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
[Verse 1]
n***as wanna try, n***as wanna lie
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 sh** on my brain
I resort to violence, my n***as move in silence
Like you don't know what our style is
New York n***as the wildest
My n***as is with it; you want it, come and get it
Took it, then we split it, you f**in' right we did it
What the f** you gon' do when we run up on you?
f**in' with the wrong crew
Don't know what we're goin' through
I'ma have to show n***as how easily we blow n***as
When you find out there's some mo' n***as
That's runnin' with yo' 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 sh** on tapes like you bustin' grapes
Think you holdin' weight, then you haven't met the apes
[Hook]
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
[Verse 2]
Is y'all n***as crazy? I'll bust you and be Swayze
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 tryin' to get rid of you, yeah, I know, it's pitiful
That's how n***as get down, watch my n***as spit rounds
Make y'all n***as kiss ground, just for talkin' sh**, clown
Oh, you think it's funny? Then you don't know me, money
It's about to get ugly, f** it, dawg, I'm hungry
I guess you know what that mean, come up off that green
Rob n***as on ravine, 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
Ayo, I'ma slave 'til my home is a grave
I'ma pull capers, it's all about the papers
b**hes caught the vapors, and now they wanna rape us
[Hook]
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
[Verse 3]
Look what you done started, asked for it, you got it
Had it, should've shot it, now you're dearly departed
Get at me, dawg, did I rip sh**? With this one here I flip sh**
n***as know when I kick sh** it's gon' be some slick sh**
What was that look for when I walked in the door?
Oh, you thought you was raw?! Boom! Not anymore
‘Cause now you on the floor, wishin' you never saw
Me walk through that door with that .44
Now it's time for bed, two more to the head
Got the floor red, yeah, that n***a's dead
Another unsolved mystery, it's goin' down in history
n***as ain't never did sh** to me
b**h-a** n***as can't get to me
Gots to make the move, got a point to prove
Gotta make them groove, got 'em all like, "Ooh!"
So to the next time you hear this n***a rhyme
Try to keep your mind on gettin' p**y and crime
[Hook]
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
[Outro]
Talk is cheap, mothaf**a!
