DMX - Don't Call Me Lyrics
Annotate [Verse 1: Rakim]I idolized my fatherHe taught me to survive the horrorCause times is harder, disguise is darkerLook through the eyes of a snake, see inside the monsterTo rise they divide and conquerIf it's all about money I don't respect your power, that's weakThey deprive and devour, they cowards if you ask mePowers that be mistreat us, mislead usThinking eventually we gone bite the hand that feed usWe son 'em and try to keep all other from 'emNovus ordo seclorum, E pluribus unumNew order of the ages, out of many: one...arrested busting cons out of pennies: noneI'm starving, it's problems if we ain't fed quicklyMy bread used to beat 'em, ones taking heads with meJealousy, hate, lust and greed is spread quicklyDon't call me brother if you ain't breaking bread with me[Hook: Shontelle]Don't call me motherDon't call me sisterDon't call me brotherDon't call me father[Verse 2: DMX]Don't call me brother, you ain't get to say motherBut saying father you get down like the otherDon't speak on wisdom when you know you don't love herDon't shake my hand when you wanna see me underDon't talk slick behind my backDon't walk like this when you act like thatYou trying to bark far when you let you a catCome to your hood like ''brrap, brrap, brrap''Mess with the kid if you want toCause your mans didn't know to tell youIt'll be the last day that you go throughYou built like a scooter, I'm built like a HummerI was built like a tank; you don't want it, baby, nah-uhStop playing with... I'll get you hurtYou a girl, you can't play in the dirt, you got skirtYou don't know a damn thing about putting in the workWith your whole effing block...[Hook]
