Dmx - The story

I'm always t^Emalking shit cause whe^Bmrever I go I walk in shit And now they got me on some stalking shit Broad d^Emaylight niggaz is cry^Bming "But I don't want anyone to blast" So from the roof I pick em off like a scab ^EmAnd watch the slug bust a ^Bmthug like a watermelon He shoulda thought about that before caught a terror ^EmAnd now another kid grows u^Bmp without a daddy or a mommy Cause at the funeral I hit up the caddy, ^Emit's the army for real niggaz with not^Bmhing to lose Cause when it's time to go you don't get to choose I make the ^Emmuthafuckin rules and I e^Bmnforce it, shorty's people was loose hand so he lost it I took the jo^Emints and tossed them, in the ri^Bmver, at the same spot that I dumped This kid that didn't want to give a nigga the ^Emcombo, to the safe in the c^Bmrib Look, money, that's why I did what I did

Mad s^Emtressed and I'm about to have a bre^Bmakdown It's time for pops who got the store on the corner to have get a shakedown ^EmHe hasn't paid for protection in ^Bmlike two months So I figured I'd leave him wit like two fronts ^EmI break up shit to let him kn^Bmow that I'm real Reminder, I know where you live so don't squeal ^EmTold him, next time I co^Bmme, Have some paper for me Don't fuck around and turn into another caper for me ^EmCause though he's cool all that cool shit s^Bmtops And I be in the crowd talking bout, "Yo who killed pops?" It's a sha^Emme, he was caught up in the ^Bmgame and couldn't play it So I smoked him, I asked him "who's the man" and made him say it ^EmThree times, and that's how many t^Bmimes I hit him A nigga was acting like he didn't have to pay so I did him ^EmYo I think this shit is going ^Bmto my head (for real) But let that be a lesson, don't pay dues and you dead

A little ^Embirdie told me that the feds were ^Bmon to me And they wanted to do something real wrong to me So I b^Emroke out, Blazed the^Bm L for a while Checked my sources and found my name was on file Under ^Emgun for hire and exto^Bmrtion, but yo I never use The same joint twice as a precaution and ^EmI heard this kid tried to s^Bmet me up He knew I knew so he tried to wet me up See ^Emhe was under investigation for d^Bmrugs They set up all types of phone taps and bugs Then when they ba^Emgged him, money went out, repris^Bment (he was my friend) Said they'd let him go, all he had to do was snitch And I k^Emnow now he wish they would have k^Bmept him Cause it was sweet how I crept him, wet him up then left him ^EmAnd that's for mufuckas that don't k^Bmnow Go against the grain and you feel the pain Aight yo?
