[Chorus- Janyce] (DMX) Like the wind (like the wind) God will take (god will take) All my sins (all of my sins) Blown away (will be blown away) Like the wind (like the wind) Like the wind (like the wind) blooooooooooooooown

[Jinx] If pain is love why hide my pain with drugs Choke off haze and sell attics coke for days Same clothes and no soup to shave And I still got a gun on my hip for your open grave We used to get robbery vics until my man got killed for his whip on some robbery shit Then I switched to the weed and start selling crack But I will pull a steel and put a shell up in ya back I feel like all my life I was held up in a trap like if I go to heaven maybe hell will want me back But all I really want is sperwells up an a lap And a model bitch sitting with a head in my lap But since no doe don't spin and my pant hole got hole within I got to fold ya men It's obvious I live in a house of sin I wish I could open up the door and let 'em blow at the wind
[Janyce] Like the wind God will take All my sins Blown away Like the wind Like the wind blooooooooooooooown
[Intro: DMX] Let us pray for those that we've lost We know that we miss them for selfish reasons Oh Lord my God, indeed you I put my trust Save me, from all them that persocute me And deliver me, in Jesus name, GRRRRR
[Chorus: DMX - singing] Cause we all go anyway, I'ma say goodbye today Cause it could be any day, I'ma say goodbye today We've grown in so many ways, but I'ma say goodbye today Cause it could be any day, I'ma say goodbye today-ayayyyy
[Verse One] I'ma say goodbye today, cause I don't know when we gon' cross paths again, until then I'ma be that, and see that, speaks the truth Believe that, I'ma see that, to reach the youth My sufferin will not be in vain (NOT) Neither will yo' pain ever since you passed to hear yo' name Rest in peace to Autumn - we all know cancer cells kill, but if they caught 'em, they could afford 'em If you'd still be here, right here with us We'd have plenty time before death came to get us BUT, what is death like? Should I really care? After lookin at it, was life really fair? Did you burn any bridges? Did you make amends? Did you ask God for forgiveness for your sins? What is Heaven like? If you could come back, should you? If you could communicate for a moment there, would you? ... Just questions that we ask ourselves, every day (wanna know)
[Chorus]
[Verse Two] So young, so gifted Direction of life was uplifted, when the wind shifted And took a turn for the worse, with the blessing come the curse A nigga stressin took the dog into the hearse My nigga Divine was way too young to die
Fell out the nest and was way too young to fly But that didn't stop fate from happenin Idle time make the Devil HATE WHAT'S HAPPENING! God no! Why did it go that way? Comin from his fans away, why did he go that day? Lightly, I dare say, life goes on Donuts, Trey and Jerz I say, please be strong He was supposed to be on the road with me I wish somebody WOULDA came to get me and niggaz woulda had to hit ME But until then, MY FRIEND I'ma say goodbye today, cause you never know when
[Chorus w/ minor variation]
[Outro: DMX] Goodbye today, I'ma say goodbye today Goin away hey (uhh) goodbye today, I'ma say goodbye today (It's okay) And I say (let us pray) Goodbye today (and I say) say goodbye today Go on your way (and I say when you're, gone) I'ma say goodbye today I'ma say goodbye today (gotta say before you move on) HEY! Yes (yeah!) I mean, this is life (yeah, say goodbye) We are born, to die, so LET ME FLY! (know what I mean) Let me fly, we are born, to die (be good) {"Sometimes the pain is too much to bear" - [repeat to end of Outro]} Cause I'm in a better place ('til we meet again) I'm in a better place (I don't know what form) See you soon baby! (we'll meet again) Ha ha! .. (But we will meet again) ... Spread your wings (they gon' shed a tear on this one!) Fly, I'll try not to cry, it'll be hard I just, miss, not havin you here Even though I know you're in a better place! I just miss not havin you here Kinda selfish when you think about it That's nature, that's life Spirit, never dies, as lessons begin
[DMX] ask me if I cry I'll tell you why I can come on!
[Chorus] I'm gonna go hard whether I'm right or wrong till the dead and gone it's on! what ya'll really want?! bring it on I'ma let life be my song [Repeat Chorus]
[DMX] How I live is simple walk through the streets talk to the beats New York! I'ma eat I never had a problem with surviving no problem with getting down, busting my guns, or ruff rydin' cats talk slick but I talk slicker my shits for real cause I'm that nigga the reason that you hurtin' is you gotta take your problems straight to the lord, no body else can solve them(?) see what I see but look through my eyes the devil is a liar the truth never lies we all got issues shit that we go thru shit that we been thru shit that we wont do the pain that we bring upon ourself for no reason, is the worst! that's why I say I'm blessed with the curse the Lord gave it all to me and in the process, I lost my soul damn! the devil got a hold in my mind, I'm like a little boy lost in crime like the healthy nigga that the devil forced into dying the lord knows I'm trying but at the same time you hear the nigga with the weight of the world! why you gave it to Earl?
[CHORUS]
to live is to suffer and i'm living it up face everyday chin up I ain't giving it up cause if I aint giving a fuck the who will?! so I hope for the best knowing that its all uphill sometimes I wonder what's lifes about sometimes I wonder why I take the wrong route then turn around and go out and no doubt, the fate in mine is blind so whatever, fuck it, I'ma roll out we all go through the motions we get different notions we each have our own ocean that we can either drown or float like the vessels that we are vessels that would carry many far dont know what to say, when you talking dont know who you gone see, when you walking if you dont know how much of what you do is dirt 3 things you dont know gonna get you hurt!
[DMX] In the name of Jesus Let us pray Father please walk with us through the bad times as well as the good May we be heard and understood from the suburbs to the hood May you judge us by our hearts and not by our mistakes And see that we get a breakthrough however long that it takes May you fill that void in our souls that will lay our fears to rest Cause there is no way we can live for Jesus when we're liven in the flesh So I pray that you allow our sprits to be born Go strong move on know right from wrong Verse John Chapter 2 verse 15 Do not love the world or anything in the world and we know what that means But lessen we know the distance we need to keep away from fire to keep it missing That doesn't mean we'll listen Lord you take care of fools and babies You teach women to honor their men and men respect their ladies But lately so many of us have gone a stray Doing wrong for so long that we've forgotten the way Please bring us back home and still in us the word witch is our backbone Which is children that act grown There is so much that we're entitled to yet we receive so little Cause in this time of spiritual warfare we're comfortable in the middle So I pray that you open our eyes Give us the unknowing to recognize the devil and his lies If we keep our actions wise and our prays sincere Our heads to the sky you will demonist our fears In Jesus name we have prayed Amen and Amen
