(feat. Mary J. Blige)    Believe me, when I say   Before light, there was dark     [Mary J. Blige]   Where you going, where you going?   Where you going, where you going?   Where you going?   If I don't know where I'm coming from   Where would I go?   If I don't know where I'm coming from   Where would I go?   If I don't know where I'm coming from   Where would I go?   If I don't know where I'm coming from   Where would I go?     [DMX]   Places that I've have been, things that I have seen   What you call a nightmare, are what I have as dreams   Bad as that may seem, I know is only going to get worse   Love, a slug, which one am I gonna get first?   My journey's been a rough one, I'm not sure when it begins   But the way it's looking, I kind of know when it's gonna end   Hold me down baby, it's gonna be a rough ride   Niggas give us plenty of room, cause I guess enough died   Let me travel, cause my intentions are to travel in peace   Fuck around I lay you down, you hit the gravel and cease   I could be a beast, or I could be a gentleman   But if you ain't my dog, you gonna be like 'Oh, it's him again'   Niggas will never win, this whole rap game is mine   Hot as you ever been, I was that in eighty nine   Seek and you shall find, look within and you will know   Where you coming from, and where you gotta go   Come on!     [Mary J. Blige]   If I don't know where I'm coming from   Where would I go?   If I don't know where I'm coming from   Where would I go?   -Got to keep it real with me   If I don't know where I'm coming from   Where would I go?   -So the hell with you   If I don't know where I'm coming from   Where would I go?   -I think I'm going to the top   Me and DMX     [DMX]   I will spend mad time in one spot, plotting my next move   Trying to figure out what is it, that X do what X do   Some questions go unanswered, that's what I'm afraid of   Sometimes I can't show, but I know what I'm made of   They made love, or should I say they made lust   Bound, there didn't have to be love there, but they made us   I got quite a few sisters, I was the only boy   But being with my dog, was my only joy   Like a kid with a new toy, I forgot about the ?   Escaped the misery, didn't think about the crime   Lost all track of time, was in another world   Everybody knew Earl, but there was another Earl   Like the side of the dark, riding the park but wouldn't want to   when they jump me, became a good runner   One by one they all went under, so I had the last laugh   They all thought it all was a joke, but I had the last laugh     [Mary J. Blige]   Ha ha ha ha ha ha   [DMX]   Come on!     [Mary J. Blige]   If I don't know where I'm coming from   Where would I go?   -If I don't know, I don't know   If I don't know where I'm coming from   Where would I go?   -But I know where I'm going   If I don't know where I'm coming from   Where would I go?   -But I know where I'm going   If I don't know where I'm coming from   Where would I go?   -Do you know, do you know     [DMX]   I feel the ghost from within, coming back to haunt me   Stay love in my peoples, even though they don't want me   When I was bad, I was forgotten, like I was dead and rotten   Should've been getting love, but instead was plotting   Shit wasn't right, and it was all blamed on me   Didn't know that I was special till this rap shit came to be   Gave me a way out, showed me it was better to teach   Than bust niggas with the fo-fo, leave them dead in the streets   Over beef that was worth less, than the cost of the slugs   That I bought to kill them   And that's because I thought I ought to kill them   Little did I know, death wasn't right   Didn't always show every breath was a life   It was to be captured in suspended animation   To be felt by all, understood by every nation   What's the sense of hating, when I can show love   What's the sense of faking, when I can show blood     [Mary J. Blige]   Now what's the moral to this story?     [DMX]   Come on!     [Mary J. Blige]   If I don't know where I'm coming from   Where would I go?   If I don't know where I'm coming from   Where would I go?   -If I don't know, I don't know   If I don't know where I'm coming from   Where would I go?   -But I know where I'm coming from   If I don't know where I'm coming from   Where would I go?   -Do you know where you're coming from?     Yonkers is where we grew   Trials we got through   On top is where we staying   Till the end, as long as we'll pray   On Hot 97 ya hear   DMX all through the year
