[Produced by Swizz Beatz]

[Hook]
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: DMX]
Niggas wanna try, niggas wanna lie
Then niggas wonder why niggas wanna die
All I know is pain, all I feel is rain
How can I maintain with mad shit on my brain
I resort to violence, my niggas move in silence
Like you don't know what our style is, New York niggas the wildest
My niggas is with it, you want it come and get it
Took it then we split it, you fucking right we did it
What the fuck you gonna do when we run up on you
Fucking with the wrong crew
Don't know what we're going through
I'ma have to show niggas how easily we blow niggas
When you find out there's some more niggas that's running with your niggas
Nothing we can't handle, break it up and dismantle
Light it up like a candle
Just cause I can't stand you
Put my shit on tapes like you busting grapes
Think you holdin' weight
Then you haven't met the apes

[Hook]

[Verse 2: DMX]
Is y'all niggas 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 trying to get rid of you, yeah I know, it's pitiful
That's how niggas get down, watch my niggas spit round
Make ya'll niggas kiss ground, just for talking shit, clown
Oh, you think it's funny
Then you don't know me, money
It's about to get ugly, fuck it dawg, I'm hungry
I guess you know what that mean, come up off that green
Rob niggas 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
Aiyyo, I'ma slave 'til my home is a grave
I'ma pull capers, it’s all about the papers
Bitches caught the vapors and now they wanna rape us

[Hook]

[Verse 3: DMX]
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 shit
With this one here I flip shit
Niggas know when I kick shit it's gon' be some slick shit
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, wishing you never saw
Me walk through that door with that .44
Now it's time for bed, two more to the head
Got the floor red, yeah, that nigga's dead
Another unsolved mystery, it's goin' down in history
Niggas ain't never did shit to me
Bitch-ass niggas can't get to me
Gots to make the move, got a point to prove
Gotta make them groove, got'em all like "ooh"
So to the next time you hear this nigga rhyme
Try to keep your mind on gettin' pussy and crime

[Hook]

[Outro]
Talk is cheap, mothafucka
