19-DMX Slippin Lyrics

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 s___ up!
[Repeat]

[1]
I been through mad different phases like Masons
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 sit back & look
At what it took for me to get there
First came the bullshit the drama with my mama
She got on the fly s___ until i split
And said that I'ma be that seed
That doesn't need much to succeed
Strapped with mad greed and a heart that doesn't bleed
I'm ready for the world or at least I thought I was
Baggin' n____s when I caught a buzz
For thinking about how short I was
Going too fast it wouldn't last but yo I couldn't tell
Group homes & institutions, prepare my a__ for jail
They put me in a situation forcin' me to be a man
When I was just learnin' to stand without a helpin' hand
d___, was it my fault, somethin' I did
To make a father leave his first kid at 7 doin' my first bid?
Back on the scene at 14 with a scheme
To get more cream than I'd ever seen in a dream
And by all means I will be living high off the hog
And I never gave a f___ about much but my dog
That's my only m_________a I had offered my last
Just another little n____ headed nowhere fast

[Chorus]

[2]
That ain't the half s___ get's worse as I get older
Actions become bolder heart got colder
Chip on my shoulder that I dared a n____ to touch
Didn't need a click cause I scared a n____ that much
One deep went to for kicks
Catchin' vicks throwin' bricks gettin by bein' slick
Used to get high just to get by used to have to puff my L
In the morning before I get fly
I ate something a couple of forties made me hate somethin'
I did some c__e now I'm ready to take something
3 years later showing signs of stress
Didn't keep my hair cut or give a f___ how I dressed
I'm possessed by the darker side livin' the cruddy life
s___ like this kept a n____ with a b_____ knife
Wanna make records but I'm f___ing it up
I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up

[Chorus]

[3]
Wasn't long before I hit rock bottom
n____s talking s___ like d___ look how that rock got him
Open like a window no more Indo look at a video
Sayin' to myself that could've been yo on the TV
Believe me it could be done somethin's got to give
It's got to change cause I've got a son
I've got to do the right thing for shorty
And that means no more getting high drinking forties
So I get back lookin' type slick again
Fake n____s jump back on my d___ again
Nothin' but love for those that know how it feel
& much respect to all my n____s that kept it real
Kept a n____ strong kept a n____ from doin wrong
n____s know who they is and this is yo f___in' song
And to my boo who stuck with a n____ through
All the bullshit you'll get yours because it's due

[Chorus]

Can't get up...I gots to get up
This is from the heart baby, don't get it twisted
Ahh X RATED!!!!!
