"On The Frontline"

"On The Frontline"
Baby
Baby
Yes
Baby
Yes
Baby
Yes

[Chorus:]
I gotta make it out and move quickly
Can't allow the past to restrict me.
Bet this time around they won't scare me.
I am the last one
"The champ"
Won't hesitate not even for a second
The hustle has become an obsession
I'm on the front lines with my weapon
I am the last one

[Verse 1:]
Damn
I went through it again
After telling everybody I wouldn't do it again
I kind of feel like I've let my people down
Yup
But to get them right
I gots to pick myself up
When I heard this beat and hook
It was so raw
Looked in the mirror
Didn't like what I saw
But all I could say was
Shits gotta change
(For real)
Either get it right or take one to the brain.
If ya'll knew the pain that I went through daily
Trying to stay sane through the wind
Y'all hear me
I'm slipping, falling, I can't get up
But this time I'm out of control
I don't give a fuck
But for the thugs
I'm the last hope for the team
I'm the reason why some niggas
Got a hole in their dreams
These cats know what's good
I am the hood
I ain't hoping that they don't
I wish a nigga would.

[Chorus:]
I gotta make it out and move quickly
Can't allow the past to restrict me.
Bet this time around they won't scare me.
I am the last one
"The champ"
Won't hesitate not even for a second
The hustle has become an obsession
I'm on the front lines with my weapon
I am the last one

[Verse 2:]
I gots to do it for me
Do it for them
I ain't playing with this shit
I'm a' do it to win
Know I can do it again
'Cause I did it before
With little to no effort
And Y'all niggas know the story.
First album dropped in May
Second in December
Both were Platinum in one year like
Y'all don't remember
Only nigga who's first five albums
Debut at number one
Wonder why I call you son
My son, I've just begun
To get started up with the hardest part of it all
It's to climb a slippery wall and
Stil don't fall
Break down and call up to God
When it get too hard
I know you ain't gonna let me go now
Brought me too far
Showed me I was a star,
All my life, I know it
All ain't right, before I call it a night
I'm a thank you for it all
The blessings and the curses
And I hope you're listening
'Cause there's a lesson in the verses
Yeah

[Chorus:]
I gotta make it out and move quickly
Can't allow the past to restrict me.
Bet this time around they won't scare me.
I am the last one
"The champ"
Won't hesitate not even for a second
The hustle has become an obsession
I'm on the front lines with my weapon
I am the last one

Baby
Huh
Baby
Huh
Baby
Huh
Baby
Huh

Yo, C'MON!

Uhh, where my dogs at?! (What!)
Uhh, where my dogs at?! (They not ready!)
C'mon! (This hip-hop)
Where my dogs at?!

[DMX]
You can try but I do fight, just can't seem to do right
Can't run with the big dogs, those jeans are too tight
I been doin this for too long, plus dog is too strong
Let you cats, bite me off the map, with a new song
Man you know you wrong, tryin that shit there
Yeah, a nigga went there, all you did was sit there
I've been rappin about 20 years and you 20 years old
X is back on the block, lookin to go gold
There's a new sheriff in town, just been re-elected
You ain't gotta like it but respect it, nigga check it!
I'ma get it in until the nigga wins with the dividends
cause, we gon' walk the dogs, 'til the bitter end
You like, "Oh it's him again!" I knew that's how you felt
[sniff] Pussy! I knew that's how you smelled
All you cats do is play around, with your speech
Talkin 'bout, what you got, ain't air in the teeth
You can, put on a vest but, I'ma still stop ya
Cause I got a chopper that sound like a helicopter
And niggaz really don't want me to pop the trunk
We gon' either chop or slump when I cock and dump
Whether the Glock or pump, cats ain't ready
Half from here to here, lookin like spaghetti
Pull out the machete, hack off the limbs
Bag up the pieces, wipe off the Timbs
Jump in the Benz, five cars deep
4 o'clock in the morning, riders still asleep
Shut shit down whenever we hit town
GIVE A NIGGA PASS! I lay my dick down
You can, bring out the best or, bring out the worst
You gon' bring out the worst, we gon' bring out the hearse
Niggaz play poker, I play poke-her
Hit her from ear to ear make her smile like The Joker!

And if I went and lost my life
I'd die knowin she was my wife
I'll rest in peace

"DJ Envy Interlude"
(feat. DJ Envy)
[DJ Envy]
Let me tell you about DMX
DMX is probably, one of the artists that saved Def Jam back in the day
when Def Jam was going down
and-and he saved Def Jam with the, with the cruddy raps
But let me tell you how generous DMX was (Okay)
This is when I was producing
DMX flew me down to uh, L.A. (uh-huh) when he was shooting a movie
and uh, we did about four or five tracks
but the reason I knew DMX was so big
is in the middle of the movie he stopped filming
and was like "Envy, let's go, uhh, fly helicopters." (ha ha ha)
And we went to the store, we bought remote control helicopters
and started flying helicopters in the middle of the set!

"Wright Or Wrong"

"Wright Or Wrong"
[Intro: DMX]
Aww man (shit)
That bitch (DID HE?!)
What the fuck is this?
Did he? (DID HE?!)
Are you for real?

[Chorus: DMX]
Ryde or die, right or wrong (WHAT?)
Niggaz wit'cha by your side 'til the storm (WHAT?)
Then they split, don't wanna ride to the storm (WHAT?)
{I love you my nigga} Shoulda known that was bullshit all along! (C'MON!)

[DMX]
I been doin this for a minute
So with or without you I'ma get it, cause I'm in it to win it
I put in work, paid my dues
Stepped in dirt, changed my shoes
Got those dirty - asked God for a new pair
and He musta heard me; thought I was worthy
Taught me to listen cause in New York
the rule is the more you know the less you talk
So if you fake niggaz actin like you down for the kid
When it goes back, don't be around for SHIT!
That's why niggaz like you get found in a ditch
You ain't built for war, actin like a BITCH!

[Chorus]

[DMX]
We all in the sunshine...

We all in the sunshine, we all want the fun time
So niggaz forget that it is gon' rain sometime
Whatever the weather
We supposed to be in this together, B.F.W. forever
I see now that y'all niggaz been takin shit lightly
One minute you love me, next you wanna fight me
Am I gon' lose? Not likely
And even though we both know that you a cat, you still be tryin to bite me
C'mon vato, cat-o
That's a real bitch move you made, you know the rest, uh-oh
Walk like a man you gots to talk like a man
Chin up, with a limp, dick in your hand!

[Chorus]

[DMX]
Ahh man, ahh man! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Whatever the fuck I do I go all out
Wait for a few days, ryde or die, fuck out bitch!
I ain't got time for these cats that wanna pretend
Like they gon' ride 'til the end
Cause soon as you hit a bump niggaz jump ship
But when it's all good same niggaz suck dick
Money is the root of all evil
I ain't a fake nigga, and never had a reason to deceive you
Don't nobody do for me, but me
A nigga gon' be alright, you'll see
When I need a friend, [?] sends me one
When I need some ends, he saved me some
Whatever I need I get it, so I don't want for nothin
And I ain't gotta hunt for nothin
Sittin on ten whips, a few chips
And that mayne with the laser from the hip catch you slip

[Chorus]

[Outro: DMX]
WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAAAAAAAT?
Man, cause I'm fuckin crazy!
And you all fuckin crazy!
Oh my God, what have they done?
What have they done? What have they done?!
What have they done?!
What have they done?! They don't know
What have they done?! They don't know
What have they done?! They don't know
What have they done?! They don't know
What have they done?! They don't know
Grrrrrrr...
Ryde or die, right or wrong!

"Lookin Without Seein"

"Lookin Without Seein"
Grrrrrrrr...

Yoooooooo
Y'all don't know what I've been goin through
Y'all don't know what I'm about to do, to you
Cause you're lookin without seein

Y'all don't know if I am wrong or right
Or what I might do tonight
Cause you're lookin without seein
Yoooooooo (hell naw!)
Y'all don't know if I'ma change this time (I'ma change!)
Y'all don't know about the frame of mind (the frame of mind!)

"What They Don't Know"

"What They Don't Know"
[Chorus: DMX]
What they don't know, they gon' find out [3X]
What they don't know, they gon' find out REAL SOON BABY!

[DMX - over Chorus]
Man, listen!
These cats must be out they fuckin mind baby!
Thinkin the Dog don't got it!
ARF, ARF!
But you 'bout to find out, what it is, C'MON!

[DMX]
They call me, go against the grain, the swagger's reckless
Since 12 smack a nigga, grab his necklace
And the nigga gon' respect this, Dog come through like Deebo
Ain't gotta touch his life but gettin paid off C-lo
That's yo' man faggot, he know, go hard and get down
Whenever Dog hit town, I shut shit down
But I want it NOW, if I see it, I'ma take it
And you better hope I don't want it all cause, I'll leave you naked
I ain't never had to fake it, Dog come through with no gun
I'll show somethin, I'm scared of no one, and I don't run
I tell niggaz, X is back
And it ain't where I'm at, it's what I'm givin niggaz, X is back
C'MON!

[Chorus]

[DMX]
They on that peep Dark whisperin, walk soft shit
I'm a dog, course I recognize a bitch
And I ain't speak cause I was actin funny nah, it's not what I'm about
You just look mad different without a fuckin dick in your mouth
Soon as I seen you I knew you was see-through, cause I seen through
I ain't mean to, he made me hit him, that's what the thing do
If we were big as our hearts you'd be, half my size
I only fuck with the real Scarface and Nas
Niggaz love to think the worst - but put
what you think in this hand a pile of shit in the other, which one'll get filled up first?
I stay remindin niggaz what the gun do
Wherever I'm at niggaz don't come through, if they do they run through (c'mon!)

[Chorus]

[DMX - repeat 2X]
(It ain't my fault) that on the mic, y'all niggaz suck
(It ain't my fault) when shots go off, y'all niggaz duck
(It ain't my fault) real niggaz run in circles around you
(It ain't my fault) did the dirt but now the dirt found you

[Chorus]

[Outro: DMX]
Niggaz is fuckin blind!
Lookin without seein
Walkin without bein
Livin without breathin
C'mon, y'all niggaz is, assed out son!
Real talk, FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THAT BULLSHIT MAN!
Eh-deh-eh-eh [8X]

"Cold World"

"Cold World"
[Adreena Mills:]
Does it really get this cold in the summer?
Does it really get this dark in the day?
Boy they really turn their backs when you talking
When they lay somebody else's head where you lay
Know that I ain't easy to be hard
I find it even harder to be easy
You know sometimes I close my eyes and I wonder
If I ever left how much you'd miss me
Yo somebody told me blood is thicker than water
If a man can say then he can recognize his own daughter
And if hell is below would you pay the price to go
Then I can make it to heaven for sure

[Hook - Adreena Mills:]
This is a cold world, (what)
Cold world
We make it this way, but we don't like it this way
This is a cold world, (what)
Cold world
We make it this way, but we don't like it this way

[DMX:]
Cats don't know what they say what they talking
So I just let a nigga say what he feel
Fuckin' with the kid they gonn end up in the coffin
Cuz I'ma say what I gotta say with the steel
Niggas hating cuz I got a job
I know it's they job to be hating
I'm a dog so I don't fuck with cats (nah!)
If they gon' have me living in the state pen
It's about time I reacted (yeah!)
Look what you all did to this rap shit (what?)
Knowin' niggas is wrong, come on with the cat shit (come on!)
Wack shit, get niggas torn down slap quick
Bam ,bam ,bam go down that quick
Acting like the truth was gone
And I'm sayin' got mill with the ruthless one
It's 2 piece, if your faggot ass 2 persona
I go hard, no dog don't do it, too late it's done
Hold up, I'ma show you why a dog is the illest, killest
You might catch it, but you'll feel this (yeah!)
The realest nigga to ever do it, the realest nigga to ever go through it
And y'all gon' bring me back to it
Y'all gon' make me lose my mind (yeah!)
Middle name is grime, came from crime
You thought I'ma change in time, niggas don't know me
But you been holdin something
You ain't got it? nigga show me

[Hook:]
This is a cold world
Cold world
We make it this way, but we don't like it this way
This is a cold world
Cold world
We make it this way, but we don't like it this way

[Adreena Mills:]
The tunnel looks bright up from behind but you gotta keep moving
Moving,moving because if life stops spinning in the right direction
You lose it, lose it, lose it, lose it
See in the night, I pray to keep me breathing
To see another day to give them something to believe in
'Cause I know it won't always be this way
When you tryin' hard to make a change.
