[Intro]

Final call, baby

Yeah

It's deep

Only real niggas gon' be able to understand what I'm sayin'

Ya know what I mean baby


[Verse 1]

Niggas is scared to fuck with the dog cause I'm shady

You remember that kid from runnin up and down from Buildin 80?

The highs are extreme and the lows are suicidal

Got me reachin for the Bible cause I, think I'm genocidal

Faggots think I'm bluffin but I'm not

They say that I be buggin cause I be makin it hot

Knowin all I got is my, is nuts and my word

Though I'm never seen, the dark is always heard

I speak for those who speak with Glocks through frequent blocks

Where the objectivе is to put in twelve, stay alive and lеave with knots

From little rocks bein sold

Then motherfucker, if you LIVE to see 40 then you old

And me bein the way I am, got the devil close to me

And that's the reason why I'm not where I'm supposed to be

I chose to be, on some dark shit

Rip apart shit and start shit until whenever I depart bitch

That hard shit, will get yo' ass stretched

Laid the fuck out

I'm on the edge, life is played out

I made out, kinda good with my last couple of runs

Up the, coast with a couple of keys, couple of guns

Funds wasn't the issue, it was other shit

That had me on some flippin on my brother shit, stealin from my mother shit

Cried by myself and couldn't hide from myself

And if I pushed my wig then I died by myself

Cause it gets


[Chorus 2X: DMX - singing]

Deeper and deeper

With every move I make I'm fallin

Deeper and deeper

These souls from underground keep callin


[Verse 2]

Why is it that I do what I do?

Why is it that only to these streets can I be true?

I ain't never been shit, my peoples been told me so

Hold me yo; these niggas don't know me yo!

Cause they ain't out that mob that's out to get niggas

Rip niggas, hit niggas when you split niggas

Long as there's bodies to be caught, there's shotties to be bought

Hotties that transport, fake Gotti's to extort

I cry for help but niggas don't, hear me

Niggas don't understand me! that's why niggas fear me

Hit the old neighborhood cause I'm bout to end it

Stressin shit that I went through and what I been did

Niggas I offended, will have to take it as a loss

Cause in a minute, what I'm thinkin is about to look like sauce

Gots to pay the cost and this time it's gon' cost me my life

One love to my shorty and my wife

Step to the ledge now would I, could I, should I?

Don't really understand what I'm seein' with my good eye

The hood I, came up in showed no mercy

Unforgiven are the many plagues that cursed me

The worst we went through would make the average man crumble

Learnin to walk, and it hurts when you stumble

Figure out the jungle where you live, if not you die

On my knees, hands up to the sky, why


[Chorus 2X: DMX - singing]

Deeper and deeper

With every move I make I'm fallin

Deeper and deeper

These souls from underground keep calling


[Verse 3]

What must I go through to show you shit is real?

And I ain't really never gave a fuck how niggas feel

I rob and I steal, not 'cause I want to, 'cause I have to

And don't make me show you what the MAC do

If you don't know by now, then you slippin'

I'm on some bullshit that's got me jackin' niggas flippin'

I Let my man and them stay pretty, but I'ma stay shitty

Cruddy, it's all for the money, is you with me?

Get the bitches and I'll commit the crime

But when it's on, we transform like Optimus Prime

I'll form the head, roll out, let's make it happen

If we ain't gonna get it with this, we'll take your cap

Bustin' off, dustin' off the softest niggas

Money with the biggest mouth, yo, let's off this nigga

Up north, this nigga never made a sound

Breathe too fuckin' hard and you're gettin' bust down

Cause it gets


[Outro]

Aight

Its real baby
