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

and you wonder

why i pat you on your head

smile

look in your eyes and thank the lord for my child

meanwhile

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

over your ends

caps i fucked with are real

but hey

those are your friends

its just what you got comin' sometimes you don't know

what you askin' for

did you ask for more?

should the casket door swing here

it is done

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

bitch seen the bullshit

but never spoke on it

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

keep my dreams in strife

that's why i hit these motherfuckin' streets at night

come on!

there's a lotta shit that i let slide

cuz its outta my hands

lotta niggas i let ride

but its not in my plans

an a lot of my mans is not seein' through the fog

families by the truckload

fleein' them to the morgue

full moon

arooooo

the howlin'

grrrrrrr

an growlin'

shhhhhh

an prowlin'

don't know love

can't show love

that means you gonna need more love

than on old thug

but hold up

roll up

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

told her it was suicide

but you an i

both knew the truth

for we'd never die

listen nigga

if you scared

get a dog

but be prepared

for the mob

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
