Getting Down Lyrics by DMX

Cradle 2 The Grave

2003

[Intro: DMX]
Grrrrrrrr
Gettin' down for what we stand for 'cause it don't stop
Once, the, line's, crossed
Bazaar

[Verse 1: Bazaar Royale]
I am from the ghetto
I don't do the disco
I just pull my pistol, take a chunk of your soul
It's me who ride right by you, police won't recognize you
Run up right behind you, and let my ratchet squeeze
You don't want no drama, pistol-whip your momma
Put that bitch in trauma, you don't wanna pump with me

[Chorus: DMX]
Gettin' down for what we stand for 'cause it don't stop
Once, the, line's, crossed
Gettin' down for what we stand for 'cause it don't stop
Once, the, line's, crossed
Next out the gate is B.S

[Verse 2: Big Stan]
Dog, I don't have to use the fifth to be a threat
I stand six foot three, four thirty, and unless
Motherfuckers' want their shit split, I ain't the one to test
Understand what I'm saying, if not, how I figure
Nine to your tongue while I play with the trigger
Will make you understand what I say a lot quicker
Do we have an understanding?, (Yeah), my nigga
And cats that be frontin', know they really
Don't want it with me
Come coming with them hollows and heaters
To put it simply
So if your team gon' follow it's leader
Then come and get me
But all you cowards better believe that
Your comin' with me

[Chorus: DMX]
Gettin' down for what we stand for 'cause it don't stop
Once, the, line's, crossed
Gettin' down for what we stand for 'cause it don't stop
Once, the, line's, crossed
Next out the gate that bitch Kash

[Verse 3: Kashmir]
Dog, I'm known for gettin' up in these niggas ass
And they don't want to, fuck with the bitch of this shit
Because I position the hits, speak with the nine
Niggas ain't ready for that shit that I spit
Oh no
Get at these niggas
Fo sho
Cause once you cross the line, you already
Know were you go
The, quicker they slip, the quicker their ready
Holes in your Pelle, body laid up in the back of the deli
I thought ya'll 'ready knew 'bout
Me and these triggers
Get touched if you ever fuck with
Me and these niggas
The bitch is loose, got niggas like 'Bitch you loose'
I'm the realest bitch of them all 'cause I get down for what I stand for

[Chorus: DMX]
Gettin' down for what we stand for 'cause it don't stop
Once, the, line's, crossed
Gettin' down for what we stand for cause it don't stop
Once, the, line's, crossed

[Verse 4: DMX]
(Yo!) Fuck, I gots to say it for, you already know
How it's goin' dizzy, I get busy with the flow
Oh, it's like that, aight, hey yo
Niggas comin' through anytime, anywhere
Pop up and pop niggas up right there
Put your man's brains in the motherfuckin' air
Pop, pop, pop, you drop, drop, drop
Stop and, look at what I done to you niggas
I don't wanna be a father, tired of sonnin' you niggas
And I'm sick of being bothered, I'm confrontin' you niggas
And take this and run, in a minute I'm huntin' you niggas
Go on now

[Chorus: DMX]
Gettin' down for what we stand for 'cause it don't stop
Once, the, line's, crossed (P-pop)
Gettin' down for what we stand for 'cause it don't stop
Once, the, line's, crossed (P-pop)
