7.Coming From
Vocal：Dmx／Mary J.Blige
DMX
Believe me before life, it was dark
Hook (Mary)
If I don't know where I'm comin from, where would I go (repeat
3x)
Verse 1
Places that I've been
the thing that I have seen
What you call a nightmare
but what I have is dreams
Now that it may seems
I know its only goin to get worse
Love or slug
which one am I gonna get first
My journey's been a rough one
I'm not sure when it began
But da way it's slippin
I kinda know when this shit is gonna end
what shed love
Love hold me down baby
it's gonna be a ruff ryde
Niggas give us plenty room
cuz I guess enough died
Let me travel my intentions
I'd rather travel in peace
But fuck around, I'll lay you down
You'll hit the gravel in cease
I could be a beast or I could be a gentleman
If you ain't my dog
you'll be like 'oh it's him again'
Niggas will never win
this whole rap game is mine
Hottest as you ever been
I was that in '89
Seeking as you shall find
Look within it, you will know
Where you comin from and where you gotta go (come on)
Hook
Verse 2
I would spend mad time in one spot
plottin my next move
Tryin to figure out who is it the next dude X will do
Some questions go unanswered
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, found it
Didn't have to be love there
but they made us
I got quite a few sisters
I was the only boy
But being with my dog
was my only choice
Like a kid with a new towy
I forgot about the crime
I stayed with 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
fightin the park, but wouldn't wanna
Stayed and fought
But when they came and jump me
became a good runner
One by one, they all went under
So I had the last laugh
They all thought it was a joke
But I had the last laugh (ah ha ha)
Hook
Verse 3
I feel the ghost from within, comin back to haunt me
Stay lovin my peoples eventhough 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 was all blamed on me
I didn't know that I was special until this rap shit came to be
Gave me a way out
Showed me it was better to teach
Than to bust niggas with the 4-4, leave them dead in the streets
Saw da beef was worth less than
The cost of the slugs I bought to kill'em
And that's because I thought that I wanted to kill'em
Little did I know death wasn't right
Didn't always show, every breath was a life
Than to be captured and suspended animation
To be felt by arm, understood by every nation
What's the sense of hatin' when I could show love
What's the sense of fakin' when I could shed blood
Hook
Mary Sings
Yonkers is where we grew, trials we got threw
On top is where we stay, till the end as long as we pray
BK is where Swizz plays, spins tracks everyday
On HOT 97 you hear, DMX all through the year
