[Verse 1: DMX]
Money, money, money
Bitches, bitches, bitches
All these fucking killers, but the jail's full of snitches
A dollar ain't got a fucking thing to do with riches
Say cheese, now I got pictures of what a bitch is (woo)
Got a crew of guerillas, stomp niggas like roaches (Uh)
Put niggas lights out, buenas noches
You can go to the left, but don't lose the focus (Look here)
Whatever the fuck you do, don't lose the focus (Alright?)
Ain't nothing changed, niggas throw them R's up (Woo)
Come through on a higher boost, light them cars up (Brrat, brrat)
Vatos Locos, man we are nuts (Running)
You know that's us when we tear shit up, what? (C'mon)
We get's it in, no muthafucking doubt (Yeah)
Ain't got to pop a nigga, I punch him in his mouth (Babow, babow)
Got ya soft like funeral music, cut it out
For real, fuck is all the noise about, bitch?

[Chorus: The Notorious B.I.G. & DMX]
Now I'm in the limelight cause I rhyme tight (Rrr)
Now-Now I'm in the limelight cause I rhyme tight (Rrr)

[Verse 2: DMX]
If it walk like a duck, I'mma treat it like a duck
If it look like pussy, then it's gon' get fucked (Arf! Arf!)
See, we get down for real, blam niggas from the truck (Blam!)
And you can keep talking slick but you don't get stuck
You cats making funny moves and I don't know what you up to
But keep talking slick and you gon' make me say fuck you
I'm a grown ass nigga, walk alone ass nigga
Bring it to you (Uh)
Ain't no beefing on the phone ass nigga (For real)
Nowadays there's so much bitch in niggas
I wouldn't be surprised if there was dick in niggas (Make it stop!)
They don't make 'em like they used to (Uh)
But y'all better get used to (Uh)
A nigga keeping it real (Uh)
Just because he choose to (Alright?)
They know I'm in some pain because I go against the grain
Go against the game and show a nigga that thing
Throw a nigga the flame (What?)
Keep niggas up (Ayy)
Double R for life, we deep nigga, what? (C'mon)

[Chorus: The Notorious B.I.G. & DMX]
Now I'm in the limelight cause I rhyme tight (Rrr)
Now-Now I'm in the limelight cause I rhyme tight (Rrr)

[Bridge: DMX]
All my life
I've been struggling
Problems I've been juggling
But I'ma be alright
All my life
I've been struggling
Problems I've been juggling
But I'ma be alright
All my life
I've been struggling
Problems I've been juggling
But I'ma be alright
All my life
I've been struggling
Problems I've been juggling
But I'ma be alright [x4]

[Outro: DMX]
Man, man, man, suck a dick
What the fuck?
Fuck outta here with that bullshit, hey
Real talk
Real fucking talk man
Fuck outta here with that bullshit nigga
I'd knock 90% of these niggas the fuck out, son

[Chorus: The Notorious B.I.G. & DMX]
