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]

[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?

[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
