Below, you will find the lyrics for Ruff Ryders' Anthem by DMX.
Somethin' new
Stop
Drop
Shut 'em down, open up shop
No
That's how Ruff Ryders roll
Stop
Drop
Shut 'em down, open up shop
No
That's how Ruff Ryders roll
Snitches wanna try
Snitches wanna lie
Then snitches wonder why
Snitches wanna die
All I know is pain
All I feel is rain
How can I maintain
With madness on my brain?
I resort to violence
My killas move in silence
Like you don't know what our style is
New York killas the wildest
My dogs is with it
You want it, come and get it
Took it then we split it
You damn right we did it
What the F you gonna do
When we run up on you?
Messing with the wrong crew
Don't know what we're going through
I'mma have to show
How easily we blow
Let me find out there's some more
That's running with your
Nothing we can't handle
Break it up and dismantle
Light it up like a candle
Just 'cause I can't stand you
Put my on tapes
Like you busting grapes
Think you holdin' weight?
Then you haven't met the apes
Stop
Drop
Shut 'em down, open up shop
No
That's how Ruff Ryders roll
Stop
Drop
Shut 'em down, open up shop
No
That's how Ruff Ryders roll
Yo Is y'all people crazy? what?
I'll bust you and be Swayze
Stop acting like a baby
What are your feelings on the case?
What? Mind your business, lady what?
Nosy people get it too
When you see me spit at you
You know I'm trying to get rid of you
Yeah, I know, it's pitiful
That's how killas get down
Watch my killas spit round
Make you suckas kiss ground
Just for talking clown
You think it's funny? what?
Then you don't know me, money
It's about to get ugly
Whatever, dawg, I'm hungry
I guess you know what that means
Come up off that green
Rob 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 I'm a slave
'Til my home is the grave
I'mma pull capers
It's all about the papers
Chickens caught the vapors
And now they wanna rape us
Stop
Drop
Shut 'em down, open up shop
No
That's how Ruff Ryders roll
Stop
Drop
Shut 'em down, open up shop
No
That's how Ruff Ryders roll
Man, look what you done started
Asked for it, you got it
Had it, should have shot it
Now you're dearly departed
Get at me dawg, did I rip
With this one here I flip
Know when I kick
Gonna be some sick
What was that look for
When I walked in the door?
You thought you was raw? what?
Boom, not anymore
'Cause now you on the floor
Wishing you never saw
Me walk through that door
With that four four
Now it's time for bed
Two more to the head
Got the floor red
Yeah, that maggot's dead
Another unsolved mystery
It's going down in history
Ain't never did to me
Can't get to me
Gots to make the move
Got a point to prove
Gotta make them groove
Got'em all like
So 'til the next time
You hear this dawg rhyme
Try to keep your mind
On getting and crime
Stop
Drop
Shut 'em down, open up shop
Talk is cheap
