[Chorus]

Ruff Ruff Ruff Ruff Ruff Ruff Ruff Ruff

Huh...Ruff Ryders

Don't get it twisted y'all (yea yea yea)

Ruff Ryders..(fuck i'm talking about right here)

Recognize, Recognize, Recognize (Ruff Ryders)

Don't get it twisted y'all (yea yea yea )

Recognize, Recognize, Recognize (Ruff Ryders)

Don't get it twisted y'all


[Verse 1: Jadakiss]

Now I know y'all couldn't wait to hear 'Kiss over Premier

Kill you on tape then watch it over a beer

'Cause you ain't nuttin but a movie with expensive footage

That's the reason they gon' leave you with expensive bullets

Ain't none of y'all better than LOX

Have all of y'all dressed up in a suit, dead in a box

Me and my niggas get Redd-er than Foxx

And I don't care if I love you, I still want head in the drop

Niggas runnin' 'round, talkin' that Y2K shit

Crackheads'll still gon' want that gray shit

That's why I'mma always cop the yay quick

So I suggest all of y'all stay off J dick

Too hard for MTV, not black enough for BET, just let me be

Give me all my royalty money, and let me re'

And I'mma have O's for six and halves for three, uh!


[Chorus]

Recognize, Recognize, Recognize (Ruff Ryders)

Don't get it twisted y'all

Recognize, Recognize, Recognize (Ruff Ryders)

L to the O to the X

Recognize, Recognize, Recognize (Ruff Ryders)

Don't get it twisted y'all

Recognize, Recognize, Recognize (Ruff Ryders)

L O X niggas

Don't get it twisted y'all


[Verse 2: Sheek Louch]

Aiyyo, I give it to you point blank, in yo' mom's place

Sort' like Point Break with a mask on with president's face

Clear my space, when big Sheek crash the boards

Y'all ain't just mark niggas, y'all Hallmark niggas

With all that soft ass writin', might as well be in cards

You don't gamble with ya life when I launch these torpedoes

That'll shoot the crap out your ass at Foxwood Casinos

Just me and my Gambinos, drunk as fuck

Winter time, parking lot, DVD in the truck

I been drunk most my life, don't ask me why

Through ninth grade, I ain't go to high school – I went to school high

And I don't care what y'all got, that shit don't excite me

I'm black and deadly and my burner just like me

And I'm quick to stick one of y'all on tour at the Sheraton

See, what yours can be mine, without inheritin'

Give up your chains and them little diamonds in ya ear

Is it worth your family cryin' and the doctor yellin' "Clear!"? Huh?!


[Chorus]

Recognize, Recognize, Recognize (Ruff Ryders)

Don't get it twisted y'all

Recognize, Recognize, Recognize (Ruff Ryders)

L to the O to the X

Recognize, Recognize, Recognize (Ruff Ryders)

Don't get it twisted y'all

Recognize, Recognize, Recognize (Ruff Ryders)

L O X niggas

Don't get it twisted y'all


[Verse 3: Styles P]

If I knew heaven had a ghetto that was sweeter than here

You know the P would pack his bag and just leave next year

But I got a son to raise so I'ma stay in this hell

And I gotta gun to blaze if you play with the L-

Dot O - Dot X - Dot at the end

We the niggas that's gon' leave with the pot at the end

Never too young to die, or too old to live

Ain't it hard to bust your gun, go home, and mold your kid?

I'm ashamed I sell crack, but I'ma ryde for the moment

Know the consequence, I'ma die with The Omen

Two is better than one, there's three of The LOX

Ki in a pot, key in the drop, key to the top

Father, son, and holy ghost of rap – 3 in the 1

Seein' a gun, and usin' it, dog

Dope in at 6, coke in at 5, weed in at 4

Ice is for my niggas, but the heat is for y'all


[Chorus]

Recognize, Recognize, Recognize (Ruff Ryders)

Don't get it twisted y'all

Recognize, Recognize, Recognize (Ruff Ryders)

L to the O to the X

Recognize, Recognize, Recognize (Ruff Ryders)

Don't get it twisted y'all

Recognize, Recognize, Recognize (Ruff Ryders)

L O X niggas

Don't get it twisted y'all
