[Intro]
That "T" would help though
Here we go again
Yeah, check it out, y`all
Check it out, check it out
Check it out y`all, check it out y`all
Straight Y.O. mother fuckers
Now days cats and middleman, little man, ain`t controlling shit
Talk about holding bricks, but ain`t holding dick
Niggas talk real slick, but that`s about it
Soon as I see `em headed my way, I cut them off quick
Must you beat me in my head everytime I come through?
It`s shit like, everybody tells me I sound just like you
But you not me, got me? And you can live without me
If I wasn`t DMX, you wouldn`t give a fuck about me
Ain`t about "Dog I wanna be just like you"
How about you wanting to be just like you?
You can do what I do, just in your own way
Shit, I get niggas that ride big every fuckin` day (I-ight?)
If you got talent, talent is yours, it can`t be mine
And it take you where it`s gon` take you, it`ll be fine
Let me hit `em with the rewind
Do you and I`ll do me
To me you`ll see how real you`ll be
1 - Do you - Cuz what it boils down to it`s true
Do you - Cuz you are held accountable fo ryou
Do you - Is that really what you want me to see
Do you - Cuz I`mma do me, truley
Do you - Cuz what it boils down to, it`s true
Do you - Cuz you are held accountable for you
Do you - Is that really what you want me to see
Do you - Cuz I`mma do me, truley
Hey yo dog, I got lyrics
Hey yo dog, I got beats (Word)
Damn, is this the type of shit I gots to put up with in the streets?
Used to be able to walk, not have to talk to nobody
Everywhere I go it`s like I bring the whole party
It ain`t about tryin` to follow or tryin` to be like
But if we all see it through the eyes of the Lord, we see a light (c`mon)
Just let me get a hold of the mic, I`ll teach you a little something
Now the good things that go wrong because of a little frontin`
Express yourselves, be who you are, umm umm, you`re a shining star
You don`t even know what you got inside
How the fuck you gon` find out, you keep wanting to ride
Hey yo, I ain`t gon` let it slide no more
You`re best to go for what you know
Can`t do you, then what you flow for
You ain`t gon` get there tryin` to be me, dog
Look through your eyes, see what you see
Repeat 1
Like fuck it, you wanna be me? Here`s what you do
Grow up neglected by both parents and still pull through
You gots to come up fucked up, get treated like shit
Then have your mother`s new boyfriend smack you like a bitch
Turn into a killer, don`t carry shottie
Cuz the way it`s goin` down right now, you gon` kill somebody
Get a dog, walk the streets, learn what you need to learn
Better have a cause but because you`ll get burned
You got 15 years without ever coming out
And beat your fist at the world and what they talkin` about
Then get locked up every two years
For two years keep it real, hold back all tears, face your fears
Become a man before your time, rap but live out your rhymes
Let `em know what`s on your mind, then you`ll get your shine
In time, everything you hear will come true
But you won`t be doin` me, you`ll be doin` you
Repeat 1 until fade
