DMX Feat. Sisqó Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

See, this is the fuckin' shit I be talkin' about
Half rappin' ass mothafuckers
You think it's a game? You think it's a fuckin' game? (Come on)
Uh, uh, uh (come on)
(What y'all really want?) Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh
What y'all really want?
What? DMX
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Come on, ride or die (uh, uh)

Ayo, ayo, ayo
What's my name?
DMX and I be the best, you see the rest?
They lookin' like they need a rest
One more time
I'ma spit at you, some shit that's gon' get at you and be fuckin' with your mind
Stop talkin' shit
'Cause you out there runnin' your mouth
And really don't know who you fuckin' with
Here we go again
How many times do I have to tell you rap niggas I have no friends? (Come on)
You still actin' up
Runnin' around here like some brand new pussy that's about to get fucked
The game don't stop
I'm still gettin' down for whatever, whenever, that's why my shit is hot
Can't keep it real
Now, some of us do but most of us don't, that's just how a nigga feel (come on)
I shed blood
For my people that'll keep you lookin' see-through if ever you try to creep through

DMX
'Cause if you want it, we got it
Come and get it, nigga, we with it
All you gotta do is set it, baby
Ride or die
What y'all niggas want? Uh, uh, uh, uh
What y'all niggas want? (What)
DMX
'Cause if you want it, we got it
Come and get it, nigga, we with it
All you gotta do is set it, baby
Ride or die
What y'all niggas want? Uh, uh
What y'all niggas want?

You still playin' games
You gon' think it's a joke until they no longer remember your name
That's how we do 'em
Make cowards disappear into thin air by puttin' shit through 'em
Never comin' back
Last time you saw that nigga is the last time you'll see that nigga (aight)
No more deaths
'Cause in a minute you gon' have grandma being the only family member left (come on)
Bust my gun
If I gots to kill a nigga, but I'm always down for the one on one (aight)
Dog for life
We gon' get to the bottom of this shit if it takes all night
Stop, drop
Open up shop (what)
Fake up north niggas screamin' for the cops (what)
Ride or die
Now what that means is that I'll tell a nigga bye-bye, then pop him in his right eye

DMX
'Cause if you want it, we got it
Come and get it, nigga, we with it
All you gotta do is set it, baby
Ride or die
What y'all niggas want? Uh, uh
What y'all niggas want? (What)
DMX
'Cause if you want it, we got it
Come and get it, nigga, we with it
All you gotta do is set it, baby
Ride or die
What y'all niggas want? Uh, uh
What y'all niggas want?

Look at all these off brand niggas
Runnin' around yappin' 'bout they be holdin' figures as big as Jigga's
That's that bullshit
Don't they know that around me talkin' about what you got will get you hit?
I'm not a nice person
I mean I'd smack the shit out you twice, dog, and that's before I start cursin'
I stay flippin'
One minute I'm cool, the next minute I'm up on a nigga, rippin'
That's my style
I'm a cruddy nigga, leave you all bloody nigga, service with a smile
Suck my dick
And while you niggas that's been to jail before know it's about to get thick
Let's get it on, baby
You gon' be goin' against four niggas in one and you think you crazy?
I've lost my mind
And I'm about to make you lose yours too from far away one time (boom)

DMX
'Cause if you want it, we got it
Come and get it, nigga, we with it
All you gotta do is set it, baby
Ride or die
What y'all niggas want? Uh, uh
What y'all niggas want? (What)
DMX
'Cause if you want it, we got it
Come and get it, nigga, we with it
All you gotta do is set it, baby
Ride or die
What y'all niggas want? Uh, uh (what, what, what)
What y'all niggas want?
DMX
'Cause if you want it, we got it
Come and get it, nigga, we with it
All you gotta do is set it, baby
Ride or die
What y'all niggas want? Uh, uh




What y'all niggas want?
DMX

Overall Meaning

He talks about how he's always "gettin' down for whatever, whenever" and warns those who underestimate him that they'll soon be forgotten.
