DMX |
|
Ha ha ha ha ha ha uhh |
|
See to live is to suffer but to survive |
|
well that's to find meaning in the suffering. |
|
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up |
|
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up |
|
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up |
|
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit ! |
|
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up |
|
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up |
|
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up |
|
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit ! |
|
I been through mad different phases like Masons |
|
to find my way & now I know that happy days are not far away |
|
If I'm strong enough I'll live long enough to see my kids |
|
doing something more constructive with they time than bids |
|
I know because I been there |
|
now I'm in there sit back & look at what it took for me to get there |
|
First came the "Howll!!" the drama with my mama |
|
she got on some fly shit "What!" til I split |
|
and said that I'ma be that seed |
|
that doesn't need much to succeed |
|
strapped with mad greed and a heart that doesn't bleed |
|
I'm ready for the world or at least I thought I was |
|
baggin' "Uhh!" when I caught a buzz for thinking about how short I was |
|
Going too fast it wouldn't last but yo I couldn't tell |
|
group homes & institutions, prepare my ass for jail |
|
They put me in a situation forcin' me to be a man |
|
when I was just learnin' to stand without a helpin' hand |
|
Damn, was it my fault, somethin' I did |
|
to make a father leave his first kid at 7 doin' my first bid? |
|
Back on the scene at 14 with a scheme |
|
to get more cream than I'd ever seen in a dream |
|
and by all means I will be living high off the hog |
|
and I never gave a "What!!" about much but my dog |
|
That's my only "Howll!" I had offered my last |
|
Just another little "Come on!!" headed nowhere fast |
|
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up |
|
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up |
|
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up |
|
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit ! |
|
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up |
|
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up |
|
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up |
|
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit ! |
|
That ain't the half "Arf!" get's worse as I get older |
|
actions become bolder heart got colder |
|
chip on my shoulder that I dared a "Uhh!" to touch |
|
didn't need a click cause I scared a "Uh huh" that much |
|
One deep went to for kicks |
|
catchin' vicks throwin' bricks gettin by bein' slick |
|
used to get high to get by used to have to "Howl!!" |
|
in the morning before I get fly |
|
I ate something a couple of forties made me hate somethin' |
|
I did some "Arf" now I'm ready to take some |
|
3 years later showing signs of stress |
|
didn't keep my hair cut or give a "Come on!" how I dressed |
|
I'm possessed by the darker side livin' the cruddy life |
|
"What!" like this kept a nigga with a bloody knife |
|
wanna make records but I'm "howl!" up |
|
I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up |
|
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up |
|
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up |
|
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up |
|
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit ! |
|
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up |
|
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up |
|
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up |
|
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit ! |
|
Wasn't long before I hit rock bottom |
|
"howl!" was like damn look how that "how that" got him |
|
Open like a window no more Indo look at a video |
|
sayin' to myself that could've been yo on the TV |
|
believe me it could be done somethin's got to give |
|
it's got to change cause I've got a son |
|
I've got to do the right thing for shorty |
|
and that means no more getting high drinking forties |
|
So I get back lookin' type slick again |
|
Fake "What!" jump back on my "Uhh uh huh!" again |
|
Nothin' but love for those that know how it feel |
|
Then much respect to all my "Come on!!" that kept it real |
|
Be strong kept a from doin' wrong |
|
"Uhh" who they is and this is yo "What uhh!" song |
|
and to my boo who stuck with a "Arf!" through |
|
