DMX - Deeper & Deeper (Lyrics)

Niggas is scared to fuck with the Dog cause I'm shady

You remember that kid from runnin up and down from Buildin 80? (UHH!)

Highs are extreme lows are suicidal

Got me reachin for the Bible cause I, think I'm genocidal (aah!)

Fakers think I'm bluffin but I'm not

Say that I be buggin cause I be makin it hot

Knowin all I got is my, nuts and my word (uh!)

Though I'm never seen, the Dark is always heard

I speak for those who speak with glocks (UHH) from frequent blocks (UHH)

Where the objective is to put in twelve, stay alive and leave in knots

From little rocks bein sold

Then motherfucker, if you LIVE to see 40 then you old

And me bein the way I am, if the Devil close to me

And that's the reason why I'm never I'm supposed to be

I chose to be, on some Dark shit (uhh)

Rip apart shit and start shit until whenever I depart bitch (aah!)

The hard shit, will leave yo' ass stretched (uh!) laid the fuck out

I'm on the edge, WHAT! Life is played out

I made out, kinda good with the last couple of runs

Up the, coast with it; couple of keys, couple of guns

The funds wasn't the issue, it was OTHER shit (uhh)

That had me flippin on my brother's shit, stealin from my mother's shit (UHH)

Cry by myself, I couldn't hide form myself

And if I push my wig back, then I die by myself

Deeper and deeper

With every move I make I'm fallin

Deeper and deeper

These souls from underground keep callin


Deeper and deeper

With every move I make I'm fallin

Deeper and deeper

These souls from underground keep callin

Why is it that I do what I do?

Why is it that, only to these streets can I be true?

I ain't never been shit, my peoples been told me so

Hold me yo; niggas don't, know me yo!

Cause they ain't out that mob that's out to get niggas

Rip niggas, split niggas when you hit niggas

Long as there's bodies to be caught, there's shotties to be bought (YEAH)

Hired that transport, fake Gotti's to extort

I cry for help but niggas don't, hear me (AHHHH!)

Niggas don't understand me! That's why niggas fear me

Hit the old neighborhood cause I'm bout to end it

Stressin shit that I went through and what I BEEN did

Niggas I offended, will have to take it as a loss

Cause in a minute, what I'm THINKIN is about to look like sauce (BOOM!)

Gots to pay the cost and this time it's gon' cost you my life

My love to my children and my, wife (peace)

Step to the last – would I, could I, should I?

Really understand with, seein with my good eye

The hood I, came up in showed no mercy

Unforgiven of the many plagues that cursed me (uh!)

The worst we went through would make a, grown man fumble

Learnin to walk, and it HURTS when you stumble

Figure out the jumble and you live, if not you DIE

On my knees, hands up to the sky, WHY?

Deeper and deeper

With every move I make I'm fallin

Deeper and deeper

These souls from underground keep callin


It gets dark baby!


What must I go through to show you shit is real

And I ain't really never gave a fuck how niggas feel

I rob then I steal, not cause I want to cause I have to

And don't make me show you with the Magnum

Don't know by now then you slippin

I'm on some bullshit that's got me jacking, niggas flippin

I got my man and them stay pretty like I'ma stay shitty

Crimey it's all for the money is you wit me

Hit the bitches, went out I could make the crime

And when it's on we transform like Optimus Prime

I'll form the head, roll out let's make it happen

If we ain't gonna get it wit them we'll take the cap down (what?)

Bust it off, gust it off on the softest niggas

Money with the biggest mouth, yo let's rob this nigga

A novice nigga never made a sound

Breath too fucking hard like you gettin bust down

Cause it gets

Deeper and deeper

With every move I make I'm fallin

Deeper and deeper

These souls from underground keep callin
