Blackout
DMX Feat. Lox And Jay-Z Lyrics

Fuck that
I disregard any negative thoughts or opinions

This is it right here, baby
This is the moment of truth and significance

You know what it is
You are aware of the situation and its implications

Yo, I used to have bad luck
In the past, I faced unfortunate circumstances

Now you might see me in a Jag truck
Now I enjoy success and can be seen in a luxurious car

Mad stuck, either with a dime or a bad duck
I am either with an attractive woman or a less desirable one

Double-R tee with the matching bandana
I wear a t-shirt representing my crew and a bandana that complements the outfit

38-snub, blue steel with no hammer
I carry a compact firearm with a blue steel finish but without a visible hammer

And I see y'all niggas tryin' to glance at the 'Kiss
I notice others attempting to catch a glimpse of Jadakiss

'Cause I walk around with your whole advance on my wrist
Because I flaunt a large sum of money equivalent to what you received as an advance

Boning your women, drunk off Coronas and lemon
Engaging in sexual activities with your partners while intoxicated

And you know I'm still writin' the mean, lightin' the green
I am consistently creating impressive music and smoking marijuana

I need the bucket, even though I look right in the beam
I require protection despite appearing confident

Judge find out it's my team, he boost they bails
When a judge discovers my crew's involvement, he increases their bail amounts

Niggas throw us on they album, try to boost they sales
Other artists feature us on their albums to increase their sales

We put our pies on the table and our eyes on the label
We invest our earnings and focus on securing a record deal

'Cause them rednecks up in the mountains'll try to slay you
We beware of potential dangers posed by racist individuals in rural areas

Call me raspy, tell you what I want you to know
You can describe my voice as hoarse and I only reveal what I want you to know

Fuck what you ask me, you probably don't want me to blow
Disregard your questions as I unleash my full potential

I got a lot of horsepower so I'm able to skip
I possess immense strength and agility, allowing me to evade trouble

Usually a good nigga, even though I'm able to flip
Although I have the capacity for violence, I am generally well-mannered

You pay 30 for the 'Kiss (uh-huh) a hundred for The LOX (yeah)
You compensate 30 units of currency for Jadakiss' services and 100 for The L.O.X.

And if we cool, then I write a hook for a drop
If we have a good relationship, I will compose a catchy chorus for your song

Whatever's in the bank is my bet, a Z-bull's my pet
I confidently wager whatever funds I possess, and I own a fierce dog named Z

And you can bet he'll get the legs and the neck
Rest assured, Z will deliver a gruesome attack on his target

Yo, when my gun bust, send niggas to the fish like Swanson
When I discharge my weapon, I cause harm to individuals like the Swanson Fish brand

New York's youngest Bumpy Johnson, I put fear in y'all heads
I am the new generation's version of Bumpy Johnson, instilling fear in your minds

Sheek Louch, type of nigga gasoline y'all beds
Sheek Louch is the kind of person who would set your beds on fire using gasoline

And that's warnin', if you alive in the mornin', that's fine
Consider this a cautionary message; surviving until morning is acceptable

Now I suggest you hit the block and get what's rightfully mine
I advise you to engage in illegal activities to obtain what rightfully belongs to me

I want PC, see me? Tuck in your chains
I demand respect, do you understand? Conceal your valuable jewelry

I got niggas my pop's age that lifestyle ain't changed
I have associates who are the same age as my father, yet their circumstances haven't improved

It's like wake up, move a brick, half of it slow
My routine involves waking up and engaging in drug trafficking by taking my time with half the quantity

Make car money, check with Sheek, go fuck with a ho
I accumulate enough funds to sustain my luxurious lifestyle, consult with Sheek, and engage in promiscuous activities

I rock a waist-length mink, do-rag under my fitted
I wear a mink coat that reaches my waist and a do-rag beneath my fitted hat

And I don't even want waves, Timbs be halfway new
I don't desire wavy hair, and my Timberland boots are only partially worn

That's Sheek in the dress-up club 'cause I don't fuck with shoes
Sheek prefers dressing up and going to clubs, but he isn't fond of footwear

And for my nigga's life, I swear to the Bible, let it be told
I solemnly vow on the Bible to share the story of my friend's life

I put thirty in your head, all in the same hole
I shoot you with thirty bullets, all aimed at one spot

'Cause we got the same goal, and you try and tamper with mine?
Since we share the same objective, why do you attempt to interfere with my plans?

Don't make me motherfuckin' leave you with some shit in your spine
I warn you not to provoke me, or I will severely injure your back

Fuck with me, you be a was-nigga, nigga was dope
If you mess with me, you will become an insignificant has-been, even though you were once successful

Nigga was gettin' money 'fore I extorted your coke, 'ju crazy?
I was already earning a substantial income before I forced you to surrender your drugs. Are you insane?

Ayo, catch me with a .38 box of shells
You can find me carrying a .38 caliber revolver loaded with a box of ammunition

In a ninety-eight Lincoln eatin' pasta shells
I sit inside a 1998 Lincoln vehicle while enjoying a meal of pasta shells

Order to go, always got a box of Ls
I frequently request takeout and always have a box of marijuana cigarettes

Blow, stay on the low, get a Heine' and swig
I discreetly consume drugs, taking sips of a Heineken beer

I'm Pinero, so I hate a snake, rat, or a pig
My name is Pinero, and I strongly dislike deceitful individuals or law enforcement

I pop shit 'cause I'm the second best, the first was BIG
I confidently boast because I am the second-best rapper, with the late Notorious B.I.G. being the first

Y'all niggas is sonned out, let me speak to your father
You all are inferior, allow me to talk to your superior

'Cause I like to play chess and I swing the revolver
I enjoy playing chess and I am proficient in handling a firearm

If I don't like a nigga, I don't even be bothered
If I dislike someone, I pay them no attention

I spit, I'm just a crooked nigga goin' legit
I rap, but I am an individual who used to engage in illegal activities and now strives for legitimacy

You hold your nine if you holdin' a brick
You carry a gun if you possess illegal drugs

Common sense, fed drama, you hit the Bahamas, get bent
Use common sense, avoid getting involved in law enforcement's troubles, escape to the Bahamas, and enjoy yourself

L-O-X get respect like Sonny from Bronx Tale
The L.O.X. crew receives admiration similar to Sonny, a character from the film 'A Bronx Tale'

Us and DMX, the Ruff Ryder cartel
Both our group and DMX form an influential force known as the Ruff Ryder organization

Thirsty to live, are y'all niggas eager to die?
We have a strong desire to survive, but are you individuals willing to meet your demise?

I tell all my niggas ride, you won't leave with a dime
I encourage my acquaintances to accompany me, ensuring they don't depart empty-handed

I'm a monster, I sleep whole winters, wake up and spit summers
I possess exceptional talent, remaining dormant during less successful periods and delivering remarkable efforts when active

Ghetto nigga, puttin' up Will Smith numbers
As an individual from a deprived neighborhood, I achieve a level of success comparable to that of Will Smith

Surrounded by sixes and Hummers, bitches among us
I am accompanied by attractive women and luxurious vehicles like the Hummer H2

Tryin' not to let this bullshit become us
We strive to maintain our true identities amidst the negativity surrounding us

It started from hunger, 'til it all went insane
Our journey commenced due to our hunger for success, yet it gradually became chaotic

Now bitches notice the chains now that I hit my number
Women are now attracted to me because of my financial success and expensive jewelry

The chickens I twisted (uh), see the digits unlisted (yeah)
The women I manipulated can no longer reach me as their contact information is no longer available

The beeper done changed, you dead bitch, the reaper done came
Communication methods have evolved; you are no longer relevant, and your time has come to an end

I suggest niggas stop speakin' my name
I recommend that others refrain from mentioning my name

'Cause trust me, y'all can still feel the heat in the rain
Believe me, you will experience the consequences even during challenging times

I keep creepin', streets keep watchin', I keep poppin'
I continue to move discreetly, while the streets remain observant, and I continue to achieve success

Niggas is hot heads and the bullets is heat-seekin'
My adversaries are impulsive and the bullets I fire are relentlessly pursuing them

Jay flow for pesos, chase hoes, not
I rhyme to earn money, not to pursue women

I just circle 'round the block in a drop
I simply drive around the neighborhood in a convertible vehicle

Tell them jump through the top (uh-huh)
Instruct them to enter through the roof

Where the sun roof used to be
In the location where the sunroof was previously positioned

I could see y'all not used to me
I recognize that you are unfamiliar with my current behavior

Nigga flows like none other, I'm the meanest
My rap delivery is unparalleled, making me the most formidable

Toughest Don Dada, the gun butt ya
I am the most formidable leader and I will strike you with the butt of my firearm

You the type that bust a lot of shots and none touch ya
You are the kind of person who fires numerous shots without actually hitting anyone

I'm the type that get excited, when the gun touch ya, motherfuckers
I become exhilarated when my gun makes contact with you, damn you all

Y'all niggas 'bout to witness a dynasty like no other
You individuals are about to witness an extraordinary era of dominance and success

I'm headed nowhere fast
I am making no progress and moving towards failure rapidly

Run in the place (uh), gat in my waist
I swiftly enter a location with a firearm concealed in my waistband

Niggas wanted a taste, but wouldn't come to my face (uh)
Others desired to confront me, but lacked the courage to do so directly

So what that mean? You cats is playin' games again
So, what does this imply? You individuals are once again engaging in deceitful behavior

So now what I do? Start namin' names again (what?)
What action should I take? Should I begin revealing names once more?

All you motherfuckers know that I speak from the heart (uh)
All of you, bastards, understand that I express myself sincerely

Play like you don't know L-O-X is gon' bark
Pretend as if you are unaware that The L.O.X. will aggressively respond

We can take it there, but to make it fair, get some more niggas
We can escalate the situation, but in order to maintain fairness, gather additional individuals

Styles, Sheek, Jay, we comin' with like four niggas (aight?)
Styles, Sheek, Jay, and I will arrive accompanied by three others, are you okay with that?

Y'all niggas best to stop playin'
You individuals would be wise to cease your deceiving behavior

It'll be the ones you've forgotten about
The individuals you have neglected to consider

That'll get you shot in your mouth (arf, arf)
Those are the ones who will shoot you in the face (barking sound)

Got my dogs covered (uh)
My associates and I are protected and supported

Plus it's all gravy like chicken when it's smothered (what?)
Additionally, everything is going well, similar to chicken covered in gravy

It's dark and I love it (uh)
The situation is dangerous and I embrace it

Get him, boy, let him loose (come on)
Release your dog and allow it to attack (encouraging someone to take action)

You want it with the dog or the gun? Let him choose (come on)
Do you prefer facing the dog or the firearm? Allow him to decide (encouraging someone to make a decision)
