Covered the whole crowd rockin' from here to there
All you said was "Throw your hands in the air!"
You's a hype man nigga (What)

You got bitches part of your crew that's harder than you (Uh)
Let me tell you what niggas in jail say across the table
That you are the cutest bitch on your label
Only records you got are the ones you signing on (Uh)
(La la la)
Never been to jail (What)
Never had a block you were slingin' on (Uh)
We all rode with killers just think
But you, come on dog (What), only thing you murdered was ink
You gots to watch the shit you say to niggas
Sittin' over there smilin', but pussy, I don't play with niggas (Bitch)
I'ma about to make you a fuckin' believer (Uhh)
Next time send a man in your place
I don't battle divas, (Come on)
They want war
Ride out!
They want war (Uh, uh huh)
Ride out!
They want war (What)
But you really don't know what you asking for (Come on)
They want war (Uh)
Ride out!
They want war
Ride out!
They want war (What)
But you really don't know what you asking for

About
This beef is similar to the beef that was the most fatal of all, the 2pac and Biggie Smalls beef, in the way these two rappers are former friends, and were both, at one point, at the top of the rap game. But still the two artists seem to be cowering in the shadow that is 2pac and Biggies shadow over the rap game, even after their tragic deaths. The DMX vs Ja Rule beef began just after Irv Gotti signed both artists to Def Jam in the late ’90s. When their deep, growl-based vocals drew numerous comparisons, sparks quickly began to fly. DMX claims that Ja stole his style in which he delivers, a sort of gravely/growl raps, and Ja feels like D’s just hatin' beacause he’s a success and DMX aint yet.
In 2002 DMX released this freestyle on a Kay Slay mixtape the song titled, “They Want War”, is just a straight diss of Ja.
