[DMX]
Same old shit dogjust a different day
You know how niggaz dowhen we playhow we play
IT IS NOTA FUCKING GAME!
A man s gotta do what a man s gotta do
If it s fuck me niggayou know it s fuck you
I kick it to shorty to try to help him understand (uhh)
Hit him with workcause yothat s my little man (uh-huh)
He asked a few questions bout the game and I told him (yeh)
So when he made a bad move it was my place to scold him (aight)
Never told him nuttin wrongkept it fair
Didn t listenso I might as well have been talkin to the air (damn)
Everybody makes mistakesa mistake is aight
But if it ain tI ma tell you straighttime to say goodnight
Nobody likes to be playedregardless of the relationship
but shorty s fuckin up big timeI HATE THIS SHIT
I m caught in the middle ofhavin love for a lil nigga
knowin what s expected of me as areal nigga (damn)
My next move is crucialwhat do I do?
How do I keep it real with shorty in my crew?
Didn t want to kill himso instead of puttin the Mac on him
I did the only thing I could doturn my back on him (aight?)

[Chorus: DMX]

Here we go again..

So if it s fuck me niggathen you know it s fuck you

[DMX]
Niggaz that I fuck witwanna get him dead
But I m cool with shorty s peoplesso I let him live
Under normal circumstanceshe would be a marked man
but I hit him with a grandjust didn t shake his hand (ooh)
Go about your business (uh-huh) do what you gonna do (uh)
Be what you gon beI wash my handsI m through (aight?)
I can forgive I just can t forget
You re on your own lil man don t ask me for shit (no)
If you paid attention to what I taught you then you good (uhh)
If I see you againGET ITunderstood?
Go head before I change my mind cause you know you should be dead
"I just wanted to say --" AIGHT?!!!! GO HEAD!
Instinct told me to kill him but the saviour is
I m a good niggaplus I owed his peeps a favor (hmm)
But I also knewthe decision I just made (yeah)
went against the rules of the game that we played (damn)

[Chorus]

[DMX]
I should havefollowed my first instinctcause I knew
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do
Now this nigga s fuckin with the competition (WHAT?)
Ungrateful motherfuckershoulda got him missin (WHAT?)
This nigga got the nerveto take my kindnessfor a weakness
Gotsta get back on some street shit so I can creep this
ratwhen I acttake oneset him upto take two

Wasn t hard for me to get him where I wanted himconfronted him
{*barrel spins*} BZZZZZZZTCLICK! There was a bullet in one of them
Feelin lucky? CLICKlooks like you are

What you did was put on another pair of shoes
and they just happened to be too big

Well shorty I gave you a chance and what did you do?
Threw it back in my fuckin face so FUCK YOU TOO (BLAM) aight?
