== Lyrics ==
 Woman:  "Oh god, please don't take my child
         He's not ready to die.
         Oh god, he's gonna take him from us
         I hear him coming, i hear him coming,
         I hear him coming..."
  
 DMX:    "You, right here shorty, told you, I got you
         Like the way I scooped you, when those faggot niggaz shot you?
         I'ma hold you down, and I mean that, for real"
          
         "But everytime you beef with a nigga, I end up havin' to kill"
 
         "Ain't like that, and hey, forget about them 2 kids
         'Bout to do a deal, somethin' nice as you is"
 
         "Oh you think?"
 
         "Nah, I'm just playin', what's up?
         I got some new bitches, I know you tryin' to fuck"
 
         "Not really"
 
         "What? I ain't your man no more?
         Because a nigga, don't need a hand no more?
         You know how we do, if one don't score
         We all take the pussy and go up in the roar"
 
         "It's like now
         Where you goin'
         I ain't trying to take it
         Fuckin' with a nigga like you, I won't make it"
 
         "It'll be what it is"
 
         "Yo, you in for the night?
         I'm 'bout to take it to the crib"
 
         "You get home alright"
  
 Manson: The snake, the rat
         The cat and the dog
         How you gonna live when you're in the fog?
  
         The snake, the rat
         The cat and the dog
         How you gonna live when you're in the fog?
 
 Dmx:    "Yo, I ain't fuckin' with this nigga, no more
         Word to my mother
         Fuck 'em, so ya know 'em for sure
         Word to my brother
         It's like he's gotten worse than before
         Sometimes I wonder
         What type of dirt this nigga got in store for me to get under
         Then I get a call
         Yo"
 
         "X, police just killed your cousin, happened in the projects
         Don't get back, them niggaz will pay, then I got you, told you I got you
         Yo, I got you"
 
         "I'm in a catch 22
         But them niggaz gotta pay
         But I know he's gonna be askin' for a favor one day
         But fuck it
         I ain't got no choice in the matter
         Them faggots killed my people
         And I wanna see them splattered"
 
         "That's what I'm talkin' 'bout, we ain't on no bitch hit
         And use the same gun that you killed them 2 kids with
         Is that hard to live with?"
 
         "Nah"
 
         "See, you still a playa"
 
         "But what you want from me?"
 
         "Uh...I'll tell you later"
 
 Manson: The snake, the rat
         The cat and the dog
         How you gonna live when you're in the fog?
 
         The snake, the rat
         The cat and the dog
         How you gonna live when you're in the fog?
 
 DMX:    "Shit is all over the news
         Bomb goes off in central
         What the fuck have I gotten myself into?
         My mental is like
         Get the fuck outta there
         I'm out"
 
         "Hey, goin' somewhere?"
 
         "Nah"
 
         "What the bag for?"
 
         "Fuck it, what you want?"
 
         "Can a nigga come inside for a minute, and puff a blunt?"
 
         "Here we go again"
 
         "After what I just gave you, with you actin' like that
         when you asked for that favor"
 
         "Yo, I ain't ask you for shit"
 
         "Oh yes you did, when you really needed something, and you was out, you did
         You sold me your soul, when you didn't say no
         Just let a nigga go, and give me what you owe
         Fuck what you think, ain't shit for free
         And a mothafucker you know, can't defeat me"
 
         "Forgive me father, for I have sinned
         And with your help I know, the devil won't win"
 
 Manson: (Kill kill kill...)
         Take you all on our way to hell
         (Kill kill kill...)
         We're gon'.. do do it, do it well
         (Kill kill kill...)
         Take you all on our way to hell
         (Kill kill kill...)
         We don't want to do it, we do it well
 
 DMX:    This is Marilyn Manson, DMX, Ruff Ryders...
