Dmx - Against The Grain lyrics

Yo, remix joint... (I gots to make a move and make it soon I gots to take a block and make it boom)x2 Goin Against the grain... Know what im sayin? Ye-yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, sh**'s about to jump off and Lookin' for the bus to bring in my man from up north Been like three years since when got knocked Since he got caught Punked up like five new blocks, holding down for it Kept a n***a straight with money in the books And them b**hes is crooks who look out for other crooks Took him shopping, money in his pocket is straight Dropped him off at the wife's crib after we ate Our estate was the next move for me Had to make that n***a chill for at least two to three months Cause when it's on, it's on (thats my plate!) He didn't care It's like slow down baby The money ain't going nowhere (what?) Keep in touch though and show how much your a** is with it The dope flow is there and in a minute you can get it Watch a n***a just coming home in a game Cause on the low we may just be trying to go (go down) against the grain I gots to make a move and make it soon (uh-huh!) I gots to take a block and make it boom (come on!) I gots to make a move and make it soon (what?) I gots to take a block and make it boom (come on!) I never figured this n***a would pull this sh** that he pulled What is strange is the change that n***as go through When they're locked down and really can't hack it A motherf**er like me handles a bid like a jacket Strap it on my back, n***as ain't built like me And by the end, n***as was like "Yo, why you k**ed Mike, D? Wasn't me, but yeah he had it coming to him Used to be my man, so I let my cousin do him (we open up shop! It's four in the mornin!) Sent him out of state with like half a brick down to my spot in VA Cause the money comes quick Half of that got f**ed up before I even got the check in on him But things happen so I really wasn't wreckin' on him Got him up out of there and sent him down a little further Ain't heard from him in two months, murder, murder (aahhh!) And from the next flight thinking I might have to steal something This hungry sh** will make a n***a wanna k** something (fo-fo!) I gots to make a move and make it soon (uh-huh!) I gots to take a block and make it boom (come on!) I gots to make a move and make it soon (what?) I gots to take a block and make it boom (come on!) Man, listen, money is missing and sh** is hectic Found the safe, checked it sh** looks detected Just what I expected when I got no word from him Asked around but ain't nobody heard from him (cash long!) But money talks and most n***as is snakes So it wasn't long before his man was ready to take Me to where he was at, checked my gat Threw in a four clip, pumped myself up Cause I can't go for that bullsh** f**in' with my last load of cash ain't the issue It's just real f**ed up when your man tries to diss you Takin' back for n***as in New York and how they told me so Now I got to knock his boots, he owes me dough Layin' up with a hoe, then he hit me with the sob story The famous "Oh you didn't know I got robbed!" story Told it's to me he should be grateful to f** that b**h! Look at what she made you do Now there's love lost and a double cross Pointed at that b**h, turned her braids into sauce So you wanna be with him (uh) and talk to me like I'm silly Five bottle of Mo on the floor, boxes of phillys Ten g's in the shoebox under the bed And for every g I put a f**in' slug in his head And from then, the moral of the story if you missed it Is the grand is always gonna be there (why n***a?) Just never go against it
