[DMX] 

Uhh, uhh, uhh, c'mon! 

Woo! Uh-huh 

Yeah, more real life (grrrrrrrrrr) 

That's how it is baby, you know it's real 

More real life, you know it's real (grrrrrrrrrr) 

From the dog, y'know? 

You know it's real, uh-huh 

You know it's real (grrrrrrrrrr) 

Shit is always real baby, forever

My peoples say they got love for the dog right? 

They holla like "Whattup dog?" Alright 

Cause no matter what streets in a dog's life 

And I'm the type of dog gon' go all night 

Some cats think that it's a game that we're playin here 

You keep thinkin it's a joke, I ain't playin here 

Fuck around if you want, I leave billionaire 

Do what, go where? Shit I'm stayin here 

This whole motherfuckin rap shit is all mine (WHAT?!) 

Just thought I'd let you know one mo' time (uhh) 

Shit, I ain't said nuttin when it was yo' time 

Now, niggaz is mad, cause "Ain't No Sunshine" 

And you cats won't like it when the rain hits (UHH!) 

That's the nigga X on the same shit (uh!) 

And if you wanna see how fucked up the game gets? 

Watch what they do when you ain't shit 

[Chorus: Stephanie Mills] 

What you gonna do when I'm nothing? 

You're crazy about my styyyyyyyyyle 

What you gonna do when I'm nothing? 

Tell me nowwwwwwwwwww. ohhhhh-ohhhhhh 

[DMX] 

Uhh, uhh, uhh, uhh 

Every cat I meet like, "Show me love!" 

Every girl I meet like, "I want a hug!" 

Shit I might be just tryin to pick somethin up 

Can I get an autograph -- man, what the fuck?! 

Is the love gon' be the same when 

we start to realize that the game ends (uh-huh) 

Even me, will I have the same friends? (uhh) 

Even when I ain't got the same Benz (UHH) 

What about when the dough get low (woo!) 

Shoulda peeped money from the get-go 

Disappeared, ain't that a bitch yo? 

Now you know, that's that bullshit yo 

Can't forget all them fake "love you" bitches (uh-HUH!) 

Take 'em to the room, wanna fake you bitches (uh-HUH!) 

Walk through the mall wanna touch you bitches (uh-HUH!) 

Listen! I got a wife, I don't trust you bitches (c'mon!) 

[Chorus: Stephanie Mills] 

What you gonna do when I'm nothing? 

You're crazy about my styyyyyyyyyle 

What you gonna do when I'm nothing? 

Please don't have me acting wild 

What you gonna do when I'm nothing? 

Tell me nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww 

Tell me now, tell me now (WHAT?!) 

Tell me (WHAT?!) what you gonna tell me? (WHAT?!) 

Tell me (uh) tell me (uh) 

What you gonna tell me? 

[DMX] 

Holla at the boy if you know the truth 

See what I'm doin, I'm tryin to show the youth 

Trust me I been through it so I got the proof 

Give 'em somethin to eat that ain't gon' break a tooth 

And everybody knows how I get down (c'mon) 

Show the dog love when he hit town (c'mon) 

They don't give a fuck who I'm with now (c'mon) 

V.I.P. don't give a fuck where I sit now (aight?!) 

All this shit changed but it's still the same 

But you gotta do it in order to play the game 

Keep shit brief when you say my name (f'real) 

Give me the love, nigga fuck the fame (f'real) 

When the shit is gone, where you gon' be? (hmmmmm) 

When I look no more, what you gon' see? (hmmmmm) 

Shit, a muh'fucker lookin hungry (aight?!) 

And even then, is you gon' love me? 

[Chorus 2X: Stephanie Mills] 

What you gonna do when I'm nothing? 

You're crazy about my styyyyyyyyyle 

What you gonna do when I'm nothing? 

Tell me nowwwwwwwwwww. ohhhhh-ohhhh
