[Intro]

Uh

Something new


[Chorus]

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]

Snitches wanna try, snitches wanna lie

Then snitches wonder why snitches wanna die

All I know is pain, all I feel is rain

How can I maintain with that madness on my brain?

I resort to violence, my killers move in silence

Like you don't know what our style is, New York killers the wildest

My dogs is with it, you want it? Come and get it

Took it then we split it, you damn right we did it

What the F you gon' do when we run up on you?

Messin' with the wrong crew, don't know what we goin' through

I'ma have to show n****s how easily we blow n****s

Lemme find out there's some more n****s that's runnin' with your n****s

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 s**t on tapes like you bustin' grapes

Think you holdin' weight then you haven't met the apes


[Chorus]

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 peoples 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 killers get down, watch my killers spit rounds

Make y'all suckers kiss ground just for talkin' s**t, clown

Oh, you think it's funny? Then you don't know me, money

It's about to get ugly, whatever, dawg, I'm hungry

I guess you know what that mean, come up off that green

Rob n****s 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

And, yo, I'm a slave 'til my home is the grave

I'ma pull capers, it's all about the papers

Chickens caught the vapors and now they wanna rape us


[Chorus]

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]

Man, look what you done started, asked for it, you got it

Had it, shoulda shot it, now you're dearly departed

Get at me, dawg, did I rip s**t? With this one here I flip s**t

N****s know when I kick s**t it's gon' be some slick s**t

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 four-four

Now it's time for bed, two more to the head

Got the floor red, yeah, that maggots dead

Another unsolved mystery, it's goin' down in history

N****s ain't never did s**t to me, b***h-a** n****s can't get to me

Gots to make a move, got a point to prove

Gotta make 'em groove, got 'em all like, "Ooh"

So 'til the next time you hear this dog rhyme

Try to keep your mind on gettin' p***y and crime


[Chorus]

Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop


[Outro]

Talk is cheap, motherf****r!
