Letra Who We Be de DMX original

Uh, 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 know
Who we be
They don't know
Who we be

(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)

What they don't know is
The bullsh*t, the drama
(Uh)
The guns, the armour
(What?)
The city, the farmer
The babies, the mama
(What?)
The projects, the drugs
(Uh)
The children, the thugs
(Uh)
The tears, the hugs
The love, the slugs
(C'mon)
The funerals, the wakes
The churches, the coffins
(Uh)
The heartbroken mothers
It happens, too often
(Why?)
The problems, the things
We use, to solve 'em
(What?)
Yonkers, the Bronx
(Uh)
Brooklyn, Harlem
(C'mon)
The hurt, the pain
The dirt, the rain
(Uh)
The jerk, the fame
The work, the game
(Uh)
The friends, the foes
The Benz, the h*es
(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
(Uh, uh)
The lawnmower, sittin'
Right next, to the tree
(C'mon)

Repeat chorus twice

What we seeing is
The streets, the cops
The system, harrassment
(Uh-huh)
The options, get shot
Go to jail or
Getcha as* 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
(Uh)
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
(Uh)
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
(Uh)
The twenty-three hours
That's locked
The one hour that's not
(Uh)
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

Repeat chorus twice

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
(Uh)
My slips, my falls
(Uh)
My trials and tribulations
(Uh)
My heart, my balls
(Uh)
My mother, my father
I love 'em, I hate 'em
(Uh)
Wish God
I didn't have 'em
But I'm glad that
He made 'em
(Uh)
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'
(Uh)
The sh*t, hit the ceilin'
Little boy, with no feelings
(Damn)
The frustration, rage
Trapped inside a cage
Got beatin's till 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
(Uh)
My heart
(Uh)
The fight
(Uh)
The wrong
(Uh)
The right
(Uh)
It's gone
(Uh)
Aight?

Repeat chorus four times

(Man listen
These motherf***ers
Don't know
Who we are
They don't know
They couldn't possibly
F***in' know dawg
That's from the heart)
