Ruff Ryders' Anthem - DMX

Lyrics by：Kasseem Dea

Composed by：Kaseem Dean/DMX

Something 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

N***as wanna try n***as wanna lie

Then n***as wonder why n***as wanna die

All I know is pain all I feel is rain

How can I maintain with that s**t on my brain

I resort to violence my n***as move in silence

Like you don't know what our style is

New York n***as the wildest

My n***as is with it you want it come and get it

Took it then we split it you f**kin' right we did it

What the f**k you gon' do when we run up on you

F**kin' with the wrong crew

Don't know what we're goin' through

I'ma have to show n***as how easily we blow n***as

When you find out there's some mo' n***as

That's runnin' with yo n***as

Nothin' we can't handle break it up and dismantle

Light it up like a candle just 'cause I can't stand you

Put my s**t on tapes like you bustin' grapes

Think you holdin' weight

Then you haven't met the apes

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 n***as crazy

I'll bust you and be Swayze

Stop actin' like a baby mind your business lady

Nosy people get it too when you see me spit at you

You know I'm tryin' to get rid of you yeah I know it's pitiful

That's how n***as get down

Watch my n***as spit rounds

Make y'all n***as kiss ground just for talkin' s**t clown

Oh you think it's funny

Then you don't know me money

It's about to get ugly f**k it dawg I'm hungry

I guess you know what that mean

Come up off that green rob n***as on ravine

Don't make it a murder scene

Give a dog a bone leave a dog alone

Let a dog roam and he'll find his way home

Home of the brave my home is a cage

Ayo I'ma slave till my home is a grave

I'ma pull capers it's all about the papers

B***hes caught the vapors and now they wanna rape us

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 asked for it you got it

Had it shoulda shot it now you're dearly departed

Get at me dawg did I rip s**t

With this one here I flip s**t

N***as know when I kick s**t it's gon' be some slick s**t

What was that look for when I walked in the door

Oh you thought you was raw

Boom not anymore

'Cause now you on the floor wishin' you never saw

Me walk through that door with that .44

Now it's time for bed two more to the head

Got the floor red yeah that n***a's dead

Another unsolved mystery it's goin' down in history

N***as ain't never did s**t to me

B***h-a*s n***as can't get to me

Gots to make the move got a point to prove

Gotta make them groove got 'em all like "Ooh"

So to the next time you hear this n***a rhyme

Try to keep your mind on gettin' p***y and crime

Stop drop shut 'em down open up shop

Talk is cheap motherf**ker
