Blackout
DMX JAY Z The Lox Lyrics

Fuck that
Disregard that

(This is it right here baby)
(This is the moment)

You know what it is
You understand the situation

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

Now you might see me in a Jag truck
Now I could be driving a Jaguar truck

Mad stuck, either with a dime or a bad duck
Extremely busy, either with an attractive woman or a low-quality one

Double-R T with the matchin' bandana
Riding in a Rolls-Royce with the matching bandana

38-snub blue steel with no hammer
Carrying a small 38-caliber gun without a loaded hammer

And I see y'all niggas tryin' to glance at the 'Kiss
I notice you all trying to sneak a look at Jadakiss

'Cause I walk around with your whole advance on my wrist
Because I walk around with the money you advanced me on my wrist

Phoning your women, drunk off Corona's and lemon
Calling your women while intoxicated on Corona beer with a hint of lemon

And you know I'm still writin' the mean, lightin' the green
And you know I'm still writing lyrics skillfully and smoking marijuana

I need the bugy, even though I look, right in the beam
I need a large amount of money, even if I appear calm

Judge find out it's my team, he boost they bails
If the judge finds out it's my team, he increases their bail

Niggas throw us on they album, try to boost they sales
Artists include us on their albums to increase their sales

We put our pies on the table and our eyes on a label
We present our earnings and seek attention from a record label

'Cause them rednecks up in the mountains'll try to slay you
Because those prejudiced individuals in the mountains will try to harm you

(They call me) Raspy, tell you what I want you to know
(They refer to me as) Raspy, I inform you of what I want you to know

Fuck what you ask me, you probably don't want me to blow
Ignore your inquiries, you probably don't want me to succeed

I got a lot of horsepower so I'm able to skip
I possess a significant amount of influence, so I can evade consequences

Usually a good nigga, even though I'm able to flip
Generally a decent person, although I have the capacity to retaliate

You pay 30 for the 'Kiss (uh-huh) a 100 for The L.O.X. (Yeah)
You pay 30 thousand for Jadakiss and 100 thousand for The Lox

And if we cool, then I write a hook for a drop
If we have a good relationship, I'll create a catchy chorus for a song

Whatever's in the bank is my bet, a z-bull's my pet
Whatever money is in the bank is my wager, and I own a powerful dog as a pet

And you can bet he'll get the legs and the neck
And you can be certain that he will attack fiercely

Yo when my gun bust, send niggas to the fish like Swanson
When I fire my gun, I send people to an early grave like Swanson's fish

New York's youngest Bumpy Johnson, I put fear in y'all heads
Like a young Bumpy Johnson in New York, I instill fear in you all

Sheek Luc', type of nigga gasoline y'all beds
Sheek Louch, the kind of person who would set fire to your beds

And that's warnin', if you all alive in the mornin', that's fine
Consider this a warning, if you're all still alive in the morning, that's acceptable

Now I suggest you hit the block and get what's rightfully mine
Now I advise you to go to the neighborhood and obtain what belongs to me

I want PC, see me? Tuck in your chains
I want everyone to surrender their valuable possessions and hide them

I got niggas my pop's age that lifestyle ain't changed
I have friends as old as my father who still live the same lifestyle

It's like wake up, move a brick, half of it slow
Everyday routine involves waking up and selling drugs, partially at a slow pace

Make car money, check with Sheek, go fuck with a hoe
Earn enough money for a car, verify with Sheek, and go engage with a promiscuous woman

I rock a waist length mink, do-rag under my fitted
I wear a mink coat that reaches my waist, with a do-rag under my baseball cap

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

That's Sheek in the dress-up club 'cause I don't fuck with shoes
That's Sheek in the upscale night club, as he does not prefer formal shoes

And for my nigga's life, I swear to the Bible, let it be told
And to ensure the life of my friend, I swear on the Bible, let it be known

I put thirty in your head, all in the same hole
I shoot thirty rounds into your head, all in the same spot

'Cause we got the same goal, and you try an' tamper with mine?
Because we have the same objective, and you attempt to interfere with mine?

Don't make me motherfuckin' leave you with some shit in yo' spine
Don't make me harm you severely and damage your spinal cord

Fuck with me you be a was nigga, nigga was dope
If you mess with me, you will become an irrelevant person, a has-been

Nigga was gettin' money 'fore I extorted your coke, 'ju crazy?
I was earning money before I levied my control over your drug business, are you insane?

Ayo, catch me with a thirty-eight, box and shells
Hey, find me with a .38 caliber gun, ammunition, and bullets

In a ninety-eight Lincoln eatin' pasta shells
Inside a 1998 Lincoln car, I'm enjoying a dish of pasta shells

Order to go, always got a box of L's
Ordering food to take away, I always have a box of marijuana cigarettes

Blow, stay on the low, get a Heine' and swig
Smoke marijuana, stay discreet, grab a bottle of Heineken beer and take a sip

I'm Pinero, so I hate a snake, rat, or a pig
I'm Pinero, so I despise deceitful individuals or law enforcement

I pop shit 'cause I'm the second best, the first was B.I.G.
I talk boldly because I'm the second best rapper, with the first being The Notorious B.I.G.

Y'all niggaz is son-ned out, let me speak to your father
All of you are inferior, let me have a discussion with your father

'Cause I like to play chess and I swing the revolver
Because I enjoy playing chess and forcefully handling my firearm

If I don't like a nigga, I don't even be bothered
If I don't approve of someone, I don't even acknowledge their existence

I spit, I'm just a crooked nigga goin' legit
I rap, I'm just a dishonest person trying to become legitimate

You hold your nine if you holdin' a brick
You possess a firearm if you're involved in drug dealing

Common sense, Fed drama, you hit the Bahamas, get bent
Use your common sense, if there's trouble with law enforcement, flee to the Bahamas and get intoxicated

L.O.X. get respect like Sonny from "Bronx Tale"
L.O.X. (The group) earns respect similar to Sonny from the movie "Bronx Tale"

Us and DMX, the Ruff Ryder cartel
We and DMX form the powerful Ruff Ryder group

Thirsty to live, are y'all niggas eager to die?
Are all of you eager to die, while we have a strong desire to live?

I tell all my niggas ride, you won't leave with a dime
I instruct all my friends to fight back, you won't escape with any money

Motherfucker
You despicable person

Yeah, yeah
Yes, yes

I'm a monster, I sleep whole winters, wake up and spit summers
I'm a formidable force, I hibernate during winter and come alive during summer

Ghetto nigga, puttin' up Will Smith numbers
A person from the ghetto, achieving a level of success comparable to Will Smith

Surrounded by 6's and Hummers, bitches among us
Being around luxurious vehicles and attractive women

Tryin' not to let this bullshit become us
Striving to not be defined by this nonsense

It started from hunger, til it all went insane
It originated from a desire for success, until it became chaotic

Now bitches notice the chains now that I hit my number
Now women pay attention to the expensive jewelry I wear, after I achieved success

The chickens I twisted see the digits unlisted
The women I manipulated now realize my contact information is no longer available

The beeper done changed, you dead bitch, the Reaper done came
The use of beepers is outdated, and you're finished, the personification of death has arrived

I suggest niggaz stop speakin' my name
I recommend that individuals refrain from mentioning my name

'Cause trust me, y'all can still feel the heat in the rain
Because believe me, you can still experience danger in any circumstance

I keep creepin', streets keep watchin', I keep poppin'
I continue to move stealthily, while the streets observe, and I remain active

Niggaz is hot heads and the bullets is heat-seekin'
People are infuriated, and the bullets are searching for targets

Jay flow for pesos, chase hoes, not
I rap for money, pursue women, but not excessively

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

Tell them jump through the top (Uh-huh)
Tell them to enter through the convertible roof (Yeah)

Where the sun roof used to be
In the spot where the sunroof was originally located

I could see y'all not used to me
I can tell that you all are unfamiliar with my current state

Nigga flows like none other, I'm the meanest
My rap style is unmatched, I'm the toughest

Toughest Don Dada, the gun butt ya
The strongest gangster, hitting you with the butt of a gun

You the type that bust a lot of shots and none touch ya
You're the type of person who fires many shots but fails to hit your target

I'm the type that get excited, when the gun touch ya, motherfuckers
I'm the type of person who becomes thrilled when my gun makes contact with you, you bastards

Y'all niggas 'bout to witness a dynasty like no other
You all are about to witness an influential and powerful group unlike any other

Grr. I'm headed nowhere fast
Growl. I'm making no progress

Run in the place, gat in my waist
Enter the establishment with a gun tucked in my waist

Niggas wanted a taste, but wouldn't come to my face
People desired to confront me, but were too afraid to approach me directly

So what that mean? You cats is playin' games again
So what does that imply? You guys are being deceptive again

So now what I do? Start namin' names again (What)
So what do I do now? Begin revealing names again

All you motherfuckers know, that I speak from the heart (Uh)
All of you know that I speak honestly and genuinely from my heart

Play like you don't know, L.O.X. is gon' bark
Act as if you're unaware, L.O.X. will respond with aggression

We can take it there, but to make it fair, get some more niggas
We can escalate the situation, but to ensure fairness, bring more individuals

Styles, Sheek, Jay, we comin' with like four niggaz (Aight)
Styles, Sheek, Jay, we're arriving with around four individuals

Y'all niggaz, best to stop playin', it'll be the ones you forgotten about
You guys better cease your deceptive behavior, because those who have been overlooked will be the ones retaliating

That'll get you shot in your mouth
That will result in you getting shot in the face

Got my dogs covered (Uh)
I have my allies protected

Plus it's all gravy like chicken when it's smothered (What)
Furthermore, everything is going smoothly, like chicken covered in gravy

"It's Dark," and I love it! (Uh)
"It's Dark," and I love the darkness and chaos! (Uh)

Get him boy, let him loose (C'mon)
Attack him, boy, release him (C'mon)

You want it with the dog? Get a gun, let him shoot (C'mon)
You're seeking confrontation with a dangerous individual? Acquire a firearm, let him shoot (C'mon)
