DMX - Ready To Meet Him Lyrics
[talking]Please give me the strength I need to live...Bear with meAmenWe each walk the path, that weve chosen[chorus]Im ready to meet him,Were Im living aint rightBlack hate whiteWhite hate blackIts right backTo the same fightThey got us suspecting a warBut the real war is to follow the law of the lordLord, you left me strandedAnd I dont know whyTold me to live my life,Now Im ready to dieReady to flyI cry, but I shed no tearsYou told me you would dead those fears, its been yearsSnakes still coming at meJust missingSometimes I think all you doing me is just listenI thought that I was specialThats what you told meHold meStop acting like you dont know meWhatd I do so bad that it sent you away from meNot only sent you away, but made you stay away from me(my child Im here, as Ive always been, it was you who went away,And now are back again, what did I say? )Follow your word, and be true(what did you do? )Wellwhat I wanted to do...(what have you seen? )Darkness and hell at a glance(what do you want? )All I want is another chanceChorus(just because you went away, my doors are not locked, wanna come back home,All you gotta do is knock)Ya see, I left home a boy, I returned as a manFull grown, and Im still not able to stand(I gave you a hand)Well...but I was looking the wrong wayFigured out the plan, then I started to prayAnd that prayer, took me from here to over thereBack to over here,Now they got me like where?Do I belong?Do I fit in?Things on my mind, where do I begin?Its easier to sin, but it hurts my heartIm really tryin to win, so where do we start?(thou shall not steal)But, what if he stole from me?(thou shall not kill)But what if hes tryin to kill me?(thou shall not, take my, name in vain, no matter how hard it rains,Withstand the pain)ChorusOur father, who art in heavenIm not ashamed to ask for guidance, at 27No longer afraid to knock on your doorNot scared anymore to lose my life in the warAfter what I just saw, Im ridin with the lordCause I really cant afford to lose my head by the swordAnd now that Ive seen, what I need to seePlease take me, where I need to be(what have you learned? )Its better to tell the truth than to lie(what have you learned? )To love my life until I die(what have you learned? )Violence isnt always the key(what have you learned? )You cant always believe what you see(what have you learned? )Its better to forgive and forget(what have you learned? )Give as you expect to get(what have you learned? )That I cant go on without you(what have you learned? )I musta been a fool to ever doubt youChorusIm ready to meet him
