[Left and right DMX parts simultaneous]
Whoo whoo! Dog ni-gga
WHAT?
Whoo whoo! Dog ni-gga

[Swizz Beatz]
Uhh, Ruff Ryders, WHAT?!
Volume One, Swizz Beats (WHOOO!)
WHAT?!
Uhh, uhh, (WHAT?!) all aboard!

[Verse 1]
If I thought y'all n***as really wanted drama
I woulda been pulled out the armor, word to my momma
I'mma -- hit y'all n***as with somethin that you ain't never felt (WHAT?!)
Hit y'all n***as for frontin you caught up in that hell (WHAT?!)
If I thought that half the shit that bitches said was true
I'd be spitting lead at you, to dead your crew
But -- if you know a bitch, you don't listen to that bitch
You don't argue with that bitch, all you do is fuck that bitch!
If I listened to all the snake n***as that's runnin they mouth
I wouldn't be in the crib, I'd be loadin up, to run in your house
But -- you can't fuck with cowards, cause a coward'll be a coward
He'll end up killin these cowards, and I'm not feelin these cowards!
If I let the n***as around my way tell me how to feel about me
I guess I really, wouldn't be D
But I'm the best that ever did it, the best at it because I live it
How many n***as eat it and shit it, you cats want it? Come and get it!
Chorus: DMX (repeat 2X)

Grrr, ARF ARF, woo woo!
Grrr, ARF ARF, woo woo!
Tell me how you feelin now (WHAT?!) I know you illin now (WHAT?!)
Tell me how you feelin now (WHAT?!) I know you illin now (WHAT?!)

[Verse 2]
It's not like me to have my back turned to open places
I wanna SEE it when it's comin, so I can open faces
Open cases got me PAYIN to stay out of jail (WHAT?!)
While these streets, got me to prayin to stay out of hell (C'MON!)
Slipped, and I fell, got back up -- slipped again
But no matter what it's been, n***as never got a win
It's a thin line I walk, everyday but I'm good with it!
Project n***a all my life, but wouldn't say the hood did it!
Knew what I was doin, everyday that I've been doin it (okay)
Seein n***as havin a good time, so I'mma ruin it (yeah)
Fuck you, and fuck your man, both y'all n***as is puss!
Frontin like you out the jungle but ain't never seen a bush!
When push comes to shove, whatever love we had take it witchu
Now peep what I just said and see how long it takes to hit you
Everybody knows you can talk all day (YES)
But when it's on what you gonna do - walk away? (YES)

Chorus
[Verse 3]
Man, I told you I lock jaws, carry a Glock four
Close my eyes on y'all n***as, the bullets'll watch yours
Then I gotta open up another can of ass-whippin
Y'all n***as better pucker up, time for some real ass-kissin
I'm a simple man, I lead a simple life, I mean simple like
I don't need much to be aight, live off the land, eat at night
Handle whatever's comin when I get there, but I'm good (WHAT?!)
Dismantle whatever's comin, y'all n***as sit there and put up hoods!
How my n***as feelin? (GOOD!) How my n***as like it? (ROUGH!)
What my n***as want? (BLOOD!) We stay callin n***as bluff
But if it's got to be, then it's gon' be, c'mon let's eat
Whatever my n***as want from me, is what my n***as gonna get from me
And if I ever.. let the words, of another n***a bother me
I might as well.. let the sperm, of that other n***a father me
But they know, like I know, the black Rhino
N***as rippin through em and let the nine blow
N***a die slow! Oh.. oh oh!!

Chorus 3X
