Lyrics from “X Is Coming”Lyrics from “X Is Coming”

I’m gunnin’ for your spouse

Tryin’ to send that bitch back to her maker,

And if you’ve got a daughter older than 15,

I’m a rape her,

take her on the living room floor,

right there in front of you,

then ask you seriously, what you wanna do?

-DMX

You know my apparel, double barrel with the hollow points

My young homie in the back seat

When the po-lice get get after, we dippin’ on three wheels

So we started lookin’ for the bitches with big butts

Like her, but she kep cryin’

I got a boyfriend, bitch stop lyin’

Everytime I hear a brother call a girl

Trying to make a sister feel low

You know all of that gots to go
