In the darkest days, the rain that falls

Hear me from the life that calls
And all the things I need to find an answer for
But in the end I know I'll see

The truth in all that I believe
I do what I gotta do
Cause I know that this, is where I wanna be


[Verse 1: DMX]
Got a lot to say, but don't know who to talk to

Step with a purpose, but don't know where to walk to
Anything I ever said, ever meant something?
I know, because the person I said it to, told me it meant something

My life has a meaning,my life has a purpose
No matter how dark it gets, I knew that it was worth it
$#&@ what it looked like on the surface

Seen it all ,but not all heard us, like sometimes I was worthless
Can't expect everybody to get what you doing
Can't expect them all to be with what you doing

Don't give a $#&@ if a mother$#&@er hating
What you think it is with me ,but whats good with you lately
I hate when I sense this %#@!, trying to make sense of this %#@! knowing that its sensitive %#@!

^!$$%s so dumb, that they don't even sense the %#@!
You said the %#@!, so I know you meant the %#@! you said

[Verse 2: Big Stan]

Born with addiction with fast living with high stakes
I race down a highway of life with no breaks
Make no apologies for the risks that I take

And manning up to the repercussions that I face
No silver spoon, I was raised in a crowded room
Rarely seen the sun, faced a lot of gloom

I hit the streets too soon before 21
Working on the clock since and on it until I'm done
I'm never clocking out, but always locking in

I had a warm heart, lost a lot of friends
And losing them make me feel like I was drowning
So please forgive the chill when you around me

Dreamed of living right, big family, the picket fence
Grandkids I will get to share my story with
But here I am, living vile as I stand my ground

Just hope it doesn't end, with shots fired, man down

[Verse 3: DMX]
If I could bottle the inspiration

Id be a billionaire,straight $#&@in villian yeah, X baby you still in there
I feel the air, I can smell the death in it
Yall be leftin? it so $#&@ ^!$$% step with it

The walk is easy, the journey ain't worth nothing
That's why every day a ^!$$% wanna hurt something
But, I made progress, more or less

If I can avoid the stress, I can avoid the rest
A ^!$$% stay dealing with the bull%#@! daily
^!$$%s is worse than the (*##$es, y'all hear me?

Straight up and fed up(what!), i'll have you sprayed up and wet up(what!)
Now you laid up and won't get up
Now look at what the $#&@ you got yourself into

All I did was open the curtains and you jumped out the window
That's what suckers do
You just a punk mother$#&@er you,got a ^!$$% like mother$#&@er OOH!
