DMX lyrics : "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 %#@! 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 bull%#@! the drama with my mama

She got on the fly %#@! 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' ^!$$%s 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 $$# 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 $#&@ about much but my dog
That's my only mother$#&@a I had offered my last

Just another little ^!$$% headed nowhere fast

[Chorus]


[2]
That ain't the half %#@! get's worse as I get older

Actions become bolder heart got colder
Chip on my shoulder that I dared a ^!$$% to touch
Didn't need a click cause I scared a ^!$$% that much

One deep went to for kicks
Catchin' vicks throwin' bricks gettin by bein' slick
Used to get high just 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 !@%!e now I'm ready to take something

3 years later showing signs of stress
Didn't keep my hair cut or give a $#&@ how I dressed
I'm possessed by the darker side livin' the cruddy life

%#@! like this kept a ^!$$% with a bloody knife
Wanna make records but I'm $#&@ing it up
I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up


[Chorus]


[3]
Wasn't long before I hit rock bottom
^!$$%s talking %#@! 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 ^!$$%s jump back on my dick again
Nothin' but love for those that know how it feel

& much respect to all my ^!$$%s that kept it real
Kept a ^!$$% strong kept a ^!$$% from doin wrong
^!$$%s know who they is and this is yo $#&@in' song
And to my boo who stuck with a ^!$$% through
All the bull%#@! you'll get yours because it's due


[Chorus]

Can't get up...I gots to get up
This is from the heart baby, don't get it twisted

Ahh X RATED!!!!!
