DMX - 2 Tears In A Bucket - lyrics

[sheek]
Soon as I cop the nine, I pop the nine
When I take it out the box, I represent lox
Now when I flow, you hit the rewind button
So I charge out more, want it all at the door
***** heat, sheek walk around with an oven
Who you gonna kill with that little foreman grill?
How its gon look when I come through your block?
Sheek, funk doc, meth on top
Porsche, 300 horse fly by, back open pumpin how high (how high)
Yeah, can yall see that (see that)
***** you can call me what you want, cuz Ill be dat (be dat)
Get off my dick, I dont care about no jewels
Long as the condos paid and the truck I choose
Im tellin yall niggas, if its not double r
Ima spell my name out on the side of your car
[chorus:]
Come and ruff ryde with us
If you wanna get high with us
If you wanna get down with us
Come on nooooowwwww
Come and ruff ryde with us
If you wanna get high with us
If you wanna get down with us
Come on nooooowwwww
[redman]
I got a twin cam exhaust connected to the jaw
A five speed clutch on my paw when I ride
I glow like the pegs in lite-brite
3000 bolts of lightening when fly the right kite
Me and meth be hennesey, two ice cubes
We can draw (choose your weapons) or do I choose?
When I choose the grip, one shot lose your hip
I hope your shoes fit for this move and pick
My avalanche it came with, ten feet of snow
Im cold blooded, my fam half eskimo
My flows move like endo
Turn ten nickels into ten loads, outta ten stoves
Ride the crash course, do the math on it
Swizz beats you can ride amtrak on it
But Im on it, grillin with george foreman
Ya peeps is at the grammy awards cornin
The ice, the fat wallet son, I won it
In the helicopter, warmin before morning
Def jam nigga, redman nigga, doc
***** ya momma on my sweat band nigga
You tough guys will get smacked in the club
With the gun I bought from mack in the club
Its p-p-p from bricks to brook-nam (come on)
Bring me some more ass to whoop on
[chorus]
[method man]
Look what the cat dragged in
Underground dweller from the cellar bring terror
Scoop of high yellow cinderella, meth forever
Never rush a rhyme, hook could never bust my nine
But if I have to, I have to, its all in the mind
I stay ahead of time while yall fallin behind
Tryin to relight ya lime, its a crime when I drop ? ? ? design
That tick it, tick boom, blow your mind
Yeah me, m-e-t, h, the o, the d
Cant be done like tryin to find a penny in the sea
Nigga run for cover son go and get them guns
Yall aint from here, dont try to come around and gettin ones
Swizz beat the track in the head, but I instead
Pull my ? dart gun? and bust sixteen until its dead
Im the game, all of my dogs be off the chain
Yellin wu-tang, wu-tang
[chorus]

DMX - A'Yo Kato - lyrics

feat. Magic, Val
[DMX]
Huh, This go out to my dog Kato, rest in peace baby
Dogs that I call my friends
Praying for all my friends
Things I do for my friends
We miss you! A'YO KATO!
[Verse One: DMX]
Started off two dogs with the same goal (uh!)
Nothing but two dogs walkin' the same road (uh!)
Two different cultures, but had the same heart (yeah)
Enjoyed seeing the light, but lived in the dark
5th Avenue, bumped heads in the parking lot (aight)
Was a quiet brother, didn't like to bark a lot
Came direct (uh), when he came, gave respect
so I gave respect, (uh) we shared the same respect
To name regret, in our own circles
Two brothers with good hearts, but if you start
Two brothers that'll hurt you (yeah)
Know how that dirt do, Hittin four corners
(arf, arf, arf, ARF) Right back upon us
God tried to warn us, but sometimes we don't see
When I first heard I'm like "THIS CAN'T BE!
Y'all niggaz is bugging
Got the wrong information or something
Please tell me these niggaz is frontin'"
God know..
[Chorus]
Dogs that I call my friends
Praying for all my friends
Things I do for my friends
(we miss you, Kato)
We miss you! A'YO KATO!
Dogs that I call my friends
(we miss you, Kato)
Praying for all my friends
Things I do for my friends
(we miss you, Kato)
We miss you! A'YO KATO!]
[Verse Two: DMX]
A'yo K' let me kick it wid you for a minute
There was things left unsaid, dog, we wasn't finished
Never got to say THANKYOU for being a friend
DOGS FOR LIFE, and you...rode to the end
Held dog down, didn't let a day go by
Everytime dog came to the shy
I was good, trips out to Phoenix, with the scrambler squad
Now I come back to Phoenix and like "damn it's hard"
To accept the fact, that you won't be coming back
But I hope you coming back, 'cos I won't accept the fact
When you came to New York, you had to come to the crib
And vice-versa, (yeah!), thats just how we did
Remote control cars, (WHAT!), we would race all day
It was adventure, we would chase all day! (yeah!)
So I'm not gonna say goodbye my nigga
Instead I would rather
Focus on the time we spent together, that's what matters
[Chorus]
[Verse Three: DMX]
Need you to save me a spot, next to you and the lord (aight)
I don't know when I'm coming, but keep checking the door (aight)
But while I'm here, knock on wood
I'll make sure that your kids remember who their father was
And Val is good, (aight!) understood how real niggaz move
We don't part, but ya gonna always have family in New York
Believe that (yeah!), where you at, you can see that
We dogs for life and to death and I mean that vato!
[Chorus] - 2X
[DMX]
Yo, 'Where The Hood At' is banging right now, man
That was your favourite joint, ya know what I mean?
[Magic & Val] We miss you, Kato
[DMX]
It's going just like we thought it would baby
[Magic & Val] We miss you, Kato
[DMX] Aight
[Magic & Val] We miss you, Kato!
[Val] I'll always love you K'

DMX - 24 Hours To Live - lyrics

[puff daddy]
I want you to ask yourself one question
If you had twenty four hours to live, what would you do?
Thats some deep shit right there, a lot of pressure
How would you handle it?
Mase, what would you do?
[mase]
Yo, Id turn out all the hoes thats heterosexual
Smack conceited niggas right off the pedestal
Id even look for my dad that I never knew
And show him how I look in my beretta, too
Id do good shit like take kids from the ghetto
Show them what they could have if they never settle
Take every white kid from high class level
Show em what christmas like growin up in the ghetto
Teach niggas how to spend, stack the rest
Give blunts to the niggas under massive stress
Give every bum on the street cash to invest
And hope harlem will blow up be my last request
[jadakiss]
Yo, yo if I had twenty four hours to kick the bucket, ***** it
Id probably eat some fried chicken and drink a nantucket
Then go get a jar from branson
And make sure I leave my mother the money to take care of grandson
Load the three power, hop in the eddie bauer
And go give all six to that papi that sold me flour
Get a fresh baldy, make a few calls
Shop at the mall, shoot a lil ball
Have all of my *****es on one telly at the same time
Spread it out on different floors
And Im gon play lotto, for what?
Even though I aint gon be here tomorrow, so what
[black rob]
You know when I was close to the ledge
Id probably be in the wedge
With this bare spanish mami playin tween my legs
Then Im off to get choke and smoke one a them dreads
And get that ***** from 89 that gave us up to the feds
Thought of momma, wrote her a note, we aint close
I hate her boyfriend so I put one in his throat
***** around and sniff an ounce of raw, bust the four
Fours, pull out my dick and take a piss on the floor
Jump in the whip, git them cats I wanted to git
Since the tavern on the green robbery in eighty-six
Went home took a shower in nice cold water
And spent my last hours wit my son and my daughter
[1] - if you had twenty four hours to live just think
Where would you go?
What would you do?
Who would you screw?
And who would you wanna notify?
Or would yo ass deny that yo ass about to die?
If you had twenty four hours to live just think
Where would you go?
What would you do?
Who would you screw?
And who would you wanna notify?
Or would yo ass deny that yo ass about to die?
[sheek]
What hey yo, if I had twenty four nigga gotta get the raw
Run all them papis spot, put one in his head at the door
For the times that I paid for twenty an he gave me twelve
The other eight had to be baking soda by itself
So papi ***** you, you dead now, Im off to the bank
With those bricks in a bookbag and a stolen jag I just grabbed
Went in there grabbed the bank teller wit the pretty face
***** her in the safe, and have her take me to my place
Well make a kid but thats selfish and thatll be bad
For my son to have the same shit his pops just had
And when Im down to twenty three, Im a be strapped wit tnt
Run up in city hall and take the judges wit me
[styles]
If I had twenty four hours to live, Id probably die on the fifth
Run in the station squeezin the inf
Ill be waitin to get to hell and bust down satan
Styles on this shit and I got spot vacant
Back to the twenty four I make it out the precinct
Shootin niggas that I hate in they face while they eatin
Im on the job robbin every so-called don
Give the money to my moms and tell her that Im gone
I would school my little brother that niggas mean him harm
He should learn to tell the future without readin palms
When they come in with the bullets, you prepared with the bomb
So ***** bein violent get stocks and bonds
[dmx]
Twenty four left until my death
So Im gon waste alot of lives, but Ill cherish every breath
I know exactly where Im goin, but imma send you there first
And with the shit that Ill be doin, imma send you there worse
Ive been livin with a curse, and now its all about to end
But before I go, say hello to my little friend
But I gots to make it right, reconcile with my mother
Try to explain to my son, tell my girl I love her
C-4 up under the coat, snatch up my dog
Turn like three buildings on wall street, into a fog
Out with a bang, you will remember my name
I wanted to live forever, but this wasnt fame
[repeat 1 until fade]

DMX - 4321 - lyrics

Playin my position, hot nixon
This one, for all the sick ones, confliction
Posionous darts sickening, best believe
Finger itchin with two broke legs, now Im trippin
On mcs cliche, shot that ricochets
Start trouble bust bubbles, hip to wicked ways
Gotta love me, g-o-d no one above me
Look good but ***** ugly, tap your jaw
From my punch, watch your son and you
Got you shittin in your last huggie, runnin who?
*****in punk, get a speed bump comin through
A single shot make your knees knock, respect wu
[redman]
Aiyyo I put it on a nigga, shit it on a nigga
Turnin christian to a certified sinner
The bomb I release, time pent up (explodes)
While you got set up I was hittin your ex hoe
Shit I kept low, petro your metro
Politic, keep the chickenheads gobblin
Shit Im drivin in, come with funk halogen
Terrorize your city, from the spliff committee
Kick ass till both timberlands turn shitty
Gritty, smack the drivers head in the chin see
When I approach rappers be takin notes
I drop like I shoulda invented the raincoat
Absolut, I love to burn to the roots
I keep comin til your pour sperm from your boots
Vigilante hardcore to the penis
Tell you ***** you my attitude is anemic
[canibus]
Im the illest nigga alive, watch me prove it
I snatch your crown witcha head still attatched to it
Canibus is the type wholl fight for mics
Beatin niggaz to death and beatin dead niggaz to life
When you look at me long enough, I start to read your thoughts
If the signal was strong enough, and then Ill call your bluff
Like, yo, how many rhymes you got? I think Ill go on
For more milleniums than mazdas got on the car lot
And theres nowhere to run ta, when I confront ya
Nigga, I call your bluff like you had a phone number
Who wanna see canibus get wild, who wanna act fly and
Get shot down with a surface-to-air missile
I take em on in all shapes sizes and forms and spit on
Anybody who aint close enough to shit on
Zero to sixty? Im already doin a hundred
When Im blunted and I give it to any nigga that want it
[dmx]
Stay out the dark, cause if I catch you when the sun is down
Run it clown, come up off that, or Im gon gun it down
When in doubt, however skull goes, its gon be that
See that, that shitll finish you dawg, believe that
Where we at, do your value your life, as much as your possesions?
Dont be a stupid nigga, learn a lesson
Im gon get you either way, and its better to live
Let me get whats between your sock, cause its, better to give
Than receive, believe what I say when I tell you
Dont make me put your somewhere where nobodyll smell you
And when the lights is out, they dont come back on
This aint a flick you aint gon come back on, you aint that strong
You knew it was wrong, but you asked for it baby
Youse a pink nigga, ski mask for it baby
So I can hit you up on front teeth, you think Im sweet?
Want heat? one deep, leave him behind, front seat
[redman] aiyyo, one [meth] two [red] three [meth] four
[red] five [meth] six [red] seven
Blaze the hot trizack
[method] shine like heaven
Seven [red] six [meth] five [red] four

[redman] come on mr. smith, come get some!
[ll cool j]
When young sons fantasize of borrowing flows
Tell little shorty with the big mouth the bank is closed (yeah, word up)
The symbol on my arm is off limits to challengers
You hold the rusty swords I swing the excalibur
How dare you step up in my dimension
Your little ass should be somewher cryin on detention
Watch your mouth better yet hold your tongue
Ima do this shit for free this time this ones for fun
Blow you to pieces, leave you covered in feces
With one thesis (ll cool j is hard)
Every little boy wanna pick up the mic
And try to run with the big boys and live up to the real hype
But thats like pickin up a ball, playin with mike
Swingin at ken griffey or challengin roy to a fight
Snappin, you ameteur mcs
Dont you know Im like the dream team tourin overseas
For rappers in my circle Im a deadly disease
Ringmaster, bringin a tiger cub to his knees (uhh)
In the history of rap theyve never seen such prominence
Your naive confidence gets crushed by my dominance (word up)
Now lets get back to this mic on my arm
If it ever left my side itd transform into a time bomb
You dont wanna borrow that, you wanna idolize
And you dont wanna make me mad nigga you wanna socalize
And Im daring every mc in the game
To play yourself out position, and mention my name
I make a rhyme for every syllable in your name
Go platinum for every time your grimy ass was on the train
Watch your mouth dont ever step out of line
Ll cool j nigga, greatest of all time

DMX - A.T.F. (open The Door) - lyrics

Boom, boom, boom, 'open the door, ATF'
To late to send my girl downstairs
To say he left
With the basement
Go through the replacement door
Come up in my neighbor's yard
Wit' the taste of war
You know I laced the 4
Wit' the hollows
Crack the safe grab the bottles
(What you want me to do?)
Feed Carlos
2 houses over by the tall black fenct
I keep the hooptie parked
For situations like this
There go Reese, yo get in, you drive
(What the ***** you doin' nigga?)
Tryin' to stay alive
Cops on every corner
I lay back and try to cruise by
Who the ***** could 'a' snitched
Must 'a' been the new guy
Damn, they're back on our ass
Put yo' foot back on the gas
Step on it fast
Tryin' to pull up on the side
But I'm packin' a blast
Tryin' to take them niggaz heads off
***** crackin' the glass
And then look out, ah, damn, came so close
You almost hit that *****
(Like you said nigga, almost)
Shit, the cops hummin'
But I know they aint gon' leave 'er
Go up here make this left
Pull it over, take a breather
'Drop it on the floor,' boom
Got it through the door
Pedal to the floor
We off and flyin'
Death is in the air
And I don't know if it's mine
But I'll know if it's time
It'll be when it is
And all I can think of is
What about my kids?
Shit, they on the corner
'Hit the sidewalk quick'
1,2,3,4,5, more clips
Hit the fire hydrant
Get low for the shoot out
Run throught he 5
Pull the joint from my boot out
Caught me in the shoulder, the neck, the ear
I'm goin' out fast
And the last thing I hear
Boom, boom, boom, 'open the door, ATF

DMX - Against The Grain - lyrics

Yo, remix joint...
(I gots to make a move and make it soon
I gots to take a block and make it boom)x2
Goin Against the grain... Know what im sayin? Ye-yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, shit's about to jump off and
Lookin' for the bus to bring in my man from up north
Been like three years since when got knocked
Since he got caught
Punked up like five new blocks, holding down for it
Kept a nigga straight with money in the books
And them *****es is crooks who look out for other crooks
Took him shopping, money in his pocket is straight
Dropped him off at the wife's crib after we ate
Our estate was the next move for me
Had to make that nigga chill for at least two to three months
Cause when it's on, it's on (thats my plate!)
He didn't care
It's like slow down baby
The money ain't going nowhere (what?)
Keep in touch though and show how much your ass is with it
The dope flow is there and in a minute you can get it
Watch a nigga just coming home in a game
Cause on the low we may just be trying to go (go down) against the grain
I gots to make a move and make it soon (uh-huh!)
I gots to take a block and make it boom (come on!)
I gots to make a move and make it soon (what?)
I gots to take a block and make it boom (come on!)
I never figured this nigga would pull this shit that he pulled
What is strange is the change that niggas go through
When they're locked down and really can't hack it
A mother*****er like me handles a bid like a jacket
Strap it on my back, niggas ain't built like me
And by the end, niggas was like "Yo, why you killed Mike, D?
Wasn't me, but yeah he had it coming to him
Used to be my man, so I let my cousin do him (we open up shop! It's four in the mornin!)
Sent him out of state with like half a brick down to my spot in VA
Cause the money comes quick
Half of that got *****ed up before I even got the check in on him
But things happen so I really wasn't wreckin' on him
Got him up out of there and sent him down a little further
Ain't heard from him in two months, murder, murder (aahhh!)
And from the next flight thinking I might have to steal something
This hungry shit will make a nigga wanna kill something (fo-fo!)
I gots to make a move and make it soon (uh-huh!)
I gots to take a block and make it boom (come on!)
I gots to make a move and make it soon (what?)
I gots to take a block and make it boom (come on!)
Man, listen, money is missing and shit is hectic
Found the safe, checked it
Shit looks detected
Just what I expected when I got no word from him
Asked around but ain't nobody heard from him (cash long!)
But money talks and most niggas is snakes
So it wasn't long before his man was ready to take
Me to where he was at, checked my gat
Threw in a four clip, pumped myself up
Cause I can't go for that bullshit
*****in' with my last load of cash ain't the issue
It's just real *****ed up when your man tries to diss you
Takin' back for niggas in New York and how they told me so
Now I got to knock his boots, he owes me dough
Layin' up with a ho, then he hit me with the sob story
The famous "Oh you didn't know I got robbed!" story
Told it's to me he should be grateful to
***** that *****! Look at what she made you do
Now there's love lost and a double cross
Pointed at that *****, turned her braids into sauce
So you wanna be with him (uh) and talk to me like I'm silly
Five bottle of Mo on the floor, boxes of phillys
Ten g's in the shoebox under the bed
And for every g I put a *****in' slug in his head
And from then, the moral of the story if you missed it
Is the grand is always gonna be there (why nigga?)
Just never go against it

DMX - Ain't No Sunshine - lyrics

[darkness]
Aint no sunshine

Niggaz know to be gone, everytime cuz we dont play
Aint no sunshine

Everyday, aint no sunshine when its on
Cause when its on
Niggaz know to be gone, everytime cuz we dont play
[dmx]
Who turned out the lights, is what niggaz be sayin
Now you dont wanna fight, thinkin itz alright
When you playin in that road
But your gonna know tonight, when youre layin in that whole
Dirt is gettin tossed in your face, and now its all over
Niggaz said you wuz brave, but now its all over
Jus one of the many, plenty, I dun gave it to
Aint no savin you
No matter how many tears yo moms cry
Aint gon bring yo ass back, trust in hell you gonna fry
Why? right now, the only two relative questions
Is do we bury him or burn him?
Any suggestions?
Either way you out of here for god
Now when niggaz mentionin your name, they are knockin on wood
Did i
Get my
Point across
Another body on the shotty
Another joint I toss
[darkness]
Aint no sunshine
When its gone
Only darkness
Everyday, aint no sunshine when its on
Cause when its on
Niggaz know to be gone, everytime cuz we dont play
Aint no sunshine
When its gone
Only darkness
Everyday, aint no sunshine when its on
Cause when its on
Niggaz know to be gone, everytime cuz we dont play
[dmx]
Aint no sunshine, when the dark man comes out
I want mine, so I plan to keep my gun out
We got four nines, four niggaz run in and run out
Well I bust mines, cuz Id like to hear some shouts
Get at me dog!
Niggaz know, I wuz goin dizzy,
When it comes to dat flow, I getz busy
Who iz he? dark man, of the unknown
Grrrr-arrrr!
One dog, one bone
Know who aint goin home, looks like you
You hit strike one, talkin shit strike two
Wont be a strike three cause I dont play fair
Im goin to look you in your eye while he hit from the rear
Be like yeah, holdin you up cause you fallin
The lord aint comin so nigga stop callin
You was ballin a minute ago
In it for dough, then it was
Yo I swear to God I didnt know
[darkness]
Aint no sunshine
When its gone
Only darkness
Everyday, aint no sunshine when its on
Cause when its on
Niggaz know to be gone, everytime cuz we dont play
Everytime cuz we dont play
Everytime cuz we dont play
[dmx]
And I know,i know,i know,i know,i know
What you think you goin get
***** around with my dough
Just so it aint no mistakes this is my show
One (one), two (two), three here I go
Your shit is quick, and your shit is slick
But this shit is thick, if you here this shit
Damn right I can feel this shit
If you caught the verse wihtout a rewind
You can see my but you be blind
Ill do a 360 and come up behind
Tap you on your shoulder, have you turning around
Hit you with somthin that will have you burn in the ground
Be like damn, nothin left for money but a pile of ash
Life is good, please enjoy it while it lasts
Cause you know you ant got much longer to go
Quicker you go depends on the stronger the flow
And niggas know I dont give a ***** right or wrong
Aint know sunshine when its on.
[darkness]
Aint no sunshine
When its gone
Only darkness
Everyday, aint no sunshine when its on
Cause when its on
Niggaz know to be gone, everytime cuz we dont play

DMX - Ain't No Way - lyrics

Uhh

Nigga, ryde or die (uhh uhh uhh)
Dmx what what (uhh uhh uhh)
[chorus - dmx]
Aint no way youre gonna stop my flow
Aint no way ya niggaz you just dont know
But niggaz is about to go oh no oh no
Aint no way youre gonna stop my shine
Aint no way you niggaz wanna stop mine
Ya niggaz must be out yo mind, I dont know why

If I was testin your jaw, maybe then you would respect me
But you cant respect me cuz you dont even know me
Nigga check me (come on)
Im that mother*****er thatll put you to sleep, while you sleepin
Wrong: then die from a hundred feet, you just knew you was creepin
Right: red dot from a hundred feet, you just knew you was creepin
Bad decisions lead to last decisions
Fast collision, now yo ass is missin (what)
Take it over there now you bring it back to the streets
Have you forgotten what it means when a dog shows his teeth?
Let me break it down for you hes about to attack you
Still standin here faggot? you must want me to smack you
You aint been there or done that, ***** is yall niggaz tellin me
Im the only nigga, walkin the streets with four felonies
But peep this, I see shit is hard, niggaz is strugglin
Leave rap alone for a little while, go back to hustlin
[chorus]
Give it to niggaz just how they give it to, me
Hit em in a rhyme because Im a mc
Been a lot of places most niggaz wont, see
Thats why Im at a level that yall niggaz wont, be
Let your man hold somethin now he want, more
You aint no *****in killer what was the front, for
It was a time when the world was at your front, door
Now they change places niggaz want, raw
Niggaz laugh at me and was mad at me
Cuz the way life was goin had to be a, tragedy
But after me, its over, ima take the whole verse
Im tryin to keep it real thats why I let yall niggaz go first
But you looked a gift horse right in the mouth
Didnt appreciate what you got when you got it
So if I see it, ima dot it, where to hide it
You gotta car better drive it the ***** up outta here
And hope and pray I dont pull up alongside it
Come on
[chorus]
Niggaz dont know so I gotta flip
It seem theyve forgotten how dark it could get
Barks like a pit scratch when I hit
We both know you ***** but you stay talkin shit
What ima have to do dog, run up in yo mess
Catch you while you comfortable put one up in yo chest
One up in yo vest, of course they the hollows
You goin away today, you just lost tomorrow
Ima go platinum (nah) you gots to be kiddin why
Make it double platinum, no bullshittin
And ima stay flippin flows, rippin shows
Strippin hos, gettin dough let me go
And nigaz know, who the best is
The dog, dmx is the rest is or might as well be helpless
I wreck this cuz when I wreck shit
I might snatch a niggaz necklace
Then go from like midnight to breakfast
Come on
[chorus]

DMX - A'Yo Kato (feat. Magic & Val) - lyrics

*cell phone rings*
DMX-yo
FRIEND-yo X we got sum bad news...katos dead man
DMX-what???
FRIEND-yeah katos dead man
DMX-YOU CANT BE SERIOUS MAN
[DMX]
Uh, this go out to my dog Kato
Rest in peace baby, it's a K thing
Dogs that I call my friends
Prayin for all my friends
Things I do for my friends
We miss you! Aiyyo Kato!
We started off, two dogs with the same goals (uh)
Nothin but two dogs walkin the same roads (uh)
Two different cultures, but had the same heart (yeah)
Enjoyed seeing the light, but lived in the dark
Dipped out and bumped heads in the parking lot (aight)
It was a quiet brother, didn't like to bark a lot
Came through wreck (uh), when he came, gained respect
So I gave respect (uh), we shared, the same respect
Two names to rep in our own circles (what)
Two brothers with good hearts
But if you start, two bothers that'll hurt you (yeah)
Know how that dirt do, hittin for quarters
Arf arf arf arf! Right back on orders
Guys tried to warn us, but sometimes we don't wanna see
When I first heard, I'm like, this can't be!
Y'all niggaz is buggin, got the wrong information or somethin
Please tell me that these niggaz is frontin! God, no
Dogs that I call my friends, prayin for all my friends
Things I do for my friends, we miss you! Aiyyo Kato! (We miss you Kato)
Dogs that I call my friends, prayin for all my friends (We miss you Kato)
Things I do for my friends, we miss you! Aiyyo Kato! (We miss you Kato)
Yo K, let me kick it with you for a minute
It was things left unsaid, dog, we wasn't finished
Never got to say thank you for being a friend
Dogs for life, and you, rolled til the end
Held dog down, didn't let a day go by
Every time dog came to the shy (what) - I was good
Trips out to fendis, with the scramblin squad
If I come back to Phoenix, like, damn it's hard
To accept the fact (uh) that you won't be comin back (uh)
But I hope he comin back (uh), cause I won't accept the fact (uh)
When you came to New York, you had to come to the crib
And vice versa (yeah), that's just how we did
Remote-control cars, what! We would race all day
It was adventure we would chase all day (yeah)
So I'm not gonna say goodbye, my nigga (uh-uh)
Instead I would rather (rather)
Focus on the time we spent together, dat's what matters (for real)
Dogs that I call my friends, prayin for all my friends
Things I do for my friends, we miss you! Aiyyo Kato! (We miss you Kato)
Dogs that I call my friends, prayin for all my friends (We miss you Kato)
Things I do for my friends, we miss you! Aiyyo Kato! (We miss you Kato)
I need you save me a spot, nigga, next to you and the Lord (aight)
I don't know when I'm comin, but keep checkin the door (aight)
But while I'm here, knock on wood
I'll make sure your kids remember who their father was, and thou is good
(Aigh) Understood how real niggaz move, we don't talk
But you always gonna have family in New York, believe that (yeah)
And where you at, you can see that
We dogs for life and in death, and I mean that, vato
Dogs that I call my friends, prayin for all my friends
Things I do for my friends, we miss you! Aiyyo Kato! (We miss you Kato)
Dogs that I call my friends, prayin for all my friends (We miss you Kato)
Things I do for my friends, we miss you! Aiyyo Kato! (We miss you Kato)
Yo, Where The Hood At is bangin right now man
That was your favorite joint, knahmean (We miss you Kato)
It's goin just like we thought it would baby

[Val]
