And the dog is out, arf arf arf arf
And the dog is out, arf arf arf arf
And the dog is out, arf arf arf arf
It's just D
And the dog is out
[DMX]
Started gettin a little too big for the cage that I been trapped in
Cats new it was a problem, went from robbin to rappin
Guns got the clappin, another trip to the morgue
We all know why it's happenin, another bit by the dog
When there's nothin left to eat, I ate away at my soul
Felt destructive cause I don't give a f** if I go
I know y'all been told I don't give a f** about livin
k**in other dogs got you cats chasin b**hes
Got me itchin to bring back the beast from within
What I catch I'mma eat, in the streets I'mma win
I've been top dog and I'mma stay top dog
So what the f** you got to say dog?
You cats play games that dog ain't with
s** my dick, behind my back dog ain't sh**
Well this is it, from now on if you ain't out the camp
We out to clamp, put 'em up against the champ
You b**h
[Hook x2]
And the dog is out, arf arf arf arf
And the dog is out, arf arf arf arf
And the dog is out, arf arf arf arf
It's just D
And the dog is out, c'mon c'mon
[DMX]
I don't think you cats see too clearly
If it ain't that you must be deaf, cause y'all n***as don't hear me
But I know I got you scared to d**h
How many other n***as you know when you see 'em make you hold your breath?
All a n***a did was take a pause
Did a couple of movies and you thought this whole rap sh** was yours?
Stop being greedy, when was the last time you gave to the needy
Believe me, I run through n***as like hallways with the cops behind
Give it to a n***a all day cause I pops the nine
Man listen, if you don't wanna see your man missin, man listen
I get dough like a n***a in a up north flick
And still roll like a n***a on some up north sh**
The way dog flip out, cats'll never understand
n***as be like "X I thought I was your man!"
Not!

My dogs is dogs that love to brawl
Bring as many as you got cause we gon f** 'em all
Dicks**ed in the hall
The same shorty thats puttin any work on her knees
I'm duckin her call
A dog is a dog is a dog for life, dog been a dog, dog in your wife
I got kids this age
But let 'em keep talkin slick and I'm gon put somethin hot up in his ribcage
[Hook]
When the dog is out, b**h a** n***as get bit or f**ed
One or the two, and I'm not Ja Rule
Feel me? Aight
