DMX - Ruff Ryders' Anthem
Written by:Kasseem Dea
Uh something new
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
N**gas wanna try
N**gas wanna lie
Then n**gas wonder why
N**gas wanna die
All I know is pain
All I feel is rain
How can I maintain
With mad sh*t on my brain
I resort to violence
My n**gas move in silence
Like you don't know what our style is
New york n**gas the wildest
My n**gas is wit' it
You want it come and get it
Took it then we split it
You f**kin' right we did it
What the f**k you gonna do
When we run up on you
F**kin' wit' the wrong crew
Don't know what we goin' through
I'm a have to show n**gas
How easily we blow n**gas
When you find out there's some more n**gas
That's runnin' with your n**gas
Nothin' we can't handle
Break it up and dismantle
Light it up like a candle
Just 'cause I can't stand you
Put my sh*t on tapes
Like you bussin' grapes
Think you holding weight
Then you haven't met the apes
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
Is y'all n**gas crazy
I'll bust 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 I'm tryin' to get rid of you
Yeah I know it's pitiful
That's how n**gas get down
Watch my n**gas split round
Make y'all n**gas kiss ground
Just for talking sh*t clown
Oh you think it's funny
Then you don't know me money
It's about to get ugly
F**k it dog I'm hungry
I guess you know what that mean
Come up off that green
Five n**gas or a fiend
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
And yo I'm a slave
Till my home is a grave
I'm a pull paper
It's all about the papers
B**ches caught the papers
Then how they wanna rape us
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
Look what you done started
Asked for it you got it
Had it should have shot it
Now you're dearly departed
Get at me dog did I rip sh*t
With this one here I flip sh*t
N**gas know when I kick sh*t
It's gonna be some slick sh*t
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 four four
Now it's time for bed
Two more to the head
Got the floor red
Yeah that ni**a's dead
Another unsolved mystery
Is goin' down in history
N**gas ain't never did sh*t to me
B**ch a** n**gas can't get to me
Gots to make the move
Got a point to prove
Gotta make 'em grove
Got 'em all like ooo
So the next time
You hear this ni**a rhyme
Try to keep your mind
On getting p**sy and prime
Stop drop shut 'em down open up shop
