DMX - Slippin' Lyrics
Ha ha ha ha ha ha uhh
See to live is to suffer but to survive
Well that's to find meaning in the suffering
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up
I been through mad different phases like mazes
To find my way and now I know that happy days are not far away
If I'm strong enough I'll live long enough to see my kids
Than bids I know because I been there
Now I'm in there sit back and look
At what it took for me to get there
First came the bullshit the drama with my mama
She got on the fly shit until I split
And said that I'm gonna be that seed
That doesn't need much to succeed
Strapped with mad greed and a heart that doesn't bleed
I'm ready for the world or at least I thought I was
For thinking about how short I was
Going too fast it wouldn't last but yo I couldn't tell
Group homes and institutions, prepared my ass for jail
They put me in a situation forcin' me to be a man
When I was just learnin' to stand without a helpin' hand
Damn, was it my fault, somethin' I did
To make a father leave his first kid at 7 doin' my first bid?
Back on the scene at 14 with a scheme
To get more cream than I'd ever seen in a dream
And by all means I will be living high off the hog
And I never gave a fuck about much but my dog
That's my only motherfucker I had offered my last
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up
That ain't the half shit gets worse as I get older
Actions become bolder heart got colder
Chip on my shoulder that I dared a nigga to touch
Didn't need a clique cause I scared a nigga that much
One deep went to for kicks
Catchin' vicks throwin' bricks gettin by bein' slick
Used to get high just to get by used to have to puff my L
In the morning before I get fly
I ate something a couple of forties made me hate something
I did some coke now I'm ready to take something
3 years later showing signs of stress
Didn't keep my hair cut or give a fuck how I dressed
I'm possessed by the darker side livin' the cruddy life
Shit like this kept a nigga with a bloody knife
Wanna make records but I'm fucking it up
I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up
Wasn't long before I hit rock bottom
Niggas talking shit like damn look how that rock got him
Open like a window no more endo look at a video
Sayin' to myself that could've been yo ass on the TV
Believe me it could be done something's got to give
It's got to change cause I've got a son
I've got to do the right thing for shorty
And that means no more getting high drinking forties
So I get back lookin' type slick again
Fake niggas jump back on my dick again
Nothin' but love for those that know how it feel
And much respect to all my niggas that kept it real
Kept a nigga strong kept a nigga from doing wrong
Niggas know who they is and this is yo fuckin' song
And to my boo who stuck with a nigga through
All the bullshit you'll get yours because it's due
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up
Can't get up...I gots to get up
This is from the heart baby, don't get it twisted
X, baby

great song. DMX's music has always made me think. i majored in religion in college. i finally came up with a way to help kids in a universal sense. i made a blueprint of a project on www.allinservice.org that anybody can just do in titheir hometown for the kids. it's a simple community service project helping kids on juvenile probation to finish their court ordered hours.
So relevant the battle from within!
Going into 2020 still on my playlists when I'm down
Love this song. Dmx has great talent.
In the zone
Nice. Very nice song.
There can only be one the best rapper and the realist the hardest to ever live
Maaaaannnneeeeee......😌💨👌🏽💯
I listen around holidays this song deep for me cause I'm in a wheelchair but niggas get shot everyday B! YG baby..
I'm from Jamaica and back in the days I haven't got too much exposed to hip hop but when a cousin introduced me to this dude musuc circa 1999-2000, I got kinda hooked. Then he came here to perform at a major stage show in 2000.
Its last night via a documentary I've learnt that despite so many hit songs and multi-platinums....he haven't scored a number one song in America on the top ten 10 charts.
My question is.....How the f'ck that happened?
A righteous man falls 7 times but the Most High delivers him out of them all. Proverbs 24:16-18. Read your history book brothers and sisters. Let those that have ears to him hear, Mathew 11:15. Shalom Royal Family. 🙏🏼💖💯
One of the best rappers of all f/n time ....putting out albums faster than anyone back in these days
Whos listeaning in 2020 this song is deep ecspecially when your going through something
To my nephew Richard who lost his life to depression and the system. RIP 22 young forever 🙏🌹♥️
This song reminds me of my Papa Joe Grieco who was raised in a basement apartment w his father and eight siblings. His mother died from cancer when they were young. They worked and owned many different businesses to get by and pay for his brothers law school education. He owned taxis, restaurants, worked the docks...his brother died from ammonia right after he past the bar and became a lawyer. My Papa got married and had three children, one being my mother. They spent time living in the projects. He hustled and got an apartment in a better neighborhood for his kids after that. Later on when he was well off, he returned to the neighborhood he was from...the neighborhood that made him strong....East Boston...and bought and owned a three family home.
This song is a masterpiece. I think underrated in the arena of rap classics.
Going into 2020 with this mentality
This hurts deep
Still listen n never will stop listening from early 2000 to 2019 and until 20??!!!!!!!!... Has described my life since first heard this BANGER/RYTHEM n still does... This SONG/RAP/TRACK how ever you describe this track is a BIG EYE OPENER/WAKE UP CALL for me n many MILLIONS OF OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE
Damn,,, as many times as I listened to this, the beginning never hit my ears and mind until this time. I just thought of this saying as I asked the father to take me back home, 45, and though I grew spiritually throughout my life, I get exhausted of this pu$$y arse life. "To live is to suffer, to survive is to learn the lifes lessons the Almighty places before us through the struggle, to bring light to those coming up behind us, to hopefully one god damn day, rid our world of these arrogant pu$$y punk mofo greedy fggts who oppress the shite out of us everyday with their bullshite man written fggt Colorable laws." Learn your rights my brothas and sisters so you to can fight these pu$$ies and use their are fggt legalese bullshite against them. (Congress) for a de facto Government called the UNITED STATES. We are not their employees and do not have to follow their policies. We are living, they represent death. Much love to my brothas and sisters. Let's banned together and roll on these punk mofos.✊😤🤛🙏.
This my life right now
Keep on, you can
I'm with you brotha.... Mad respect DMX.

The most real shit to drop in decades.
I always wanted to know if that’s Aaliyah that does the background
Its just some music I'll listen to till the day I die. 🙏
