DMX – Slippin
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
[Chorus]
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 up!
[Repeat]
[1]
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 bullshit the drama with my mama
she got on the fly shit until 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? niggas 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 fuck about much but my dog
That´s my only motherfucka I had offered my last
Just another little nigga headed nowhere fast
[Chorus]
[2]
That ain´t the half shit get?s worse as I get older
actions become bolder heart got colder
chip on my shoulder that I dared a nigga to touch
didn´t need a click cause I scared a nigga 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 puff my L
in the morning before I get fly
I ate something a couple of forties made me hate somethin´
I did some coke now I´m ready to take something
3 years later showing signs of stress
didn´t keep my hair cut or give a fuck how I dressed
I´m possessed by the darker side livin´ the cruddy life
Shit like this kept a nigga with a bloody knife
wanna make records but I´m fucking it up
I´m slippin? I´m fallin´ I can´t get up
[Chorus]
[3]
Wasn´t long before I hit rock bottom
Niggas talking shit like damn look how that rock 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 niggas jump back on my dick again
Nothin? but love for those that know how it feel
& much respect to all my niggas that kept it real
Kept a nigga strong kept a nigga from doin wrong
Niggas know who they is and this is yo fuckin? song
and to my boo who stuck with a nigga through
all the bullshit you´ll get yours because it´s due
[Chorus]
can´t get upI gots to get up
This is from the heart baby, don´t get it twisted
Ahh X RATED!!!!!
