[Verse 2: Aaliyah & DMX]
I know you'd kill for me, you'd die for me
I know you like to rip and run the streets
But I get nervous sometimes, baby,✦ I can't help to think
You might not make it home to eat, I barely✦ sleep(Come on!)
Could you pick up a phone and call me at home?
And let me know you ain't in some heat
And don't go cryin', you're grown
You know I'm lookin'✦ out for you
'Cause you be lookin'✦ out for me
Me, me
[Chorus: Aaliyah & DMX]
Yo, you can go with your dogs
If you make this promise✦ to me
You make it back in one piece (Uh)
So you can go with your dogs
If you make this promise✦ to me
You make it back in one piece
'Fore you go bendin'✦ the law (Come on!)
Could you make this promise✦ to me?
You make it back in one piece
I know (Uh, uh) you up in it all
Could you make this promise✦ to me? (Mmm, mmm, mmmmmm)
You make it back in one piece
Piece, piece
[Verse 3: Aaliyah & DMX]
And, oh boy, I know you got to do what you do (Uh, uh)
You makin'✦ moves,✦ I'm makin'✦ moves,✦ yo, we cool (What?!, What?! What?!)
Lay on your paws, I got your back if you fall (Arf, arf, arf)
Nothing's✦ too big, nothing's✦ too small, just go ball (Come on)
[Verse 4: DMX]
Uh, dog tags around my neck (Uh), the streets are mine
I might leave the heat behind 'cause in the streets I'm fine (What!)
That's why a nigga sleep 'til nine, out by ten (Uh)
Back by ten (Uh), sleep 'til nine, do it again✦
If you love something, let it go (Uh-huh)
If it comes✦ back to you it yours
If it doesn't, fuck it, you'll never know
You got me, I got you (Uh)
Dog with a dog
Ride 'till we die (What!)
It's on then it's on
[Chorus: Aaliyah & DMX]
Yo, you can go with your dogs
If you make this promise✦ to me
You make it back in one piece (Uh)
So you can go with your dogs
If you make this promise✦ to me
You make it back in one piece
'Fore you go bendin'✦ the law (Come on!)
Could you make this promise✦ to me?
You make it back in one piece (Uh, uh)
I know you up in it all
Could you make this promise✦ to me?
You make it back in one piece, piece, piece
Yo, you can go with your dogs
If you make this promise✦ to me
You make it back in one piece
So you can go (Come on) with your dogs
If you make this promise✦ to me
You make it back in one piece (What?! What?! What?!)
'Fore you go bendin'✦ the law

You make it back in one piece, piece, piece
Yo, you can go with your dogs
If you make this promise✦ to me
You make it back in one piece
So you can go with your dogs
If you make this promise✦ to me
