[DMX]
They on that peep Dark whisperin, walk soft shit
I'm a dog, course I recognize a bitch
And I ain't speak cause I was actin✦ funny✦ nah, it's not what I'm about✦
You just look mad different without✦ a fuckin✦ dick in your mouth
Soon as I seen you I knew you was see-through,✦ cause I seen through
I ain't mean to, he made me hit him, that's what the thing do
If we were big as our hearts you'd be, half my size
I only✦ fuck with the real Scarface and Nas
Niggas✦ love to think the worst - but put
What you think in this hand a pile of shit in the other, which one'll get filled✦ up first?
I stay remindin niggas✦ what the gun do
Wherever I'm at niggas✦ don't come through, if they do they run through (c'mon!)
[Hook]
[DMX - repeat 2X]
(It ain't my fault) that on the mic, y'all niggas✦ suck
(It ain't my fault) when shots go off, y'all niggas✦ duck
(It ain't my fault) real niggas✦ run in circles around✦ you
(It ain't my fault) did the dirt but now the dirt found you
[Hook]
[Outro: DMX]
Niggas✦ is fuckin✦ blind!
Lookin✦ without✦ seein
Walkin✦ without✦ bein
Livin✦ without✦ breathin
C'mon, y'all niggas✦ is, assed✦ out son!
Real talk, FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THAT BULLSHIT MAN!
Eh-deh-eh-eh [8X]

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"I seen you I knew you was see-through, cause I seen through"

① The observation of a person's lack of character/transparency.② The literal act of visual perception and mental understanding of the person's motivations.

"What you think in this hand a pile of shit in the other, which one'll get filled up first?"

① A rhetorical challenge comparing the worthlessness of hearsay versus physical evidence.② A crude imagery-based metaphor asserting the invalidity of the opponent's opinion.

Exceptional command of vocal presence and intensity

High frequency of internal rhyme density

Effective use of conversational setups that lead into aggressive payoffs

Strong character consistency

Relies on repetitive imagery

Wordplay is often surface-level or aggressive posturing rather than structural metaphor

Lacks subtle subtext beyond the central persona

Minimal variation in thematic scope
