Sometimes I will take my brother by the arm
|
Other times I will take my brother by the shoulder
|
Then there are times I will take my brother by the neck
|
Any way I touch you, walk with me..
|
|
Uhh.. Uhh.. Uhh.. GRRRRR
|
This ain't the way it's supposed to be (B.S.!)
|
This ain't the way it's supposed to be (Off That Bloodline thang)
|
This ain't the way it's supposed to be!
|
This ain't the way, shit is supposed to be!!

|
Now I done seen the streets turned into a beast with sharp teeth
|
Put claws in the strong and just devour the weak
|
Make them proud niggaz humble (uh-huh)
|
Then turn around and make them loud niggaz mumble (uh-huh)
|
In the jungle I done seen niggaz voted "Most likely to win"
|
lose it all at the end of a stem; what a lame (uhh)
|
Friends killin friends for paper, what a shame (uhh)
|
And everybody thinkin they players, what a game (damn)
|
I done seen this whole shit change
|
Looked again and realized that ain't shit changed (WHAT?!)
|
Except the fact that I'm a grown man now (uhh) standin on my own two
|
Used to hate guns, now a nigga own two (C'MON!)
|
Twin glocks for cops and use I promise to
|
I ain't goin out like Amadou, you know what I'ma do (AIGHT?)
|
So sit back and try to visualize if you can
|
All the stories of a wise man - walk with me
|
|
[Chorus- DMX]
|
Look at my life.. look at how I live
|
Look at what I go through.. so what I've got to give (THIS IS IT!!)
|
Look at my li-ife.. look at how I live
|
Look at what I go through.. so what I've got to give (THIS IS IT!!)
|
|
[Big Stan]
|
(My nigga!)
|
Now I've done seen life play jokes with death as a punchline
|
In a world with no hope, struggle to get mine
|
I was raised in a time of regret and bad news (uh-huh)
|
So I was taught my values by bad dudes (uhh)
|
Hustlers and killers.. they taught me wrong from right
|
Told me everything that's wrong is right, like
|
Hoppin a train, poppin the thang
|
And havin hot blocks poppin with 'caine, lockin the game (C'MON!!)
|
And the more shit, change, the more it's the same
|
And the more you try to get rid of it, the more it remains
|
You remember when the kid's dream to get to the top
|
was bein doctors, firemen, even the cops?
|
Look at the kids now, lost, no hope
|
To get ahead they plan to rap, play ball, or sell dope (ooooh)
|
And if you thinkin we the problem you wrong
|
A generation died at the same time our fathers was born
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Big Stan]
|
I've seen a broken home influence a good kid to go bad
|
Cause boys with sane minds to go mad (uhh)
|
And young girls to lose they innocence so fast
|
And so often the results are so sad
|
Losin her skirt, don't even know what flirt means
|
So a baby's poppin up with a baby at thirteen (damn)
|
A few years, she tried to settle down with her man
|
Tried to stop fuckin all them other niggaz and can't
|
Though she want to, the curse got her doin this dirt
|
Cause she saw mommy do it whenever daddy went to work (damn)
|
And it hurts, I know the pain call it the truth
|
Bad parents are destroyin the youth, I been there (WHAT?!)
|
I've watched men beat on my mother my whole life
|
So when I hit my baby mother I thought it was alright (NO!!!)
|
Maybe if I woke up and them niggaz was gone
|
I woulda knew that all the hittin was wrong, talk to me
|
|
[Chorus]2x
|
|
[DMX]
|
My niggaz
|
This, is, for my niggaz
|
This, is, for my niggaz
|
This, is, for my niggaz
|
This right here?! Is for my niggaz
|
B.S. baby! Uh-huh, uhh
|
Bloodline, bloodline, bloodline!
|
All my dogs, off the motherfuckin chain!
|
Arf, arf, arf, arf, arf-arf, ya heard?
|
Bitch ass nigga (bitch ass nigga!)
|
Iceberg, hoo, B.K.! Ali X! St. Claire! Jinx!
