Flesh Of My Flesh Blood Of My Blood



Coming From



Believe me before life, it was dark 

Hook (Mary) 
If I don't know where I'm comin from, where would I go (repeat 3x) 

Verse 1 
Places that I've been
the thing that I have seen 
What you call a nightmare
but what I have is dreams 
Now that it may seems
I know its only goin to get worse 
Love or slug
which one am I gonna get first 
My journey's been a rough one 
I'm not sure when it began 
But da way it's slippin
I kinda know when this shit is gonna end
what shed love 
Love hold me down baby
it's gonna be a ruff ryde 
Niggas give us plenty room
cuz I guess enough died 
Let me travel my intentions
I'd rather travel in peace 
But fuck around, I'll lay you down 
You'll hit the gravel in cease 
I could be a beast or I could be a gentleman 
If you ain't my dog
you'll be like "oh it's him again" 
Niggas will never win
this whole rap game is mine 
Hottest as you ever been
I was that in '89 
Seeking as you shall find 
Look within it, you will know 
Where you comin from and where you gotta go (come on) 

Hook 

Verse 2 
I would spend mad time in one spot
plottin my next move 
Tryin to figure out who is it the next dude X will do 
Some 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, found it 
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 choice 
Like a kid with a new towy
I forgot about the crime 
I stayed with misery
didn't think about the crime 
Lost all track of time
was in another world 
Everybody knew Earl
but there was another Earl 
Lighter side of the dark
fightin the park, but wouldn't wanna 
Stayed and fought 
But when they came and jump me
became a good runner 
One by one, they all went under 
So I had the last laugh 
They all thought it was a joke 
But I had the last laugh (ah ha ha) 

Hook 

Verse 3 
I feel the ghost from within, comin back to haunt me 
Stay lovin my peoples eventhough they don't want me 
When I was bad, I was forgotten 
Like I was dead and rotten 
Should've been gettin love, but instead was plottin 
Shit wasn't right, and was all blamed on me 
I didn't know that I was special until this rap shit came to be 
Gave me a way out 
Showed me it was better to teach 
Than to bust niggas with the 4-4, leave them dead in the streets 
Saw da beef was worth less than 
The cost of the slugs I bought to kill'em 
And that's because I thought that I wanted to kill'em 
Little did I know death wasn't right 
Didn't always show, every breath was a life 
Than to be captured and suspended animation 
To be felt by arm, understood by every nation 
What's the sense of hatin' when I could show love 
What's the sense of fakin' when I could shed blood

Yonkers is where we grew, trials we got threw 
On top is where we stay, till the end as long as we pray 
BK is where Swizz plays, spins tracks everyday 
On HOT 97 you hear, DMX all through the year
