DMX - Let Me Fly

[00:09.84] If you love somethin', let it go [00:11.94] If it comes back to you it's yours [00:14.14] If it doesn't, it never was [00:16.93] Hold me down, baby [00:19.38] Either let me fly or give me death [00:21.58] Let my soul rest, take my breath [00:23.90] If I don't fly I'ma die anyway [00:26.64] I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day [00:29.10] Either let me fly or give me death [00:31.57] Let my soul rest, take my breath [00:33.96] If I don't fly I'ma die anyway [00:36.48] I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day [00:39.38] Hold me down, niggas wanna know me now [00:41.73] Didn't want to play with me when to show me how [00:44.20] No meow, 'cause it's all about the bark [00:46.73] Let the dog loose, baby, it's about to spark [00:49.20] Light up the night like the 4th of July [00:51.82] Niggas know, when I let go, niggas die [00:54.34] With this Y and you don't know, you slow [00:56.55] Like Baltimore, if you ain't tryin' to go you blow [00:59.15] I soak up all the pain and accept it in silence [01:01.82] When I let go it's violence, 'cause the wildest [01:04.37] Is the dog barkin' up the tree for the cat [01:06.89] In the fog, what y'all niggas see is the bat [01:09.37] Flappin' away, but I'm blind like Stevie [01:11.89] Niggas don't hear me, still tryin' to see me [01:14.38] Stop bein' greedy, you heard what I said [01:16.45] Let me go, let me flow, or I'm dead [01:18.98] Either let me fly or give me death [01:21.14] Let my soul rest, take my breath [01:23.52] If I don't fly I'ma die anyway [01:26.13] I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day [01:28.59] Either let me fly or give me death [01:31.08] Let my soul rest, take my breath [01:33.54] If I don't fly I'ma die anyway [01:36.07] I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day [01:38.76] I sold my soul to the Devil, and the price was cheap [01:41.24] And yo, it's cold on his level, 'cause it's twice as deep [01:43.70] But you don't hear me, ignorance is bliss and so on [01:46.57] Sometimes it's better to be thought dumb – shall I go on? [01:49.11] Yo, on the real, what the deal? It's a mystery [01:51.57] How is it I can live and make history? [01:53.43] If you don't see it, then it wasn't meant for you to see [01:56.58] If you wasn't born with it, it wasn't meant for you to be [01:58.81] But you can't blame me for not wantin' to be held [02:01.15] Locked down in a cell where a soul can't dwell [02:03.72] This is hell, go get the Devil and give me the key [02:06.02] But it can't be worse than the curse that was given to me [02:08.57] It's what I live for, you take away that and I'm gone [02:11.37] There's a difference between doin' wrong and bein' wrong [02:13.65] And that ain't right, just keep it fair, baby [02:15.92] Put me in the air and I'll take it there, baby – yes! [02:18.38] Either let me fly or give me death [02:20.72] Let my soul rest, take my breath [02:23.10] If I don't fly I'ma die anyway [02:25.64] I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day [02:28.22] Either let me fly or give me death [02:30.67] Let my soul rest, take my breath [02:33.10] If I don't fly I'ma die anyway [02:35.50] I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day [02:38.22] I'ma flow regardless because I'm an artist until I'm trapped [02:41.02] I'ma continue to hit the hardest whether I scrap or rap [02:43.52] Give me dap, but you ain't my friend [02:45.50] I see it in your eyes, you contemplate my end [02:47.99] You waitin' for that bend in the road where you were told [02:50.36] That you would go when you were old and if you died young it was cold [02:53.46] Sold, not for nearly what it was worth [02:55.65] Think back 26 years, be like, "What if his birth [02:58.21] Was a miscarriage and I never existed?" [03:00.38] Have I given somethin' that if taken away you'd have missed it? [03:02.82] Didn't know, yet I persisted, it was the call of the wild [03:05.63] I merely say what's in my heart and you call it a style [03:08.14] Don't put it in a cage, don't mistreat it [03:10.34] You say you hunger for knowledge? Here it is, eat it! [03:12.52] Another song completed is another thought captured [03:15.25] Let me do my thing, I got it locked with this rap shit [03:17.79] Either let me fly or give me death [03:20.23] Let my soul rest, take my breath [03:22.66] If I don't fly I'ma die anyway [03:25.25] I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day [03:27.70] Either let me fly or give me death [03:30.13] Let my soul rest, take my breath [03:32.56] If I don't fly I'ma die anyway [03:35.18] I'ma live on, but I'll be gone any day [03:38.76] Or give me death [03:41.17] Or take my breath [03:43.50] I'ma die anyway [03:45.97] But I'll be gone any day [03:48.63] Or give me death [03:51.10] Or take my breath [03:53.58] I'ma die anyway [03:56.05] But I'll be gone any day [03:59.72] Where my niggas? [04:01.10] Uh, ahh, for my niggas [04:03.46] Uh, ahh, for my niggas [04:05.92] Uh, ahh, for my niggas [04:08.17]
