DMX - The Convo Lyrics






You tell me that there's love here, but, to me, it's blatant
That with all the blood here, I'm dealing with Satan
Plus with all the hating, it's hard to keep peace
Thou shall not steal, but I will to eat
I tried doing 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 going 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

[Hook x2:]
Somebody's knocking
Should I let em in
Lord we're just starting
But where will it end

But when the funds are low, the guns'll blow
Looking 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 going 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

Ayo a few of them times I thought you would erase me
But 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 running or sliding in the dirt cause I'm safe

[Hook]

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 going 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 speaking 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?

    "The Convo"

    You tell me that there's love here.
    But to me it's blatant.
    Nothin' but 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.
    Mean I'm aiight,
    I just had to work hard at it.
    Went to gran'ma for answers,
    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 it's goin' choose
    when it gets turned around.
    And will it be
    layin' in my own blood
    and on the ground.

    My child,
    I've watched you grow up
    and I've been there. (uh huh)
    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.
    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
    cuz you mine. (uh huh)
    And when you shine
    it's goin' 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 goin' guide you there
    Two sets of footsteps,
    I was right beside you there.

    But what about them times
    I only saw one.
    Those were the times that 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.
    But all you did was embrace me.
    Prepared me for the worst.
    Offered me eternal light,
    and scared me with the hearse.
    And the curse
    turned to grace.
    When the hurt
    turned to faith.
    No more runnin', (uh huh)
    and slidin' in the dirt
    cuz 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 yo' man
    I'm in yo' hand.
    Wus yo' plan.
    Never had a friend
    cuz 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. (uh huh)
    I've done some wrong things. (true)
    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 his 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 who shined yo'
    light on me.




    Ти ми каза, че има любов тук.
    Но за мен това е чуждо.
    Виждам само кръв.
    Защото се занимавам със Сатаната.
    Плюс цялата тази омраза
    трудно е да се запази мира.
    Не кради,
    но аз трябва да ям.
    Опитах се да бъда добър, но
    доброто не беше достатъчно добро за мен.
    Не разбирам, защо избра гетото за мен.
    Искам да кажа, че съм добре просто
    трябва да работя по-усилено.
    Отидох при баба ми за отговори,
    тя ми каза, че всичко е Божията воля.
    Така че сега ето ме,
    объркан и пълен с въпроси.
    Роден съм да губя,
    или това е просто урок за назидание.
    И кой ще реши
    кога всичко това ще се промени?
    И ще има достатъчно от моята кръв по земята.


    ( Дете мое, наблюдавахте докато растеше и аз бях до теб.
    Дори, когато най-малко си очаквал бях до теб. )
    ( И виж какво ти дадох, талант да римуваш. )
    ( Може и да не дойда веднага след като ме повикаш,
    но винаги ще съм на време. )


    Някой почуква, трябва ли да го пусна?
    Господи ние тепърва започваме,
    но кога ще свърши всичко това?
    Някой почуква, трябва ли да го пусна?
    Господи ние тепърва започваме,
    но кога ще свърши всичко това?
    Но когато парите са малко
    пистолета ще разреши това.
    Търсейки този, който ми дължи пари
    карайки го да ги донесе веднага.


    ( НЕ! )
    ( Свали пистолета и пиши нови рими. )
    ( Ще получиш всичко, когато му дойде времето.
    Справяш се добре, просто имай вяра, защото си с Мен. )
    ( И когато блестиш това ще е достойно за възхищение.
    Затова не се бори да порасваш
    за да не загубиш знаците, докато е студено. )
    ( Виждаш ли светлината в края на тунела?
    Това ще те отведе до там. )
    ( Само на няколко крачки.
    Ще бъда до теб там. )


    Но какво да кажем за тези времена?
    Виждам само едно, имаше времена,
    когато решавах всичко с оръжие.

    ( Било е време, когато се грижех за теб, сине мое.
    Водех те до безопасно място, не беше време още
    да се срещаш с мен. )


    Понякога си мислех, че си ме забравил.
    Но всичко, коети Ти направи е да ме прегръщаш.
    Подготвяйки ме и за по-лоши времена.
    Предлагайки ми вечна светлина.
    И проклятието се превърна в благодат.
    Болката се превърна във вяра, няма повече да бягам.
    Ще вървя в калта, защото съм в безопасност.


    Някой почуква, трябва ли да го пусна?
    Господи ние тепърва започваме,
    но кога ще свърши всичко това?
    Някой почуква, трябва ли да го пусна?


    Е, ако съм твое дете
    ще бъда в ръцете ти и в твоя план.
    Никога съм нямал приятел,
    защото не можеш да се доверя.
    Научих се да стоя изправен преди да започна да пълзя.
    Нещата се промениха!
    И ако не ми покажеш нищо, значи съм пропуснал аз да видя.
    Гледайки в грешната посока правейки лоши неща,
    държейки се лошо, но това не донесе нищо добро.
    И сега след всичко това искаш да ми кажеш,
    че Ти си този, който не е забравил за мен?
    Това беше Ти, този който вдъхна живот в дробовете ми, когато съм се родил.
    И беше Ти този, който ме научи да разпознавам лошото от доброто.
    И това беше Ти този, който ми даде да направя това, което трябва.
    И това беше Ти този, който ми даде красива съпруга и син.
    И това беше Ти този, който проговори чрез мен.
    И това беше Ти този, който ми прощаваше постояно.
    И това беше Ти този, който ми отвори очите за да прогледна.
    И ТОВА БЕШЕ ТИ, КОЙТО ЗАПАЛИ СВЕТЛИНАТА ВЪТРЕ В МЕН.
