DMX - Coming From (feat. Mary J. Blige) Lyrics
Featuring Mary J. Blige] [DMX] Believe me when I say Before light there was dark [Mary J. Blige] Where you going where you going? Where you going where you going? Where you going? If I don't know where I'm coming from Where would I go? If I don't know where I'm coming from Where would I go? If I don't know where I'm coming from Where would I go? If I don't know where I'm coming from Where would I go? [DMX] Places that I've have been, things that I have seen What you call a nightmare, are what I have as dreams Bad as that may seem, I know is only going to get worse Love, a slug, which one am I gonna get first? My journey's been a rough one, I'm not sure when it begins But the way it's looking, I kind of know when it's gonna end Hold me down baby, it's gonna be a rough ride Niggas give us plenty of room, cause I guess enough died Let me travel, cause my intentions are to travel in peace ***** around I lay you down, you hit the gravel and cease I could be a beast, or I could be a gentleman But if you ain't my dog, you gonna be like 'Oh, it's him again' Niggas will never win, this whole rap game is mine Hot as you ever been, I was that in eighty nine Seek and you shall find, look within and you will know Where you coming from, and where you gotta go Come on! [Mary J. Blige] If I don't know where I'm coming from Where would I go? If I don't know where I'm coming from Where would I go? -Got to keep it real with me If I don't know where I'm coming from Where would I go? -So the hell with you If I don't know where I'm coming from Where would I go? -I think I'm going to the top Me and DMX [DMX] I will spend mad time in one spot, plotting my next move Trying to figure out what is it, that X do what X do Some questions go unanswered, that's what I'm afraid of Sometimes I can't show, but I know what I'm made of They made love, or should I say they made lust Bound, there didn't have to be love there, but they made us I got quite a few sisters, I was the only boy But being with my dog, was my only joy Like a kid with a new toy, I forgot about the ? Escaped the misery, didn't think about the crime Lost all track of time, was in another world Everybody knew Earl, but there was another Earl Like the side of the dark, riding the park but wouldn't want to when they jump me, became a good runner One by one they all went under, so I had the last laugh They all thought it all was a joke, but I had the last laugh [Mary J. Blige] Ha ha ha ha ha ha [DMX] Come on! [Mary J. Blige] If I don't know where I'm coming from Where would I go? -If I don't know, I don't know If I don't know where I'm coming from Where would I go? -But I know where I'm going If I don't know where I'm coming from Where would I go? -But I know where I'm going If I don't know where I'm coming from Where would I go? -Do you know, do you know [DMX] I feel the ghost from within, coming back to haunt me Stay love in my peoples, even though they don't want me When I was bad, I was forgotten, like I was dead and rotten Should've been getting love, but instead was plotting Shit wasn't right, and it was all blamed on me Didn't know that I was special till this rap shit came to be Gave me a way out, showed me it was better to teach Than bust niggas with the fo-fo, leave them dead in the streets Over beef that was worth less, than the cost of the slugs That I bought to kill them And that's because I thought I ought to kill them Little did I know, death wasn't right Didn't always show every breath was a life It was to be captured in suspended animation To be felt by all, understood by every nation What's the sense of hating, when I can show love What's the sense of faking, when I can show blood [Mary J. Blige] Now what's the moral to this story? [DMX] Come on! [Mary J. Blige] If I don't know where I'm coming from Where would I go? If I don't know where I'm coming from Where would I go? -If I don't know, I don't know If I don't know where I'm coming from Where would I go? -But I know where I'm coming from If I don't know where I'm coming from Where would I go? -Do you know where you're coming from? Yonkers is where we grew Trials we got through On top is where we staying Till the end, as long as we'll pray On Hot97 ya hear DMX all through the year
