Coming from

Dmx

Believe me, when I say
Before light, there was dark

[mary j. blige]
Where you going, where you going?
Where you going, where you going?
Where you going?
If I dont know where Im coming from
Where would I go?
If I dont know where Im coming from
Where would I go?
If I dont know where Im coming from
Where would I go?
If I dont know where Im coming from
Where would I go?

Places that Ive have been, things that I have seen
What you call a nightmare, are what I have as dreams
Bad as that may seem, I know is only going to get worse
Love, a slug, which one am I gonna get first?
My journeys been a rough one, Im not sure when it begins
But the way its looking, I kind of know when its gonna end
Hold me down baby, its gonna be a rough ride
Niggas give us plenty of room, cause I guess enough died
Let me travel, cause my intentions are to travel in peace
Fuck around I lay you down, you hit the gravel and cease
I could be a beast, or I could be a gentleman
But if you aint my dog, you gonna be like oh, its him again
Niggas will never win, this whole rap game is mine
Hot as you ever been, I was that in eighty nine
Seek and you shall find, look within and you will know
Where you coming from, and where you gotta go
Come on!

I will spend mad time in one spot, plotting my next move
Trying to figure out what is it, that x do what x do
Some questions go unanswered, thats what Im afraid of
Sometimes I cant show, but I know what Im made of
They made love, or should I say they made lust
Bound, there didnt have to be love there, but they made us
I got quite a few sisters, I was the only boy
But being with my dog, was my only joy
Like a kid with a new toy, I forgot about the ?
Escaped the misery, didnt think about the crime
Lost all track of time, was in another world
Everybody knew earl, but there was another earl
Like the side of the dark, riding the park but wouldnt want to
When they jump me, became a good runner
One by one they all went under, so I had the last laugh
They all thought it all was a joke, but I had the last laugh

Ha ha ha ha ha ha

Come on!

If I dont know where Im coming from
Where would I go?
-but I know where Im going
If I dont know where Im coming from
Where would I go?
-do you know, do you know

I feel the ghost from within, coming back to haunt me
Stay love in my peoples, even though they dont want me
When I was bad, I was forgotten, like I was dead and rotten
Shouldve been getting love, but instead was plotting
Shit wasnt right, and it was all blamed on me
Didnt know that I was special till this rap shit came to be
Gave me a way out, showed me it was better to teach
Than bust niggas with the fo-fo, leave them dead in the streets
Over beef that was worth less, than the cost of the slugs
That I bought to kill them
And thats because I thought I ought to kill them
Little did I know, death wasnt right
Didnt always show every breath was a life
It was to be captured in suspended animation
To be felt by all, understood by every nation
Whats the sense of hating, when I can show love
Whats the sense of faking, when I can show blood

[mary j. blige]
Now whats the moral to this story?

[dmx]
Come on!

If I dont know where Im coming from
Where would I go?
If I dont know where Im coming from
Where would I go?
-if I dont know, I dont know
If I dont know where Im coming from
Where would I go?
-but I know where Im coming from
If I dont know where Im coming from
Where would I go?
-do you know where youre coming from?
