[Photne - dead-on impersonation of DMX]
As long as I LIVE...n***as will understand...
That LOVE is LIFE, and LIFE is PAIN..
And PAIN is for my DOGZ! And PAIN is for the LOVE OF GOD, and the BLACK MAN!!
Yo, until they bury me, I'm comin fo' n***as
Yo, I'm Tay-MX! f**in wit n***as
Yo, y'all n***as don't know - Ruff Ryderz - GRRRRRRRR!!!
Growl on n***as, and you know I got pride
I got pride wit my n***a Eccentric
Y'all couldn't understand, s** the dick, sh*t!
YO, YO, Tay-MX
And you know I have to say them fresh, yo!
God is Love, God is PAIN
Give me pain 'til I DIE, the sky and the rain
And I'll die fo' y'all n***as, but I love the cat
But I ain't f**in wit chay'all n***as, so they take my dyke
On the TURNTABLE n***as, can't f** wit me
'Cause y'all KNOW, y'all n***as gon' see
Like Christ, like Jesus, puffin on BLUNTS
Y'all n***as can understand, give 'em what they want
[Chorus]
Give me pain 'til I die, n***a
Y'all couldn't understand, yo I gotta try n***a
Give me pain, give me pain 'til I die n***a
Y'all don't know, but you know I gotta try, n***a
And one more time, 'til I die n***a
Y'all don't know, so you know I gotta try, n***a
In the frying pan, you gon' fry n***a
Oh, oh, give me pain 'til I die, n***a - WHAT!! WHAT!!
I thought I TOLD y'all, I'm comin correct
Back in the DAY, I had a welfare check
We was standin in the line, and I was hungry as hell
And I knew someday, I was gon' do real well
So I GOT wit my n***as, and they dealt my pain
And THEN I WAS STANDIN, out in the rain
I didn't have no umbrella, I got my +Groove Back+
But my name wasn't Stella, so I had to go to the teller
STICK THEM ni**aZ, take they ATM
Because them chances, like Shady, they was +Slim+
I'm survivin, n***as know I'm comin through
And I'm NEVER tellin lies - WHAT!!
[Chrous]
[Outro]
This is what I LIVE, this is what I DO
And this is who I AM!! We are comin through to you!
Talkin, wit truth! For the CHILDREN!
For my DOGS! For the BLOOD OF MY FLESH OF MY GOD!!
...GRR!
