edge of da night
Singer:dmx
the best of y'all niggas remind me of myself when i was younger
when it was hunger that stopped the nigga from goin' under
why i pat you on your head
look in your eyes and thank the lord for my child
somethin' i gotta show you an i hope you can take it
gonna leave you in the desert
an i hope that you make it
gotta put you on your ass to see what it does to you
when you stand up an see that i'm just showin' love to you
other niggas would put a slug through you
caps i fucked with are real
its just what you got comin' sometimes you don't know
should the casket door swing here
an thought you was a killer
you swore you'd never run
nigga died with his gun still up in the holster
it is comin' in the air? yeah its getting' closer
i see life through many shades of grays and blacks
i could take that an hit 'em with the blazin' tracks
when i make that you fake cats have violent dreams
takes another dog to be able to hear my silent screams
the devil got a hold on me an he won't let go
i can feel the lord pullin' but he movin' dead slow
let 'em know that amidst all this confusion
some of us may do the winnin'
but we all do the losin' its just who does the choosin'
easy goin up or down what have you been provin'?
jus that you were fuckin' ground
an i know that deep down you really don't want it
i woulda traded the chance of bein' the child with a father
movin' talent and bein' able to survive when its harder
my balance on the high beams of life
that's why i hit these motherfuckin' streets at night
there's a lotta shit that i let slide
an a lot of my mans is not seein' through the fog
families by the truckload
fleein' them to the morgue
that means you gonna need more love
talkin' out the side of your mouth is
what's gonna is what's gonna let niggas know
why you bad in your house
an they lie up to your spouse
cuz you dead up in the fog
an that's your head by the log
i can smell it in the air
i can tell when its there
this is hell an we both here
can you feel it? tell me yeah
