We Don’t Give A Fuck Lyrics

[Chorus: Jadakiss]
Uhh, used to be my dawg, you was in my left titty
Screamed, “Ryde or Die!”, I thought you would die wit' me
Found out you a bitch, you can’t even ryde wit' me
Now it’s a war, and you ain’t on the side wit' me
Used to be my dawg, you was in my left titty
Screamed, “Ryde or Die!”, I thought you would die wit' me
Found out you a bitch, you can’t even ryde wit' me
Now it’s a war, and you ain’t on the side wit' me

[Verse 1: DMX]
When it rain, niggas get wet, so stay dry (uh)
Don't cross me, I can peep a snake eye (woo)
You just lost me, like yo' shadow in the dark (uh-huh)
Fucked around and forced me to hit the shadow with the spark (UHH)
Blew your shit apart -- now it's two halves of one nigga
"Look at him," I said after a few laughs, "Dumb nigga!
Stupid is as stupid does, cocksucker, (WHAT?)
And look what being stupid does: gets you shot, sucker!" (WHAT?)
I let you get too close and you bit me (uh)
I closed my eyes for too long, you tried to hit me
Thought you was wit me (uhh)
Well you might as well forget me 'cause from this point on (uh-huh)
It's war, it won't stop until one of us is gone (c'mon!)
I'm still mad at myself for lettin' that shit go down (UHH)
Somebody shoulda told me I was fuckin' wit a clown (aight?)
And I think they found them lil niggas drowned...
.. you know how shit get around

[Chorus: Jadakiss]
Uhh, used to be my dawg, you was in my left titty
Screamed, “Ryde or Die!”, I thought you would die wit' me
Found out you a bitch, you can’t even ryde wit' me
Now it’s a war, and you ain’t on the side wit' me
Used to be my dawg, you was in my left titty
Screamed, “Ryde or Die!”, I thought you would die wit' me
Found out you a bitch, you can’t even ryde wit' me
Now it’s a war, and you ain’t on the side wit' me

[Verse 2: Styles P & DMX]
Ayo X fuck them niggas, them niggas ain't your dogs
Better treat like some cats and shake they ass to the floor
Been seen the foul shit, put the guns in 'em
Lil' wannabe yous, why you run wit 'em?
You can't trust niggas no further than you can throw 'em
You don't wanna murder the niggas, then you blow 'em
He usin' yo' style, that make him yo' child and he shouldn't make a move 'till he hear it from yo' mouth
We don't allow snakes, runnin wit dogs
Tell them ain't nuttin' like a funeral that's gonna be yours
Double-R, and I ain't here to start trouble God
But if they wasn't your niggas I woulda been hit 'em hard
Niggas look like they phony (What)
Sound like they phony (Huh)
Run around actin' like motherfuckers homies
We all make mistakes, that's part of the breaks
But you can still call the apes, we bringin' the duct tape
And the broomstick, them bitch-ass niggas is gettin' raped
Know how we ride, whoever on they side can die
And we ain't tryna be blind, fuck eye for eye
Cause we only takin' yours, you know the dogs, motherfucker

[Chorus: Jadakiss]
Uhh, used to be my dawg, you was in my left titty
Screamed, “Ryde or Die!”, I thought you would die wit' me
Found out you a bitch, you can’t even ryde wit' me
Now it’s a war, and you ain’t on the side wit' me
Used to be my dawg, you was in my left titty
Screamed, “Ryde or Die!”, I thought you would die wit' me
Found out you a bitch, you can’t even ryde wit' me
Now it’s a war, and you ain’t on the side wit' me

[Verse 3: DMX]
There was always somethin there, but I just couldn't touch it (uh-huh)
Wasn't somethin that would hurt me, so a nigga said, "Fuck it!" (uhh)
I let it slide, laughed and joked, and let it ride (true)
Now that you done killed it, I'm glad that it died! (AIGHT?)
It's aight, I know where you live, I'm just waitin (uhh)
Til we knock on your front door, and let you meet Satan (c'mon!)
That's what you get for hatin -- FUCK YOU FAGGOT! (WHAT?)
I never did trust you, faggot -- I'll bust you, faggot! (WHAT?)
What you done forgot about the streets is this: (uhh)
You do a grimy nigga like you do a grimy bitch (AIGHT?)
You just STOP fuckin wit him, you got no more rap (uh)
No more, "Yo whassup D?", no more dap (uhh)
Be lucky if I don't spit in your face, off of G.P. (WHAT?)
AND WHAT? Bitch-ass nigga, you can't beat me (woo)
Don't take it as a loss, just take it as a lesson:
Next time think twice, or get iced wit the Wesson, nigga! (Nigga!)

This is a diss track towards Ja Rule that is ironically enough produced by Irv Gotti who is one of the co-founders and head of Ja Rule’s record label Murder Inc. Records and also a close friend to both of them. Ja Rule responded in The Murderers song “We Different” that was released a bit over a year later.

On July 26 2002, DMX was at a Chicago studio where he spoke to MTVNews and confirmed that this song is directed towards Ja Rule:

I bit him lightly, on the second album [Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood]. ‘Use to be my dog, you were in my left titty.’ The funny shit is that Gotti did the beat. But I see he didn’t get the point. I’m like, ‘Come on dog, what are you doing?’

Irv Gotti also confirmed that this song is directed towards Ja Rule in a 2002 interview with radio host Big Von on San Francisco radio station KMEL where Irv Gotti also said he could’ve easily threw this record out since he produced it but he let it ride.

DMX once again confirmed that this track is aimed towards Ja Rule in a 2009 interview

In November 2017, while on the Drink Champs podcast, Irv Gotti said that DMX did this song after DMX grew tired of people constantly thinking and asking if Ja Rule’s 1999 solo debut single “Holla Holla” was his and because DMX thought Ja Rule was biting his style and his voice sounded like DMX’s. The timeline however doesn’t match because Flesh of my Flesh, Blood Of My Blood was released in December 1998, while “Holla Holla” was released in March 1999. The comparisons and people thinking Ja Rule was DMX most likely started from Ja Rule’s major breakout feature on Jay-Z’s hit song “Can I Get A…” that was released in August 1998. Irv Gotti also explained Ja Rule’s enraged reaction to the song when Irv Gotti played it for him in his truck and he told Ja Rule that he was gonna pull the song off the album but Ja Rule told him to leave it.

Irv Gotti also talked about it again when he and Ja Rule were on Drink Champs in August 2022.

In December 2023, While on The Breakfast Club, Styles P confirmed that this song is about Ja Rule.
