“Last year Sickick did a tribute remix to DMX that had incredible viral success. The DMX team reached out to our team and informed us that the late rapper had unfinished tracks and had always wanted to do an EDM album. After seeing Sickick’s tribute, we were approached to do the first official song...
[Intro: Velvet Cash & DMX]
I've been through darkness, been through drama, been through hell and back
I fight my demons with my angels, those who got my back
I hear their whispers, jealousy in their eyes
They wanna block the shine when I'm reaching new highs
Uh
Mmm, what?
Uh, what?
Uh, what?
Uh, come on
[Chorus: DMX]
Know what they say when they talkin', so I just let a nigga say what he feel
Fuckin' with the kid, they gon' end up in the coffin 'cause I'ma say what I gotta with the steel
Niggas hatin' 'cause I got a job, I know it's their job to be hatin'
And we rough ride with the mob and you know the dogs gon' be waitin'
[Verse 1: DMX]
It's about time I reacted
Look at what y'all did to this rap shit
Knowin' niggas is wrong, come on with the cat shit
Whack shit, get niggas torn down, slapped quick
And blam, blam, blam, go down, that quick
Acting like the truth was gone
And I'm saying gotta deal with the ruthless one
This two piece leave your **** ass toothless, son
I go hard, dog, don't do it, too late, it's done
Hold up
[Pre-Drop: DMX]
I'ma show you why dog is the illest
I'ma show you why dog is the illest
[Drop: DMX]
Dog, don't do it, too late, it's done
Dog, don't do it, too late, it's done
I know it's their job to be hatin'
And you know the dogs gon' be waitin'
[Verse 3: Velvet Cash]
In the dark of the night when I roll with the mob
11:25 when I took five shots
Yeah, when I turn up, I don't know how to stop
A couple L's passed, now we know what sparks
Smoke in my hand as we walk to my dock
She like, "Nice boat," I said, "Bitch, it's a yacht"
Yo, pour a little out for my dog up top (D-DMX)
Oh
[Pre-Drop: DMX]
I'ma show you why dog is the illest
I'ma show you why dog is the illest
[Drop: DMX]
Dog, don't do it, too late, it's done
Y'all gon' make me lose my mind
I know it's their job to be hatin'
What?
And you know the dogs gon' be waitin'
[Chorus: DMX]
Know what they say when they talkin', so I just let a nigga say what he feel
Fuckin' with the kid, they gon' end up in the coffin 'cause I'ma say what I gotta with the steel
Niggas hatin' 'cause I got a job, I know it's their job to be hatin'
And we rough ride with the mob and you know the dogs gon' be waitin'
[Outro: DMX]
