[Verse 1: DMX]

What's all the noise about?

Have some respect, shut the fuck up

Drive by, money talkin' shit?

Yo, back the truck up

Y'all niggas don't respect me but you fear me

And fear is better than respect, y'all niggas hear me?

If I smack the shit outta this nigga, his man over here be like "Yo

What nigga, what," but his man is like "Psych, yo"

Can get from one extreme to thе next

And my shit always bounce like DM to thе X

I can bring it from up here: "Enough is enough!"

Down to "Aight, I think it's safe to take off the cuffs"

Play with words, verbs and slurs, flip styles

Take his and hers, niggas is Curs, I get wild

So don't make me angry, you won't like me when I'm angry

I met a lot of enemies and they all like to bang me (What)

Catch me when I'm sleepin' with one eyed closed

One guy chose to doze, left one guy froze filled with holes


[Verse 2: Ja Rule]

Unh, it ought to be a long time before they touch this here

It's Gotti's consigliere, let's take it there, make a mil' a year

Push Bentleys, ice drippin' off the jewels daily

Ja the one, what, y'all don't hear me? Nigga?

Y'all remember, CMC, '95 December

Fine women, illegal tender, such is life

When I feel like I ain't to be held, who can hold me?

Hoes try to console me, rec execs wanna own me

Damn if I die slowly, drugged out, broke and lonely

Like so many who passed slowly before me

Ja hit 'em precisely (Uh) God just don't make too many like me

Inadvertently shittin' on the top 20

Y'all niggas kill me (Hahaha) talkin' like y'all can't be touched

See, by the time y'all realize I be done touched you up

Blazed you up, your whole style chump, nigga, what

Think again if you thought if I give a fuck


[Chorus]

Yo, yo, independently, rappin' thoroughly

Throughout the NY, we dump and get high

Infrared make it deader

Aimin' at the sky's limit, jumpin' and we all in it

The good life, tryna live it

Yo, independently, rappin' thoroughly

Throughout the NY, we dump and get high

Infrared make it deader

Aimin' at the sky's limit, jumpin' and we all in it

The good life, tryna live it


[Verse 3: Cormega]

Yo, what up to all my thug lords, niggas in plush cars

Rikers Island killas with rough scars

Police, fuck y'all

Live niggas, I love y'all for representin'

Yeah, respect the prison, came home for the expedition

Look in my eyes, you see realness

The Montana quest for millions

My Lex with ill rims, my name ringin'

Chain swingin', ain't riches

Are you my heir? Like, do we possess the same vision?

My insight is deep mental intuition

Type essential, due to this trifle life we livin'

My cypher, elite snipers in the mountains

The Bridge under pressure for mad years and countin'

What? My connect eatin' papaya and supplying me

Cormega represent a live nigga dynasty

Nas and TECs, my hollow heads outline your vest

My only fear 25 years to death


[Verse 4: Hussein Fatal]

One deep from Jersey on an island on six

Now ain't that a bitch? They say Hussein never shit

I shot more niggas than thorough niggas in your crew

You and your mother know, don't go against me on you

Mad career criminal, crime be like a hobby

Robbin', drinkin' [?] or ill just shootin' my shotty

Nigga, you get extorted, flippin' styles, poppin' shit

Bullets small as a GB 30, niggas lose it quick

I had to get out of town, I done shot another dick

Niggas'll roll tricks to keep they mind on thick

I take up parole, they supervise my whole side

Funny why surprised thug niggas on the ride

These hard cats is federal, you soft and shreddable

Dictionary rappers comin' at me all edible

I live past your crew, you know what I'm about

[?] outlaws just hit up another house


[Verse 5: Mic Geronimo]

Yeah, yeah, now, runnin with five niggas

Crimin-al disguised niggas

The live niggas, pull a mac, what (Uh) surprise niggas

Holdin my mic stiletto like, inviting these waterhead brothers

To get splashed back, to take it light

Slided back when we're 16, Romello, my brother

Told me lay it back, aced up and play it mellow

Seein' how I'm a young Othello

Don't confuse me with them brothers

Who lost playin' black De Niro

A boss with this, gettin tossed with Cris

The gorgeous shit, we ballin' flawlessly

Whatever y'all brothers try, but never to touch me

The god, heated up beyond the frequency

Now it's time to put you niggas under pressure, we form

Here I am, if it's on, then it's on

If the world is yours, could you keep it from a nigga like me?

Hold your head, we about to see, muthafucka


[Outro: Mic Geronimo]

Yeah, Usual Suspects

Never suspect niggas, yeah

Oh, what, y'all thought I was gone?

Never that, it's Vendetta

Y'all will see
