RUFF RYDERS!! YOU KNOW!! {*explosion*}

 

[DMX]

(Here we go again, baby) Here we go again; ###### right!

Dark Man X baby, dog for life, for life, for life...

"When I say D, M; y'all say X!"

"D, M!" (Crowd: X!)

"D, M!" (Crowd: X!)

"When I say D, M; y'all say X!"

"D, M!" (Crowd: X!)

"D, M!" (Crowd: X!)

 

[DMX]

I don't **** with what you sayin 'cause your raps weak

I take the back streets of New York, and run a track meet

To form life from a rap sheet

See that be the flow that's crushin 'em on the L

Jumpin on they ###### ****, bustin 'em 'til they swell

Then tell, your mother, next time she see her son is never

And I be on yo' ****, if my name was "No ######".. ever

Like "The Hulk," but they can't fix me

"Doom, doom, doom, doom, doom," and sly like Bill Bixby

This should be havin niggaz in the emergency

Undergoing surgery, wanting to murder me

When you go, you know you heard of me

And yo' last thought is what you did wasn't worth ya life

It's what yo' *** bought

Caught up in some ****, and I had to let you feel this steel

They found his ###### *** slumped over the steering wheel

You still feeling real? Naw nigga you looking tired

Gone on to sleep baby, 'cause yo' **** is just expired

"When I say D, M; y'all say X!"

"D, M!" (Crowd: X!)

"D, M!" (Crowd: X!)

"When I say D, M; y'all say X!"

"D, M!" (Crowd: X!)

"D, M!" (Crowd: X!)

"We In Here"

 

 

Yeah you know how we do it, Funk Flex, Big Kap, Def Jam

The Tunnel, Ruff Ryders, Let's go baby

 

 

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

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 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

 

 

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 **** 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 **** 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, **** I still ride wit my craps

If you wanna go to war we can tally it up

Escalate and venally it up, what?

 

 

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 **** 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 **** to kill you quick

And I don't wrestle unless chicks do bad on my ****

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 **** so we can blast a rhyme

Hope the Lord got your soul cause your *** 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 **** about what you sling

Cause you ain't slingin that ****, or bringin that ****

Up the hill, but you still singin that ****

Talkin **** like you know what its like to walk this ****

Get on some stalkin ****

So you know what niggaz rule New York and ****

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 well who y'all 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 **** 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)

I Run ****

f/ Big Stan

 

[DMX]

Man are you for real?

you niggaz cant be serious

you not for real. you gotta be playing

you better walk away

 

I run **** here, Y'all just sit here

Do y'all niggaz know what it took for me to get here

I'm gonna stay here, earn my way here

You can **** around if you want but we don't play here

We get through that, run right through that

That's how we do that, y'all niggaz knew that

Two albums in one year three albums in two

Didn't I just tell y'all niggaz that's how we do

You wasn't even listening when I just said

What I said, you get that, what I just said

I run **** here **** y'all niggaz

Jail what I said I used to duck y'all niggaz

I'm grown and that's all to it

Y'all leave a child on his own and I'm gonna do it

**** I done did it, **** it

you ain't even half way close to being with it forget it

 

[Chorus][DMX]

I run ****, I run **** here

I run ****, I run **** here

I run **** here, I run ****

I run **** here, I run ****

I run ****, I run **** here

I run ****, I run **** here

I run **** here, I run ****

I run **** here, I run ****

 

[DMX]

I run **** here, what's my name

Getting' down for real **** my fame

Played too many games and the games gone catch up with you

Fame niggaz make stretcha catch up with you quicka

You that nigga oh for real you that nigga

Let me show you how we do that nigga

See, y'all cats are small cats

And niggaz like us aren't gonna believe that

We takin all that fall back

Get down, lay down, sit down

Stay down, head round. Hey now

Does a nigga wanna get a little off his mind

I'm a nigga that will hit a nigga off his time

Go off his spine, brains in the air

Flames to the hair cause the game ain't fair

And i'll take it there ' with the right one baby

Got that, we tryin' to light one baby

 

[Chorus]

 

(Big Stan)

I've done **** here my guns spit here

Y'all might live here but I run **** here

Blood sweats and tears for years just to sit here

Think I'm about to let you niggaz get here

Cowards are stupid if you wanna see me prove it

Try and take my position watch a quick a nigga lose it

Make you get all my **** and have you fearing for your life

Every time you see me roll up or ride up on a bike

Dressed in all black with my pistol in your sight

But it will be my man in all white that walks up with a knife

I'm a big boy baby I don't play with you thin niggaz

Getting my hands dirty when there's beef I send niggaz

Come Thru (Move)

f/ Busta Rhymes, Swizz Beatz

 

[Chorus: Swizz Beatz - 2X]

When I Come thru Everything gon' Stop

When I Come thru Everything gon' Stop

When I Come thru Everything gon' Stop

Now move.. move.. move.. move..

 

[DMX]

X comes thru the hood, like here comes trouble

Year of the dog again, first week double

Low in the rider, east coast nigga

Fo' in the rider, street loc nigga

Far for jiggie but like biggie call me big poppa

I got a big **** and I'd a pop her

Yea the kid talk **** but the kid don't front

How ever **** go "Give 'Em What They Want"

I ain't signing ****, love my fans

But Cross this line with the camera in your hands

Cause it could get real ugly real thick

And you like this nigga ???? real quick

' right, I ain't got time for the small talk

One of us has got to go down, we can't all walk

You know this as well as I do

But I promise you, I'm go hide you and no one will find you

 

[Chorus] (Swizz Beatz)

 

[busta Rhymes]

Stop nigga, hold up, you know I don't quit

You see I'm back and I'm comin' to smash your ****

And ahhla back with the god and bus-a-bus nigga

This time I'm Bringin' the shovel so I can come and dig another grave

For all of you bustards what the **** you think you doin'

I'll put a stop to your function and anybody movin'

And then I'll **** up production and any crew you flew in

You ain't with me, you against me, The loser side you chosen

Anyway, word to ears, you niggaz know I ain't finished

I'll **** up every hood, and I'm back to handle my business

You niggaz thinking you though like you ate a can of spinach

In till we mash on you faggots and make you change up your image

Flip mode in this , Ruff Ryders is with me

You see we back on the block and yes, we runnin' the city

Now you niggaz know the flow less ain't controlin' the committee

Nothing' should be movin' unless my crew in it, you fell me

 

[Chorus] (Swizz Beatz)

 

[DMX]

If there is money, I want half

Niggaz is funny to watch, go head laugh

Ain't nothing to smile about

For real, all niggaz is wildin' out

Niggaz who pound you out

We found you out in distance

Leg missin', head missin'

Something like 28 ??? missin'

And you know how the dessert do a nigga

Brake you down quick, residue a nigga

Can't stop the flow, Niggaz stop and go

When ever I drop, a million out the door

Y'all niggaz know, X got to be with

Y'all run around on some dumb **** with a slump ****

**** a , you niggaz know I don't mind scrapping

When I see you I see you what ever happens, happens

This ain't just rappin', niggaz talk a good one

You know what let that go, see me in the hood son

 

[Chorus] (Swizz Beatz)

DMX

It's Personal

f/ Jadakiss, Styles P.

 

[DMX]

We all got guns, we all got dogs

We all gon' make that trip to the morgue

We all find it harder to see through the fog

We all know the difference between right and wrong

We should all live life by one fact

Before you doin dirt, the dirt gon' come right back

I seen cats go out like suckers

I seen cats get down like, "Yo, them some bad "

I see fake niggaz and the games they play

Aiyyo, I deal with that bullshit e'ry day

But that ain't gon' stop me from doin what I'm doin

I got things beside bullshit to be pursuing

It's that craft for me, the half of me

Let through niggaz in the door after me

Yo, somebody stop me; please, somebody come and get me

If I go, I'm taking niggaz with me!

 

[Hook: Styles P.] - repeat 2X

Dog nigga, Ghost nigga

Hop the bar with the toast nigga

It's like the Lord getting close nigga

It's personal, now we gotta smoke niggaz

It's personal, now we gotta host niggaz

 

[styles P.]

(Dog nigga, what up!) Nigga **** the cop and the warrant

You get a chance, poppin, informing

All I need is a glock and I'm touring

Hit every hole in the wall, have me a ball

And then slide the **** out in the top of the morning

If you hear me cockin it on 'em, I'm poppin it on 'em

I don't **** around nigga, better stop it and mourn 'em

And who the **** asked you to rhyme?

I'm the Ghost, when I come around, they throwing up the hazardous sign

And you ain't around chemicals, just around generals

Who spend, passing they time, blasting they nine

Rather die with my man then the five for ya livewire

Spend half of ya time, smashing ya spine

Other half we getting money and more money

You think about cars, I got "goin to war" money

That P and that dog money, we still in the front of the store, money

And if anybody slip, they getting sent to the morgue, money

 

[Hook w/ Jadakiss adlibs] - repeat 2X

 

[Jadakiss]

It's like lately I've been feeling so weak at the knees

And speaking to niggaz is just like speaking to thieves

So I keep the hawk ready to eat 'em

Guess already? Then meet 'em

I'm fair game, but I'm ready to cheat 'em

The streets ain't right now, the Colgate White is light brown

These niggaz ain't nice, they nice clowns

That's why I'ma start layin them right down

And have 'em there layin in the casket, ice down

Jacob watch on 'em, mortician must've been hazed up

'Cause you can see the makeup spots on 'em

This is way beyond ya Avion

The Golden King, more like Polo Spring

And what makes it even worse, aiyyo it's that it's personal

Maybe even ya Earth can go

I'll make it where they can never find the

Right outta the bar, with all kind of ****

 

[Hook] - repeat 2X

 

[Outro: Styles P.]

Yeah, y'all niggaz can get caught up in the hype if you want

Bodies drop over here, this is not a game man

You wanna get caught up in the hype again? Then you can fall in the hype again

This is a movement, Double R, nigga you know what's up

And if you don't, you gon' get to know what's up

Yeah, we ain't playin wit' y'all niggaz this year

'06, '07, and on, nigga what's up?

Pop off! You know how I work!

Dog Love

f/ Amerie, Janice

 

[DMX] {Americe and Janice harmonizing}

Uh (Owww) uh oh

It's for the ladies (Ha ha)

Strickly for the ladies (One more time)

Hey, that's all this is

Uh uh (Uh uh)

 

[DMX]

She was five seven one twenty-five

Man, loose lips with those thighs (Uh)

Couldn't just let her walk by (right), I ain't a thirsty nigga

But right about now my throat was gettin real dry

Shoo this ****, had to be the cutest

I seen in a long time and I don't do this ****, like

Runnin up on hoes, what up ma, I'm X

Cause you know how this goes, come on ma, I'm X

We just chill, sat and talk to the first light

And for the first time I didn't **** on the first night

And it was aight, shorty was a thorobred

Like "Belly", we ain't ****, she just gave me head, for real

 

[Chorus]

(Janice)

From the time that the sun is up

Till the stars show up

It really doesn't matter to me

It doesn't matter babe

There's no love like the dog love

There's no love, it's dog love

 

(Amerie)

No matter what, I'll hold you down

Nobody else will come around

Don't even matter cause

There's no love like the dog love

I got my dog love, got my dog love baby

(There's no love, it's dog love)

 

[DMX]

I run with shorty, pass off the gun to shorty

Do whatever gots to be done with shorty, straight like that

When I hit her like "I'll be right back"

Yo, I'll be right back, ain't no bullshittin, I'll be right back

She got a nigga catchin feelings, I'm a street nigga hard body

But, she got me catchin feelings

Man, those eyes, those lips

Be like , those thighs, those hips

She like "blam", make a nigga have to touch somethin (For real)

Not necessarily **** somethin, as long as I touch somethin (For real)

A nigga blood boil when I see another nigga holla (WHAT)

Don't make me have to pop a nigga in his collar

 

[Chorus]

 

[DMX]

Aiyyo, **** is goin to smooth (Uh)

Since Stella got a new groove (Yeah) it's like we got somethin to prove

We gon' make it, rain or shine

My heart is yours and yours is mine

Like Eve said, "Love Is Blind" (Come on), right about now

I can't see **** cause you always on my mind

Been like that, since I met her, had to have her so I went to get her

But I'm a dog so I didn't sweat her

And it wasn't bout the cheddar, I don't trick

I got two things for , couple of jokes and some ****

Yeah the kid talk slick but that's not what I'm about

We got dog love and me and shorty ridin it out, we out

 

[Chorus]

 

[Janice and Amerie]

All I want is you in my life

All I got is you in my life

All I need is you in my life

So I know I'm gonna be all right
