[Intro - Swizz Beatz, DMX] Whoo whoo! Dog ni-gga What? Whoo whoo! Dog ni-gga Uhh, ruff ryders, what?! Volume one, Swizz Beats (whooo!) What?! Uhh, uhh, (what?!) all aboard! [Verse 1 - DMX] If I thought y'all n***az really wanted drama I'da been pulled out the armor, word to my momma I'ma -- hit y'all n***az with somethin that you ain't never felt (what?!) Hit y'all n***az for frontin you caught up in that hell (what?!) If I thought that half the sh** that b**hes said was true I'd be spitting lead at you, to dead your crew But -- if you know a b**h, you don't listen to that b**h You don't argue with that b**h, all you do is f** that b**h! If I listened to all the snake n***az 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 f** with cowards, cause a coward'll be a coward He'll end up k**in these cowards, and I'm not feelin these cowards! If I let the n***az 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***az eat it and sh** it, you cats want it? come and get it! [Chorus - DMX, Swizz Beatz]x2 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 - DMX] 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***az 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***az havin a good time, so i'ma ruin it (yeah) f** you, and f** your man, both y'all n***az 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 - DMX] Man, I told you I lock jaws, carry a glock four Close my eyes on y'all n***az, the bullets'll watch yours Then I gotta open up another can of a**-whippin Y'all n***az better pucker up, time for some real a**-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 atnight Handle whatever's comin when I get there, but I'm good (what?!) Dismantle whatever's comin, y'all n***az sit there and put up hoods! How my n***az feelin? (good!) how my n***az like it? (rough!) What my n***az want? (blood!) we stay callin n***az bluff But if it's got to be, then it's gon' be, c'mon let's eat Whatever my n***az want from me, is what my n***az gonna get from me And if I ever.. let the words, of another n***a bother me I might as well.. let the s**m, of that other n***a father me But they know, like I know, the black rhino n***az rippin through em and let the nine blow n***a die slow! oh.. oh oh!!
