[Chorus: DMX]

Y'all gon' make me lose my mind

Up in here, up in here

Y'all gon' make me go all out

Up in here, up in here

Y'all gon' make me act a fool

Up in here, up in here

Y'all gon' make me lose my cool

Up in here, up in here

[Verse 2: DMX]

Off the chain, I leave niggas^✦ soft in the brain

'Cause niggas^✦ still want the fame off the name

First of all, you ain't rapped^✦ long enough^✦

To be fucking with me, and you, you ain't strong enough^✦

So whatever it is you puffin'^✦ on

That got you think that you Superman, I got the Kryptonite

Should I smack him with my dick or the mic?

Y'all niggas^✦ is characters, not even^✦ good actors

What's gon' be the outcome? (Hmm), let's add up all the factors

You wack, you twisted, your girl's a ho

You broke, the kid ain't yours and everybody^✦ know

Your old man say you stupid,^✦ you be like, "So?"

"I love my baby^✦ mother,^✦ I'll never^✦ let her go"

I'm tired^✦ of weak-ass niggas^✦ whining over^✦ puss

That don't belong^✦ to them, fuck is wrong with them?

They fuck it up for real niggas^✦ like my mans and them

Who get it all on the strength of the hands with them, man

[Chorus: DMX]

Y'all gon' make me lose my mind

Up in here, up in here

Y'all gon' make me go all out

Up in here, up in here

Y'all gon' make me act a fool

Up in here, up in here

Y'all gon' make me lose my cool

Up in here, up in here

[Verse 3: DMX]

I bring down rain so heavy^✦ it hurts the head

No more talking,^✦ put him in the dirt instead

You keep walking,^✦ 'less you tryna^✦ end up red

'Cause if I end up fed, y'all end up dead

'Cause you's a soft type nigga^✦

Fake up North type nigga^✦

Get pushed^✦ like a soft white nigga^✦

Dog is a dog, blood's thicker^✦ than water^✦

We done been through the mud and we quicker^✦ to slaughter

The bigger^✦ the order,^✦ the more guns we brung out

Run up in there, everybody^✦ come out, don't nobody^✦ burn out

Sun in to sun out, I'ma^✦ keep the gun out

Nigga^✦ running his mouth, I'ma^✦ blow his lung out

Listen,^✦ your ass is about^✦ to be missin'^✦

You know who gon' find you? (Who?), some old man fishin'^✦

Grandma wishin'^✦ your soul's at rest

But it's hard to digest^✦ with the size of the hole in your chest

[Chorus: DMX]

Y'all gon' make me lose my mind

Up in here, up in here

Y'all gon' make me go all out

Up in here, up in here

Y'all gon' make me act a fool

Up in here, up in here

Y'all gon' make me lose my cool

Up in here, up in here

[Bridge: DMX]

One, two, meet me outside^✦

Meet me outside,^✦ meet me outside^✦

All my Ruff Ryders^✦ gon' meet me outside^✦

Meet me outside,^✦ meet me outside^✦

All my big ballers gon' meet me outside^✦

Meet me outside,^✦ meet me outside^✦

All my fly ladies gon' meet me outside^✦

Meet me outside,^✦ meet me outside^✦

All my street-street people, meet me outside^✦

Meet me outside,^✦ outside,^✦ motherfucker

[Outro: Swizz Beatz]

X has got y'all bouncin'^✦ again^✦
