One More Road To Cross
[DMX]
Uhh.. this is life (this is life)
This is what I know (this what I know)
So to me (so to me) this is life (this is life)

Chorus: DMX (repeat 2X)

One more road to cross
One more risk to take
Gotta live my life
like there's one more move to make

[DMX]
I'm up at like 6 AM, to check this nigga
He work the nightshift, and I gots to check them
figures
Knock on his door, peoples talkin bout, "He ain't
there,"
but the house is packed,
shit I know he here somewhere
See money get high,
I don't knock what a nigga do to get by
Just make sure you gettin by don't FUCK with you
gettin mine
Ain't the first time he ran off, shoulda split his
shit then
Hate to think of what he's did and if I catch him
slippin
won't be an ass-whippin, I can tell you that
I keep it real with this cat,
he go and sell two packs
and run off (damn) tell me,
he was locked down, up North
and you out a week later? That's bullshit!
I bust off, I need this dough
Fuck you think I'm here for my health?
I need this wealth, because I feed myself
You play with my life, when you play with my money
Playin around but this'll be the last
time you think somethin's funny

Chorus

[DMX]
Yo, I've been casin the liquor store,
for a month now
with me and two other niggaz,
is about to run up in there and shut it down
I got four people on the inside,
one stay in the back
Two stock boys,
one at the register but he count the stacks
Aight bitch, put on the ski mask,
make sure that when we ask
for the dough they know that we takin
all three bags
Now see that?
You gotta hear em shoot that nigga
Matter of fact, you hit the back,
I'll put two in that nigga
Hardhead motherfuckers always get it
I told him what would happen if he moved the nigga
moved so I did it
Did you get it?
I asked my man as he was comin from the back
Nigga opened his mouth said
nothin and fell out flat
This cat come out spittin,
hittin my mans, his mans
Couldn't control what was in his hands
I'm hit, damn! I bust back,
and got the fuck up out of there
Didn't get a dime, but at least
I got up out of there

Chorus

[DMX]
Aiyyo I see it, try to avoid it, but it comes
That's how it's goin in the slums over crumbs
Somethin little becomes somethin major
Niggaz gettin blown up like a pager
Ear to ear with the razor, pour out my soul
Took control of hurt, why must Earl Simmons,
swim in dirt?
I'm gon' make it work, twenty-eight
and tryin to get, baptized
Priest cannot touch me cause he said I gave him
bad vibes
Ryde, when I Die, straight down, but I'm plottin
We all gots to go but who wants to be forgotten?
I'ma leave a mark, and it won't be the mark of the
devil
Throw dirt and may your hands burn
when you touch the shovel
The level of animosity is stoppin me from thrivin
FUCK what them niggaz is talkin about, I'm survivin
Alive and goin through it, but I made my bed
So now it's in these flames that I, lay my head

Chorus 2X
The Professional
Chorus: DMX
Niggaz won't creep these streets with me
cause you know fuckin what these streets'll be
Make you wanna.. then I'm gonna..
cause I gotta.. POP POP, POP POP (nigga!)

I look through the 11th floor window
Take one last puff of the indo (WHAT?)
Look through the scope, and let like ten go
Break it down, back in the briefcase (uh-huh)
Wipe the sweat off my face so I can leave safe(UH)
Outside I breathe safe (UH)
Nigga never saw it comin, hat's how he got it(WHAT)
Never even thought of runnin,cause a nigga plotted
(WHAT?)
Smart niggaz get niggaz killed for real
I know, they make a deal? I'm comin with the steel
(aight)
It's gon' be that cat you don't see that's gon'
pop you (uhh)
Stop you in your motherfuckin tracks nigga and
drop you (uhh)
Get rid of all the clothes (uh-huh) dump the gun
I hate to be the type of nigga to leave you,
slugged and run
but I'm on the job and right now there's more
niggaz that need to be
left with a head full of lead, restin easily{WHOO)
And that twenty G's a fee, put to a good use
The only excuse I have for what I do is,
love of abuse (C'MON!)

Chorus 2X

[DMX]
I can catch you in the very building
that you live in (UH)
Wait until you get right at your door then start
spittin (aight?)
Now they got a ribbon tied to the rail at
the top of the steps (what?)
I was there, you ain't DIE at the top of the steps
(aight?)
I can do that walk behind you shit
and follow you home (shhh)
Make a noise, you turn around and I put one in
your dome (BOOM!)
Last thing you saw was chrome and a,
flash of light (uhh, uhh, uhh)
I blast him right, nigga, that's yo' ass tonight
(C'MON!)
I could put a bomb in your car
and watch it explode (BOOM!)
then make em call,
tell em all they found was
a piece of your clothes
and a small piece of your nose and,
bone from your arm
which they really couldn't tell apart,
because of the bomb
I could be waitin, camped out in yo' car, in the
backseat
with some fuckin chickenwire, soon as you hit the
backstreet
I jump up like Jack-in-the-Box,
strangle the shit out yo' ass (BLEH)
clean up the mess and, get away from the cops

Chorus 2X

[DMX]
I could be the UPS delivery boy (uh-huh)or the man
workin at Toys'R'Us handin yo' kid a brand new toy
(true)
I could be the one servin your food
wherever you go to eat at
or that nigga on the corner that you ask,
"Yo, where the weed at?"
I could be the one drivin the schoolbus
that yo' kids in
except that, I don't like to involve, women and
children (aight)
A nigga got feelings, I just put em aside
and when it's time for me to do my job,
I just ride
I don't get much sleep (uh) my soul's tormented
I wish it was a lie but everything
I said I meant it
I know I'm doin wrong and everyday I beg the Lord
to forgive me for fuckin with the,
double-edged sword
Shit ain't goin too well, BUT THAT'S MY LIFE
I know I'm goin to hell, BUT THAT'S MY LIFE
Sometimes I think what will I do, WITH MY LIFE
Kill nigga kill this IS MY LIFE

Chorus 2.5x
Fame
Take it for what it's worth,my birth was a blessing
Sent to live and die, on earth as a lesson
We each have a star, all we have to do is find it
Once you do, everyone who sees it will be blinded
(WHAT?)
They'll tell you that you're bright,
and say you have a future
When you turn your back,
same cats'll try to shoot ya
Niggaz ain't shit, I can live on both sides of the
fence
Forget what you do, when you talk,
see what you really meant (aight?)
That's what I thought, them niggaz was bluffin
They talk all day but say, nothin
It gets so dark (WHAT?) haze so intense
Since this first rain
it's like it's rained ever since (WHAT?)
Never got paid for a rhyme but I flow (whoo)
Never got a plate on time but I grow (whoo)
Live your life, STAY on the line but I go (UHH)
Went from doin crime to bein kind cause I know

Chorus: DMX (repeat 2X)

I'm gon' live forever, I'm never gon' die
Only thing I fear is that I'm never gon' fly
Carry my weight but I'm never gon' cry
Shit I tell y'all niggaz straight
cause I'm never gon' lie

[DMX]
What is about who I am that makes me unforgettable
(HMM)
What it is about what I've done that makes it so
incredible (uhh)
"More money, more problems"
-- well the fame was worse (uh-huh)
I reached out for love
and what came back was thirst (WHAT?)
Blessed with the curse (uh) niggaz don't hear me
Niggaz don't hear me, Y'ALL NIGGAZ, don't hear me
What'd I just say? "Nigga g'head" - you see that?
You gots to FEEL ME to catch what I'm sayin,
BELIEVE THAT (UHH!)
But leave that, alone (WHAT?)
We gon' make a nigga wanna be at, your home
(WHAT?)
Oh you kinda quiet with the heat at, your dome
If the dog got he's gonna bring back a bone
cause we got the chrome (C'MON!)
This is what I live for, or die for
I'm the nigga with the high score, you try for
What you niggaz wanna lie for? It changes nothin
I'm true for cats, yet some strangers bluffin

Chorus

[DMX]
Now if I take what he gave me and I, use it right
In other words if I listen and, use the light
Then what I say will remain here, after I'm gone
Still here, on the strength of a song, I live on
No second-guessin on what I stood for,
I was good for
stoppin niggaz from killin each other in the
hood war (UHH)
Comin through showin love, throwin up (UHH
) Them cats not throwin love, you know whassup (WHAT)
Dark Man baby, that's my name
and I gots to be the realest nigga up in this game
Cause ain't no shame, they don't make em like,
this no more
Real to the core, big heart but built for war
I stand for what I believe in
Even if what I believe in stops me from breathin
Relatives grievin, but I ain't went nowhere
Listen to the song (C'MON) I'm right there

Chorus

[DMX]
Same old shit dog, just a different day
You know how niggaz do, when we play, how we play
IT IS NOT, A FUCKING GAME!
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
If it's fuck me nigga, you know it's fuck you

I kick it to shorty to try to help him understand
Hit him with work, cause yo, that's my little man
He asked a few questions bout the game and I told
him (yeh)
So when he made a bad move it was my place to
scold him (aight)
Never told him nuttin wrong, kept it fair
Didn't listen, so I might as well have been
talkin to the air (damn)
Everybody makes mistakes, a mistake is aight
But if it ain't, I'ma tell you straight,
time to say goodnight
Nobody likes to be played, regardless of the
relationship
but shorty's fuckin up big time,
I HATE THIS SHIT
I'm caught in the middle of,
havin love for a lil nigga
knowin what's expected of me as a,
real nigga (damn)
My next move is crucial, what do I do?
How do I keep it real with shorty in my crew?
Didn't want to kill him,
so instead of puttin the Mac on him
I did the only thing I could do,
turn my back on him (aight?)

Chorus: DMX

Here we go again..
Same old shit dog, just a different day
Here we go again..
You know how niggaz do, when we play, how we play
Here we go again..
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
Here we go again..
So if it's fuck me nigga,then you know it's fuck
you

[DMX]
Niggaz that I fuck wit, wanna get him dead
But I'm cool with shorty's peoples,
so I let him live
Under normal circumstances,
he would be a marked man
but I hit him with a grand,
just didn't shake his hand (ooh)
Go about your business (uh-huh)
do what you gonna do (uh)
Be what you gon' be, I wash my hands,
I'm through (aight?)
I can forgive I just can't forget
You're on your own lil' man don't
ask me for shit (no)
If you paid attention to
what I taught you then you good (uhh)
If I see you again, GET IT, understood?
Go 'head before I change my mind cause
you know you should be dead
"I just wanted to say --" AIGHT?!!!! GO 'HEAD!
Instinct told me to kill him but the saviour is
I'm a good nigga, plus I owed his peeps a favor
But I also knew, the decision I just made (yeah)
went against the rules of the game that we played
(damn)

Chorus

[DMX]
I should have,
followed my first instinct, cause I knew
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do
Now this nigga's fuckin with the competition (WHAT)
Ungrateful motherfucker,
shoulda got him missin (WHAT?)
This nigga got the nerve,
to take my kindness, for a weakness
Gotsta get back on some street shit
so I can creep this
rat, when I act, take one,
set him up, to take two
get him there, take three,
get him done
Wasn't hard for me to get him where I wanted him,
confronted him
{*barrel spins*}
BZZZZZZZT, CLICK! There was a bullet in one of them
Feelin lucky? CLICK, looks like you are
CLICK CLICK CLICK, luck ain't goin too far
What you did was put on another pair of shoes
and they just happened to be too big
What you did was stupid (damn) real fuckin stupid
(aight?)
Well shorty
I gave you a chance and what did you do?
Threw it back in my fuckin face
so FUCK YOU TOO *BLAM* aight?

Chorus 2X
Party Up
Chorus: DMX

Y'all gon' make me lose my mind
up in HERE, up in here
Y'all gon' make me go all out
up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me act a FOOL
up in HERE, up in here
Y'all gon' make me lose my cool
up in here, up in here

[DMX]
If I gotsta bring it to you cowards
then it's gonna be quick, aight
All your mens up in the jail before,

and all them other cats you run with,
get done with, dumb quick
How the fuck you gonna cross the dog
with some bum shit? Aight
There go the gun click, nine one one shit
All over some dumb shit, ain't that some shit
Y'all niggaz remind me of a strip club,
cause everytime
you come around, it's like (what)
I just gotta get my dick sucked
And I don't know who the fuck you
think you talkin to
but I'm not him, aight slim?
So watch what you do
Or you gon' find yourself,
buried next to someone else
and we all thought you loved yourself
But that couldn't have been the issue, or maybe
they just sayin that, now cause they miss you
Shit a nigga tried to diss you
That's why you layin on your back,
lookin at the roof of the church
Preacher tellin the truth and it hurts

Chorus

[DMX]
Off the chain I leave niggaz soft in the brain
cause niggaz still want the fame, off the name
First of all, you ain't rapped long enough
to be fuckin with me and you,
you ain't strong enough
So whatever it is you puffin on that got you think
that you Superman
I got the Kryptonite,
should I smack him with my dick and the mic?
Y'all niggaz is characters, not even good actors
What's gon' be the outcome?
Hmm, let's add up all the factors
You wack, you're twisted, your girl's a hoe
You're broke, the kid ain't yours,
and e'rybody know
Your old man say you stupid, you be like, "So?
I love my baby mother, I never let her go"
I'm tired of weak ass niggaz whinin over puss
that don't belong to them, fuck is wrong with them
They fuck it up for
real niggaz like my mans and them
who get it on on the strength of the
hands with them, MAN

Chorus

[DMX]
I bring down rains so heavy it curse the head
No more talkin - put him in the dirt instead
You keep walin - lest you tryin to end up red
Cause if I end up fed, y'all end up dead
Cause youse a soft type nigga
Fake up North type nigga
Puss like a soft white nigga
Dog is a dog, blood's thicker than water
We done been through the mud and we quicker to
slaughter
The bigger the order, the more guns we brought out
We run up in there, e'rybody come out, don't
nobody run out
Sun in to sun out, I'ma keep the gun out
Nigga runnin his mouth? I'ma blow his lung out
Listen, yo' ass is about to be missin
You know who gon' find you? (Who?)
Some old man fishin
Grandma wishin your soul's at rest
but it's hard to digest with the size
of the hole in your chest

Chorus

[DMX]
Hold up! ERRRRRRRR!
One.. two.. meet me outside
meet me outside, meet me outside
All my Ruff Ry-DERS gon' meet me outside
meet me outside, meet me outside
All my big ball-ERS gon' meet me outside

All my fly lad-IES gon' meet me outside

Make A Move
Chorus: DMX

I gots to make a move and make it soon, uhh
I gots to take a block and make it boom {*BOOM*}
I take the car and hit it with this boom
Now come on, let's get that money!

[DMX]
It's two o'clock and I'm just about to
hit the street
Til I knock off this rock I don't get to eat
Sometimes that's like that's the only reason why I
hustle
Step on toes, strongarm and show a lil' muscle
Ain't no real dough, that's why a nigga feel so
frustrated
I hate it, seein crab niggaz that made it
And I'm robbin cats just as broke as myself
Livin foul and ain't lookin out for my health,
where's the wealth?
Not in New York, cause niggaz talk about
goin out of state
Money got an eighth, comin back, hot with a lot of
weight
Where's my plate nigga? I'm hungry too
So I'ma do like hungry do, and get a hungry crew
Niggaz that ain't never had, and doin bad
Won't be bad to get up off that stoop lookin sad
Grab your bags, it's about to go down
We goin to this hicktown, let's get the lowdown,
on how they get down

Chorus 2X

[DMX]
I gots to make a move and make it soon
Gots to take a block and make it boom
we comin through so make some room
Found somethin that could be somethin if
I pump it up
This kid Black is the only thing that
could fuck it up
The purple top ?thirty-five smalls
a ring of games?
but I'ma crush him with the black 40 double-L's
I send two niggaz back up top, and come back
we chop up rock, by midnight, we open up shop
It's four in the mornin, we on the block creepin
Killin the cash, while yo' ass is sleepin
Look here, I'm what they call a true hustler
cause nigga if I ain't know you since
I was like six
then I don't trust ya
And we'll bust ya over somethin petty like a few
dollars
Put somethin hot up in that ass and watch
you holla ("Ahhhhh!")
You think I'm here for the hoe flow?
I want the dough flow
and fuck the po'-po', nigga keep a fo'-fo'

Chorus 2X

[DMX]
I spend my money on niggaz cause niggaz get me rich
and a bitch ain't doin shit but suckin my dick
Niggaz is family now, and we stand strong
Thirty niggaz on six blocks, makin the cash long
Shit is good, because niggaz gettin what they been
wantin
and we see the same shit, other New York
niggaz frontin
Stick up kids huntin, but I ain't got no
love for em
I keep the burner and the duster with the
glove for em
Them motherfuckin knockers come at us and chop us
and I know they, really tryin to stop us and wanna
drop us
So we pump, from the alley and the last house
we use as a cash house
It's holdin em strong, it's a stash house
I got runners that work for twelve hour shifts
and when them niggaz keep they count correct,
I don't riff
But I ain't tryin to hear that nigga
took your pack shit
Ain't tryin to hear jack shit,
fuck the black bitch
I ain't a greedy nigga,
all I want is a five year run
If I don't make it, then fuck it,
let me die near a gun
Got bitches to transport without an escort
I'm makin moves from D.C. up to Westport
Local police ain't a problem cause they don't even
stress us
It be them ATF niggaz that have you under pressure
Just so you know, ain't gon' never put my
glock down (why nigga?)
Cause I'm a hustlin motherfucker, and I'm holdin
my block down

Chorus 2X

Chorus: DMX

(Dog) It's more to a song than,
jewelry and clothes
More to a niggaz life than, money and hoes
The game is a lot bigger than you,
think you know
And if you think you know,
then I don't think you know

[DMX]
Niggaz - walk around frontin (frontin) talkin bout
jewels (jewels)
how much you bust tools,
y'all niggaz sounds like fools (woo)
Who you really think give a fuck
how much your watch cost? (mm-hmm)
How much your watch cost?
You bout to get your watch lost (aight)
If you flashin it, you must not want it
See I fuck with real niggaz that done it
You know what time it is, run it!
Niggaz got more important shit to deal with
Talkin about some 4 wheel shit
but my man here is about to kill shit (UH!)
Keep playin niggaz pussy, and you will get fucked
Why don't you cop some more ice dog;
then you will get stuck and fucked
Bitch-ass nigga, hit my street
and see what happens to that iceberg
when it's hit by heat (woo)
It want be a pretty sight,
you and your pretty wife
Oh you must have forgot dog,
this is the shitty life (aight?)
Ain't a fuckin thing sweet, and ain't nothing fair
Just another nigga dead, don't a motherfucker care

Chorus: repeat 2X

[DMX]
Born and raisesd in the projects
and can't forget it
And all that grimmy shit niggaz do,
I done did it (uhh)
And I'm still wit it, nigga I stay in the hood
But when the cats is out, bet the dog,
play in the hood
You keep bringin them fake bitches through
You gon' fuck around and make bitches do (WHAT?)
We take bitches too (aight?)
An if you comin through my block,
it's gon' be the last stop
We blast tops, faggots couldn't
make it to the stash box (c'mon!)
Big ass rocks, I want that! Fuck the blood
All that shit washes off, the next day I'm like,
"What?"
Flossin yo' shit,
what I want for yo' shit? (uhh, uhh)
Give a nigga like three bricks
to feed the dogs with
Cause I ain't really gots to shine
(Why?) When they do, I do
For me them niggaz'll hide you,
where nobody'll find you
If you eatin motherfucker,
then your dogs should be eatin too
Not just four or five niggaz
Cause you know what the streets'll do

Chorus: repeat 2X

[DMX]
I will be the voice of the street til I die (die)
Cause I know if I keep my heart real, I'm gon' fly
(fly)
Either let me fly or give me death; if you didn't
catch it then
get it now, cause it's all that's left
And this will be the last breath (uh) provokin my
niggaz (uh)
to start choking y'all niggaz (WHAT?
) and smokin y'all niggaz
A nigga would never have to say, "X feed me!"
You'll never hear a nigga say, "X is greedy!"
Only, "X believe me! I didn't know it was a setup!"
Get up, cocksuckin motherfucker, shut up
Shut up {*"pop pop"*} Fuck you nigga
From the hood to the wood, fuck you nigga
This for my dogs, til death do us part
I'm still here, cause I been here from the start
(aight?)
If I'm ever anywhere, anytime it gets ugly (WHAT?)
The dog is aight, cuz i kno tha streets love me
Chorus: repeat 2X
[DMX] (*speaking softly*)
Dog..Jewelry and clothes..
Money and hoes..
Think you know?I don't think you know..
Don't You Ever
[DMX]
Don't do it dog, it's just not worth it
Uhh.. grrrrrr.. what the fuck have they done?
Arf! Arf!

Chorus: DMX (repeat 2X)

Now don't you ever (fuck around)
Now don't you ever (fuck around)
Nigga don't you ever (fuck around)
Now don't you ever (fuck around)

[DMX]
Aiyyo I got a mean flow that'll drown niggaz,
put down niggaz
Can't stand to be around niggaz
if they clown niggaz
How many times must I break the same niggaz off
somethin dumb
so we know, where the fuck I'm comin from?
Gun and ones, watch a black nigga turn purple
with this fo'-pound, I bust mo' rounds,
in the circle
The nigga that try is the same nigga that fry
So whenever there's a beef gets in the way
that he die
I'm Evil, like Keneival, faggot I'll leave you
like I shoulda did your peoples before they could
conceive you
How's a buck-fifty sound, for a quick ass cut?
Here's a flasback, I fuckin blow your bitch-ass up
And it's no problem, handlin a nigga with
a death wish
Leave him breatheless, and hit his wife
with a dead fish
Must I show this nigga,
I can throw this nigga, I'll blow this nigga
You can get it too, because your nose is bigger

Chorus

[DMX]
I get pumped, just like a bodybuilder
And it's been more than a couple of times my pump
shottie spilt a
nigga's guts on the door, because he wanted more
than he could stand, now him and his man is on the
floor
That's what you get for talkin shit you
shouldn'ta got me started
You motherfuckers never wanted nuttin,
but you got it
I shit on niggaz like a toilet,
cause all it, takes
is a second for ? to get hectic so call it
How you want it? Punk bitch talkin junk bitch
Fuck around and you'll be found in a trunk bitch
Niggaz is off-brand like no frills
And I got mo' skills to show my fo' kills,
my fuckin fo' thrills
Got some cold shit, have you like -
"Oh shit!" Don't laugh money
When I'm done with this nigga,
I'm gettin in yo' shit
Break niggaz, especially fake niggaz
over dumb shit
with one hit,
watch the dum-dum split this bum's shit

Chorus

[DMX]
Fuckin see some cats thinkin the worst
Dumb cats, them cats sleep in a hearse
Where yo' guns at? Run that, see a nigga thirst
Been there, done that, and did it first
Nigga can't tell me shit about this
And I keep somethin that'll hit if I miss
One thing a nigga stay with is hot shit
Got this, what you cats want? Not this
I constantly gots to remind young niggaz
Uh-uhh, don't do that, some niggaz
think cause I ain't killed a nigga this week
that shit is sweet
Fuck around, you'll be dead in the street
Red with a sheet, over the corpse
Shit is deep, so I shed a tear, over the loss
If you creep,
then you niggaz'll roll with the force
Shoulda paid that money that you owed to the boss

Chorus

[DMX]
Uh-huh
Don't do it dog, it's just not worth it
Please heh, for your sake, hehehe
Y'know? C'mon!

[Styles P]
Holiday Styles
Bitch,
I get you shot in the head or shot in the neck
if I ain't gettin proper respect
I don't care if you rap,
I still spit in your grill
I don't give a fuck, never have, never will
If it ain't on your hip,
then you're lookin to die
I ain't tryin to be the nigga
that's gonna look at the sky
Ask God why I'm broke, bitch, I'm cooking the pie
We all gon' die, sooner or later, matter of time
My niggaz sell crack, with a package of dimes
Hundred or more, in front of the store, waitin to
bubble
Brand new nine, and an eight in a bubble
I put sixteen above ya neck, I love my set
Niggaz think they a thug, then thug to death
Cause the P gonna squeeze 'til no slugs is left
You know I'm good with a hundred of 'dro,
gun and an O
You think your shit butter?
Hop in front of this toast

[Sheik]
Yo, aiyyo, aiyyo
I say what I want, fuck what y'all think is cool
And I hate cops,
cause most y'all was dicks in school
No pussy gettin niggaz tryin to cuff the God
Play Sheik out in the yard, but that shit too hard
My dough too long, nowadays, my flow too strong
What y'all make in a year, I kick that for a song
Check my car, I don't care, I don't play fair
Keep some shit in the stash box,
then get me the chair
And it don't buck shot and the
blast is hard to hear
I'm a true thug nigga,
bring it straight to your crew
Small yell when I rap,
I'm basically talkin to you
You see the pain in my eye?
Nigga, the flame in my eye?
I'm tryin to leave my kids some real fuckin change
when I die
from rappin or tellin
some cat to reach for the sky
I'm that hunt down nigga,
with the four pound nigga
Bounty hunt your whole
crew til my bullets go through, WHAT?

[Jadakiss]
Yo, yo, yo, yo
All I need is a big gun and
a Coupe that's crazy quick
A nice house with five rooms, maybe six
A town where money is coming, eighty bricks
Break 'em down to all twenties, is a crazy flip
Bet you never even felt the heat
til I put the M1 next to
your waves and melt the grease
Streets help niggaz;
niggaz don't help the streets
Y'all use beats for help;
we help the beats
Who want it with me?
Who want it with Sheek? Who want it with P?
If I say so myself, it's a wonderful three
Be in the hood with
all your jewels in the glovebox
Same niggas that-a rob you love L.O.X. (uh)
All types of burners, even snub glocks (uh)
Nice size tecs you could carry in your sweats (uh)
Find your man dead in the trunk of a car (uh)
It's Jada {*mwwaa*} responsible
for breakin your heart (uh)
Uh

[Drag-On]
Creep through the streets
For some of y'all rappers, that's mighty hard
Me the Security? Protectin my body?
I let my shotty guard
Put chill pills in brains,
bullets like Tylenol
Make niggaz drowsy from the blood loss,
got em noddin off
And take casket naps, fuck that
You shoulda never let this bastard rap
All I know is cold winter, hot slugs through your
snorkel
No parents, tale from my horror's no morals
Raised in the wrong era, with no guidance
So you dyin? It's no problem, no lyin
Drag's fire; so ya hamburger beef?
I french-fry 'em
Drag done ate your food
Like I know to raise your dukes
so guard your chin up
Drag barrels, but shit, I spit-bubble your skin up
Drag scorch niggaz for dinner but season 'em well
I don't brag I let the streets tell
Po'-po' now you see he fell

[DMX] {*overlapping last line*}
Uh, uh, now you motherfuckers
know what my name means when you hear it in the
streets (uh)
Y'all bitches fear it cause you weak
You wanna hear it? I make it speak (WHAT?)
You ain't ever bust a gun,
but there's a lot of greasy talkin (uh-huh)
What the science behind that son? (I don't know)
A lot of easy walkin
I bust shit down (uh) got down (uh) kick down (uh)
shot down (uh)
Ain't tryin to talk about what I got now, but I
got now (WHAT?)
I ain't never sold a brick, I done stuck niggaz up
(c'mon)
And for talkin too much shit?
I done fucked niggaz up (uh)
It can get "Dark" for real,
and I think you already know that (uh-huh)
Well think about it with the brick in your
hand before you throw that
Now don't act, cause actin might get you rollin
with what you ain't ready to handle (UHH)
All that's left of your memory, is a candle (WOO!)
It happens quick fast nigga, to bitch ass niggaz
Talkin reckless behind your back,
them kiss ass niggaz (uh)
From the rap shit to the street shit,
I keep shit tight
Let them cats spit that weak shit (What!)
I'm DOG FOR LIFE! NIGGA!

Chorus: DMX (repeat 2X)

X is comin' for ya, can't do nothin for ya
Cause X is comin' for ya
Run, hide, duck, duck

[DMX]
Look in the mirror (uh) say my name five times
Turn out the lights (WHAT?)

Don't get scared now nigga, finish it cause you
started it
Watch shit grow out of control,
now you want no part of it (c'mon)
Nigga, where yo' heart at?
Tell me what you made of
Already lost a stripe cause I know

We both know you pussy,

Plus, give the Feds a real good place to point

But now you know, what you get,

Duckin shit, til that headpiece gets BLAZED
Screamin this, ahh, cease to the grave
Its over, at least for you it is
It don't think the coroner,
to see how true it is
I knew these kid,
but did that stop me from gettin em, screamin
IT WAS ALL FOR THE MONEY, while I'm hittin and
splittin him down
from his nose to his nuts (what?)
Fire department comin, put the hose to his guts
(what?)
Washed away, just like dirt when it rains (uh)
And now because of you, I hurt when it rains

Chorus

[DMX]
My real name is Damien
and my girl's name is Carrie
That Poltergeist bitch is hot,
but too young to marry
That nigga Satan be fakin mad jacks
so I taxed his ass
Every chance I get,
is just another hit (uh, uh, uh, what?)
Another nigga split; there go white meat - another
nigga
takin up room in the morgue
under a white sheet (c'mon)
That's what you get for tryin to take it there
But with this Desert Eagle in your mouth
you cryin bout let's make it fair (uhh)
Sometimes it takes pain to make the brain a little
smarter (uh-huh)
When I think the rain will stop,
it only starts to rain harder (uh-huh)
Part of the game is niggaz wanna become fam-ous
and doin the same shit I do, remain nameless
I want house money, Jag money (what?)
so I gots ta bag money
I ain't laughin, but yo it's mad funny (c'mon)
I used to talk about that shit you got
but you ain't never got that shit

Runnin up in the spot with,

Cause it is-real, you did squeal,

Wasn't surprised to see a switch (c'mon)

Fuckin Willie niggas and silly niggaz

It's gettin dark, and with the cold to the heart
You realize, you ain't gonna see your shorty
old enough to walk, for real

Chorus
Prayer III
[DMX]
Let us pray
Lord Jesus it is you, who wakes me up every day
And I am forever grateful for your love..
.. this is why I pray
You let me touch so many people,
and it's all for the good
I influenced so many children,
I never thought that I would
And I couldn't take credit for the love they get
because it all comes from you Lord;
I'm just the one that's givin it
And when it seems like the pressure gets
to be too much
I take time out and pray,
and ask that you be my crutch
Lord I am not perfect by a longshot
-- I confess to you daily
But I work harder everyday,
and I hope that you hear me
In my heart I mean well,
but if you'll help me to grow
then what I have in my heart,
will begin to show
And when I get goin,
I'm not lookin back for NOTHIN
Cause I will know where I'm headed,
cause I'm so tired of the sufferin
I stand before you, a weakened version of,
your reflection
Beggin for direction,
for my soul needs resurrection
I don't deserve what you've given me,
but you never took it from me
because I am grateful, and I use it,
and I do not, worship money
If what you want from me
is to bring your children to you
my regret is only having one life to do it,
instead of two
Amen
Angel
[Regina Bell harmonizing while DMX speaks]
What good is it..
for a man to, gain the world..
yet lose his own soul, in the process?
[Bell] God loves you, yes he does
Said you're alright with him
[DMX] I wonder..

Chorus: Regina Bell (repeat 2X)

I know you never seen him but don't fight with him
You're gonna make it through the night to the
light with him
Uhh, you're alright with him
I said you're alright with him

[DMX]
I'm callin out to you Lord,
because I need your help
See once again I'm havin difficulty savin myself
behavin myself, you told me what to do,
and I do it
But every and now and then,
gets a little harder to go through it
Losin friends, day by day
I'm in so much pain when I'm here Lord,
please take me away
I put you here to do a job, and your work
ain't done
To live is to suffer,
but you're still my son
And there will be a time when you shine as
bright as the stars
But there won't be a,
his or hers, just ours
Then you'll see what
I've been tryin to show you, all these years
Do the right thing; cause after the tears,
come the cheers
I will, my Lord, with my heart, and my soul
That's gonna be how I roll, from now until I'm old
Lead and I'll follow, you take away the sorrow
I'ma sleep on what you said and
holla back tomorrow

Chorus

[DMX]
I want you to know Lord,
that for what you've given me I'm thankful
Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart,
I'm grateful
You gave us power in our words,
so I think before I speak
And that way when I speak,
they know I'm here to teach
Can't tell em nothin wrong,
cause I love em too much
I reach a lot of people, and Lord,
I'm lovin the touch
But deep inside,
I've got somethin that's workin against
everything I know is right,
what I know makes sense
That's when you must fight harder,
than you've ever fought before
cause what you've got goin on inside you is a war
between good and evil,
be careful of those who wanna be you
They smile,
but are not really happy when they see you
Be careful of the ones that
always wanna get you high
Cause when the time comes,
that one'll let you die
Listen to me! I'm here,
but I can only help you
if you want me to help,
what do you want for yourself?

Chorus

[DMX]
My Lord, my saviour,
don't judge my behaviour
but instead, take what's in my heart
and put it in my head
See I guess I really never knew,
how proud I made you
My life is yours, my soul I gave you
I don't know if I'll do good enough
(he's by your side)
And we both know the hood is rough
(right by your side)
Sometimes I don't know what to do
(X, dry your eyes)
But I know what I gotta do (it'll be alright)
You keep givin me the word,
and I'll put it to song
Talk to me, I'll talk to them,
and we can't go wrong
This is the start of somethin strong,
and this is just the start of it
Praises to you my Lord,
for lettin me be a part of it
I was that kid that, been there,
did that
Became ashamed so I hid that
But, ain't no longer with that
Use me as an example - if I can do,
then they can too
With the Lord behind us,
there ain't nothin that we can't do

Chorus

[Regina Bell]
He's by your side
Right by your side
X, dry your eyes
cause it'll be alright
Yeah, he's by your side
Right by your side
X, dry your eyes
Cause, it'ssssssssss gonna be alright
Yeah yeah, yes it isssssssssss

Chorus

[DMX]

She keep the dog on the leash (when we walk in the

And if y'all think it's sweet
