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 mad 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

when you see me spit at you

you know i'm tryin' to get rid of you

watch my niggas spit rounds

make y'all niggas kiss ground

just for talkin' shit

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
