DMX - The Convo Lyrics
You tell me that theres love here.But to me its blatant.Nothin but all the blood here.Im dealin with satan.Plus with all the hatinIts hard to keep peace. (uh huh)Thou shall not steal,But I will to eat.I tried doin good, butGoods not too good for me.Misunderstood,Why you chose the hood for me.Mean Im aiight,I just had to work hard at it.Went to granma for answers,She told me that God had it.So now here I am,Confused and full of questions.Am I born to lose,Or is this just a lesson.And who its goin chooseWhen it gets turned around.And will it beLayin in my own bloodAnd on the ground.My child,Ive watched you grow upAnd Ive been there. (uh huh)Even at those timesYou least suspected itI was there.And look at what Ive given youA talent to rhyme.I may not come when you call,But Im always on time.Somebodys knockin.Should I let em in.Lord were just startin,But where will it end.Somebodys knockin.Should I let em in.Lord were just startin,But where will it end.But when the funds are lowThe gunsll blow.Lookin for that one that owe,Make em run that dough.No!Put down the gunsAnd write a new rhyme.Youll get it all in due time.Youll do fine.Just have faithCuz you mine. (uh huh)And when you shineIts goin be a sight to behold.So dont fight to be old,Or lose sight when its cold.See that light down the road,Its goin guide you thereTwo sets of footsteps,I was right beside you there.But what about them times iOnly saw one.Those were the times that I wasUnder the gun,It was then I carried you my son.Led you to safety.It just wasnt your time to face me. (uh huh)Ayo a few of them times I thought you would erase me.But all you did was embrace me.Prepared me for the worst.Offered me eternal light,And scared me with the hearse.And the curseTurned to grace.When the hurtTurned to faith.No more runnin, (uh huh)And slidin in the dirtCuz Im safe.Somebodys knockin.Should I let em in.Lord were just startin,But where will it end.Somebodys knockin.Should I let em in.So if Im yo manIm in yo hand.Wus yo plan.Never had a friendCuz you couldnt trust your man.Learned to stand before I crawled.Things were twisted!And if you showed me anything at allThen I missed it.Looked the wrong way. (uh huh)Ive done some wrong things. (true)Kept a bad attitude,But thats what wrong brings.And now you mean to tell me thatAfter all this time,It was you that kept the dog from goin out of his mind.It was you that breathed lifeInto my lungs when I was born.And it was you that let me knowWhat was right,From what was wrong.And it was you that let me doWhat I knew what could be done.And it was you that gave me a good wifeAnd a beautiful son.And its been you speakin to meInside my mind.And its been you who has forgivenTime after time.It was you who opened my eyesSo I could see.And it was you who shined yoLight on me.
