[Hook] In the darkest days, the rain that falls Hear me from the life that calls And all the things I need to find an answer for But in the end I know I'll see The truth in all that I believe I do what I gotta do Cause I know that this, is where I wanna be [Verse 1: DMX] Got a lot to say, but don't know who to talk to Step with a purpose, but don't know where to walk to Anything I ever said, ever meant something? I know, because the person I said it to, told me it meant something My life has a meaning,my life has a purpose No matter how dark it gets, I knew that it was worth it f** what it looked like on the surface Seen it all ,but not all heard us, like sometimes i was worthless Can't expect everybody to get what you doing Can't expect them all to be with what you doing Don't give a f** if a motherf**er hating What you think it is with me ,but whats good with you lately I hate when i sense this sh** Trying to make sense of this sh** knowing that its sensitive sh** n***as so dumb, that they don't even sense the sh** You said the sh**, so I know you meant the sh** you said [Hook] [Verse 2: Big Stan] Born with addiction with fast living with high stakes I race down a highway of life with no breaks Make no apologies for the risks that I take And manning up to the repercussions that I face No silver spoon, I was raised in a crowded room Rarely seen the sun, faced a lot of gloom I hit the streets too soon before 21 Working on the clock since and on it until I'm done I'm never clocking out, but always locking in I had a warm heart, lost a lot of friends And losing them make me feel like I was drowning So please forgive the chill when you around me Dreamed of living right, big family, the picket fence Grandkids I will get to share my story with But here I am, living vile as I stand my ground Just hope it doesn't end, with shots fired, man down [Hook] [Verse 3: DMX] If i could bottle the inspiration Id be a billionaire,straight f**in villian yeah X baby you still in there I feel the air, i can smell the d**h in it Yall be leftin? it so f** n***a step with it The walk is easy, the journey ain't worth nothing That's why every day a n***a wanna hurt something But, I made progress, more or less If I can avoid the stress, I can avoid the rest A n***a stay dealing with the bullsh** daily n***as is worse than the b**hes, y'all hear me? Straight up and fed up(what!) I'll have you sprayed up and wet up(what!) Now you laid up and won't get up Now look at what the f** you got yourself into All i did was open the curtains and you jumped out the window That's what s**ers do You just a punk motherf**er you Got a n***a like motherf**er OOH!
