The Way It's Gonna Be lyrics - DMX

This is the way it's the way it's supposed to be

This is the way that I say that it's gonna be

This is the way that I say it's supposed to be

This is the way that I say that it's gonna be

Let me go, nigga, back up off me

Dog out the cage, cats walk softly

Talk real lightly, scared to bite me

Scared to death to shoot me, scared to fight me

In the street niggas is playing the wrong game

Up in a real nigga face, saying the wrong thang

At the end of the day, what that really mean?

Come on, let this bitch ass nigga flee

He ain't mean no harm, he ain't mean nuttin' by it

It ain't mean no wrong, you's a grown ass man

Let 'em know, dick ain't for ridin'

Dick is for findin' pussy, then hidin'

What is my dick doing in your mouth?

This ain't a pacifier nigga, c'mon, take that out (please!)

Oh shit bitch, this is how dog get down

Hands in the air whenever dog hit town

Put 'em up, come on, put 'em up, come on

Put 'em up, come on, put 'em up, come on

Put 'em up, come on, put 'em up, come on

Put 'em up, come on, put 'em up, come on

Put 'em up, come on, put 'em up, come on

Put 'em up, come on, put 'em up, come on

Put 'em up, come on, put 'em up, come on

Put 'em up, come on, put 'em up, come on

Y'all niggas heard it through the grape vine

What's that? X is back, I'ma take mine

Name of the game is get in where you fit in

Dog, nigga, I fit in at the beginnin'

Cats living, jumpin' out the window

Where'd money go? Yo, right out the window

Whether it's rock and roll, I lock and load

Shut 'em down, open up shop, oh no!

Dick ridin' niggas, stay up in it, where you goin' dog?

Upside your fuckin' head in minute

First you pick the dudes, stick and move

Witness smooth, real simple, stick to the rules

Why you gotta make shit complicated? I hate it

Y'all keep a nigga aggravated

Then rate it, loading up let the hungry eat

911, it's a beast running loose in the streets

Put 'em up, come on, put 'em up, come on

Put 'em up, come on, put 'em up, come on

Put 'em up, come on, put 'em up, come on

Put 'em up, come on, put 'em up, come on

Put 'em up, come on, put 'em up, come on

Put 'em up, come on, put 'em up, come on

Put 'em up, come on, put 'em up, come on

Put 'em up, come on, put 'em up, what?
