Judge not and shall be judged first

Die nigga, die nigga



chorus

Look in my eyes, see what I see

Do what I do, be what I be

Walk with my shoes that hurt your feet

And know why I lurk the streets



DMX:

Burning in hell, but don't deserved to be

Got niggas I don't even know that wanna murder me

It's because they heard of me

And they know that the Dark is for real

The bark is for real, when you see that spark it'll kill

Be poppin, robbin and chill, take it over there bark wit' it

From Ohio to Cali to Baltimore back to New York wit' it

Come through flyin', a 129

Up the school street cuz I come through mine

Barking my dogs, get at me nigga

arf arf arf

Get at me nigga

What the deal is, never forget what real is

Them cats that used to say X is the best know he still is

Can't help but feel this, putting goosebumps on your arms

Take you there if you want but I lose chunks with the bomb

Then come for the star

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and it's getting warm

Feel me yo



chorus 2x



DMX:

I can understand why y'all niggas is scared of me

And why the big dogs never wanted to play fair with me

Cuz I leave blood wherever I go, wherever I flow

Wherever I blow niggas who know I can go

Feel me yo

What is it about the Dark that gets niggas where they about to spark

About to bark, take it to the heart cuz it's real like that

Give him chills, but do I make him feel like that

Shit is real, what you don't know is gon' getcha

With the steal, what you don't know is gon' splitcha

I can blaze tracks

Make niggas play raps and raise stacks

Paybacks a bitch, didn't you used to say that

Play around in dirt, you get mugged

Cuz you know, I can either spread love or shed blood

And bloodshed turns to mudred and real sticky

Or I can hit you from roof, make it a quicky

For real



chorus



DMX:

I bear my soul, niggas wouldn't dare, my role

Gives a nigga a heart of gold but with a hole

Lost all control, my shoulders hold a lot of weight

Just like first time soldier eighth done told us not to hate

But then it's out of state, and it's too late

For change is to be made

That's what I get for fucking with strangers in the shade

This is it, that nigga's got to give me a place

For the same reason that fate, chose to give me away

Take away hate, now I'm supposed to love the one that cursed me

The one that wouldn't give me a cup of water when I was thirsty

It was always his versus me, but now I gotta teach him

Personal feelings put aside, cuz now I gotta reach him

What I'd like to do is turn my head, like I don't know him

But it seems like I've been called on to show him

So I'ma show him

And if you never met me, then you've no right to judge me

I've got a good heart but this heart can get ugly



chorus 2x



Feel the pain, feel the joy, of a man who was never a boy. For real.

arf arf, arf, arf, arf
