"DMX" lyrics

Shit gotta be right
I want them to hear that in a nigga voice type shit
And when they hear me I want them to feel me
I just want them to feel me, that's it, yea

I had to swallow my pride and tell my cousin I love him
Even though he crossed me and I no longer trust him
Even though I be mad, I feel like fuck it
It will hurt me more than him to hold these grudges
Niggas already should know I know how to play it
Cause nigga, all my opps either scared or dead
My lil nigga Tony just got out the feds
Always looking like something going on in his head
It's just something about that box turn a nigga to zombies
Still riding with that Glock cocked, chasing this money
When I look at my daughter, I see that look in her eyes
She ain't sweet, she street, Lord bless my seed
Have mercy on her, Lord protect my seed
Please order her steps if she anything like me
Cause sometimes I get lost
I get lost in the pain, I get lost in the rain, I get lost in the game
I get lost trying to change things I can't change
I get lost trying to save people I can't save
I get lost trying to right every wrong I made
I get lost being unappreciated and hated
I be smoking weed, poppin' all these pills on the daily
Everything I'm dealing with, this is how I escape it
Tell me how I'm supposed to live when all my niggas is dying
When it's death on every corner, how I'm post to survive
Nigga told me when you doing all that spinning and shit
You gotta spare all the kids and the women and shit
But the women out here thuggin', interfering with shit
And the kids the ones doing all the killing and shit
But how the fuck our kids supposed to make the best decisions
When our neighborhood normalize death and prison
Lord protect our children, the world cold and dangerous
Is we living in the book of revelations?

Somebody pray for me
(Somebody pray for me)
I need you to pray for me
(I need you to pray for me)
Somebody pray for me
Shit gets hard in these streets if you know what I mean
(I need you to pray for me)
Pray for me
Oh oh oh
I can't see them coming down my eyes so I gotta make this song cry
Oh oh oh
I can't see them coming down my eyes so I gotta make this song cry
Somebody pray for me
I need you to pray for me
Just listen to this song cry

I always hear these prison stories how niggas walk yard
Being hard amongst the killers and Gs
How niggas hit the cell blocks, still let they nuts drop
And hold shit down how they did on the streets
But imagine how it feel when dog call home
And that nigga break down and just cry on the phone
Only thing you can do is cry too and pray
Cause I never been to prison, what the fuck I'm going to say?
And his son growing up, he just turned thirteen
Seen him on Instagram with a Glock nineteen
Going down the same road that his daddy and them did
He don't know it's in his blood, that he not built for the pen
I'm drinking all this Henny, trying to drown the noise
Even though I came far from Honda Accords
All the money in the world can't bring my nigga back here
Nobody told me that killers can get killed
I thought we was invincible
See the murder in our eyes when we look at you
Big stepper, grave digger
Get ran down on, get your face hit up
Thought wouldn't nobody play with us
I would have been rich if I can cash reality checks
I done did so many things that I'll prolly regret
I don't seen so many things I wish that I can forget
Snotty nose jit fresh out of the Jets

Somebody pray for me
(Somebody pray for me)
I need you to pray for me
(I need you to pray for me)
Somebody pray for me
Shit gets hard in these streets if you know what I mean
(I need you to pray for me)
Pray for me
Oh oh oh
I can't see them coming down my eyes so I gotta make this song cry
Oh oh oh
I can't see them coming down my eyes so I gotta make this song cry
Somebody pray for me
I need you to pray for me
Just listen to this song cry
