Who We Be Lyrics by Dmx

Who We Be

[dmx]
Uhh, yeah
Another one of those - this is for my nigga q - down to earth joints
Rest in peace baby, youre not for me dawg

[chorus]
They dont knooow, who we beee
They dont knooow, who we beee

[dmx over chorus]
Thats how many that dont know, they knew I could do it!
This goes out to my nigga q - rest in peace baby
They still aint ready...

[dmx]
What they dont know is!
The bullshit, the drama [uhh], the guns, the armour [what? ]
The city, the farmer, the babies, the mama [what? !]
The projects, the drugs [uhh!], the children, the thugs
[uhh!] the tears, the hugs, the love, the slugs [cmon!]
The funerals, the wakes, the churches, the coffins [uhh!]
The heartbroken mothers, it happens, too often [why? !]
The problems, the things, we use, to solve em [what? !]
Yonkers, the bronx [uhh!], brooklyn, harlem [cmon!]
The hurt, the pain, the dirt, the rain [uhh!]
The jerk, the fame, the work, the game [uhh!]
The friends, the foes, the benz, the hoes [what? !]
The studios, the shows, comes, and it goes [cmon!]
The jealousy, the envy, the phony, the friendly [uh-huh!]
The one that gave em the slugs, the one that put em in me
[whoo!] the snakes, the grass, too long, to see [uhh, uhh!]
The lawnmower, sittin, right next, to the tree [cmon!]

[chorus 2x]

[dmx]
What we seeing is!
The streets, the cops, the system, harrassment [uh-huh]
The options, get shot, go to jail, or getcha ass kicked
[aight] the lawyers, the part, they are, of the puzzle [uh-huh]
The release, the warning, "try not, to get in trouble" [damn!]
The snitches, the odds [uhh], probation, parole [what? !]
The new charge, the bail, the warrant, the hole [damn!]
The cell, the bus, the ride, up north [uh-huh]
The greens, the boots, the yard, these hearts [uhh!]
The fightin, the stabbin, the pullin, the grabbin [what? !]
The riot squad with the captain, nobody knows what happened
[what? !] the two years in a box, revenge, the plots [uhh!]
The twenty-three hours thats locked, the one hour thats not
[uhh!] the silence, the dark, the mind, so fragile [aight!]
The wish, that the streets, would have took you, when they had you
[damn] the days, the months, the years, dispair
One night on my knees, here it comes, the prayer

[chorus 2x]

[dmx]
This here is all about!
My wife, my kids [uh-huh], the life that I live [uh-huh]
Through the night, I was his [uh-huh], it was right, but I did
[uh-huh] my ups, and downs [uhh], my slips, my falls [uhh]
My trials and tribulations [uhh], my heart, my balls [uhh]
My mother, my father, I love em, I hate em [uhh!]
Wish god, I didnt have em, but Im glad that he made em
[uhh!] the roaches, the rats, the strays, the cats [what, what? !]
The guns, knives and bats, everytime we scrap
The hustlin, the dealin, the robbin, the stealin [uhh!]
The shit, hit the ceilin, little boy, with no feelins
[damn] the frustration, rage, trapped inside a cage
Got beatins til the age, I carried a twelve gauge
[aight!] somebody stop me [please!], somebody come and get me
[what? !] little did I know, that the lord was ridin with me
The dark, the light [uhh], my heart [uhh], the fight [uhh]
The wrong [uhh!], the right [uhh!], its gone [uhh!], aight?

[chorus 4x]

[dmx over chorus]
Man listen
These motherfuckers dont know, who we are!
They dont know
They couldnt possibly fuckin know dawg
Thats from the heart
