Belly is a 1998 American crime drama film, directed by music video director Hype Williams, in his film directing debut. Filmed in New York City, the film stars rappers DMX and Nas, alongside Taral Hicks, Method Man, dancehall artist Louie Rankin and R&B singer T-Boz. Besides starring in the film, Nas also narrates and collaborated with Hype Williams on the film's script along with DMX (who, uncredited, also narrates the beginning and the end parts of the film).
The film begins in early 1999, with two young New York street criminals Tommy Bunds ("Bundy") (DMX) and Sincere ("Sin") (Nas), along with their associates in crime Mark and Black. The four violently rob a nightclub, murdering five people. Escaping in a stolen car, they cheer their success. Black goes to dump the car while the rest retreat to Tommy's house, where they celebrate and joke around (The movie Gummo is playing on the TV), waking Tommy's girlfriend Keisha (Taral Hicks). Sincere soon leaves and is followed in gesture by the others. He returns home to his girlfriend Tionne (Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins) and infant daughter Kenya. Meanwhile, Tommy learns of a new form of heroin which he takes as a lucrative business opportunity.

Sour me, ouch
I was friendly with this girl
Who insisted on touching my face
She told outrageous stories, I believed them
'Til the endings were changing from endings before
She's not touching me anymore
Untogether
I couldn't help her, I got hard
You can try your life
You can't save the un-savourably untogether
I was shipwrecked with this frog
Who was endlessly testing my faith
He made outrageous demands, I ignored him
'Til I strapped on my boat feet and surfed into shore
He's not touching me anymore
Untogether
I couldn't help him, I got hard
You can try your life
You can't change the unchange-ably untogether
Now the bird nest on my back
Keeps me turning and straining to see
We threw outrageous parties, we were golden
Now the bird keeps it's distance and I keep my speech
Sometimes there's no poison like a dream
Untogether
I couldn't help it, it got hard
You can dry your eyes
