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

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

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 to DMX Ft. Sheek Louch's song Get At Me Dog are an aggressive display of DMX’s lyrical prowess, displaying his attitude towards life, which is characterized by criminality and violence. The chorus β€œWhere my dogs at” is symbolic of DMX and his crew who are always on the prowl, looking for easy targets to rob and commit crimes with. DMX is an unapologetic gangster who believes that he is above the law and will stop at nothing to get what he wants, even if it means committing violent acts.


The lyrics also highlight DMX’s disregard for human life as he brags about robbing and assaulting people, describing it as a means to an end. He talks about his actions as if it is something that he is compelled to do rather than something he enjoys. He seems to be missing a moral compass, and his actions are fueled by his feelings of desperation and hopelessness. Overall, the song is a dark and gritty depiction of the harsh realities of life on the wrong side of the law.
