Let Me Fly DMX

[00:09.84] If you love somethin', let it go
[00:11.94] If it comes back to you it's yours
[00:14.14] If it doesn't, it never was
[00:16.93] Hold me down, baby
[00:19.38] Either let me fly or give me death
[00:21.58] Let my soul rest, take my breath
[00:23.90] If I don't fly I'ma die anyway
[00:26.64] I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day
[00:29.10] Either let me fly or give me death
[00:31.57] Let my soul rest, take my breath
[00:33.96] If I don't fly I'ma die anyway
[00:36.48] I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day
[00:39.38] Hold me down, niggas wanna know me now
[00:41.73] Didn't want to play with me when to show me how
[00:44.20] No meow, 'cause it's all about the bark
[00:46.73] Let the dog loose, baby, it's about to spark
[00:49.20] Light up the night like the 4th of July
[00:51.82] Niggas know, when I let go, niggas die
[00:54.34] With this Y and you don't know, you slow
[00:56.55] Like Baltimore, if you ain't tryin' to go you blow
[00:59.15] I soak up all the pain and accept it in silence
[01:01.82] When I let go it's violence, 'cause the wildest
[01:04.37] Is the dog barkin' up the tree for the cat
[01:06.89] In the fog, what y'all niggas see is the bat
[01:09.37] Flappin' away, but I'm blind like Stevie
[01:11.89] Niggas don't hear me, still tryin' to see me
[01:14.38] Stop bein' greedy, you heard what I said
[01:16.45] Let me go, let me flow, or I'm dead
[01:18.98] Either let me fly or give me death
[01:21.14] Let my soul rest, take my breath
[01:23.52] If I don't fly I'ma die anyway
[01:26.13] I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day
[01:28.59] Either let me fly or give me death
[01:31.08] Let my soul rest, take my breath
[01:33.54] If I don't fly I'ma die anyway
[01:36.07] I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day
[01:38.76] I sold my soul to the Devil, and the price was cheap
[01:41.24] And yo, it's cold on his level, 'cause it's twice as deep
[01:43.70] But you don't hear me, ignorance is bliss and so on
[01:46.57] Sometimes it's better to be thought dumb – shall I go on?
[01:49.11] Yo, on the real, what the deal? It's a mystery
[01:51.57] How is it I can live and make history?
[01:53.43] If you don't see it, then it wasn't meant for you to see
[01:56.58] If you wasn't born with it, it wasn't meant for you to be
[01:58.81] But you can't blame me for not wantin' to be held
[02:01.15] Locked down in a cell where a soul can't dwell
[02:03.72] This is hell, go get the Devil and give me the key
[02:06.02] But it can't be worse than the curse that was given to me
[02:08.57] It's what I live for, you take away that and I'm gone
[02:11.37] There's a difference between doin' wrong and bein' wrong
[02:13.65] And that ain't right, just keep it fair, baby
[02:15.92] Put me in the air and I'll take it there, baby – yes!
[02:18.38] Either let me fly or give me death
[02:20.72] Let my soul rest, take my breath
[02:23.10] If I don't fly I'ma die anyway
[02:25.64] I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day
[02:28.22] Either let me fly or give me death
[02:30.67] Let my soul rest, take my breath
[02:33.10] If I don't fly I'ma die anyway
[02:35.50] I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day
[02:38.22] I'ma flow regardless because I'm an artist until I'm trapped
[02:41.02] I'ma continue to hit the hardest whether I scrap or rap
[02:43.52] Give me dap, but you ain't my friend
[02:45.50] I see it in your eyes, you contemplate my end
[02:47.99] You waitin' for that bend in the road where you were told
[02:50.36] That you would go when you were old and if you died young it was cold
[02:53.46] Sold, not for nearly what it was worth
[02:55.65] Think back 26 years, be like, "What if his birth
[02:58.21] Was a miscarriage and I never existed?"
[03:00.38] Have I given somethin' that if taken away you'd have missed it?
[03:02.82] Didn't know, yet I persisted, it was the call of the wild
[03:05.63] I merely say what's in my heart and you call it a style
[03:08.14] Don't put it in a cage, don't mistreat it
[03:10.34] You say you hunger for knowledge? Here it is, eat it!
[03:12.52] Another song completed is another thought captured
[03:15.25] Let me do my thing, I got it locked with this rap shit
[03:17.79] Either let me fly or give me death
[03:20.23] Let my soul rest, take my breath
[03:22.66] If I don't fly I'ma die anyway
[03:25.25] I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day
[03:27.70] Either let me fly or give me death
[03:30.13] Let my soul rest, take my breath
[03:32.56] If I don't fly I'ma die anyway
[03:35.18] I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day
[03:38.76] Or give me death
[03:41.17] Or take my breath
[03:43.50] I'ma die anyway
[03:45.97] But I'll be gone any day
[03:48.63] Or give me death
[03:51.10] Or take my breath
[03:53.58] I'ma die anyway
[03:56.05] But I'll be gone any day
[03:59.72] Where my niggas?
[04:01.10] Uh, ahh, for my niggas
[04:03.46] Uh, ahh, for my niggas
[04:05.92] Uh, ahh, for my niggas
[04:08.17]
