[Chorus 2X: DMC]
|
The wife, the kids, the things, I did
|
I'm lookin at my life and how I lived
|
Is it negative, is it positive
|
Only God knows what it really is
|
|
[DMC]
|
My wife's mad at me cause I'm drinkin again
|
Comin home with my breath stinkin again
|
Got me goin down the drain, got me sinkin again
|
All the alcohol got me thinkin again
|
If I take my own life that's suicide
|
I think about the nights I laid down and cried
|
I think about the brothers who already died
|
And I took so many drugs now my brain is fried
|
When I walk through the streets God is my guide
|
I always try to run but I just can't hide
|
Won't talk to the preacher cause the preacher lied
|
I asked for salvation and I was denied
|
Listen up everybody this is Darryl's song
|
I'm tryin to figure out what's right and wrong
|
I'm lookin at the world and do I belong
|
And like Marvin Gaye said, "What's Going On?"
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[DMC]
|
When I'm alone in my room starin at the wall
|
I hear all the ghosts walkin in the hall
|
Voices in the head keep talkin to me
|
What's fantasy, what's reality
|
They say go in the kitchen, and grab the knife
|
Kill the kids, kill the wife
|
Turn it on yourself and take your own life
|
And I know, I know, I know that ain't right
|
But let me tell you somethin it gets deeper than that
|
I'm lookin for where the Grim Reaper is at
|
I knocked on his door he said come on in
|
And by the way you shoulda brought a friend
|
I said no, it's me, myself and I
|
And not too many people want to die
|
I'm sittin in my living room talkin to Death
|
Tryin to figure out, what I got left
|
|
[Chorus - 1/2]
|
|
[Interlude: DMC]
|
Aiyyo man, you see that gun over there man
|
You need to pick it up and use it on yourself
|
Nahh nahh I ain't ain't gon' do that
|
Well then, you should take it outside and
|
Y'know you got a bullet with everybody's name on it
|
Ahh let me think about it man, let me just take a walk ah
|
Yo, who dat comin?
|
|
[DMC]
|
When I left the Grim Reaper, I ran into Christ
|
He said DMC you could walk on ice
|
Remember those times that you never fell
|
God was holdin you up, man couldn't you tell
|
I kept you cock diesel just like LL
|
Strong with a "Message" like Melle Mel
|
When things was bad, you was doin fine
|
You did a good job of not losin your mind
|
You even read the bible like a hundred times
|
The meaning of life is not hard to find
|
Take a look around, look into yourself
|
You know where to go when you need help
|
And all those times you thought you was alone
|
It was you, yourself and that microphone
|
So don't give up, keep writin those rhymes
|
You're makin a way for a better mankind
|
|
[Chorus]
|
