Lyrics

[Dmx talking]
Ask me if I cry
I'll tell you why I can

[Chorus – 2x]
I'mma go hard whether i'm
Right or wrong
Till i'm dead and gone, it's on
Whatch'all really want
Bring it on
I'mma let life be my song

[Dmx]
How I live is simple, walk through the streets
Talk through the beats, new york i'mma eat
I ain't never had a problem with survivin'
No problems with getting' down bustin' my gun or ruff ridin'
Cats talk slick, but I talk slicker
My shit's for real, 'cause i'm that nigga
The reason that you hurtin' is you gotta take ya problems
Straight to the lord, knowin' only he can solve 'em
See what I see, but look through my eyes
The devil is a liar, the truth never lies
We all got issues, shit that we go through
Shit that we've been through, shit that we won't do
The pain that we bring up ourselves for no reason is the worst
That's why I say i'm blessed with the curse
The lord gave it all to me, but in the process I lost my soul
Damn, devil got a hold
In my mind i'm like a little boy lost and cryin'
Like a healthy nigga that the devil's forced into dyin'
Lord knows i'm tryin', but at the same time he hit a nigga with the weight of the world
Why you gave it to earl?

[Chorus – 2x]
I'mma go hard whether i'm
Right or wrong
Till i'm dead and gone, it's on
Whatch'all really want
Bring it on
I'mma let life be my song

[Dmx]
To live is to suffer, and i'm livin' it up
Face everyday chin up, I ain't givin' it up
If I ain't givin' a fuck, then who will?
And so I hope for the best, knowin' that it's all uphill
Sometimes I wonder what life's about
Sometimes I wonder why I take the wrong route
Then turn around and go out and no doubt
That faith is mine, it's blind
So whatever, fuck it, i'mma roll out
We all go through the motions
We give different notions
We each have our own ocean, that we can either drown in or float, like the vessels that we are
Vessels that will carry many far
You don't know what to say when you talkin'
You don't know who you gon' see when you walkin'
If you don't know how much of what you do is dirt
3 things you don't know, could it get you hurt, nigga!?

[Chorus – 7x]
I'mma go hard whether i'm
Right or wrong
Till i'm dead and gone, it's on
Whatch'all really want
Bring it on
I'mma let life be my song
