[DMX]
What must I go through to show you shit is real
And I ain't really never gave a fuck how niggaz feel
Rob then I steal, not cause I want to cause I have to
And don't make me show you with the Magnum
If you don't know by now then you slippin
I'm on some bullshit that's got me jackin, niggaz flippin
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

Yo, yo ya n...az want to be killers (get at me dog)

And the stacks will light up, will fuck the night 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

Cause nowadays gettin' by, catchin ???, an occasional meal and
gettin high, I live to die, That's where I'm headed

The fuck 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 fuck it, you would of did ya dirt

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
fuck why'all what me with this coward finish him descend it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Get Me A Dog" by DMX and Sheek speak of the rough life on the streets of New York City. DMX portrays how he will do whatever it takes, even if it means committing crimes, to survive in the harsh urban environment. He talks about jacking and robbing people as a means to an end, despite not enjoying it. DMX also makes a reference to Optimus Prime from the Transformers franchise, saying that when he and his crew need to, they can transform and succeed in their criminal activities.


The chorus sung by Sheek echoes DMX's sentiments, with a touch of frustration that others don't seem to understand the realities of their world. He emphasizes that they want to be seen as real and that the danger they face is not just a game. DMX ends the song by saying that he and his crew are not afraid to be violent and that those who mess with them will face the consequences.

Cause they deserve it; with money got murdered
Those with money are sometimes targeted for their possessions

That person brought attention to a location in the recent past


and the mother fucker ain't got shot in a while

The stolen money will create a bright energy in the nighttime


blow everything in sight up
We will create explosions indiscriminately

I possess weapons that can render individuals powerless with a simple gesture


The days are longer and seems like I'm wastin time
The days feel longer and unproductive to me


I've got a lot of dreams but I'm not really chasin mine
I have aspirations but am not pursuing them


Cause nowadays gettin' by, catchin ???, an occasional meal and gettin high
Nowadays, surviving day by day, obtaining enough food and drugs to get by


I live to die, That's where I'm headed
My life is moving towards death


let your man hold somthin, now it's all about you can get it
Give your associate something valuable to hold so that we can steal it easily


Well in the back wit ya faggot ass face down
I will put you in a submissive position on the floor


Lucky that you breathin but you dead from the waste down
You are fortunate to be alive, but your lower body will be paralyzed

But shit happens and fuck it, you would of did ya dirt
Unfortunate events occur, but you would have also been at fault in this situation


niggaz is wonderin how the fuck you hid your skirt
People are questioning how you concealed your cowardice


Right under they eyes like a surprise to the guys
You were able to hide your true nature from those around you


just one of their mans was a bitch in disguise
One of their associates turned out to be a coward


fuckin with cats in order heads and slaughter more kids
We will mess with dangerous people to obtain power and control over general society


Let me hollar at you all that want to borrow the raw shit (ah-oh!)
Let me address those who are looking to engage in criminal activities and use weapons


Knahmean? I'm just robbin to eat
You know what I mean? I am stealing to survive


And there's at least a thousand of us like me mobbin the street
There are many individuals like me engaging in criminal activities on the streets


When we starve and we eat whatever's there
When we are struggling to find food, we will consume whatever we can find


Come on you know the code in the street, whatever's fair
You should know the rules of the streets, where survival is the only fair game


Blood stains and chalk, cause yo man couldn't walk

When I cause chaos, people fall to the ground like helpless characters in horror movies

I am not particularly skilled at controlling my behavior


Get too close to niggaz, it's like: "Protected by viper, stand back"
If people approach me too closely, I become defensive and warn them to back off

Who are these people claiming to be killers and crazy?
