DMX - exodus Lyrics






Thats My Dog

Woo, zone (what, what)
DMX (what, what)
Ruff Ryders (what)
Here we go (what)
Yeah (what, what)

That's my dog, yeah, yeah (oh), that's my dog, yeah, yeah (oh)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah (oh), that's my dog, yeah (dog)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah (oh), that's my dog, yeah (yeah)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah, that's my dog, yeah (here we go)

Do it for the have-nots, do it for the lowlifes
Do it for the have-nots, do it for the lowlifes
Do it for the have-nots, do it for the lowlifes
Do it for the have-nots, do it for the lowlifes (yeah)

That's my dog, yeah, yeah (bounce), that's my dog, yeah (bounce)
That's my dog, yeah (bounce), that's my dog, yeah (dance)
That's my dog, yeah (yeah), that's my dog, yeah (woah)
That's my dog, yeah (woo), that's my dog, yeah (woo-woo)

This is dog for life, somethin' you don't know about
No pot to piss in, no window to throw it out
You know what we do to bitch ass niggas, we ho 'em out
You ain't gotta worry 'bout the score, we gon' blow 'em out
Earl, David, Jason, gotta be Sean
That's the keep-on keepin' up, I gotta get on
In the hood right now when the economy strong
These my niggas that I'm talkin' 'bout, follow the song (listen)
Yeah, everybody wanna be down, they playin' spades
To me, all y'all niggas is clowns playin' charades (clowns)
You hit a couple chicks in town playin' with AIDS
It's hot over there, my nigga play in the shade (yeah)
You see we playin' with bullets, y'all playin' with blades
No handguns, we all playin' with K's
If one of these niggas, I come with f*ckin' grenades (boom)
Exactly how many times do I have to say

That's my dog, yeah, yeah (woof), that's my dog, yeah, yeah (oh)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah (oh), that's my dog, yeah (dog)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah (uh-huh), that's my dog, yeah (yeah)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah, that's my dog, yeah (here we go)

Ayo, we ain't cool like that homie, we barely even talk (facts)
Every rapper ain't close 'cause they comin' out New York
I ain't get a call from you when my mom was in the morgue
Or a nigga needed money, so how the f*ck is you my dog?
Got a lil' older, seen shit for what it was
Yeah, I know you longer but I like him for what he does
No talk, .38 revolver just because
Straight liquor, that cranberry f*ckin' up my balls
That's my dog, yeah, we done got it off the ground
Turned it to Ruff Ryders, gave niggas a new sound
You heard I was from Yonkers like it was a new town
Who lookin' at these labels, like "Who the f*ck is these new clowns?"
Silverback nigga, can't wait for me to fall
Same time the bitches can't wait for me to call
These hatin' motherf*ckers I be tryin' to avoid
Let's do it for Breonna, let's do this shit for Floyd

That's my dog, yeah, yeah (oh), that's my dog, yeah, yeah (oh)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah (oh), that's my dog, yeah (dog)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah (oh), that's my dog, yeah (yeah)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah, that's my dog, yeah (here we go)

You can feel the love or all the evil that men do
Either playin' God or a dog that needs a menu
I was born a wolf, my nigga, let me continue
Come from a town where niggas fly out the window
Either they got thrown or the dust did it
Nah, the knife didn't kill him but the rust did it
Lookin' at the new McLaren, need a clutch in it
The gun probably got a homi' but I f*cks with it (I f*cks with it)
All these niggas been my dogs since the low-life days (my dogs)
Got a forty-five, shit'll probably blow like haze
You don't want a homi', you should let me go my way
I'm like doughboy, you gon' wanna roll like trey (yeah)
All my niggas know the ticket on the heroin price
Every bar that I say is sort of like Klondike (ha)
Yeah, that's cold motherf*cker, get a hold motherf*cker (get a hold)
That's my dog, if he asked, I'll take your soul motherf*cker

That's my dog, yeah, yeah (oh), that's my dog, yeah, yeah (oh)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah (oh), that's my dog, yeah (dog)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah (oh), that's my dog, yeah (yeah)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah, that's my dog, yeah (here we go)

It just takes one shot from one gun by one dude
A reason to get it, what's up? F*ck you
You know how a nigga move, that's how a nigga move
F*ckin' snake, you shoulda ate when your plate had food
I'ma say what the f*ck I want, let it do what it do
And wherever the f*ck you at now, we comin' through
I ain't playin' with you niggas, I got kids your age
I ain't your father that shoulda stayed, too late, you shoulda prayed
You ain't know motherf*cker? I'm from the home of the brave
Where we played in the mountains 'cause we lived in the cave
When I came into the game, I crashed with a wave
I'm the best, it's somethin' that I'm takin' to the grave
Motherf*ckers' jeans is too tight to be f*ckin' with dog
So stop f*ckin' with me 'cause I ain't f*ckin' with y'all
I might have dropped the ball, but I got it right back
My man dove for the out of bounds save and shot it right back

That's my dog, yeah, yeah (oh), that's my dog, yeah, yeah (oh)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah (oh), that's my dog, yeah (dog)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah (oh), that's my dog, yeah (yeah)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah, that's my dog, yeah (here we go)

Do it for the have-nots, do it for the lowlifes
Do it for the have-nots, do it for the lowlifes
Do it for the have-nots, do it for the lowlifes
Do it for the have-nots, do it for the lowlifes (yeah)

That's my dog, yeah, yeah (bounce), that's my dog, yeah (bounce)
That's my dog, yeah (bounce, that's my dog, yeah (dance)
That's my dog, yeah (yeah), that's my dog, yeah (woah)
That's my dog, yeah (woo), that's my dog, yeah (yeah, yeah)

Bath Salts

Haute is the livin', Coca Cola's the sponsor (woo)
I run up with your boo, uh, Hov is a monster (oh)
Yeah, uh, they like me like that
Every girl I see wanna be wifey like that
I'm the King of Zamunda, uh, King of the Summer
Come be my Kardashian, Queen of the Come Up, uh
To be loved, Shakespearean
Experience to be us
Jumpin' off boats, hoppin' off another cliff (woo)
Every six months, I think I need a new bucket list (oh)
Yeah, I think I might need a harem (say, say)
I'm way too much, y'all should share 'em (hands in the air, in the air)
I'm feelin' like a baron, all I need is a castle
Be my Halle Berry, all you need is a catsuit
All I need is Heaven, I don't want the hassle
God bless the child that can hold his own, achoo (Queens, stand up)

My instincts guide me through this Kurtis Blow culture (woo)
Good angel, bad angel sittin' on both shoulders (uh)
One be tryin' to gas me, manipulate me, tempt me (ow)
Make me have no soul, so I like to take a tally
All in the favor of the days when the paper wasn't major
But love was abundant
Before the God got the "God's Son" upon the stomach
Let these niggas know it was a feelin' I would get
From music that they would come with (talk to 'em, Nas)
Hate start with H 'cause the H come after a G (right)
They won't say it face to face, they say it after I leave
After the first night at my place, she asked for the keys
It's my season, Garden of Eden, we Adam and Eve
Now we're nekkid in savage hedonism from a lack of belief (woo)
I ain't a pastor, pass the Lafite
We ain't in no relationship but do relationship things
No ring, but she slide through when I ring (hands in the air)
Ha, let's put success to the side
I'd still be this fly if I worked at Popeye's
That's a whole lotta spinach, whole game full of gimmicks
Make a fool out of yourself for a post on Akademiks
We are not the same, I am an alien
Hoverin' over your city, shuttin' down all the stadiums
Wipin' out everything in my radius
Don't play with us, y'all ain't made enough

Shit pop off, we don't blow it up 'til we blow it up
Cats better slow it up, y'all niggas know what's up
My niggas throw it up, we all know that
Got niggas missin' the action, where are they at?
See, you niggas never really been duffed out
But you've got enough mouth to get snuffed out
Duke, the rough route
We don't play around here, nigga, we grown
Start applyin' pressure, give a dog a bone
I'm takin' half, it's just that simple
Or I can start poppin' niggas like pimples
I'ma let you call it, you ballin'
'Til you get hit with them hot things
Now you're staggerin' and fallin'
Holdin' up the wall
You got more than enough holes in you to fall
You're just wastin' a nigga's time, come on, man
I got shit to do, like hit your crew
Might hit your crib, what that bitch gon' do?
Not a damn thin', but go with the program
Beast on that bitch like Conan, bo-nan
I'ma go where no man has ever gone, nigga
When it's on, it's on, I'll let you know in the f*ckin' song
I got nothin' to hide, but you got a reason to run
Come through like, 'til the squeezin' is done
And that's just squeezin' one, imagine if we all let go
Turn your whole block into death row (woo)

Ain't no such thing as enough money, I want it all
A nigga showed me how to go get it, that's somethin' I can't recall (what?)
How you never did nothing for me but tell me one for all?
How the f*ck you run up all them M's without an Adderall?
That's what they ask me, came up from nothin' now I'ma stab it (made)
Reach for these karats and get your issue silly rabbit (played)

Lambo truck with the stars I paid two-hundred some odd
Money, bitches and chains (ice), niggas jackin' the slang
Rolls gold Rollie the only thing 'bout me plain (pop it)
Rolls Royce Cullinan today 'cause it might rain (c'mon!)
That shit came with an umbrella, trap jumpin' like Coachella (woo!)
I'm sleepin' on some clean, half my money still dirty (woah)
They know I got a bitch but these hoes still flirtin' (so?)
I'm in the field pissed, feel like Mike Vick, I'm quarter backin'
We be talkin' slick so charger don't spit, never lackin' (c'mon!)

Money, money, money (money), bitches, bitches, bitches (bitches)
All these f*cking killers, but the jail's full of snitches (snitches)
A dollar ain't got a f*ckin' thing to do with riches
Say cheese, now I got pictures of what a bitch is (woo, c'mon!)
Money, money, money (money), bitches, bitches, bitches (bitches)
All these f*ckin' killers, but the jail's full of snitches (snitches)
A dollar ain't got a f*cking thing to do with riches
Say cheese, now I got pictures of what a bitch is (woo)

When the dog get hungry the dog gon' eat
When I slide my plate right under a nigga feet
Like the lines in the road, I get down in the street
Come through like brrat, put them cats to sleep
Stay with the heat cook niggas, shook niggas
Me and mine come through, we nothing but crook niggas
We off the hook nigga (what?), everybody strip (yeah)
Everybody get down 'cause my niggas flip
On jake niggas, fake niggas, snake niggas
Make niggas, rape niggas I hate niggas
Talking that riff-raff, get back (what?)
They call me extortion, nigga, I get half (woo)

Money, money, money (money), bitches, bitches, bitches (bitches)
All these f*cking killers, but the jail's full of snitches (snitches)
A dollar ain't got a f*ckin' thing to do with riches
Say cheese, now I got pictures of what a bitch is (c'mon!)
Money, money, money (money), bitches, bitches, bitches (bitches)

Skyscrapers

Ah (right), ah
It's time for us to reach for the skies
Talk to 'em

I've seen coal turn to diamonds
And blind man's visions become skyscrapers
What began as a seed is no longer a dream
Let's become skyscrapers, skyscrapers

Whenever I went through something, it brought me closer to God (come on)
And I stayed in somethin', so now I'm closer to God (come on)
But closer to his heart, the attacks get stronger
Become much harder to fight, and they last longer (yeah)
That's what it's always been (uh-huh), joy with the pain (ooh)
Dark with the light (ooh), sun with the rain (what?)
But with the right perspective there's somethin' to gain
Look for the good and the bad, like the sun when it rains

I've seen coal turn to diamonds
And blind man's visions become skyscrapers
What began as a seed is no longer a dream
Let's become skyscrapers, skyscrapers

I don't like better, better get you comfortable
Comfort put you to sleep, even though it's up with you (what?)
Hatin' our relationship, but what I love
Hate it because it kills me, love it for what it does (why?)
Every day I live, every day I die
Don't always laugh but every day I cry (what?)
Used to wonder why, now I enjoy the rain
Be stronger with the struggle, can't live without the pain (what?)
I just wanna be heard, f*ck the fame (yeah)
My words will live forever, f*ck my name (come on)
Father God, please give me the strength I need
I was born in the dirt, just like you planted the seed
Let me grow

I've seen coal turn to diamonds
And blind man's visions become skyscrapers
What began as a seed is no longer a dream
Let's become skyscrapers

Put your hands high and touch the sky
Put your hands high and touch the skyscrapers
Put your hands high and touch the sky
Put your hands high and touch the skyscrapers
Breezes in the summer comin' sky
In jungles through the life of flashin' lights
Feel for the, feel far, far away

Reach for the sky (ooh, yeah)
Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky (ooh, yeah)
Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky
The sky ain't gon' hold you
The sky is not gonna cover you

Yo, yo nigga, you wanna see somethin'?
See what?
You see my two niggas right there on the wall?
Yeah
Watch this, nigga
Oh

And if your ass got heart trouble
Lean your motherf*ckin' ass up against the motherf*ckin' wall

Walking in the Rain

Dear God, watch over me
Watch over mommy
Watch over daddy
Watch over all God's children
Amen

Walking in the rain
Walking in the rain
Walking in the err

Look here, I grew up with the thangs, hard livin' (uh-huh)
Found out the source of the pain God given (ooh)
He left me with no shelter in the rain
But I learned to stay dry, so it wasn't in vain
Every time you go through something, there something to gain
And you only truly suffer if you remain the same (come on)
Let the dirt you go through change you (what?)
Don't forget even Satan was an angel
You can't go through life walking blind
Gotta not only speak your heart but talk your mind (uh)
One thing led to another (yeah)
How I get down, as I will pay for my brother? (What?)
Man, I'm a different nigga
I'ma say it once, "Stop all that rifin' nigga" (woo)
For the sake of all the people that live you
I'm a goon, I'll have your family in the park letting go of balloons (we miss you)

I don't always get my share of roses
For me, sunny days are always come and going
I know we all got our share of trials and tribulations, yeah
But I done rode for some of y'all when you ain't even have a ride yourself
So tell me, why I'm

(Walking, walking, walking)
Walking in the rain
(Walking, walking, walking)
Walking in the rain
(Walking, walking, walking)
Walking in the rain
(Walking, walking, walking)
Walking in the, err (walk)

We in the new dark ages
We reject who we really are, adaptation
Accept no cheap imitations, I am the street meets civilization
Police precinct 114 chased him
Who should be held accountable for the hell I encountered just exploring the town I knew?
You pray a predator choose, I fared better than many
Y'all feared some career gun-slinging youngsters
Coulda went to war, probably wouldn't have overcome it
I coulda been still bitter now
'Cause there's no middle ground
Locked-up juveniles make grown men die
Made me want to get myself knocked in jail just to get you inside
Can't even wait 'til you get out to air you out
As a teen, it's just a few things I cared about
Facts, I made it
Impact behavior, like the eternal flame at Martin Luthers grave, yeah
Gotta keep burning, unabated
Turn a man into a millionaire, just to tell you how good that my day went
My life should be an Ava DuVernay flick
Denzel plays a younger Nas with some CGI
If you rock with your day ones, bless
If you do not, don't let it stress
There's friends I only see once a year
Nothing change, love is there
Some brothers you outgrow, leave them there, yeah (Leave them there, leave them there)

Walking in the rain
(Walking, walking, walking)
Walking in the rain
(Walking, walking, walking)
Walking in the, err
(Walking, walking, walking)

Walking in the rain
Walking in the rain
Walking in the rain

I need some loving (get up, get up)
I need some loving (wake up, wake up)

Uh, look here, bitches come and bitches go (uh-huh)
Got 'em flyin' in from L-A to Y-O (yeah)
Kinda surprised when you was knocking at the door
'Cause I ain't even know you was gone I'm like where the f*ck'd you go?
What was that? Do I miss you? Do you want me to?
I'ma say yes, 'cause it must be what you want me to do
With them bullshit questions, ignorant suggestions
You gon' give a nigga the impression that you wanna see me stressin'
You about to learn a lesson (uh-huh), get on some new shit like
One more f*ckin' headache, I'ma get me a new bitch who care (what?)
Relax, boo-boo, keep shit moving (shh)
'Cause what you see in the mirror is what I don't mind losing (okay)

'Cause when I get that feeling, ooh
I can tell you darling, come take control
Of my body and mind, just grab a hold
I need some loving (get up, get up)
I need some loving (wake up, wake up)
I need some loving (get up, get up)
I need some loving (wake up, wake up)

Lovey-dovey, you love me love me, you're thinking of me
I put my dick on your back see ain't no sleeping on me
Block-block, knock-knock, it don't stop
I lift your shirt up, skirt up and make your ass drop
On all fours, red wine with a blue rose
Shit cool, a Pitbull with a red nose
Man, it's so hectic
I slip out and slip back in to redirect it, connect it
From the hip to the dip
She say she wanna f*ck with a Crip like Nip, so I dip
Yeah, I bark and I bell
And get back in the ocean like a shark or a whale
Don't tell (shh)

'Cause when I get that feeling, ooh
I can tell you darling, come take control
Of my body and mind, just grab a hold
I need some loving (get up, get up) (okay)
I need some loving (wake up, wake up)
I need some loving (get up, get up)
I need some loving (wake up, wake up) (okay)

What you hate about me is what you love me (uh-huh)
Worship the ground I walk on (uh-huh), don't give a f*ck about me (uh)
Playing with my heart, well that's a dangerous game (for real)
Put this dick up in your stomach have you saying my name
Have you like, "Ayy, papi," nothing gon' stop me (yeah)
Gorilla-f*ck that ass (yeah), leave the pussy soppin' (yeah)
Sucker for love, not me I ain't that nigga
Send you back to your baby father, hatin' that nigga
He like, "Why you always mad?" You know why
Because he's not me, you know I would
Never be that nigga that's home watchin' the kids
While my wife was in the street sucking another nigga's dick

'Cause when I get that feeling, ooh
I can tell you darling, come take control
Of my body and mind, just grab a hold
I need some loving (get up, get up)
I need some loving (wake up, wake up)
I need some loving (get up, get up)
I need some loving (wake up, wake up)

Man, that's when you come in (with the dick), wake her up with the dick
You don't say a motherf*ckin' word (I haven't gotta talk that shit, y'mean?)
Just slide in the bed and wake her up with the dick
Like, get up boo-boo
Get up boo-boo, haha, haha
Yeah
X, baby!
You know what it is

Letter To My Son (Call Your Father)

Huh
Huh (woo)
Ooh (rrr)
Is this one of those?
You already know what it is

Dear son, I look in your eyes and see my own (my own)
You look in my eyes and see my thrown
As many times as a tried to talk to you, explain to you (explain to you)
See it didn't mean a thing to you (damn)

Love you, but right now, I wanna bite you (bite you)
Wanna give you a hug but I might bite you (bite you)
Be a man about it, we can admit when we're wrong
Come on, get off that kid shit you on
If you'd paid attention, you'd a saw it comin'
But you a man looking through the eyes of a woman
Always gonna love your mama (always)
We just drifted apart
Y'all my kids, y'all my heart
And you got more brothers and sisters 'cause I got more kids
And hey, it's just what it is
You the oldest, I've known you longer
But I don't love them less, had to get that off my chest
And I don't know what you thought about my use of drugs
But it taught you enough to not use the drugs
When you were a kid, you played with toys, okay
But you a man, put them toys away
What I'm saying is stop thinkin' like a child
'Cause what if it's when I'm (damn)
Gone that you realize you're wrong (damn)
And we could have been best friends all along (ayy)
It would kind of defeat the purpose of this song
917-915-4804
Give me a call, I live you boy (and that's the truth)
(Call me)

Yeah, yeah
Ayy, I let you down
Shoulda been there but I let you down, not too late
Not too late

I can't give you yesterday
But I can learn from my mistakes, not too late
It ain't too late
Call your father
Call your father

Dear Father, shoulda been there when I needed you
Shoulda been there when the Devil had a hold of your soul
(Hold of your soul, hey, hey)

Ayy, I let you down
Shoulda been there but I let you down, not too late
Not too late

I can't give you yesterday
But I can learn from my mistakes, not too late
It ain't too late
Call your father
Call your father
