{Intro}

Yeah yeah!

Darkman X up in here wit my nigga Ron G

Ruff Ryders in the muthafuckin house, you know how we do baby

96 until...

Darkman X, DMX, Ron G, Ruff Ryders

Its all good, my niggas

Im bout to show yall niggas something for real

Catch it if you can baby


[Verse]

Niggas say I'm bugging

And ask me what's that shit I'm on

Cause I did them wrong, carry them greasy, and get 'em gone

What I'm on is some real "fuck the world" shit

And hoes like a cruddy nigga

So I'll fuck your girl, quick, that nigga Earl sick

That's what they used to say in school

Throwing chairs, and jigging niggas with pencils everyday in school

A wise man can play the fool for reasons of his own

I knew that I would understand them reasons when I'm grown

And now it's on

They started something they wasn't ready for

At the age of 10 I'm busting down a steady four

Comin out for visits but what's a visit when there's no home?

Other kids' parents like 'this little boy is so grown!'

I am what happens when you're raised in the streets

All I really want is to get praised in the streets

And he who lays in the streets with your last breath

Ask the Lord for forgiveness and you may have a fast death

It's not like me to have my back turned to open places

I wanna see it when it's coming, so I can open faces

Open cases got me paying to stay out of jail

While these streets, got me to praying to stay out of hell

Slipped, and I fell, got back up - slipped again

But no matter what it's been, niggas never got a win

It's a thin line I walk, everyday but I'm good with it

Project nigga all my life, but wouldn't say the hood did it

Knew what I was doin, everyday that I've been doin it

Seein niggas havin a good time, so i'ma ruin it

Fuck you, and fuck your man, both y'all niggas 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

But when it's on what you gonna do - walk away?

One love Boomer, rest in peace, baby!

Dark Man X, DMX

Now you know, for real

Ron G, Ruff Ryders

Hit me off
