkness every day
Ain't no sunshine when it's on
Cuz when its on, ya niggaz gonna be gone
Every time cuz we don't play [repeat 4x]

There ain't no sunshine
When the dark man comes out
And i want mine
So i plan to keep my gun out
We got four 9's
So niggaz run in and run out
But i bust mine
Cuz i'd like to hear some shots
+get at me dog+ niggaz know how its goin dizzy
When it comes to that flow, i gets busy
Who is he? dark man of the unknown
(grrr arf) one dog, one bone
Now who ain't goin home? looks like you
You hear strike 1, talkin' shit, strike 2
Won't be a strike 3, cuz i don't play fair
I'ma look you in your eye
While he hit you from the rear
Be like "yeah, holdin' you up cuz you fallin'"
The lord ain't comin' till niggaz stop callin'
You was ballin' a minute ago
In it for dough
Till it was "yo, i swear to god, i didnt know"

[chorus]

And i know, i know, i know, i know, i know
Whatchu think you gon get
Fuck around with my dough
Just so it ain't no mistakes, this is my show
One (one) two (two) three (three) here i go
Your shit is quick and your shit is sleek
But this shit is thick and when you hear this shit
Damn right i can finish shit
If you caught that verse without a rewind you can see mine
But you be blind, i'll do it 360, come up from behind
Tap you on the shoulder, have you turnin' around
Hit you with somethin' that i'll have you burin' the ground
Be like "damn ain't nothin' left of money, but a pile of ash"
Life is good, so please enjoy it, while it lasts
Cuz you know ain't got much longer to go
The quicker you go depends the stronger the flow
When niggaz know i don't give a fuck, right or wrong
There ain't no sunshine when it's on

[chorus]

You like to shout? i'ma put that shit to a-cease (huh huh) (yeah)
From here to the paper, from the bed to the grease (a'ight)
Like police, i get away with mad credit shit

All that buddy shit was left alone, back in school (ugh) (c'mon)
Even then, the nigga was cuttin' up (yeah), actin' fools (what!)
Broke a lot of rules (why?) just because i could (uh, huh) (that's right)
Got away with most of it, just because i'm good (uh huh)
Stabbin' niggas with wood, i was one of the first
Doin' dirt, but i'm still outrunnin' the hertz
And it's always worst than it looks (uh, huh) (c'mon)
But then you never understandin' the thirst of a crook (you arrested)
First comes the hook, the assault, then come the robbery (damn)
My world is always (ugh!) dark and ain't no stoppin' me
Come on!

[keisha:]
