DMX Ruff Ryders' Anthem (1998) Lyrics

[dmx]
Somethin new

(chorus 2x)
Stop, drop, shut em down open up shop oh, no
Thats how ruff ryders roll

[dmx]
n____z wanna try, n____z wanna lie
Then n____z wonder why, n____z wanna die
All I know is pain all I feel is rain
How can I maintain, with mad s___ on my brain
I resort to violence, my n____z move in silence
Like you dont know what are style is
New york n____z the wildest
My n____z is wit it
You want it? come and get it
Took it then we split it
You f___in right we did it
What the f___ you gonna do
When we run up on you
f___in wit the wrong crew
Dont know what we goin thru
Ima have ta show n____z
How easily we blow n____z
When you find out theres somemore n____s
Thats runnin with your n____z
Nothin we cant handle
Break it up and dismantle
Light it up like a candle
Just cause I cant stand you
Put my s___ on tapes
Like you bussin grapes
Think you holdin weight?
Then you havent met the apes

(chorus 2x)

[dmx]
Is yall n____z crazy?
Ill buss you and be swazy
Stop actin like a baby,
Mind your business lady
Nosy people get it too, when you see me spit at you
You know Im tryin ta get rid of you
Yeah I know its pitiful
Thats how n____z get down
Watch why n____z spit round
Make yall n____z kiss ground
Just for talkin s___ clown
Oh you think its funny
Then you dont know me money
Its about to get ugly
f___ it dog Im hungry
I guess you know what that mean
Come up off that green
Five n____z or a fiend
Dont make it a murder scene
Give a dog a bone
Leave a dog alone
Let a dog roam and hell find his way home
Home of the brave, my home is a cage
And yo ima slave til my home is a grave
Ima pull paper, its all about the papers
b____es talkin paper, then how they wanna rape us

(chorus 2x)

[dmx]
Look what you just started
Asked for it, you got it
Had it, should have shot it
Now your dearly departed
Get at me dog,
Did I rip s___
With this one here I flip s___
n____z know when I kick s___
Its gonna be some slick s___
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 4 4
Now its time for bed
Two more to the head, got the floor red
Yeah that n____s dead
Another unsolved mystery,
Its goin down in history
n____z aint never did s___ to me
b____ a__ n____z cant get to me
Gots to make the move,
Got a point to prove
Got a makeem grove, gotem all like ooh
So to the next time, you hear this n____ rhyme
Try to keep your mind, on gettin p____ and crime

(chorus 1x)

(gunfire!)
