DMX - Ruff Ryders' Anthem

Uh
Somethin' new

Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop
Oh, no
That's how Ruff Ryders roll
Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop
Oh, no
That's how Ruff Ryders roll

Niggas wanna try (what?)
Niggas wanna lie (what?)
Then niggas wonder why (what?)
Niggas wanna die (what?)
All I know is pain (what?)
All I feel is rain (what?)
How can I maintain (what?)
With mad shit on my brain? (What?)
I resort to violence (what?)
My niggas move in silence (what?)
Like you don't know what our style is (what?)
New York niggas the wildest (what?)
My niggas is wit' it (what?)
You want it? Come and get it (what?)
Took it, then we split it (what?)
You fuckin' right, we did it (what?)
What the fuck you gon' do (what?)
When we run up on you? (What?)
Fuckin' wit' the wrong crew (what?)
Don't know what we goin' through (what?)
I'ma have to show niggas (what?)
How easily we blow niggas (what?)
Lemme find out there's some more niggas (what?)
That's runnin' with your niggas (what?)
Nothin' we can't handle (what?)
Break it up and dismantle (what?)
Light it up like a candle (what?)
Just 'cause I can't stand you (what?)
Put my shit on tapes (what?)
Like you bussin' grapes (what?)
Think you holdin' weight? (What?)
Then you haven't met the apes (what?)

Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop
Oh, no
That's how Ruff Ryders roll
Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop
Oh, no
That's how Ruff Ryders roll

Is y'all niggas crazy? (What?)
I'll bust you and be Swayze (what?)
Stop actin' like a baby (what?)
Mind your business, lady (what?)
Nosy people get it too (what?)
When you see me spit at you (what?)
You know I'm tryin' to get rid of you (what?)
Yeah, I know it's pitiful (what?)
That's how niggas get down (what?)
Watch my niggas split rounds (what?)
Make y'all niggas kiss ground (what?)
Just for talkin' shit, clown (what?)
Oh, you think it's funny (what?)
Then you don't know me, money (what?)
It's about to get ugly (what?)
Fuck it, dog, I'm hungry (what?)
I guess you know what that mean (what?)
Come up off that green (what?)
Rob niggas on Ravine (what?)
Don't make it a murder scene (what?)
Give a dog a bone (what?)
Leave a dog alone (what?)
Let a dog roam (what?)
And he'll find his way home (what?)
Home of the brave (what?)
My home is a cage (what?)
And yo, I'm a slave (what?)
'Til my home is the grave (what?)
I'ma pull capers (what?)
It's all about the papers (what?)
Bitches caught the vapors (what?)
And how they wanna rape us (what?)

Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop
Oh, no
That's how Ruff Ryders roll
Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop
Oh, no
That's how Ruff Ryders roll

Look what you done started? (What?)
Asked for it, you got it (what?)
Had it, should have shot it (what?)
Now you're dearly departed (what?)
Get at me, dog, did I rip shit? (What?)
With this one here, I flip shit (what?)
Niggas know when I kick shit (what?)
It's gonna be some slick shit (what?)
What was that look for (what?)
When I walked in the door? (What?)
Oh, you thought you was raw? (What?)
Boom, not anymore (what?)
'Cause now you on the floor (what?)
Wishin' you'd never saw (what?)
Me walk through that door (what?)
With that four-four (what?)
Now it's time for bed (what?)
Two more to the head (what?)
Got the floor red (what?)
Yeah, that nigga's dead (what?)
Another unsolved mystery (what?)
Is goin' down in history (what?)
Niggas ain't never did shit to me (what?)
Bitch ass niggas can't get to me (what?)
Gots to make a move (what?)
Got a point to prove (what?)
Gotta make 'em groove (what?)
Got 'em all like "ooh" (what?)
So 'til the next time (what?)
You hear this nigga rhyme (what?)
Try to keep your mind (what?)
On gettin' pussy and crime (what?)

Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop

Talk is cheap, motherfucker
