Song of the Day

Title: You Could Be Blind

Artist: DMX feat. Mashonda

Album: The Great Depression

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
(repeat)

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
Scratch 'til I'm blind
A nigga that whatever I do, still gon' be able to spit this
I'm wit' this, 'cause this is mine, you scared shitless
Rap niggas can't fuck 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 niggas, I'm a father, what you startin' to forget?
I paid my dues, not only could you not wear
But you would really love it
If you could meet that cat that made my shoes
C'mon

Chorus (2x)

Now see, what I do is peep shit, keep shit low key
Paying attention to what you trying to show me
Listen, but you never know, listen
Don't give me and don't owe me
Don't tell me that you love me
Don't talk shit, 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's look what you ha

See I'm a thorough nigga, I keep my word
And anybody that's ever met me, got love for me
So I keep a herd
And that shit y'all niggas told me got me fucked up in the head
Went from, "yo, that's my dog"
To "get that nigga dead"
What the fuck is all this?
News to me
"Dog it's like that?" ain't what it used to be
See some niggas choose to be on the other side of the fence
Keep riding with this, get fried in the mix
C'mon

Chorus (2x)

Now if it ain't that, then don't say that
'Cause I don't play that, y'all play that
But okay black, damn, why you say that?
I thought that...what?
Nevermind, I just thought
We supposed to keep it real
I'm just doing what I was taught
Misery loves company
Now you niggas talkin' bout jumpin' me pumpin' me
Full of slugs, blood, what's up with the love?
Damn understand what a real nigga 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 nigga's stripes
Live life through life so on and so on
That's one to grow on, man, get your flow on
You niggas gettin' too old for this kid shit
On the real, we all done shit to get shit
Slick shit, right is right, wrong is wrong
Motherfucker, listen to the song
You see what shit I'm on
C'mon

Chorus (4x)
