[Irv Gotti]
Yeah, I'm just motherfuckin in the studio and shit...
Chillin with this nigga DMX

[DMX]

Trying to let all these people out there know more about my nigga
Yameen, yo, to all that don't know, tell these motherfuckas where you from, yo.

[Irv Gotti]

[DMX]
School Street, Home of The Brave

[Irv Gotti]
But yo, motherfuckin, I've been checkin out, you know, this "Stop Being Greedy" shit

[DMX]
Yeah

[Irv Gotti]
Know what I'm sayin? C-could explain-explain-explain what it is?
I'm hearing like two people!

[DMX]
This shit is really complicated.
I'm not-I'm not a regular nigga when it comes to a flow, ya'meen?
Is like we all got 2 sides, ya'meen?

[Irv Gotti]
Uhm.

[DMX]
It depends on what side of the bed you wake up on.
That would dep-that would depend on who you gon be for that day, ya'meen?
Sometimes you wake up on some bullshit.
Sometimes you wake up like "Yo, it's lovely outside, things are good",
And you gon be that nigga for the day, ya'meen?

[Irv Gotti]
Uhm.

[DMX]
But... There's always 2 sides, dog, ya'meen?
And that's what's that "Stop Being Greedy" it's all about,
It's like I'm showin niggas 2 sides.

[Irv Gotti]
Uhm.
I-i-i-it's like, you-you-you touchin on these rap cats out here.
You know what I'm sayin, all these niggas. all these niggas out here, you know...

[DMX]
I'm tellin niggas to stop being greedy! Ya'meen?
I been doin this shit for while, yo!

[Irv Gotti]
Right.

[DMX]
For mad years, yo!

[Irv Gotti]
Uhm.

[DMX]
Ya'meen, and... it's like, you know, closing the door,
You know, so it's like "yo, stop being greedy, man!
You know, Ima bite you! Stop being greedy!
You know, don't make me take the food!"
You know? Everyday...

[Irv Gotti]
Right, right...
And-and how-how's-how-how's-how's the rhyme-how's the rhyme go?

[DMX]
Matter fact, matter fact!
Ima hit you like this.
Cuz this-this-this, ya'meen,
And then you will can see what's it all about,
Ya'meen, for that "Stop Being Greedy" joint.
Two sides, ya'meen?
This is the cool nigga, you know, the positive nigga:
"I could flip that flow, I could stick that hoe
I could get that dough, you know I'm with that, yo
Anything about the shit I came thru,
I haven't seen
But when it gets dark,
It's like a nigga's having dreams."
Having dreams.
Then is that bad nigga
"All nightmares, the light dares to desert me
Got me like 'Everybody wants to hurt me'
Paranoid, so I strike out at whatever.
Closest thing to me is gon get it, but never!"
Ya'meen, so it's like,
You see the confrontation of the good and the bad.
And when you hear the beat change,
You hear the personally change.

[Irv Gotti]
Uhm.
