DMX - Where I Wanna Be Lyrics
[Chorus: unknown singer {w/ DMX ad libs}]In the darkest days no rain that fallsFrees me from the life that callsAnd all the things I need to find an answer forBut in the end I know I'll seethe truth in all that I believeI do what I gotta doCause I know that this, is where I wanna be[DMX]Got a lot to say but don't know who to talk toStep with a purpose, but don't know where to walk toIf anything I ever said, ever meant somethinI know because the person I said it to, told me it meant somethinMy life has a meanin, my life has a purposeNo matter how dark it gets, I knew that it was worth it (what!)***** what it looked like on the surface (c'mon!)Seen it all but, not all heard us, like sometimes I was murderous (damn)Can't expect everybody to get what you're doinCan't expect them all to be with what you're doinDon't give a ***** if a muh'*****er hate me (nope!)What you think it is ain't me, but what's good with you lately?HATE when I sense this shitTryin to make sense of this shit, knowin that it's sensitive shitNiggaz so dumb, you don't even censor shitYou said this shit, so I KNOW you meant the shit you senseless *****![Chorus][Big Stan]Born with an addiction to fast livin, with high stakesI race down the highway of life with no brakesMake no apologies for the risks that I takeAnd mannin up to the repercussions that I faceNo silver spoon, I was raised in a crowded roomRarely seen the sun, faced a lot of gloomI hit the streets too soon before 21Been on the clock since, and on it 'til I'm doneI'm never clockin out, but always lockin inI had a warm heart, lost a lot of friendsAnd losin them made me feel like I was drowninSo please forgive the chill I know you feel when you around meDreamed of livin right, big family, the picket fenceGrandkids I would get to share my story withBut here I am, livin bio as I stand groundJust hope it doesn't end with shots fired, "Man down!"[Chorus][DMX]If I could bottle the inspiration, I'd be a billionaireStraight *****in villain yeah, X baby still in hereI feel the air, I can smell the death in itY'all be left in it so ***** it nigga, step wit it!The walk is easy, the journey ain't worth nothinThat's why every day a nigga wanna hurt somethinBUT, make progress, more or lessCause if I can avoid the stress I can avoid the rest (c'mon!)A nigga STAY dealin with the bullshit daily (damn!)Niggaz is worse than the *****es, y'all hear meStraight up, I'm FED UP! (WHAT!)Have you sprayed up and wet up (WHAT!)Now you laid up and won't get upNOW look what the ***** you done got yourself intoAll I did was open the curtains and you jumped out the windowThat's what suckers do, just a punk mother*****er youGot a nigga like "Mother*****er OOH!!"[Chorus - 2X][Outro: DMX]This is all I know [repeat to the end]
