Get At Me Dog
DMX feat Sheik Lyrics

(Yeah, I'm right here, dog)
Asking where my dogs are and responding that I am right here

(We right here, dog)
Reiterating that we are all right here

(I'm right here, dog)
Confirming that I am still right here

What must I go through to show you shit is real?
Questioning what I have to do to prove that what I say is true

And I ain't really never gave a fuck how niggas feel
Asserting that I have never cared about how others feel

Rob then I steal, not 'cause I want to, 'cause I have to
Admitting that I rob and steal out of necessity rather than desire

And don't make me show you with the Magnum
Threatening to use a Magnum if provoked

If you don't know by now, then you slippin'
Indicating that if someone does not already know what I am capable of, they are missing something important

I'm on some bullshit that's got me jackin', niggas flippin'
Acknowledging that my behavior is problematic and has led me to steal from and intimidate others
