Karaoké Slippin' DMX

See

To live is to suffer

But to survive well that's to find meanin' in the sufferin'

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I can't get up

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I can't get up

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I gots to get up

Get me back on my feet so I can tear shh

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I can't get up

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I can't get up

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I gots to get up

Get me back on my feet so I can tear shh

I've been through mad different phases like mazes to find my way

And now I know that happy days are not far away

If I'm strong enough I'll live long enough to see my kid doin' somethin' more constructive with their time than bids

I know because I been there now I'm in there

Sit back and look at what it took for me to get there

First came the wooh

The drama with my mama

She got on some fly so I split and said that

Imma 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' uh when I caught a buzz for thinkin' about how short I was

Goin' too fast, it wouldn't last but yo I couldn't tell

Group homes and institutions prepared 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 seven doin' my first bid

Back on the scene at fourteen with a scheme to get more cream than I'd ever seen in a dream

And by all means

I will be livin' high off the hog

And I never gave a about much but my dog

That's my only wooh

I hit off with my last

Just another lil' come on headed nowhere fast

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I can't get up

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I can't get up

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I gots to get up

Get me back on my feet so I can tear shh

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I can't get up

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I can't get up

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I gots to get up

Get me back on my feet so I can tear shh

That ain't the half

Ah it gets 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 clique 'cos I scared a that much

One deep with the startin' for kicks

Catchin' vics, throwin' bricks

Gettin' by bein' slick

Used to get high just to get by

Used to have to wooh in the mornin' before I could fly

Ate somethin'

A couple of forties made me hate somethin'

I did some ugh now I'm ready to take somethin'

Three years later showin' 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 wooh it up

I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I can't get up

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I can't get up

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I can't get up

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I gots to get up

Get me back on my feet so I can tear shh

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I can't get up

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I can't get up

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I gots to get up

Get me back on my feet so I can tear shh

Wasn't long before

I hit rock bottom

Wooh like Damn look how that ah got him

Open like a window

No more indo

Look at a video sayin' to myself

That coulda been yo

Ass on the TV

Believe me it could be done

Somethin's got to give

Gots to change 'cos now I've got a son

I gots to do the right thing for shorty and that means no more gettin' high, drinkin' forties

So I get back lookin' type slick again

Fake what jump back on my again

Nothin' but love for those that know how it feel and much respect to all my that kept it real

Strong kept a from doin' wrong

Know who they is and this is your what song

And to my boo who stuck with a ugh through

All the bull

You'll get yours because it's due

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I can't get up

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I can't get up

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I gots to get up

Get me back on my feet so I can tear shh

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I can't get up

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I can't get up

Ayo I'm slippin', I'm fallin'

I gots to get up

Get me back on my feet so I can tear shh

I know I can't get up but I gots to get up

Can't get up

Can't get up but I gots to get up

Get me back on my feet so I can tear shh
