When I'm Nothing - DMX
(feat. Stephanie Mills)
[DMX]
Uhh, uhh, uhh, c'mon!
Woo! Uh-huh
Yeah, more real life (grrrrrrrrrr)
That's how it is baby, you know it's real
More real life, you know it's real (grrrrrrrrrr)
From the dog, y'know?
You know it's real, uh-huh
You know it's real (grrrrrrrrrr)
Sh_t is always real baby, forever
My peoples say they got love for the dog right?
They holla like Whattup dog? Alright
Cause no matter what streets in a dog's life
And I'm the type of dog gon' go all night
Some cats think that it's a game that we're playin here
You keep thinkin it's a joke, I ain't playin here
F_ck around if you want, I leave billionaire
Do what, go where? Sh_t I'm stayin here
This whole motherf_ckin rap sh_t is all mine (WHAT?!)
Just thought I'd let you know one mo' time (uhh)
Sh_t, I ain't said nuttin when it was yo' time
Now, n_ggaz is mad, cause Ain't No Sunshine
And you cats won't like it when the rain hits (UHH!)
That's the n_gga X on the same sh_t (uh!)
And if you wanna see how f_cked up the game gets?
Watch what they do when you ain't sh_t
[Chorus: Stephanie Mills]
What you gonna do when I'm nothing?
You're crazy about my styyyyyyyyyle
What you gonna do when I'm nothing?
Tell me nowwwwwwwwwww.. ohhhhh-ohhhhhh
[DMX]
Uhh, uhh, uhh, uhh
Every cat I meet like, Show me love!
Every girl I meet like, I want a hug!
Sh_t I might be just tryin to pick somethin up
Can I get an autograph -- man, what the f_ck?!
Is the love gon' be the same when
we start to realize that the game ends (uh-huh)
Even me, will I have the same friends? (uhh)
Even when I ain't got the same Benz (UHH)
What about when the dough get low (woo!)
Shoulda peeped money from the get-go
Disappeared, ain't that a b_tch yo?
Now you know, that's that bullsh_t yo
Can't forget all them fake love you b_tches (uh-HUH!)
Take 'em to the room, wanna fake you b_tches (uh-HUH!)
Walk through the mall wanna touch you b_tches (uh-HUH!)
Listen! I got a wife, I don't trust you b_tches (c'mon!)
[Chorus: Stephanie Mills]
What you gonna do when I'm nothing?
You're crazy about my styyyyyyyyyle
What you gonna do when I'm nothing?
Please don't have me acting wild
What you gonna do when I'm nothing?
Tell me nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Tell me now, tell me now (WHAT?!)
Tell me (WHAT?!) what you gonna tell me? (WHAT?!)
Tell me (uh) tell me (uh)
What you gonna tell me?
[DMX]
Holla at the boy if you know the truth
See what I'm doin, I'm tryin to show the youth
Trust me I been through it so I got the proof
Give 'em somethin to eat that ain't gon' break a tooth
And everybody knows how I get down (c'mon)
Show the dog love when he hit town (c'mon)
They don't give a f_ck who I'm with now (c'mon)
V.I.P. don't give a f_ck where I sit now (aight?!)
All this sh_t changed but it's still the same
But you gotta do it in order to play the game
Keep sh_t brief when you say my name (f'real)
Give me the love, n_gga f_ck the fame (f'real)
When the sh_t is gone, where you gon' be? (hmmmmm)
When I look no more, what you gon' see? (hmmmmm)
Sh_t, a muh'f_cker lookin hungry (aight?!)
And even then, is you gon' love me?
[Chorus 2X: Stephanie Mills]
What you gonna do when I'm nothing?
You're crazy about my styyyyyyyyyle
What you gonna do when I'm nothing?
Tell me nowwwwwwwwwww.. ohhhhh-ohhhh
