DMX - When I'm Nothing Lyrics






[DMX]
Uhh, uhh, uhh, c'mon!
Woo! Uh-huh
Yeah, more real life (grrrrrrrrrr)
That's how it is baby, you know it's real
More real life, you know it's real (grrrrrrrrrr)
From the dog, y'know?
You know it's real, uh-huh
You know it's real (grrrrrrrrrr)
Shit is always real baby, forever

My peoples say they got love for the dog right?
They holla like "Whattup dog?" Alright
Cause no matter what streets in a dog's life
And I'm the type of dog gon' go all night
Some cats think that it's a game that we're playin here
You keep thinkin it's a joke, I ain't playin here
Fuck around if you want, I leave billionaire
Do what, go where? Shit I'm stayin here
This whole motherfuckin rap shit is all mine (WHAT?!)
Just thought I'd let you know one mo' time (uhh)
Shit, I ain't said nuttin when it was yo' time
Now, niggaz is mad, cause "Ain't No Sunshine"
And you cats won't like it when the rain hits (UHH!)
That's the nigga X on the same shit (uh!)
And if you wanna see how fucked up the game gets?
Watch what they do when you ain't shit

[Chorus: Stephanie Mills]
What you gonna do when I'm nothing?
You're crazy about my styyyyyyyyyle
What you gonna do when I'm nothing?
Tell me nowwwwwwwwwww.. ohhhhh-ohhhhhh

[DMX]
Uhh, uhh, uhh, uhh
Every cat I meet like, "Show me love!"
Every girl I meet like, "I want a hug!"
Shit I might be just tryin to pick somethin up
Can I get an autograph -- man, what the fuck?!
Is the love gon' be the same when
we start to realize that the game ends (uh-huh)
Even me, will I have the same friends? (uhh)
Even when I ain't got the same Benz (UHH)
What about when the dough get low (woo!)
Shoulda peeped money from the get-go
Disappeared, ain't that a bitch yo?
Now you know, that's that bullshit yo
Can't forget all them fake "love you" bitches (uh-HUH!)
Take 'em to the room, wanna fake you bitches (uh-HUH!)
Walk through the mall wanna touch you bitches (uh-HUH!)
Listen! I got a wife, I don't trust you bitches (c'mon!)

[Chorus: Stephanie Mills]
What you gonna do when I'm nothing?
You're crazy about my styyyyyyyyyle
What you gonna do when I'm nothing?
Please don't have me acting wild
What you gonna do when I'm nothing?
Tell me nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Tell me now, tell me now (WHAT?!)
Tell me (WHAT?!) what you gonna tell me? (WHAT?!)
Tell me (uh) tell me (uh)
What you gonna tell me?

[DMX]
Holla at the boy if you know the truth
See what I'm doin, I'm tryin to show the youth
Trust me I been through it so I got the proof
Give 'em somethin to eat that ain't gon' break a tooth
And everybody knows how I get down (c'mon)
Show the dog love when he hit town (c'mon)
They don't give a fuck who I'm with now (c'mon)
V.I.P. don't give a fuck where I sit now (aight?!)
All this shit changed but it's still the same
But you gotta do it in order to play the game
Keep shit brief when you say my name (f'real)
Give me the love, nigga fuck the fame (f'real)
When the shit is gone, where you gon' be? (hmmmmm)
When I look no more, what you gon' see? (hmmmmm)
Shit, a muh'fucker lookin hungry (aight?!)
And even then, is you gon' love me?

[Chorus 2X: Stephanie Mills]
What you gonna do when I'm nothing?
You're crazy about my styyyyyyyyyle
What you gonna do when I'm nothing?
Tell me nowwwwwwwwwww.. ohhhhh-ohhhh

  29. P.... ....

    DMX is a friggin moron how he messed his life up. I feel sorry for the dude, because he is probably one of the most underrated rappers. He had several damn good albums and had his own style.

    This song is a classic IMO, a shame it never got any airplay and recognition.

    I still hope he turns it around and makes a comeback.

    P.... ....

    Nah don't say that he messed up his life, well maybe partially he did but how about the industry? Look up 'Dmx meeting the divil' or sth similar and then you will know it's not as it seems. Also he was released form jail today 26.01.19 💯

  30. R.... R....

    Love this

  31. P.... 7....

    love this song

  32. D.... A....

  58. K.... R....

    when you listen to this song you can help but wonder how DMX got from collabos like this many other to getting paid for being featured in shitty dumb songs with bulgarian rapper. I like what he said about drake lol, it was funny as hell, but is he gonna make a song with some housewife now like snoop if he get paid?? Its cool to get the money, but you cheapen yourself as an artist big way. For both artists this shit gets you 100 levels lower, thats why its not all about money! Keep it in mind

  59. r.... k....

    i agree i can't take Drake and nem much longer if them 2 keep making songs i'll just have to change from rap to screamo and heavy metal and i hate screamo and heavy

  60. w.... ....

    The truth

  61. D.... ....

    @divadelicious73 Hell yea man type in Breakfast club DMX. New interview! He looks great and he's shittin all over rappers lol

  62. C.... W....

    feel like dancing

  63. a.... ....

    this song makes me feel good... shoutout to X for spittin' real shit

  64. c.... ....

    DMX the Realest Ever!!!

  65. c.... ....

    @TeeKayyMusic you suck

  66. i.... D....

    Nice Song

  67. E.... ....

  75. s.... ....

    woaah, Dame Grease produced this? Nice, doesn't sound like his dipset stuff, but it's dope.

  76. 1.... ....

    Around the first times I got high this was the song I was listening to and the melody of this song blew my head off to out of space, it was beautiful, sweet memories lol.

  77. S.... H....

    mo' real life it's how it is baby, mo real life, shit is always real

  78. m.... ....

    Man I miss X! Where did Hip Hop go wrong? I mean, all I ever hear about is "The Club". Where is this fabled "Club" everyone talks about? Hip hop used to be WAY more. It was hardcore, realistic and most of all, it had passion! That's what made DMX, Tupac, B.I.G., Rakim and the others so great! This mass produced garbage on the radio needs to go!

  79. S.... T....

    classic

  80. V.... ....

    this whole album is dope! But why doesn't it have any more views on this song??

  81. 3.... ....
