Uhh, yeah
Another one of those - this is for my nigga q - down to earth joints
Rest in peace baby, you抮e not for me dawg
[chorus]
They don抰 knooow, who we beee
They don抰 knooow, who we beee
[dmx over chorus]
That抯 how many that don抰 know, they knew I could do it!
This goes out to my nigga q - rest in peace baby
They still ain抰 ready...
[dmx]
What they don抰 know is!
The bullshit, the drama (uhh), the guns, the armour (what? )
The city, the farmer, the babies, the mama (what? !)
The projects, the drugs (uhh!), the children, the thugs
(uhh!) the tears, the hugs, the love, the slugs (c抦on!)
The funerals, the wakes, the churches, the coffins (uhh!)
The heartbroken mothers, it happens, too often (why? !)
The problems, the things, we use, to solve 抏m (what? !)
Yonkers, the bronx (uhh!), brooklyn, harlem (c抦on!)
The hurt, the pain, the dirt, the rain (uhh!)
The jerk, the fame, the work, the game (uhh!)
The friends, the foes, the benz, the hoes (what? !)
The studios, the shows, comes, and it goes (c抦on!)
The jealousy, the envy, the phony, the friendly (uh-huh!)
The one that gave 抏m the slugs, the one that put 抏m in me
(whoo!) the snakes, the grass, too long, to see (uhh, uhh!)
The lawnmower, sittin, right next, to the tree (c抦on!)
[chorus 2x]
[dmx]
What we seeing is!
The streets, the cops, the system, harrassment (uh-huh)
The options, get shot, go to jail, or getcha ass kicked
(aight) the lawyers, the part, they are, of the puzzle (uh-huh)
The release, the warning, "try not, to get in trouble" (damn!)
The snitches, the odds (uhh), probation, parole (what? !)
The new charge, the bail, the warrant, the hole (damn!)
The cell, the bus, the ride, up north (uh-huh)
The greens, the boots, the yard, these hearts (uhh!)
The fightin, the stabbin, the pullin, the grabbin (what? !)
The riot squad with the captain, nobody knows what happened
(what? !) the two years in a box, revenge, the plots (uhh!)
The twenty-three hours that抯 locked, the one hour that抯 not
(uhh!) the silence, the dark, the mind, so fragile (aight!)
The wish, that the streets, would have took you, when they had you
(damn) the days, the months, the years, dispair
One night on my knees, here it comes, the prayer
[chorus 2x]
[dmx]
This here is all about!
My wife, my kids (uh-huh), the life that I live (uh-huh)
Through the night, I was his (uh-huh), it was right, but I did
(uh-huh) my ups, and downs (uhh), my slips, my falls (uhh)
My trials and tribulations (uhh), my heart, my balls (uhh)
My mother, my father, I love 抏m, I hate 抏m (uhh!)
Wish god, I didn抰 have 抏m, but I抦 glad that he made 抏m
(uhh!) the roaches, the rats, the strays, the cats (what, what? !)
The guns, knives and bats, everytime we scrap
The hustlin, the dealin, the robbin, the stealin (uhh!)
The shit, hit the ceilin, little boy, with no feelin抯
(damn) the frustration, rage, trapped inside a cage
Got beatin抯 抰il the age, I carried a twelve gauge
(aight!) somebody stop me (please!), somebody come and get me
(what? !) little did I know, that the lord was ridin with me
The dark, the light (uhh), my heart (uhh), the fight (uhh)
The wrong (uhh!), the right (uhh!), it抯 gone (uhh!), aight?
[chorus 4x]
[dmx over chorus]
Man listen
These motherfuckers don抰 know, who we are!
They don抰 know
They couldn抰 possibly fuckin know dawg
That抯 from the heart
