DMX - Slippin lyrics

rate me

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 up!

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

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 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 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

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

Can't get up...I gots to get up

This is from the heart baby, don't get it twisted

Ahh X RATED!!!!!
