LYRICS

[DMX and DMX as God:]

You tell me that there’s love here, but to me it’s blatant

That with all the blood here, I’m dealin’ with Satan

Plus with all the hatin’, it’s hard to keep peace (uh huh)

Thou shall not steal, but I will to eat

I tried doin’ good, but good’s not too good for me

Misunderstood, why you chose the hood for me?

Me? I’m aight; I just had to work hard at it

Went to grandma for the answer and she told me that God had it

So now here I am, confused and full of questions

Am I born to lose or is this just a lesson?

And who is gon’ choose when it gets turned around?

And will it be laying in my own blood and on the ground?

My child, I’ve watched you grow up and I’ve been there

Even at those times you least suspected it, I was there

And look at what I’ve given you – a talent to rhyme

I may not come when you call, but I’m always on time

 

Somebody’s knockin’

Should I let ’em in?

Lord, we’re just startin’

But where will it end

Somebody’s knockin’

Should I let ’em in

Lord, we’re just startin’

But where will it end?

 

[DMX and DMX as God:]

But when the funds are low, the guns’ll blow

Lookin’ for that one that owe, make ’em run that dough

No! Put down the guns and write a new rhyme

You’ll get it all in due time, you’ll do fine, just have faith ’cause you mine

And when you shine, it’s gon’ be a sight to behold

So don’t fight to be old or lose sight when it’s cold

See that light down the road? It’s gon’ to guide you there

Two sets of footprints; I was right beside you there

But what about them times I only saw one?

Those were the times when I was under the gun — It was then I carried you my son

Led you to safety, it just wasn’t your time to face me (uh huh)

Ayo, a few of them times I thought you would erase me

When all you did was embrace me, prepared me for the worst

Offered me eternal life and scared me with the hearse

And the curse turned to grace when the hurt turned to faith

No more runnin’ or slidin’ in the dirt, ’cause I’m safe

 

Somebody’s knockin’

Should I let ’em in?

Lord we’re just startin’

But where will it end?

Somebody’s knockin’

Should I let ’em in?

 

So if I’m your man, I’m in your hands, what’s your plan?

Never had a friend ’cause you couldn’t trust your man

Learned to stand before I crawled, things were twisted

And if you showed me anything at all, then I missed it

Looked the wrong way, I’ve done some wrong things

Kept a bad attitude, but that’s what wrong brings

And now you mean to tell me that after all this time

It was you that kept the dog from goin’ out of my mind?

It was you that breathed life into my lungs when I was born?

And it was you that let me know what was right from what was wrong?

And it was you that let me do, what I knew what could be done?

And it was you that gave me a good wife and a beautiful son?

And it’s been you speakin’ to me inside my mind?

And it’s been you who has forgiven time after time?

It was you who opened my eyes so I could see?

And it was you that shined your light on me?
