Slippin' Lyrics

Slippin' by DMX


Ha ha ha ha ha ha uhh
See to live is to suffer but to survive
well that's to find meaning in the suffering.

Chorus
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear sh*t up!
(Repeat)

-1-
I been through mad different phases like Mazes
to find my way & now I know that happy days are not far away
If I'm strong enough I'll live long enough to see my kids
doing something more constructive with they time
than bids I know because I been there
now I'm in there (uhh)
sit back & look at what it took for me to get there (uhh)
First came the bullsh*t the drama with my mama
she got on some fly sh*t so I split
and said that I'ma be (whooh)
that seed that doesn't need much to succeed (Uhh)
strapped with mad greed and a heart that doesn't bleed (what)
I'm ready for the world or at least I thought I was
baggin' niggas when I caught a buzz
for thinking about how short I was (c抦on)
Going too fast it wouldn't last but yo I couldn't tell
group homes & institutions, prepare my ass for jail (uh-huh)
They put me in a situation forcin' me to be a man
when I was just learnin' to stand without a helpin' hand
Damn, was it my fault, somethin' I did
to make a father leave his first kid at 7 doin' my first bid? (uhh)
Back on the scene at 14 with a scheme (uhh)
to get more cream than I'd ever seen in a dream (uhh)
and by all means I will be living high off the hog (what)
and I never gave a f**k about much but my dog (what)
That's the only muthaf**ka I had offered my last
Just another little nigga headed nowhere fast

Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear sh*t up!

-2-
That ain't the half (uh)
sh*t get's worse as I get older (uh-huh)
actions become bolder heart got colder (uh-huh)
chip on my shoulder that I dared a nigga to touch
didn't need a click cause I scared a nigga that much (c抦on)
One deep with a b**ch, startin sh*t for kicks
catchin' vicks throwin' bricks (uh)
gettin by bein' slick (uh)
used to get high just to get by (what)
used to have to puff my L
in the morning before I could fly (what)
I ate something a couple of forties made me hate somethin' (uh-huh)
I did some coke now I'm ready to take something (uhh)
3 years later showing signs of stress
didn't keep my hair cut or give a f**k how I dressed (ohhh)
I'm possessed by the darker side livin' the cruddy life
sh*t like this kept a nigga with a bloody knife (c抦on)
wanna make records but I'm f**kin it up (why)
I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up

Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear sh*t up!

-3-
Wasn't long before I hit rock bottom (uh)
Niggas talking sh*t like damn look how that rock got him (uh)
Open like a window no more Indo look at a video (uh)
sayin' to myself that could've been yo ass on the TV
believe me it could be done somethin's got to give
it's got to change cause now I've got a son (yes)
I've got to do the right thing for shorty
and that means no more getting high drinking forties (c抦on)
So I get back lookin' type slick again (uh)
Fake niggas jump back on my dick again (uh-huh)
Nothin' but love for those that know how it feel
& much respect to all my niggas that kept it real
Kept a nigga strong (uh)
kept a nigga from doin' wrong (uh)
niggas know who they is and this is yo f**kin song (uh)
and to my boo who stuck with a nigga through
all the bullsh*t you'll get yours because it's due (c抦on c抦on)

Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear sh*t up!

See, this is that sh*t
This is that sh*t
That all real niggas can relate to
This is from the heart baby, don't get it twisted
Ahh X BABY!!!!!
