[Intro: 50 Cent]
Yeah, let's take 'em back (This is the remix)
[Verse 1: Dogmatic]
I was born in raised in Detroit off 8 Mile
Where niggas always quick to bust and never smile
Separating white and black then rich from po'
Nowadays nigga say it don't matter no mo'
Used to steal niggas bikes from the back of they porches
Now I'm rolling Tahoes, Beamers and Porshes
But not before I had to count the losses
Now everybody in my crew is becoming bosses
I guess the rap game is full of softies
Niggas lying, stabbing you out, it cost me
I еven my nigga Big Bud
Things ain't been the same in thе hood
You hope you ain't next, so keep knocking on this wood
Man 'cause bullets be hot and it ain't all good
What we think it is, so keep your mind on your rhymes
Stay focused man and handle your biz
It is what it is and it stank
There's killers on the block and they're ready to pull rank (Let's take 'em back)
From the bricks and whips and that indo
Fat stacks of cash, they got the MACH ready to blast
I started rapping to get out of my past
But then I found out the rap game was the same
I learned things, never don't deserve shit
Plus they don't really even [?]
[Chorus: Dogmatic & Mary J. Blige & 50 Cent]
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine, homie, until my heart stop
So envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere so you can get to know me
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine, homie, until my heart stop
Go 'head, envy me, I'm a soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't goin' nowhere but you already kno w me
[Verse 2: Mary J. Blige]
Then I came with "Share My World"
But at that point I was just a foolish girl trying to find my way
Then I dropped the Mary album
And people were saying that it's just not gonna work
And my feelings, they did hurt
But my fans showed me so much love
And I owe it all to them
Then I came with "No More Drama", I remember that week
Yeah, it was when Aaliyah died, I couldn't hardly sleep
Thought about it every day and it made me change my way
I'm a real woman now because of all of these days
[Chorus: Dogmatic & Mary J. Blige & 50 Cent]
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine, homie, until my heart stop
Go 'head, envy me, I'm a soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't goin' nowhere but you already know me
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine, homie, until my heart stop
So bet on me, 'cause I'm the shit rap ain't seen
And niggas scared of my flows so they try to hoe me
[Verse 3: Dogmatic]
I guess Shady got mad at me (Why?)
'Cause "Promatic" came out and made him unfunny
So they took our Proof, cancelled MTV and The Source photoshoot
Maybe you didn't show up 'cause you had to
Be loyal to your job
So Dogmatic the only nigga that got robbed
And in the beginning we ain't asked him for shit
So if they wouldn't gotten away, nigga we could've did
I guess I got used to break away from Marshall
So I got Proof, who's idea it was to launch it (Tell the truth nigga)
And I ain't even got beef
But still I ain't putting my tongue between my teeth
So maybe one day we can do business the right way (I still love you)
Get in niggas brain while I share my little compadres
SICKNOTES! 'Til the day that I die
I started that shit so don't ask me why
And even if they kill me
That bullshit they pulled will never be real G (Never!)
My nigga Obie told me "nobody was closer than Em and P"
That let me know right there who the fuck was disrespecting me (What! Damn!)
And the truth hurts but the truth works
And that's what I get to give at every concert
When niggas really didn't want me around (Fuck y'all niggas)
I couldn't understand but I know now
[Chorus: Mary J. Blige & 50 Cent]
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine, homie, until my heart stop
So envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere so you can get to know me
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine, homie, until my heart stop
Go 'head, envy me, I'm a soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't goin' nowhere but you already know me
[Bridge: Mary J. Blige]
You remind me of a real love (You don't have to worry)
Real love
All night long I'm goin' down
Reminisce on the love we have
You are everything, love without a limit
What you gonna do without my life, my life, my life, my life?
[Chorus: Dogmatic & Mary J. Blige & 50 Cent]
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine, homie, until my heart stop
Go 'head, envy me, I'm a soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't goin' nowhere but you already know me
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine, homie, until my heart stop
Go 'head, envy me, I'm a soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't goin' nowhere but you already know me
[Post Chorus: Mary J. Blige]
Hate it or love it (I'm gon', I'm gon' shine)
I'm gon' shine (I'm gon', I'm gon' shine)
Go 'head, envy me (Hey, hey), I'm the soul hip-hop queen
And I ain't goin' nowhere but you already know me
[Outro: Dogmatic]
There it is, Love It Or Hate It baby
Dogmatic
I ain't going nowhere, you know what I'm saying
So this is for all my haters, I love you for hating me
It's all good
So you know what I'm saying
Whoever don't like, fuck you
