DMX - Angel lyrics

rate me

What good is it..

for a man to, gain the world..

yet lose his own soul, in the process?

Said you're alright with him

I know you never seen him but don't fight with him

You're gonna make it through the night to the light with him

Uhh, you're alright with him

I said you're alright with him

I'm callin out to you Lord, because I need your help

See once again I'm havin difficulty savin myself

behavin myself, you told me what to do, and I do it

But every and now and then, gets a little harder to go through it

Losin friends, day by day

I'm in so much pain when I'm here Lord, please take me away

I put you here to do a job, and your work ain't done

To live is to suffer, but you're still my son

And there will be a time when you shine as bright as the stars

But there won't be a, his or hers, just ours

Then you'll see what I've been tryin to show you, all these years

Do the right thing; cause after the tears, come the cheers

I will, my Lord, with my heart, and my soul

That's gonna be how I roll, from now until I'm old

Lead and I'll follow, you take away the sorrow

I'ma sleep on what you said and holla back tomorrow

I want you to know Lord, that for what you've given me I'm thankful

Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, I'm grateful

You gave us power in our words, so I think before I speak

And that way when I speak, they know I'm here to teach

Can't tell em nothin wrong, cause I love em too much

I reach a lot of people, and Lord, I'm lovin the touch

But deep inside, I've got somethin that's workin against

everything I know is right, what I know makes sense

That's when you must fight harder, than you've ever fought before

cause what you've got goin on inside you is a war

between good and evil, be careful of those who wanna be you

They smile, but are not really happy when they see you

Be careful of the ones that always wanna get you high

Cause when the time comes, that one'll let you die

Listen to me! I'm here, but I can only help you

if you want me to help, what do you want for yourself?

My Lord, my saviour, don't judge my behaviour

but instead, take what's in my heart and put it in my head

See I guess I really never knew, how proud I made you

My life is yours, my soul I gave you

I don't know if I'll do good enough (he's by your side)

And we both know the hood is rough (right by your side)

Sometimes I don't know what to do (X, dry your eyes)

But I know what I gotta do (it'll be alright)

You keep givin me the word, and I'll put it to song

Talk to me, I'll talk to them, and we can't go wrong

This is the start of somethin strong, and this is just the start of it

Praises to you my Lord, for lettin me be a part of it

I was that kid that, been there, did that

Became ashamed so I hid that

But, ain't no longer with that

Use me as an example - if I can do, then they can too

With the Lord behind us, there ain't nothin that we can't do

He's by your side

Right by your side

X, dry your eyes

cause it'll be alright

Yeah, he's by your side

Right by your side

X, dry your eyes

Cause, it'ssssssssss gonna be alright

Yeah yeah, yes it isssssssssss
