Coming From DMX, Mary J. Blige

[00:09.40] (Feat. Mary J. Blige)
[00:10.36] [DMX]
[00:12.17] Believe me, when I say
[00:13.01] Before light, there was dark
[00:15.78] [Mary J. Blige]
[00:20.25] Where you going, where you going?
[00:22.01] Where you going, where you going?
[00:24.73] Where you going?
[00:29.21] If I don't know where I'm coming from
[00:31.97] Where would I go?
[00:33.79] If I don't know where I'm coming from
[00:37.49] Where would I go?
[00:40.19] If I don't know where I'm coming from
[00:42.82] Where would I go?
[00:45.53] If I don't know where I'm coming from
[00:48.28] Where would I go?
[00:50.05] [DMX]
[00:50.94] Places that I've have been, things that I have seen
[00:53.60] What you call a nightmare, are what I have as dreams
[00:56.39] Bad as that may seem, I know is only going to get worse
[00:59.02] Love, a slug, which one am I gonna get first?
[01:01.78] My journey's been a rough one, I'm not sure when it begins
[01:04.45] But the way it's looking, I kind of know when it's gonna end
[01:07.12] Hold me down baby, it's gonna be a rough ride
[01:10.81] Niggas give us plenty of room, cause I guess enough died
[01:13.52] Let me travel, cause my intentions are to travel in peace
[01:16.30] Fuck around I lay you down, you hit the gravel and cease
[01:18.07] I could be a beast, or I could be a gentleman
[01:20.75] But if you ain't my dog, you gonna be like 'Oh, it's him again'
[01:23.44] Niggas will never win, this whole rap game is mine
[01:26.11] Hot as you ever been, I was that in eighty nine
[01:28.85] Seek and you shall find, look within and you will know
[01:32.40] Where you coming from, and where you gotta go
[01:34.28] Come on!
[01:39.66] [Mary J. Blige]
[01:40.58] If I don't know where I'm coming from
[01:43.24] Where would I go?
[01:45.18] If I don't know where I'm coming from
[01:47.82] Where would I go?
[01:50.55] -Got to keep it real with me
[01:51.46] If I don't know where I'm coming from
[01:53.21] Where would I go?
[01:55.05] -So the hell with you
[01:55.95] If I don't know where I'm coming from
[01:58.63] Where would I go?
[02:02.28] -I think I'm going to the top
[02:03.14] Me and DMX
[02:04.09] [DMX]
[02:04.92] I will spend mad time in one spot, plotting my next move
[02:05.84] Trying to figure out what is it, that X do what X do
[02:08.58] Some questions go unanswered, that's what I'm afraid of
[02:10.35] Sometimes I can't show, but I know what I'm made of
[02:13.03] They made love, or should I say they made lust
[02:15.73] Bound, there didn't have to be love there, but they made us
[02:18.48] I got quite a few sisters, I was the only boy
[02:20.35] But being with my dog, was my only joy
[02:23.95] Like a kid with a new toy, I forgot about the?
[02:26.67] Escaped the misery, didn't think about the crime
[02:29.32] Lost all track of time, was in another world
[02:32.01] Everybody knew Earl, but there was another Earl
[02:34.71] Like the side of the dark, riding the park but wouldn't want to
[02:37.45] When they jump me, became a good runner
[02:40.16] One by one they all went under, so I had the last laugh
[02:43.72] They all thought it all was a joke, but I had the last laugh
[02:45.52] [Mary J. Blige]
[02:46.43] Ha ha ha ha ha ha
[02:50.01] [DMX]
[02:50.97] Come on!
[02:51.82] [Mary J. Blige]
[02:52.73] If I don't know where I'm coming from
[02:54.53] Where would I go?
[02:56.48] -If I don't know, I don't know
[03:00.05] If I don't know where I'm coming from
[03:05.49] Where would I go?
[03:09.04] -But I know where I'm going
[03:11.79] If I don't know where I'm coming from
[03:12.67] Where would I go?
[03:13.58] -But I know where I'm going
[03:14.48] If I don't know where I'm coming from
[03:15.30] Where would I go?
[03:16.23] -Do you know, do you know
[03:17.17] [DMX]
[03:18.06] I feel the ghost from within, coming back to haunt me
[03:18.96] Stay love in my peoples, even though they don't want me
[03:19.81] When I was bad, I was forgotten, like I was dead and rotten
[03:20.74] Should've been getting love, but instead was plotting
[03:24.32] Shit wasn't right, and it was all blamed on me
[03:27.07] Didn't know that I was special till this rap shit came to be
[03:29.81] Gave me a way out, showed me it was better to teach
[03:32.55] Than bust niggas with the fo-fo, leave them dead in the streets
[03:35.28] Over beef that was worth less, than the cost of the slugs
[03:38.83] That I bought to kill them
[03:40.69] And that's because I thought I ought to kill them
[03:42.45] Little did I know, death wasn't right
[03:44.26] Didn't always show every breath was a life
[03:46.01] It was to be captured in suspended animation
[03:48.78] To be felt by all, understood by every nation
[03:51.47] What's the sense of hating, when I can show love
[03:53.29] What's the sense of faking, when I can show blood
[03:55.91] [Mary J. Blige]
[03:56.80] Now what's the moral to this story?
[03:59.62] [DMX]
[04:00.59] Come on!
[04:02.36] [Mary J. Blige]
[04:03.22] If I don't know where I'm coming from
[04:04.13] Where would I go?
[04:06.85] If I don't know where I'm coming from
[04:08.60] Where would I go?
[04:11.31] -If I don't know, I don't know
[04:12.24] If I don't know where I'm coming from
[04:14.90] Where would I go?
[04:17.65] -But I know where I'm coming from
[04:19.42] If I don't know where I'm coming from
[04:20.37] Where would I go?
[04:21.21] -Do you know where you're coming from?
[04:23.03] Yonkers is where we grew
[04:27.52] Trials we got through
[04:30.24] On top is where we staying
[04:32.91] Till the end, as long as we'll pray
[04:35.74] On Hot97 ya hear
[04:39.38] DMX all through the year
[04:47.40]
