Damien

[Intro]

Uh, Def Jam

Uh, Ruff Ryders

My nigga TP, creep with me

[Verse 1: DMX]

Why is it every move I make turn out to be a bad one?

Where's my guardian angel? Need one, wish I had one

I'm right here, shorty, and I'mma hold you down

And trying to fuck all these bitches, I'mma show you how

But who…? Name's D like you, but my friends call me Damien

And I'mma put hip to something about this game we in

You and me could take it there. And you'll be the hottest nigga ever livin' – that's a given? You'll see

Hmmm, that's what I've been wanting all my life

Thinking 'bout my little man so I call my wife

Well, your Dada is about to make it happen

(What you mean, my nigga?) I'm about to make it rappin'

Today I met this cat, he said his name was Damien

He thinks that we're a lot alike and wants to be my friend

(You mean like Chuckie?)

Haha, yeah, just like Chuckie

Dada looks like we're both lucky, yeah

[Hook]

The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog

How you gonna see them if you living in the fog?

The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog

How you gonna see them if you living in the fog?

The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog

How you gonna see them if you living in the fog?

The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog

How you gonna see them if you living in the fog?

[Verse 2]

Hey yo, D (what up, D?) you's a smooth nigga

I seen you when nobody knew who pulled the trigger

Yeah, you know it's always over dough

You sure, I could've swore it was over a ho

Na, na, that ain't my style– you stay frontin'

But you still my man, and I ain't going say nothin'

Got some weed, go 'head, smoke it! Go 'head, drink it!

Go 'head and fuck shorty! You know I can keep a secret (aight)

I'm about to have you driving, probably a Benz

But we gotta stay friends, blood out, blood in

Sounds good to me, fuck it, what I got to lose?

Hmm, nothing I can think of, any nigga would choose

Got me pushing the whips, taking trips across seas

Pockets stay laced, nigga, I floss G's

For that nigga I would bleed, give him my right hand

Now that I think about it… yo, that's my man

[Hook]

The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog

How you gonna see them if you living in the fog?

The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog

How you gonna see them if you living in the fog?

The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog

How you gonna see them if you living in the fog?

The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog

How you gonna see them if you living in the fog?

[Verse 3]

You like how everything is going? You like what I gave you?

You know if you was going down I'd be the one to save you

But yo, I need a favor, these cats across town hate me

Plus their behavior hasn't been too good lately

What? Anything for you, dog, where them niggas at?

38th from Broadway – aight, let me get the gat

Run up on 'em strapped, bust off caps on four niggas

Laid low for 'bout a month and killed two more niggas

Now I'm ready to chill, but you still want me to kill

Look at what I did for you, dog! Come on, keep it real

Aight, fuck it, I'ma do it; who is it this time?

Hey yo, remember that kid Sean you used to be with in '89?

Naw, that's my man – I thought I was your man

But yo, that's my nigga – hey, who's your biggest fan?

Either do it or give me your right hand, that's what you said

I see now, ain't nothing but trouble ahead

[Hook]

The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog

How you gonna see them if you living in the fog?

The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog

How you gonna see them if you living in the fog?

The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog

How you gonna see them if you living in the fog?

The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog

How you gonna see them if you living in the fog?

[Outro]

In the fog, the fog, living in the fog

How you gonna see 'em if you living in the fog

How you gonna see 'em if you living in the fog

The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog
