[00:00.80] Slippin'
[00:01.60] DMX
[00:02.40]
[00:03.20]
[00:04.00]
[00:04.50] Ha ha ha ha ha ha uhh
[00:15.00] See to live is to suffer but to survive
[00:23.30] well that's to find meaning in the suffering.
[00:25.00] Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
[00:27.00] Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
[00:30.00] Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up
[00:33.00] Get me back on my feet so I can tear *****t !
[00:35.00] Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
[00:38.00] Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
[00:41.00] Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up
[00:44.00] Get me back on my feet so I can tear *****t !
[00:45.00]
[00:46.00] I been through mad different phases like Masons
[00:48.00] to find my way & now I know that happy days are not far away
[00:52.00] If I'm strong enough I'll live long enough to see my kids
[00:55.00] doing something more constructive with they time than bids
[00:58.00] I know because I been there
[01:00.00] now I'm in there sit back & look at what it took for me to get there
[01:03.00] First came the "Howll!!" the drama with my mama
[01:05.00] she got on some fly *****t "What!" til I split
[01:07.00] and said that I'ma be that seed
[01:08.50] that doesn't need much to succeed
[01:10.00] strapped with mad greed and a heart that doesn't bleed
[01:13.00] I'm ready for the world or at least I thought I was
[01:16.00] baggin' "Uhh!" when I caught a buzz for thinking about how short I was
[01:19.00] Going too fast it wouldn't last but yo I couldn't tell
[01:21.00] group homes & institutions, prepare my ass for jail
[01:24.00] They put me in a situation forcin' me to be a man
[01:27.00] when I was just learnin' to stand without a helpin' hand
[01:29.00] Damn, was it my fault, somethin' I did
[01:32.00] to make a father leave his first kid at 7 doin' my first bid?
[01:35.00] Back on the scene at 14 with a scheme
[01:37.00] to get more cream than I'd ever seen in a dream
[01:40.00] and by all means I will be living high off the hog
[01:43.00] and I never gave a "What!!" about much but my dog
[01:45.00] That's my only "Howll!" I had offered my last
[01:48.00] Just another little "Come on!!" headed nowhere fast
[01:51.00] Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
[01:54.00] Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
[01:57.00] Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up
[02:00.00] Get me back on my feet so I can tear *****t !
[02:02.00] Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
[02:05.00] Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
[02:08.00] Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up
[02:11.00] Get me back on my feet so I can tear *****t !
[02:11.50]
[02:12.00] That ain't the half "Arf!" get's worse as I get older
[02:15.00] actions become bolder heart got colder
[02:18.00] chip on my shoulder that I dared a "Uhh!" to touch
[02:20.00] didn't need a click cause I scared a "Uh huh" that much
[02:23.00] One deep went to for kicks
[02:26.00] catchin' vicks throwin' bricks gettin by bein' slick
[02:29.00] used to get high to get by used to have to "Howl!!"
[02:32.00] in the morning before I get fly
[02:34.00] I ate something a couple of forties made me hate somethin'
[02:36.30] I did some "Arf" now I'm ready to take some
[02:39.50] 3 years later showing signs of stress
[02:42.00] didn't keep my hair cut or give a "Come on!" how I dressed
[02:45.00] I'm possessed by the darker side livin' the cruddy life
[02:48.00] "What!" like this kept a ***** with a bloody knife
[02:50.00] wanna make records but I'm "howl!" up
[02:52.00] I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
[02:55.00] Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
[02:58.00] Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
[03:01.00] Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up
[03:04.00] Get me back on my feet so I can tear *****t !
[03:06.00] Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
[03:09.00] Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up

[03:15.00] Get me back on my feet so I can tear *****t !
[03:16.50]
[03:18.00] Wasn't long before I hit rock bottom
[03:20.00] "howl!" was like damn look how that "how that" got him
[03:23.00] Open like a window no more Indo look at a video
[03:26.00] sayin' to myself that could've been yo on the TV
[03:29.00] believe me it could be done somethin's got to give
[03:31.50] it's got to change cause I've got a son
[03:34.00] I've got to do the right thing for shorty
[03:36.00] and that means no more getting high drinking forties
[03:39.00] So I get back lookin' type slick again
[03:41.00] Fake "What!" jump back on my "Uhh uh huh!" again
[03:44.50] Nothin' but love for those that know how it feel
[03:47.00] Then much respect to all my "Come on!!" that kept it real
