Kid: yo, yo, let me hit that. Let me hit that yo.

DMX: yo what's up shorty? Here.

Ay yo I kick it to shorty and try and help him understand
Hit em with work cause yo that's ma lil man
He asked a few questions bout tha game and I told him
So when he made a bad move it was ma place 2 scull him
Never told him nuttin wrong
Kept it fair
He didn't listen so I might as been talkin to the air
Everybody makes a few mistakes
A mistake is aight
If it's not then I'm a tell you straight time to say goodnight
Nobody likes to be played regardless of the relationship
But shorty fuckin up big time I hate this shit
I'm caught in the middle of havin luv for a lil nigga
What was expected of me as a real nigga
Ma next move is crucial
What do I do?
How do I keep it real with shorty and ma crew
Didn't wanna kill em so instead of puttin tha mac on him
Did the only thing I could do turn my back on him.
(aight)

(chorus)
Here we go again
Same ol shit dawg just a different day
Here we go again
You know how niggas do when we play how we play
Here we go again
A mans gotta do what a man gotta do
Here we go again
So if it's fuck me nigga you know it's fuck you.

[DMX]
The niggas I fuck with I wanna get em dead
But I'm kool with shorty's peoples so I let me live
Under normal circumstances he would be a marks man
But I just hit em with a gram
Just didn't shake his hand
Go on bout ya business
Be what you wanna be
Do what u wanna do
I washed ma hands I'm threw
I can forgive I just cant forget
You on ya own lil man don't ask me for shit
If u paid attention to what I told you then u good
If I see u next time get it understood
Go on before I change ma mind cause u know you should be dead
I just wanna say "aight" go head
My instincts told me sumthin
But I'm a good nigga plus I owe his peeps a favor
But I also knew that the decision I just made
Went against the rules of the game that we play

(chorus x2)

[DMX]
I should of followed ma first instinct
Cause I knew
Sometimes u gotta do what u gotta do
Now this nigga fuckin with the competition
Ungrateful muthafucka should of got him missing
He had the nerve to take ma kindness for a weakness
Gotta get back on some street shit so I can creep this
When I act
Take 1
Set em up
Take 2
Get'em there
Take 3
Get em done
Wasn't hard to get him where I wanted him
Confronted him
Zzzzz click.there was a bullet in 1 of them
Feeling lucky
Click
Looks like you are
Click click click
Luck ain't goin to far
See what you did was put on another pare of shoes
That just happen to be to big
What you did was stupid
Real fuckin stupid
Well shorty I gave you a chance and what did you do
Threw it back in my fuckin face so fuck you to

Chorus till fade
