DMX - Ruff Ryders' Anthem

Uh 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

Niggas wanna try, niggas wanna lie Then niggas wonder why niggas wanna die All I know is pain, all I feel is rain How can I maintain with that shit on my brain? I resort to violence, my niggas move in silence Like you don't know what our style is New York niggas the wildest My niggas is with it, you want it? Come and get it Took it then we split it, you fuckin' right we did it

What the fuck you gon' do when we run up on you? Fuckin' with the wrong crew Don't know what we're goin' through I'ma have to show niggas how easily we blow niggas When you find out there's some mo' niggas That's runnin' with yo' niggas 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 shit 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 niggas 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 niggas get down Watch my niggas spit rounds Make y'all niggas kiss ground just for talkin' shit, clown Oh, you think it's funny? Then you don't know me, money It's about to get ugly, fuck it, dawg, I'm hungry

I guess you know what that mean Come up off that green, rob niggas 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 'til my home is a grave I'ma pull capers, it's all about the papers Bitches 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 shit? With this one here, I flip shit Niggas know when I kick shit, it's gon' be some slick shit

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 nigga's dead

Another unsolved mystery, it's goin' down in history Niggas ain't never did shit to me Bitch-ass niggas 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 nigga rhyme Try to keep your mind on gettin' pussy and crime

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

Talk is cheap, motherfucker!
