Grand Finale Songtext
von DMX feat. Method Man, Nas & Ja Rule

I ain′t going back to jail
Next time that the county or the state see me, it's gon′ be in a bag
Uh
This is it, baby
End of the road, ha-ha
When you a dog
You a dog for life
You don't hear me, though
You don't hear me, though
You don′t hear me, though
Come on, come on


Watch them young guns that take none
Nobody′s safe from the Friday the 13th, ghetto Jason
Itchy trigger finger aching
Snatch your ass out that S-Class for faking
.44 blast, it's a bloodbath
Take your first step down a thug path
Ain′t no love here, just slugs here
Kids know the half, you get plugged here
That's just impossible
For the weak to last, now behold the unstoppable

Third eye watching you, watching me
Throwing rocks from the penalty box, cop a plea
Young G, we was born to die, don′t cry for me
Just keep the heat closely and ride for me
'Cause we family, for better or worse
You and I from the dirt
Used to snatch purses
So hard, it hurt to be here
And each year, I′m pouring out more beer
For deceased peers, holding fort

Police line, do not cross
They found his corpse in the loft
With the head cut off and butt naked
Homicide the crime method
Add another killer verse to the murder record
The grand finale


Dogs for life
Who wanna test me?
Uh, dogs for life
Come on
Yeah, we dogs for life
Me shot, me shot pussy-hole people fi fun (yeah, we dogs for life)

Hot corners, cops with warrants, every block is boring
Friday night, getting bent, liquor pouring
My dog not even home a month yet
And blazed a girl in the stomach
He robbing niggas who pumping
Little Blood got popped by the group home cat
Everybody nervous in the hood, pulling they gats
Fiend yelling out, "Who got those?"
Go and see, shorty snot-nosed
He don't floss, but he got dough

Thug faces, fugitives running from court cases
Slugs shooting past for the love of drug paper
Queens cap peelers, soldiers, drug dealers
And God will throw a beam of lightning down 'cause he feel us
May the next one strike me down if I′m not the realest
The mayor wanna call the S.W.A.T. team to come and kill us
But, dogs are friends
If one see the morgue, one will live get revenge
And we ride ′til the end

Bravehearts blow the lye with Henn'
And still rise to collide with live men
My man got three six-to-eighteens, and only five in
The belly of the beast
Didn′t wanna hear the shit I tried to tell him on the streets
It's irrelevant, the beast love to eat black meat
It got us niggas from the hood hanging off its teeth
We slinging to eat, bringing the heat
Bullet holes, razor scars, it′s the pain in the street, huh

When you a dog, you a dog for life (ride or die)
My dogs feel pain, through love (see eye to eye)
Give us one shot at life (let us fly)
Come on, niggas (we dogs for life)
Yo, when you a dog, you a dog for life (ride or die)
My dogs feel pain, through love (see eye to eye)
Give us one shot at life (let us fly)
Come on, niggas (we dogs for life)

There's mad money out here, dog
Mad money out here
What you, trying to get it?
Word up
You gon′ bust your gun to get it?
Psh, whatever, yo
Uh
I hear you, I hear you

I've lost my grip on reality, or so it would seem
Pinch myself to wake up, 'cause I know it′s a dream
Niggas that don′t know me see me and think I'ma rob ′em
Niggas that know me well see me and think I'm a problem
I′m just a nigga that's misunderstood
But word to mans, I′ll turn your last name to Underwood
'Cause if I see it, I'ma take it and run with it, that′s me
What type of bullshit is this nigga on? That′s D

The darker it gets outside, the more blood flows
When I plug holes with the snub nosed
Gun blows, bullets whistle, wouldn't miss you
Hit you all up in your mouth like it tried to kiss you
Drama, it′s right here, how much you need?
Beat you down with gat, see how much you bleed
How much you plead for your life, you was a killer
And all the bitches coming up out that ass, you feel it getting realer

Now, beg for your life, one more time
One more crime, one more nine
Come on, cry, nigga
It's over, this is the shit that ends all
You either the last one standing, or the last one to fall

When you a dog, you a dog for life (ride or die)
My dogs feel pain, through love (see eye to eye)
Give us one shot at life (let us fly)
Come on, niggas (we dogs for life)
Yo, when you a dog, you a dog for life (ride or die)
My dogs feel pain, through love (see eye to eye)
Give us one shot at life (let us fly)
Come on, niggas (we dogs for life)
