DMX:

Uh. Yea. Uh. If you love something let it go, if [bad word] back to you it's yours. If it doesn't, it never was.
Hold me down baby
 [bad word] 2x):
Either let me fly, or give me death
Let my soul rest, take my breath
If I don't fly I'ma die anyway, I'ma live on
but I'll be gone any day

Hold me down, niggaz wanna know me now
Didn't want ta play wit' me wanted to show me how
No meow
'Cause it's all about the bark.
Let the dog loose baby it's about to spark
Light up the night, like the 4th of July
Niggaz know, when I let go, niggaz die
wit' this Y and you don't know you slow like Baltimore
If you ain't tryin' ta go ya blow
I soak up all the pain and except it in silence
When I let go it's violence cause the wildest
leaves the dog barkin' up the tree for the cat
in the fog but ya'll niggaz see is the bat
Flappin' away wit' em blind like Stevie
Niggas don't hear me, still tryin' to see me
Stop being greedy, ya heard what I said
Let me go, let me flow on my bed
 [bad word] 2x)

I sold my soul to the devil, and the price was cheap
And yo it's cold on this level cause it's twice as deep
But you don't hear me, ignorance is bliss, and so on
Sometimes it's better to be thought dumb...
Shall I go on?
YO, on the real, what the deal is a mystery
How is it I can live and make history
If you don't see it, then it wasn't meant for you to see
If you wasn't born wit' it then, it wasn't meant for you to be
But you can't blame me for not wantin' to be held
locked down in a cell where a soul cant dwell
If this is [bad word]  call me the devil and give me the key
for it can't be worse than the curse that was given ta me
It's what I live for, you take away that and I'm gone
There's a difference between, doin' wrong and being wrong
and that ain't right
Just keep it fair baby
Put me in the air, and I'll take it there baby
Yes
 [bad word] 2x)

I'm a flow regardless because I'm an artist until I'm trapped
I'ma continue to hit he hardest whether I scrap or rap
You give me dap but you ain't my friend
I see it in your eyes, you contemplate my end
You waitin' for that bend in the road, where you were told
that you would go, when you were old
and if you died young, it was cold
Sold, but not for nearly, what it was worth
Think back 26 years, be like what if his birth
was a miscarriage and I never existed
Have I given something that have been taken away you
would of missed it
Didn't know,that I persisted ?
It was the call of the wild
i merely say what's in my heart, and you call it a style
Don't put it in the cage, don't mistreat it
You say you hunger for knowledge, here it is eat it
Another [bad word] is another thought captured
Let me do my thing I got it locked wit' this rap [bad word]  [bad word] 2x)

Or give me death, uh uh uh, or take my breath
I'ma die anyway, but I'll be gone any day
Where my niggaz ?
(3x)Uh ha ha, for my niggaz
