[Hook: DMX]
It's somethin'✦ I do, ain't got nothin✦ to do
With the frontin'✦ you do with your fuck ass crew
Fuck what you think, fuck what you say
'Cause I'ma✦ be the dog all day
It's somethin'✦ I do, ain't got nothin✦ to do
With the frontin'✦ you do with your fuck ass crew
Fuck what you think, fuck what you say
'Cause I'ma✦ be the dog all day
[Verse 2: DMX]
Hold up, shit went to the left
Already✦
Lying with every✦ motherfuckin' breath
Already✦
Y'all must think niggas✦ is stupid✦
Already✦
With that bullshit that you did
Already✦
Come on we all saw right through that
Already✦
Try this but don't do that
Already✦
You can't do this but don't do that
Already✦
Man that's why I ain't comin'✦ at ya black
Already✦
This whole rap shit fell apart✦
Already✦
Gotta✦ take it back to the start
Already✦
Kickin'✦ real shit from the heart
Already✦
Ask y'all that verse to be dark
Already✦
COME ON!
[Hook: DMX]
It's somethin'✦ I do, ain't got nothin✦ to do
With the frontin'✦ you do with your fuck ass crew
Fuck what you think, fuck what you say
'Cause I'ma✦ be the dog all day
It's somethin'✦ I do, ain't got nothin✦ to do
With the frontin'✦ you do with your fuck ass crew
Fuck what you think, fuck what you say
'Cause I'ma✦ be the dog all day
[Verse 3: DMX]
Cats wanna✦ rap but can't write
Already✦
Niggas✦ is diesel but can't fight

Niggas✦ more bitch than a bitch
Already✦
Wanna✦ be gangsta and a snitch
Already✦
What part of the game is this!?
Already✦
Y'all know how I get down
Already✦
Ring bells when I hit town (ding, ding, ding)
Straight up I lay shit down

What bitch I lay shit now
Already✦
Dog off the leash again✦
Already✦
Ask around in the streets I'mma✦ win
Already✦

It's somethin'✦ I do, ain't got nothin✦ to do
With the frontin'✦ you do with your fuck ass crew
Fuck what you think, fuck what you say
'Cause I'ma✦ be the dog all day

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

DMX utilizes the 'Already' hook as a rhythmic anchor, turning a simple phrase into a percussive punctuation mark that overrides the need for complex wordplay in favor of visceral, aggressive pacing.

Staccato phrasingRepetitive refrain as a rhythmic anchorAggressive prosodyCall-and-response internal cadence
Rhyme Architecture: A repetitive AAAA structure reinforced by the constant refrain 'Already', which acts as an off-beat counterpoint to the central A-rhymes, creating a hypnotic, relentless flow.
