The Story Lyrics - Dmx

[DMX] 

I'm always talking shit, cause wherever I go I walk in shit 

And now they got me on some stalking shit 

Broad daylight, niggaz is crying, "But I don't want anyone to blast" 

So from the roof I pick em off like a scab 

And watch the slug bust a thug like a watermelon 

He shoulda thought about that before caught a terror 

And now another kid grows up without a daddy or a mommy 

Cause at the funeral I hit up the caddy, 

it's the army for real niggaz with nothing to lose 

Cause when it's time to go you don't get to choose 

I make the muthafuckin rules and I enforce it, 

shorty's people was loose hand so he lost it 

I took the joints and tossed them, in the river, 

at the same spot that I dumped 

This kid that didn't wanna give a nigga the combo, to the safe in the crib 

Look, money, that's why I did what I did

{2 niggaz Talking...} 

[DMX] 

Mad stressed and I'm about to have a breakdown 

It's time for pops who got the store on the corner to have get a shakedown 

He hasn't paid for protection in like two months 

So I figured I'd leave him wit like two fronts 

I break up shit to let him know that I'm real 

Reminder, I know where you live so don't squeal 

Told him, next time I come, Have some paper for me 

Don't fuck around and turn into another caper for me 

Cause though he's cool all that cool shit stops 

And I be in the crowd talking bout, "Yo who killed pops?" 

It's a shame, he was caught up in the game and couldn't play it 

So I smoked him, I asked him "who's the man" and made him say it 

Three times, and that's how many times I hit him 

A nigga was acting like he didn't have to pay so I did him 

Yo I think this shit is going to my head (for real) 

But let that be a lesson, don't pay dues and you dead 

{2 niggaz Talking...} 

[DMX] 

A little birdie told me that the feds were on to me 

And they wanted to do something real wrong to me 

So I broke out, Blazed the L for a while 

Checked my sources and found my name was on file 

Under gun for hire and extortion, but yo I never use 

The same joint twice as a precaution and I heard this kid tried to set me up 

He knew I knew so he tried to wet me up 

See he was under investigation for drugs 

They set up all types of phone taps and bugs 

Then when they bagged him, money went out, reprisent (he was my friend) 

Said they'd let him go, all he had to do was snitch 

And I know now he wish they would have kept him 

Cause it was sweet how I crept him, wet him up then left him 

And that's for mufuckas that don't know 

Go against the grain and you feel the pain 

Aight yo?
