 And don't make me show you with the Magnum 
 If you don't know by now then you slippin

 I got my man and them stay pretty like I'ma stay shitty 
 Crimey it's all for the money is you wit me 
 Hit the bitches, went out I could make the crime 
 And when it's on we transform like Optimus Prime 
 I'll form the head, roll out let's make it happen 
 If we ain't gonna get it wit them we'll take the cap down 
 Bust it off, gust it off on the softest niggaz 
 Money with the biggest mouth, yo let's rob this nigga 
 A novice nigga never made a sound 
 Breath too fuckin hard like you gettin bust down 
 [Hook : Sheek (DMX)]

 Cause they deserve it; with money got murdered 
 They know we died slow if they heard it 
 The nigga there blew up the spot a while 
 and the mother fucker ain't got shot in a while 
 And the stacks will light up, will f*ck the night up 
 blow everything in sight up 
 f*ck around and I'll have your ass right up 
 What makes you think, you wasn't able to stand 
 I got shit that'll disable a man with the wave of a hand 
 The days are longer and seems like I'm wastin time 
 I've got a lot of dreams but I'm not really chasin mine 
 I suck it all up like a sicka fly 
 Cause nowadays gettin' by, catchin ???, an occasional meal and 
 gettin high, I live to die, That's where I'm headed 
 let your man hold somthin, now it's all about you can get it 
 [Hook] 
 [DMX] 
 Rrrrrr arf arf what the deal 
 Well in the back wit ya faggot ass face down 
 Lucky that you breathin but you dead from the waste down 
 The f*ck is on your mind? Talkin that shit that you be talkin 
 And I bet you wish you never got hit cause you be walkin 
 But shit happens and f*ck it, you would of did ya dirt 
 niggaz is wonderin how the f*ck you hid your skirt 
 Right under they eyes like a surprise to the guys 
 just one of their mans was a bitch in disguise 
 fuckin with cats in order heads and slaughter more kids 
 Let me hollar at you all that want to borrow the raw shit (ah-oh!) 
 Knahmean? I'm just robbin to eat 
 And there's at least a thousand of us like me mobbin the street 
 When we starve and we eat whatever's there 
 Come on you know the code in the street, whatever's fair 
 Blood stains and chalk, cause yo man couldn't walk 
 After the talk, heard him out at 1133 of New York 
 Transformin us niggaz so get it quick 
 You know for real that nigga can't fuckin suck my dick 
 And it's gon' take all these niggaz in the rap game 
 to barely move me, cause when I blow s..t up 
 I have niggaz fallin' like white bitches in a scary movie 
 Ah, you know I don't know how to act 
 Get too close to niggaz, it's like: 
 "Protected by viper, stand back" 
 What's that, a bunch of niggaz you was killas demented 
 f*ck why'all what me with this coward finish him descend it
