On Top
DMX Feat. Big Stan Lyrics

Uhh.. yeah, uhh
DMX starts the song with some energetic noises

Uhh, uhh, uhh, uhh - WHAT!
DMX continues making noises, adding a 'WHAT!' at the end

We gon' make these cats (WHAT!) STOP!
DMX and Big Stan are determined to stop their competition

Why they waitin to (WHAT!) GO!
They wonder why their competition is waiting to make a move

We gon' keep it (ON TOP!) ON TOP!
They vow to stay on top of the competition

Why these cats is like (YO!) AIYYO!
They question why their competition is acting so surprised

Song ain't a song without X and the B.S.
DMX and Big Stan believe they are essential to the rap game

Earl, Stan - initials E.S.
DMX and Big Stan refer to themselves by their initials

About to shut it down, y'all don't see this?
They are about to take over and are surprised their competitors haven't noticed

Oh my God (WHAT!) y'all don't see this?
They express their disbelief that their competitors haven't seen their success coming

Started with a little, raising the pups
They started from humble beginnings and grew to be influential in the rap game

Now I'm a home-run hitter, we raising our cups
DMX sees himself as a successful artist and they are celebrating their accomplishments

Toastin, to all the roastin we done (UHH)
They celebrate their ability to roast their competition

Bite hard, done bit hard but don't run (UHH)
They will face any challenge and won't back down

My dogs is dogs with official +Bloodlines+
DMX and his crew are legitimate and respected artists

Cats want - mine? X Blood-line?
Their competition wants DMX's success and legitimacy

Oh you tryna get hit in the HEAD one time
They threaten those who try to take their success

Straight to the body with the whole .29 (WHAT!)
They will use force to protect their success

It's gon' be whatever it's gon' be (UHH!)
DMX accepts that things will happen according to fate

And I'm gon' see whatever I'm gon' see (UHH!)
DMX will deal with the circumstances he's given

And I'm gon' do whatever I'm gon' do
DMX will do whatever he needs to do to maintain his success

So if it's fuck me nigga, then FUCK YOU too! (C'MON!)
DMX won't tolerate any disrespect or threats to his success

Off the chain I'ma run through, walk through, gun do haunt you
Big Stan is a force to be reckoned with, he will pursue his goals relentlessly

A gun puts a spark through, no tellin what the hawk do (WHAT!)
Big Stan's gun is a powerful weapon that can cause chaos

Only speak for me, no tellin what the Dog do
Big Stan is the only one responsible for his own actions

(Dog do what the fuck Dog do, shit!)
Big Stan will do whatever he needs to do to get ahead

Yo' crew leave it alone (uh-uh!)
They warn their competition to stay away from their crew

You got your eyes on the bone? (uh-uh!)
They warn their competition not to covet their success

Can't keep your eyes of the throne? (Go on now)
They taunt their competition to try and take their spot

With that shit you did (man, c'mon now!)
Their competition has done something to deserve retaliation

I'm gettin sick of niggaz fuckin with D
DMX is tired of people trying to undermine his success

You fuckin with D? You fuckin with me
DMX sees himself and his success as inseparable from one another

You fuckin with me? You fuckin with X
Any attack on DMX will be seen as an attack on his success

Fuckin with X? You fuckin with a softball-sized hole up in your vest
DMX will use violent means to protect his success

And the rest? (WHAT!) Ain't nothin to rap about
They don't want to waste their time talking about anything besides their success

Ain't no ("I ain't mean it!") when the strap is out
When violence is involved, apologies won't suffice

Ain't no ("Yo, sorry!") when the rats is out
Snitches don't matter when it comes to protecting their success

Cause the rats don't know shit but POINT MONEY OUT! (UHH!)
Snitches only care about their own gains and will betray anyone for money

School Street, Moulfred, Whitney Young
DMX names the streets he lived on

Been there, lived there, now it's become
DMX reflects on his past and how things have changed

a place where the face I'm not familiar with
DMX is in unfamiliar territory

These new cats done got me on some "I'MA KILL YOU SHIT!"
DMX threatens violence against his new competition

And I remember when you came through flyin, a 1-2-9
Big Stan remembers when DMX made a name for himself

Scooped ya man up and he signed to the 'Line
DMX helped sign someone to his record label

I got a deal, shit I'm still in the grind (WHAT!)
Big Stan is still working hard even after achieving success

Got the steal, cause shit is still on my mind
Big Stan is still motivated by success

You gots to watch niggaz that you talk to
DMX warns against trusting the wrong people

Cause sometimes they talk to you funny, whassup wit'chu money?
People will take advantage of you if they think they can get money from you

Oh you think it's sweet? My name must be Honey
DMX mocks those who underestimate him

Funny, 'til you leave with your head bloody
DMX will retaliate against anyone who tries to hurt him

And what he gon' do when a 6-foot-3
Big Stan is a physically intimidating presence

430-pound motherfucker come through? (WHAT!)
Big Stan is ready to use his size as an advantage

NOTHIN! (C'MON!) Breathe easy!
Their competition won't be able to do anything against them

When cats talk slick dogs get GREASY!
DMX and Big Stan will react violently if anyone tries to talk down to them

Why these cats is like (YO!) AIYYO!
DMX and Big Stan question why their competition is so surprised by their success
