Judge not and shall be judged first
Die nigga, die nigga

(chorus:)
Look in my eyes, see what I see
Do what I do, be what I be
Walk with my shoes that hurt your feet
And know why I lurk the streets

(DMX:)
Burning in hell, but don't deserved to be
Got niggas I don't even know that wanna murder me
Just because they heard of me
And they know that the Dark is for real
The bark is for real, when you see that spark it'll kill
peep pop pop, park it and chill, take it over there walk wit' it
From YO to Cali, Baltimore back to New York wit' it
Come through flyin', up 129
Up the school street cuz I come through mine
Bark at my dogs, get at me nigga
arf arf arf
Get at me nigga
What the deal is, never forget what real is
The cats that used to say X is the best know he still is
Can't help but feel this, putting goosebumps on your arms
Take you there if you want but I lose chunks with the bomb
The calm before the storm
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and it's getting warm
Feel me yo

(chorus 2x )

(DMX:)
I can understand why y'all niggas is scared of me
And why the big dogs never wanted to play fair with me
Cuz I leave blood wherever I go, wherever I flow
Wherever I blow niggas a know I can go
Feel me yo
What is it about the Dark that gets niggas when they about to spark
About to bark, take it to the heart cuz it's real like that
Give him chills, or do I make him feel like that
Shit is real, what you don't know is gon' getcha
With the steel what you don't know is gon' splitcha
I can blaze tracks
Make niggas play rats and raise stacks
Paybacks a bitch, didn't you used to say that
Play around in dirt, you get mud
Cuz you know, I can either spread love or shed blood
And bloodshed turns to mud-red and real sticky
Or I can hit you from roof, make it a quicky
For real

(chorus)

(DMX:)
I bear my soul, niggas wouldn't dare, my role
Gives a nigga a heart of gold but with a hole
Lost all control, my shoulders hold a lot a weight
Just like first im sold an eighth then told its not an eighth
But then it's out of state, and it's too late
For change is to be made
That's what I get for fucking with strangers in the shade
This is it, these nigga's got to give me a plate
For the same reason that fate, chose to give me the weight
Take away hate, now I'm supposed to love the one that cursed me
The one that wouldn't give me a cup of water when I was thirsty
It was always his versus me, but now I gotta teach him
Personal feelings put aside, cuz now I gotta reach him
What I'd like to do is turn my head, like I don't know him
But it seems like I've been called on to show him
So I'ma show him
And if you never met me, then you've no right to judge me
I've got a good heart but this heart can get ugly

(chorus 2x)

Feel the pain, feel the joy, of a man who was never a boy. For real.
arf arf, arf, arf, arf
