Believe me when I say
|
Before light, there was dark
|
Where you going, where you going?
|
Where you going, where you going?
|
Where you going?
|
If I don’t know where I’m coming from
|
Where would I go?
|
If I don’t know where I’m coming from
|
Where would I go?
|
If I don’t know where I’m coming from
|
Where would I go?
|
If I don’t know where I’m coming from
|
Where would I go?
|
Places that I’ve have been, things that I have seen
|
What you call a nightmare, are what I have as dreams
|
Bad as that may seem, I know it’s only gonna get worse
|
Love, or a slug, which one am I gonna get first?
|
My journey’s been a rough one, I’m not sure when it began
|
But the way it’s looking, I kind of know when it’s gonna end
|
Thin love, hold me down baby, it’s gon' be a rough ride
|
Niggas give us plenty of room, 'cause I guess enough died
|
Let me travel, 'cause my intentions are to travel in peace
|
Fuck around I lay you down, you hit the gravel and cease
|
I could be a beast, or I could be a gentleman
|
But if you ain’t my dog, you gonna be like «Oh, it’s him again»
|
Niggas will never win, this whole rap game is mine
|
Hot as you ever been, I was that in '89
|
Seek and you shall find, look within and you will know
|
Where you coming from, and where you gotta go
|
Come on!
|
If I don’t know where I’m coming from
|
Where would I go?
|
If I don’t know where I’m coming from
|
Where would I go?
|
-Gotta keep it real with me
|
If I don’t know where I’m coming from
|
Where would I go?
|
-So the hell with you
|
If I don’t know where I’m coming from
|
Where would I go?
|
-I think I’m going to the top
|
Me and DMX
|
I will spend mad time in one spot, plottin' my next move
|
Tryin' figure out — why is it, that X do what X do
|
Some questions go unanswered (why?), that’s what I’m afraid of
|
Sometimes I can’t show, but I know what I’m made of
|
They made love, or should I say they made lust
|
Bound, there didn’t have to be love there, cause they made us
|
I got quite a few sisters, I was the only boy
|
But being with my dog, was my only joy
|
Like a kid with a new toy, I forgot about the grime
|
Escaped the misery, didn’t think about the crime
|
Lost all track of time, was in another world
|
Everybody knew Earl, but there was another Earl
|
Lighter side of the dark, fight in the park but wouldn’t wanna
|
Stayed and fought, but when they jumped me, became a good runner
|
One by one they all went under, so I had the last laugh
|
They all thought it all was a joke; |
I had the last laugh
|
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
|
Come on!
|
If I don’t know where I’m coming from
|
-If I don’t know, I don’t know
|
Where would I go?
|
-Where would I go?
|
If I don’t know where I’m coming from
|
Where would I go?
|
-Where we going, where we going, where we going?
|
If I don’t know where I’m coming from
|
-Where I’m going
|
Where would I go?
|
-But I know where I’m going
|
If I don’t know where I’m coming from
|
-Do you know, do you know
|
Where would I go?
|
-I go, I go
|
I feel the ghost from within, comin' back to haunt me
|
Stay lovin' my peoples, even though they don’t want me
|
When I was bad, I was forgotten, like I was dead and rotten
|
Should’ve been gettin' love, but instead was plottin'
|
Shit wasn’t right, and it was all blamed on me
|
Didn’t know that I was special 'til this rap shit came to be
|
Gave me a way out, showed me it was better to teach
|
Than bust niggas with the 4−4, leave 'em dead in the streets
|
Over beef that was worth less, than the cost of the slugs that I bought to kill
|
them
|
And that’s because I thought I ought to kill 'em
|
Little did I know, death wasn’t right
|
Didn’t always show every breath was a life
|
It was to be captured in suspended animation
|
To be felt by all, understood by every nation
|
What’s the sense of hatin', when I can show love
|
What’s the sense of fakin', when I can show blood
|
Now what’s the moral to this story?
|
Come on!
|
If I don’t know where I’m coming from
|
Where would I go?
|
-Where would I go?
|
If I don’t know where I’m coming from
|
-If I don’t know, I don’t know
|
Where would I go?
|
If I don’t know where I’m coming from
|
-I don’t know
|
Where would I go?
|
-But I know where I’m coming from
|
If I don’t know where I’m coming from
|
-Do you know where you’re coming from?
|
Where would I go?
|
Yonkers is where we grew
|
Trials we got through
|
On top is where we’ll stay
|
'Til the end, as long as we’ll pray
|
On Hot97 ya hear
|
DMX all through the year |
