DMX Feat. Mashonda You Could Be Blind Lyrics

[Chorus 2x]
You could be blind
But you gon' see it when you need to see it
You gon' be fine
'Cause you gon' be here when you need to be here
One of a kind
First free your mind, and then you'll free your spirit
Go where I go, dog in my life

[Verse 1]
Now if you start with dirt, then you start with hurt
You start with "Oh, you ain't got?"
Well here, take my shirt
Start with work, blood and tears over the years
Goin' through whatever we go through, we stickin' it out here
Pups turn into dogs, tadpoles into frogs
I'm just eatin' what's in front of me, ain't thinking about yours
But I'ma keep my paws on what's mine
Beg 'til I find
Strapped 'til I'm blind
A n____ that whatever I do, still gon' be able to spit this
I'm wit' this, 'cause this is mine, you scared s___less
Rap n____s can't f___ with the dog
Never, could be twenty below outside
I'm built for the weather
It could be hotter than lava, I wouldn't bother to sweat
Some of you n____s, form a following, but you startin' to forget
I paid my dues, not only did you not wear
But you would really love it
If you could meet that cat that made my shoes
C'mon!

[Chorus 2x]

[Verse 2]
Now see, what I do is peep s___, keep s___ low
Keep paying attention to what you trying to show me
Livin', but you never know, we livin'
Don't give me what you don't owe me
Don't tell me that you love me
Don't talk s___, don't kill me slowly
'Cause a dog like me, is an only
Meaning, hit another like you, truth hurts, but I can't be phony
You always looking for bad, look at you mad
But you won't be satisfied 'til it took what you had
(Aight) I'm a thoro n____, I keep my word
And anybody that's ever met me, got love for me
So I keep a heard
And that s___ y'all n____s told me got me f___ed up in the head
Went from, "Yo, that's my dog"
To, "Yeah, that n____ dead"
What the f___ is all this?
News to me
Dog it's like s___ ain't what it used to be
See some n____s choose to be on the other side of the fence
Keep riding with this, get fried in the mix
C'mon!

[Chorus 2x]

[Verse 3]
Now if it ain't that, then don't say that
'Cause I don't play that, y'all play that
But the poke ain't black, d___, why you say that?
I thought that...what?
Nevermind, I just thought it
We supposed to keep it real
I destroy what I was taught
Misery, love, company
Now you n____s talikin' 'bout jumpin' me, pumpin' me
Full of slugs, blood, stud with the love
d___, I just gave, what a real, n____ does
Don't listen to the buzz, don't get caught up in the hype
You'll lose everything that you worked for
Trying to take a n____'s stripes
Live life through life, and so on and so on
That's when the grow on, man, get your flow on
You n____s gettin' too old for this kid s___
On the real, we all done did s___ to get s___
Snake s___, right is right, wrong is wrong
Muh'f___er, listen to this song
You see what s___ I'm on
C'mon!

[Chorus 4x]
