Yeah
This is for my peoples in the streets
And this thing right here
Uh, uh, uh

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

N- wanna try, n- wanna lie
Then n- wonder why n- wanna die
All I know is pain, all I feel is rain
How can I maintain with that sh- on my brain
I resort to v-, my n- move in silence
Like you don't know what our style is
New York n- the wildest
My n- is with it, you want it, come and get it
Took it, then we split it, you f- right we did it

What the f- you gon' do when we run up on you?
F- with the wrong crew
Don't know what we're goin' through
I'ma have to show n- how easily we blow n-
When you find out there's some more n-
That's runnin' with yo' n-
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 sh- 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 n- 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 n- get down, watch my n- spit rounds
Make you suckers kiss ground, just for talkin' sh-, clown
Oh, you think it's funny? Then you don't know me, money
It's about to get ugly, f- it, dawg, I'm hungry

I guess you know what that mean, come up off that green
Rob n- on ravine, don't make it a m- 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
Ayo, I'ma slave 'til my home is a g-
I'ma pull capers, it's all about the papers
B- caught the vapors, and now they wanna r- 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 sh- it, now you're dearly departed
Get at me, dawg, did I rip sh-? With this one here I flip sh-
N- know when I kick sh- it's gon' be some slick sh-
What was that look for when I walked in the door?
Oh, you thought you was raw? Not anymore
'Cause now you on the floor, wishin' you never saw
Me walk through that door with that-

Now it's time for bed, two more to the h-
Got the floor red, yeah, that n- dead
Another unsolved mystery, it's goin' down in history
N- ain't never did sh- to me
B- can't get to me
Gots to make the move, got a point to prove
Gotta make them groove, got 'em all like, "Ooh!"
So to the next time you hear this n- rhyme
Try to keep your mind on gettin'-

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

Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop
Oh, no, that's how Ruff Ryders roll
