Slippin' Again - DMX
It's what it is baby
It's straight biz baby
We ain't kids baby
We get down like that
It's what it is baby
It's straight biz baby
We ain't kids baby
We get down like that
Slippin' and fallin'
This time it got a n_gga callin'
Up to the Lord where I'm crawlin'
On my knees 'cause I'm tired of slippin' and fallin'
Slippin' and fallin'
This time it got a n_gga callin'
Up to the Lord where I'm crawlin'
On my knees 'cause I'm tired of slippin' and fallin'
(Check it), more money more problems
I thought more money would solve 'em
I spent more money in Harlem
Than Frank Lucas did before the boys got 'em
Now the sh_t done changed
How I'm feelin'? the sh_t look strange
I realize that sh_t ain't the same
'Cause at the end of the day this sh_t ain't a game
N_gga goin' through it but I slipped and fell
Ran to the hood, took a trip to Hell
Deal when I should, that's why all my sh_t sell
Always know I could, so I did well
Slippin' and fallin'
This time it got a n_gga callin'
Up to the Lord where I'm crawlin'
On my knees 'cause I'm tired of slippin' and fallin'
Slippin' and fallin'
This time it got a n_gga callin'
Up to the Lord where I'm crawlin'
On my knees 'cause I'm tired of slippin' and fallin'
If y'all only knew
What my life was like, and what I'm goin' through
Maybe you'd think before you talk (okay?!)
You better crawl before you walk (come on!)
You think havin' money is the answer?
Money ain't nothin' but another form of cancer
All you could do is watch me die
You don't wanna watch me cry, so watch me fly!
What you gon' do is watch me fly
Do my thing on that big stage in the sky
Lord, please, hold me down
'Cause now everybody wanna know me now
Slippin' and fallin'
This time it got a n_gga callin'
Up to the Lord where I'm crawlin'
On my knees 'cause I'm tired of slippin' and fallin'
Slippin' and fallin'
This time it got a n_gga callin'
Up to the Lord where I'm crawlin'
On my knees 'cause I'm tired of slippin' and fallin'
Please help me, which way do I go?
Life's a book, which page do I show?
'Cause I know, can't show 'em all
Even though I slipped and fell I won't fall
Get it? Okay, you don't
Some of y'all will but most of y'all won't
I'mma keep livin' life bein' the man
That God made me 'cause I know only He can save me
Slippin' and fallin'
This time it got a n_gga callin'
Up to the Lord where I'm crawlin'
On my knees 'cause I'm tired of slippin' and fallin'
Slippin' and fallin'
This time it got a n_gga callin'
Up to the Lord where I'm crawlin'
On my knees 'cause I'm tired of slippin' and fallin'
I wish, I wish, ah I wish you knew!
I wish you f_cking knew!
You love me
I don't wanna fall
I won't fall
I don't wanna fall
Please help me
I don't wanna fall
Ahh-ahh
