DMX – RUFF RYDER’S ANTHEM

Lyrics

Uh
Something new
Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop
Oh, no, that's how Ruff Ryders roll
Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop
Oh, no, that's how Ruff Ryders roll
Niggas wanna try, niggas wanna lie
Then niggas wonder why niggas wanna die
All I know is pain, all I feel is rain
How can I maintain with that shit on my brain?
I resort to violence, my niggas move in silence
Like you don't know what our style is, New York niggas the wildest
My niggas is with it, you want it? Come and get it
Took it then we split it, you fuckin' right we did it
What the fuck you gon' do when we run up on you?
Fuckin' with the wrong crew, don't know what we goin' through
I'ma have to show niggas how easily we blow niggas
Lemme find out there's some more niggas that's runnin' with your niggas
Nothin' we can't handle, break it up and dismantle
Light it up like a candle just 'cause I can't stand you
Put my shit on tapes like you bustin' grapes
Think you holdin' weight then you haven't met the apes
Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop
Oh, no, that's how Ruff Ryders roll
Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop
Oh, no, that's how Ruff Ryders roll
Is y'all niggas crazy? I'll bust you and be Swayze
Stop actin' like a baby, mind your business, lady
Nosy people get it too, when you see me spit at you
You know I'm tryin' to get rid of you, yeah I know, it's pitiful
That's how niggas get down, watch my niggas spit rounds
Make y'all niggas kiss ground just for talkin' shit, clown
Oh, you think it's funny? Then you don't know me, money
It's about to get ugly, fuck it, dawg, I'm hungry
I guess you know what that mean, come up off that green
Rob niggas on Ravine, don't make it a murder scene
Give a dog a bone, leave a dog alone
Let a dog roam and he'll find his way home
Home of the brave, my home is a cage
And, yo, I'm a slave 'til my home is the grave
I'ma pull capers, it's all about the papers
Bitches caught the vapors and now they wanna rape us
Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop
Oh, no, that's how Ruff Ryders roll
Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop
Oh, no, that's how Ruff Ryders roll
Look what you done started, asked for it, you got it
Had it, shoulda shot it, now you're dearly departed
Get at me, dawg, did I rip shit? With this one here I flip shit
Niggas know when I kick shit it's gon' be some slick shit
What was that look for when I walked in the door?
Oh, you thought you was raw? Boom, not anymore
'Cause now you on the floor wishin' you never saw
Me walk through that door with that four-four
Now it's time for bed, two more to the head
Got the floor red, yeah, that nigga's dead
Another unsolved mystery, it's goin' down in history
Niggas ain't never did shit to me, bitch-ass niggas can't get to me
Gots to make a move, got a point to prove
Gotta make 'em groove, got 'em all like, "Ooh"
So 'til the next time you hear this nigga rhyme
Try to keep your mind on gettin' pussy and crime
Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop
Talk is cheap, motherfucker!

Paroles (Traduction)

Uh
Quelque chose de nouveau
Arrête, laisse tomber, ferme-les, ouvre ta boutique
Oh, non, c'est comme ça que les Ruff Ryders roulent
Arrête, laisse tomber, ferme-les, ouvre ta boutique
Oh, non, c'est comme ça que les Ruff Ryders roulent
Les mecs veulent essayer, les mecs veulent mentir
Puis les mecs se demandent pourquoi les mecs veulent mourir
Tout ce que je sais, c'est la douleur, tout ce que je ressens, c'est la pluie
Comment puis-je tenir avec cette merde dans ma tête ?
Je recours à la violence, mes gars agissent en silence
Comme si tu ne savais pas quel est notre style, les mecs de New York sont les plus sauvages
Mes gars sont dedans, tu le veux ? Viens le chercher
On l'a pris puis on l'a partagé, tu paries qu'on l'a fait
Qu'est-ce que tu vas faire quand on te tombe dessus ?
Jouer avec la mauvaise équipe, ne sais pas ce que nous traversons
Je vais devoir montrer aux mecs comment on les abat facilement
Laisse-moi découvrir qu'il y a d'autres mecs qui traînent avec tes mecs
Rien que nous ne puissions gérer, briser et démanteler
Allumer comme une bougie juste parce que je ne peux pas te supporter
Mettre mes trucs sur des bandes comme si tu éclatais des raisins
Penses-tu peser alors que tu n'as pas rencontré les singes
Arrête, laisse tomber, ferme-les, ouvre ta boutique
Oh, non, c'est comme ça que les Ruff Ryders roulent
Arrête, laisse tomber, ferme-les, ouvre ta boutique
Oh, non, c'est comme ça que les Ruff Ryders roulent
Vous êtes fous, les mecs ? Je vais vous défoncer et être Swayze
Arrêtez d'agir comme des bébés, occupez-vous de vos affaires, les mecs
