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 x2}
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
[DMX]
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
{repeat 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
