Ruff Ryders’ Anthem Lyrics By Dmx

    produced by swizz beatz

    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 goin’ through
    i’ma have to show niggas how easily we blow niggas
    lemme find out there’s some more niggas that’s runnin’ with your 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
    and yo i’m a slave ’til my home is the 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

    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 fourfour
    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 bitchass niggas can’t get to me
    gots to make a move got a point to prove
    gotta make ’em groove got ’em all like ooh
    so ’til 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
