Uh-huh (Y'KNOW?)
|
..
|
ARF!
|
Uhh..
|
|
Take it for what it's worth, my birth was a blessing
|
Sent to live and die, on earth as a lesson
|
We each have a star, all we have to do is find it
|
Once you do, everyone who sees it will be blinded (WHAT?)
|
They'll tell you that you're bright, and say you have a future
|
When you turn your back, same cats'll try to shoot ya
|
Niggaz ain't shit, I can live on both sides of the fence
|
Forget what you do, when you talk, see what you really meant (aight?)
|
That's what I thought, them niggaz was bluffin (uh)
|
They talk all day but say, nothin (uh)
|
It gets so dark (WHAT?) haze so intense
|
Since this first rain it's like it's rained ever since (WHAT?)
|
Never got paid for a rhyme but I flow (whoo)
|
Never got a plate on time but I grow (whoo)
|
Live your life, STAY on the line but I go (UHH)
|
Went from doin crime to bein kind cause I know
|
|
Chorus: DMX (repeat 2X)
|
|
I'm gon' live forever, I'm never gon' die
|
Only thing I fear is that I'm never gon' fly
|
Carry my weight but I'm never gon' cry
|
Shit I tell y'all niggaz straight cause I'm never gon' lie
|

|
What is about who I am that makes me unforgettable (HMM)
|
What it is about what I've done that makes it so incredible (uhh)
|
"More money, more problems" -- well the fame was worse (uh-huh)
|
I reached out for love and what came back was thirst (WHAT?)
|
Blessed with the curse (uh) niggaz don't hear me
|
Niggaz don't hear me, Y'ALL NIGGAZ, don't hear me (uh)
|
What'd I just say? "Nigga g'head" - you see that?
|
You gots to FEEL ME to catch what I'm sayin, BELIEVE THAT (UHH!)
|
But leave that, alone (WHAT?)
|
We gon' make a nigga wanna be at, your home (WHAT?)
|
Oh you kinda quiet with the heat at, your dome (UHH!)
|
If the dog got he's gonna bring back a bone
|
cause we got the chrome (C'MON!)
|
This is what I live for, or die for
|
I'm the nigga with the high score, you try for
|
What you niggaz wanna lie for? It changes nothin
|
I'm true for cats, yet some strangers bluffin
|
|
Chorus

[DMX]
|
Now if I take what he gave me and I, use it right (uh-huh)
|
In other words if I listen and, use the light (uh-huh)
|
Then what I say will remain here, after I'm gone
|
Still here, on the strength of a song, I live on (HMM)
|
No second-guessin on what I stood for, I was good for
|
stoppin niggaz from killin each other in the hood war (UHH)
|
Comin through showin love, throwin up (UHH)
|
Them cats not throwin love, you know whassup (WHAT?)
|
Dark Man baby, that's my name
|
and I gots to be the realest nigga (UHH) up in this game
|
Cause ain't no shame, they don't make em like, this no more
|
Real to the core, big heart but built for war
|
I stand for what I believe in
|
Even if what I believe in stops me from breathin
|
Relatives grievin, but I ain't went nowhere
|
Listen to the song (C'MON) I'm right there
|
|
