DMX Feat. Mary J. Blige - Coming From lyrics

rate me

Believe me, when I say<br />

Before light, there was dark<br />

<br />

Where you going? Where you going?<br />

Where you going? Where you going? Where you going?<br />

If I don't know where I'm coming from, where would I go?<br />

If I don't know where I'm coming from, where would I go?<br />

If I don't know where I'm coming from, where would I go?<br />

If I don't know where I'm coming from, where would I go?<br />

<br />

Places that I've have been, things that I have seen<br />

What you call a nightmare? Or what I have is dreams?<br />

Bad as that may seem, I know is only going to get worse<br />

Love, a slug, which one am I gonna get first?<br />

My journey's been a rough one, I'm not sure when they begin<br />

But the way it's looking, I kind of know when it's gonna end<br />

Hold me down baby, it's gonna be a rough ride<br />

Niggas give us plenty of room, 'cause I guess enough died<br />

Let me travel, 'cause my intentions are to travel in peace<br />

An' fuck around, I lay you down, you hit the gravel and cease<br />

I could be a beast, or I could be a gentleman<br />

But if you ain't my dog, you gonna be like "Oh! It's him again"<br />

Niggas will never win, this whole rap game is mine<br />

Hot as you ever been, I was that in eighty-nine<br />

Seek and you shall find, look within and you will know<br />

Where you coming from, and where you gotta go, c'mon<br />

<br />

If I don't know where I'm coming from, where would I go?<br />

If I don't know where I'm coming from, where would I go?<br />

If I don't know where I'm coming from, where would I go?<br />

If I don't know where I'm coming from, where would I go?<br />

<br />

I will spend mad time in one spot, plotting my next move<br />

Trying to figure out, what is it that X do? What X do?<br />

Some questions go unanswered, that's what I'm afraid of<br />

Sometimes I can't show, but I know what I'm made of<br />

They made love, or should I say they made lust<br />

Bound, there didn't have to be love there, but they made us<br />

I got quite a few sisters, I was the only boy<br />

But being with my dog, was my only joy like a kid with a new toy<br />

I forgot about the crowd escaped the misery<br />

Didn't think about the crime lost all track of time was in another world<br />

Everybody knew Earl, but there was another Earl<br />

Like the side of the dark, riding the park but wouldn't wanna<br />

Say the father when they jump me became a good runner<br />

One by one they all went under, so I had the last laugh<br />

They all thought it all was a joke, but I had the last laugh<br />

<br />

If I don't know where I'm coming from, where would I go?<br />

If I don't know where I'm coming from, where would I go?<br />

If I don't know where I'm coming from, where would I go?<br />

If I don't know where I'm coming from, where would I go?<br />

<br />

I feel the ghost from within', coming back to haunt me<br />

Stay love in my peoples, even though they don't want me<br />

When I was bad, I was forgotten like I was dead and rotten<br />

Should've been getting love, but instead was plotting<br />

Shit wasn't right, and it was all blamed on me<br />

Didn't know that, I was special till this rap shit came to be<br />

Gave me a way out, showed me it was better to teach<br />

Than bust niggas with the fo fo, leave them dead in the streets<br />

Over beef that was worth less, than the cost of the slugs<br />

That I bought to kill them<br />

And that's because I thought, I ought to kill'em<br />

Little did I know, death wasn't right<br />

Didn't always show, every breath was a life<br />

It was to be captured in suspended animation<br />

To be felt by all, understood by every nation<br />

What's the sense of hating, when I can show love?<br />

What's the sense of faking, when I can show blood?<br />

<br />

Now what's the moral to this story?<br />

<br />

If I don't know where I'm coming from, where would I go?<br />

If I don't know where I'm coming from, where would I go?<br />

If I don't know where I'm coming from, where would I go?<br />

If I don't know where I'm coming from, where would I go?<br />

<br />

Yonkers is where we grew, trials we got through<br />

On top is where we staying, till the end as long as we pray<br />

Dj's whiz, he plays same tracks as every day<br />

On hot ninety-seven ya hear<br />

DMX all through the year
