[Verse 1: DMX]
Money, money, money
Bitches, bitches, bitches
All these fucking killers, but the jail's full of snitches
A dollar ain't got a fucking thing to do with riches
Say cheese, now I got pictures of what a bitch is (woo)
Got a crew of guerillas, stomp n***as like roaches (Uh)
Put n***as lights out, buenas noches
You can go to the left, but don't lose the focus (Look here)
Whatever the fuck you do, don't lose the focus (Alright?)
Ain't nothing changed, n***as throw them R's up (Woo)
Come through on a higher boost, light them cars up (Brrat, brrat)
Vatos Locos, man we are nuts (Running)
You know that's us when we tear shit up, what? (C'mon)
We get's it in, no muthafucking doubt (Yeah)
Ain't got to pop a n***a, I punch him in his mouth (Babow, babow)
Got ya soft like funeral music, cut it out
For real, fuck is all the noise about, bitch?

If it walk like a duck, I'mma treat it like a duck
If it look like pussy, then it's gon' get fucked (Arf! Arf!)
See, we get down for real, blam n***as from the truck (Blam!)
And you can keep talking slick but you don't get stuck
You cats making funny moves and I don't know what you up to
But keep talking slick and you gon' make me say fuck you
I'm a grown ass n***a, walk alone ass n***a
Bring it to you (Uh)
Ain't no beefing on the phone ass n***a (For real)
Nowadays there's so much bitch in n***as
I wouldn't be surprised if there was dick in n***as (Make it stop!)
They don't make 'em like they used to (Uh)
But y'all better get used to (Uh)
A n***a keeping it real (Uh)
Just because he choose to (Alright?)
They know I'm in some pain because I go against the grain
Go against the game and show a n***a that thing
Throw a n***a the flame (What?)
Keep n***as up (Ayy)
Double R for life, we deep n***a, what? (C'mon)

[Bridge: DMX]
All my life

Problems I've been juggling
But I'ma be alright
All my life

Problems I've been juggling
But I'ma be alright
All my life

Problems I've been juggling
But I'ma be alright [x4]
[Outro: DMX]
Man, man, man, suck a dick

Fuck outta here with that bullshit, hey
