[Intro: Jadakiss & Eminem]

(Fucking prick!) This is my livelihood

That you fuckin' with! A-ha!

This is it right here, baby! (Ahaha)

No more hating in the world (Haha!)

You know (Yeah), it's gon' be what it's gon' be

Ruff Ryders! (Let's go)

[Chorus: Eminem]

Welcome to D-Block, city of broke down dreams

Where things ain't always peachy keen as they seem

City of dope dealers, killers, pimps, pushers

Panhandlers, hustlers and doped out fiends

The sun don't shine here, in this part of town

But we all got a town that's similar to this too

They say every city's got a ghetto, every ghetto's got a hood

Take a good look around you 'cause there's a D-Block near you

[Verse 1: Jadakiss]

Place where ain't nobody that proud, it's a fucking black cloud

That got people under the impression they can act wild

Working around though 'cause if you can pull a trigger on the pound, yo

Five minutes flat, the whole town know

Lotta assuming a nigga's salary

More lies than truth, definitely more rumors than reality

Only way you beating a body's technicality

Other than that catch 'em in Clinton on the gallery

The determination and dedication and discipline

Listening, catching the jewels that you was missing

And they still doing coward shit

You know the hate is gonna always be heavy but the love overpowers it

Something in the air but the older they get

They kill you quicker over a girl than over a brick

We don't play with the lizards, we make phrases up and say 'em exquisite

Anytime you can pay us a visit

[Chorus: Eminem]

Welcome to D-Block, city of broke down dreams

Where things ain't always peachy keen as they seem

City of dope dealers, killers, pimps, pushers

Panhandlers, hustlers and doped out fiends

The sun don't shine here, in this part of town

But we all got a town that's similar to this too

They say every city's got a ghetto, every ghetto's got a hood

Take a good look around you 'cause there's a D-Block near you

[Verse 2: Eminem]

Welcome to D-Block, the mighty, mighty D-Block

The place in New York City where Diddy won't even walk

Its D-Block, the part of Yonkers I wouldn't be caught

Without two pistols on me that'll be cocked in each pocket

D-Block don't even stop to talk, you just keep walking

Stick up kids every block who watch for every opportunity

As soon as you leave out that jewelry shop

And you won't even notice your mind will be so

Preoccupied with that new watch you just copped

You won't even see that ride pulling up alongside you

You'll be shot 'fore you even realize you were spied on for three blocks

D-Block the place where O.G.'s get knocked, locked up

Get out, come home for a week and get re-knocked

You won't even see cops, hip-hop police don't even stop

On D-Block, where everybody wants to be 'Pac

And you can get popped over the new G-Unit Reeboks

[Chorus: Eminem]

Welcome to D-Block, city of broke down dreams

Where things ain't always peachy keen as they seem

City of dope dealers, killers, pimps, pushers

Panhandlers, hustlers and doped out fiends

The sun don't shine here, in this part of town

But we all got a town that's similar to this too

They say every city's got a ghetto, every ghetto's got a hood

Take a good look around you 'cause there's a D-Block near you

[Verse 3: Sheek Louch]

If you bust and your gun got niggas on the run

And you rep where you from, nigga, you D-Block!

And you trying to come up and your pockets is light as a cup

And don't give a fuck, you D-Block!

Ayo, bang-bang nigga, let's get it on

Always been a monster, but its worse now that my son's been born

And every nigga where I be, I put in work for free

It's D-Block, motherfucker; ayo, grab this, P!

[Verse 4: Styles P]

Welcome to D-Block, a place where little niggas is killas

And the mother's raising the sons to turn into gorillas

And the hallways is pissy as hell, all we do is get bigger

More ignorant, you send us to jail

My niggas shoot anything that'll move

Sell drugs, from the rise to the sun to the fall of the moon

I'd die the way I stand, with my man if I can, when the shells come

This is D-Block, y'all welcome!

[Chorus: Eminem]

Welcome to D-Block, city of broke down dreams

Where things ain't always peachy keen as they seem

City of dope dealers, killers, pimps, pushers

Panhandlers, hustlers and doped out fiends

The sun don't shine here, in this part of town

But we all got a town that's similar to this too

They say every city's got a ghetto, every ghetto's got a hood

Take a good look around you 'cause there's a D-Block near you

[Outro: Eminem]

Ruff Ryders!
