I Dare You
Joe Hooker Lyrics

I dare you (uh, Harlem Underworld)
I'm challenging you to a fight.

To come against me (Harlem Underworld)
Try to stop me if you can.

I dare you (Black Rob)
I'm daring you, Black Rob.

To defeat me (watch the whole thing unfold)
See if you can beat me.

I dare you (from 100th street)
I challenge you from the bottom of Manhattan.

To come for me (To 200th street)
Try to find me at the top of Manhattan.

You won't win (Manhattan)
You can't beat me in this city.

Nigga's got me sittin' on the roof
I am sitting on the roof, ready to fight.

Eye trained, on scope, blessin' 100 proof
I am focused and ready to fight with a gun in hand.

Hand on toes, 'bout to roast
I am ready to fight and take down whoever comes in front of me.

Some kids who flash like they assassins
I see a group of guys who look like killers.

Picked up my dough and be K'ed this honey passin'
I got paid and I am ready to protect my money from anyone trying to take it.

Got the spot on lock
I am confident that I can protect my territory.

Taking flicks around the corner
I am capturing pictures of my surroundings.

She made it where the spot ain't hot
I have a girl who is helping me keep the place under control.

Like a potato, she got five-oh on the payroll
She has the police on her side.

They sniffin' yayo, I don't know what to say, yo
The police are corrupt, and it is hard to trust them.

There they go in front of the store
I see the police standing in front of a store.

Dressed in black shit
The police officers are wearing black clothes.

Tell by they demeanor
I can tell by their attitude what their intentions are.

If they be hustlin' back, well fuck 'em
If they are trying to hustle, I am not going to trust them.

Came to do one thing, assassinate 'em
I am here to take them out.

That's it, that's all, solo
I am on my own with no help.

Single, no more, no less, stocks rang, yo
I am alone with no backup, and I hear gunshots in the background.

Money caught one in his Kangol
One of the police officers got shot.

D.o.a. As his man made his run for the door
One of the police officers is dead, and his partner is trying to escape.

Caught 'em in the 'gator shoes his girl probably bought 'em
I caught the police officer wearing shoes that his girlfriend probably bought him.

Too bad, Black ain't get the chance to extort him
It's a shame I couldn't take advantage of the situation to get more money.

'Cause niggas like that don't deserve to live
People like that don't deserve to live.

Word the myth
It's the truth.

And we ain't got no love to give
I don't have any love to give to them.

For these drop shots who want to be down
I have no respect for people who want to associate with me just to be in my crew.

Want to be clowns, the fail ones
They want to act like they are tough, but they are weak.

I like how all that good shit sounds
They talk a good game, but I don't believe it.

And I dare one
I dare them to try me.

I dare you (I dare you)
I am daring you to come at me.

To come against me (I dare you)
I am daring you to try to stop me.

To defeat me (can't defeat me)
You can't beat me.

I dare you (dare you)
I am daring you again.

To come for me (come for me)
Come find me.

You won't win (won't win, man)
You can't defeat me in this town.

Nigga, I slay, you pray, kill that ass uptown
I am confident in my skills, and you should be afraid of me.

Dump yo' bitch ass back around your way
I'll take you down and leave you where you came from.

When I'm in one of those moods I can give a fuck
I don't care when I'm in this mood.

I mean cool, run and bungie jump off the fuckin' roof
I am feeling good, and I might do something stupid.

I hear voices calling me, givin' me fits
I am hearing voices in my head, and it's messing with me.

Saying tonight's the night, Black Rob, let's write these hits
The voices are telling me to make some music.

In the halls of death, you get left, I'm in the top 10
I am one of the best, and I won't let anything kill me.

Even Rocky trainer and his wife said you can't win
Even famous people know I'm unbeatable.

Scream battle, but you never fought
You talk a big game, but you've never actually fought anyone.

That's like me sayin' I got five, never ran a full court
It's like me boasting about basketball skills when I've never even played.

Stab the devil in his belly, took his Pelle Pelle
I defeated the devil and took his jacket.

Blew the spot down and slid straight to the tele
I took down the place and left quickly.

I see envious eyes, envious guys, different states
I see people who are jealous of me in different places.

Mad we seen 'em, different cake
They are mad that we are making more money than them.

Rob me, tear that asshole out of place
If you try to rob me, I will hurt you badly.

'Cause in the end I'm the head case you gotta face
I am the one you will have to deal with in the end.

It feels good not to be dealin' with petty cash
I like having bigger amounts of money to deal with.

Me and D-Dot all we seein' now is ready cash
Me and my friend are only dealing with large amounts of money now.

And ready ass, splash in the Jacuzzi
We are enjoying ourselves in a Jacuzzi with beautiful women.

Honey from the movies, top notch cutie
The women we are with are beautiful and high-class.

Used to go to Harrah with D after the homecomin'
Me and my friend used to go to Harrah's casino after our school's homecoming.

On my way from Kakalak
I am on my way home from North Carolina.

Me and Merse was gun running
Me and my friend were selling guns.

Musta done something all conspicuous
We must have done something that attracted attention to ourselves.

Eye of the tiger, I know these cats are sick of this
I am confident in my abilities and I know people are tired of hearing about me.

Ridiculous sayin' these cats don't love Black
It's crazy to say that people don't like me.

This is Bad Boy, I put it where it 'posed to be at
I'm part of Bad Boy Records, and I'm making it better.

Lemme know where to put your rosary at
Tell me where you want to be buried.

My enemies, I let 'em get a load of me gat
I show my enemies my gun.

Fine, you don't believe Black real official
It's okay if you don't believe that I am official.

Playa way, get your ma's cake, and kiss you
Go find another way to make money.

You leavin', wasn't part of this plan
I didn't plan on you leaving.

Understand it's all about the Benji's man
It's all about the money, my friend.

I dare you
I challenge you.

To come against me
Try to stop me.

To defeat me
See if you can beat me.

I dare you
I challenge you again.

To come for me
Try to find me.

You won't win
You can't beat me.
