Believe me when

I sayBefore light there was dark

Where you going where you going

Where you going where you going

Where you going

And if I don't know where

I'm coming from

Where would

I go

If I don't know where

I'm coming from

Where would

I go

If I don't know where

I'm coming from

Where would

I go

If I don't know where

I'm coming from

Where would

I go

Places that

I've have been things that

I have seen

What you call a nightmare are what

I have is 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 journey's been a rough one

I'm not sure when it began

But the way it's looking

I kind of know when it's gonna end

What say love

Hold me down baby it's gonna be a rough ride

N***as give us plenty of room 'cause

I guess enough died

Let me travel 'cause my intentions are to travel in peace

Don't f**k 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 ain't my dog you gonna be like '

Oh it's him again'

N***as 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 onIf

I don't know where

I'm coming from

Where would

I go

If I don't know where

I'm coming from

Where would

I go

If I don't know where

I'm coming from

Where would

I go

If I don't know where

I'm coming from

Where would

I go

I will spend mad time in one spot plotting my next move

Trying to figure out what is it that

X do what

X doSome questions go unanswered that's what

I'm afraid of

Sometimes

I can't show but

I know what

I'm made of

They made love or should

I say they made lust

Bound there didn't 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 ground

Escaped the misery didn't think about the crime

Lost all track of time was in another world

Everybody knew

Earl but there was another

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

Come onIf

I don't know where

I'm coming from

Where would

I go

If I don't know where

I'm coming from

Where would

I go

If I don't know where

I'm coming from

Where would

I go

I don't know where

I'm coming from

Where would

I go

I feel the ghost from within coming back to haunt me

Stay love in my peoples even though they don't want me

When I was bad

I was forgotten like

I was dead and rotten

Should've been getting love but instead was plotting

S**t wasn't right and it was all blamed on me

Didn't know that

I was special till this rap s**t came to be

Gave me a way out showed me it was better to teach

Than bust n***as 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 'em

And that's because

I thought

I ought to kill 'em

Little did

I know death wasn't right

Didn't always show every breath was a life

It was to be captured in suspended animation

To be felt by all understood by every nation

What's the sense of hating when

I can show love

What's the sense of faking when

I can show blood

Now what's the moral to this story

Come onIf

I don't know where

I'm coming from

Where would

I go

If I don't know where

I'm coming from

Where would

I go

If I don't know where

I'm coming from

Where would

I go

If I don't know where

I'm coming from

Where would

I go

Yonkers is where we grew

Trials we got through

On top is where we staying

Everyday

On Hot '97 ya hear

DMX all through the year
