[Intro]
Y'all n***as ready? Are y'all ready?
Stop! Drop! Shut 'em down, open up shop!
Oh, no! That's how Ruff Ryders roll!
Stop! Drop! Shut 'em down, open up shop!
Oh, no! That's how Ruff Ryders roll!
Stop! Drop! Shut 'em down, open up shop! (What? What? What?)
Oh, no! That's how Ruff Ryders roll!
Stop! Drop! (What? What?) Shut 'em down, open up shop! (Uh-huh!)
Oh, no! That's how Ruff Ryders roll!

[Verse 1]
N***as wanna lie, n***as wanna try
Then n***as wonder why, n***as wanna die
All I know is pain, all I feel is rain
How can I maintain, with mad shit on my brain
I resort to violence, my n***as move in silence
Like you don't know what are style is
New York n***as the wildest!
My n***as is wit' it; you want it? Come and get it
Took it, then we split it
You fuckin' right we did it!
What the fuck you gonna do, when we run up on you
Fuckin' wit' the wrong crew
I'ma have ta show n***as how easily we blow n***as
When you find out there's some more n***as, that's runnin' with your n***as
Nothin' we can't handle, break it up and dismantle, light it up like a candle
Just cause I can't stand you
Put my shit on tapes, like you bussin' grapes
Think you holdin' weight?
Sing that shit!
[Hook]
Stop! Drop! Shut 'em down, open up shop! (What? What? What?)
Oh, no! That's how Ruff Ryders roll! (I can't hear you!)
Stop! Drop! Shut 'em down, open up shop!
Oh, no! That's how Ruff Ryders roll!

[Verse 2]
Man, Is ya'll n***as crazy?
I'll bust you and be Swazy
Stop actin' like a baby
Mind your business, lady!
Nosy people get it too, when you see me spit at you
You know I'm trying to get rid of you
Ya I know it's pitiful
That's how n***as get down
Watch why n***as spit round
Make ya'll n***as kiss ground, just for talkin' shit clown
Oh you think it's funny? Then you don't know me money
It's about to get ugly, fuck it dog, I'm hungry!
I guess you know what that mean, come up off that green
Five n***as or a fiend, don't make it a murder scene
Give a dog a bone, leave a dog alone
Let a dog roam and he'll find his way home
Home of the brave, my home is a cage
And yo I'ma slave til' my home is a grave
I'ma pull paper, it's all about the papers
Bitches caught the vapors, then how they wanna rape us
[Hook]
Stop! Drop! (What? What?) Shut 'em down, open up shop! (Uh-huh!)
Oh, no! That's how Ruff Ryders roll! (What? What? I can't hear you!)
Stop! Drop! (What?) Shut 'em down, open up shop! (Uh-huh!)
Oh, no! That's how Ruff Ryders roll!

[Outro]
Where my dogs at?
