Fame Lyrics - And Then There Was X - Dmx

[DMX] 

Uh-huh (Y'KNOW?) 

. 

ARF! 

Uhh. 

Take it for what it's worth, my birth was a blessing 

Sent to live and die, on earth as a lesson 

We each have a star, all we have to do is find it 

Once you do, everyone who sees it will be blinded (WHAT?) 

They'll tell you that you're bright, and say you have a future 

When you turn your back, same cats'll try to shoot ya 

Niggaz ain't shit, I can live on both sides of the fence 

Forget what you do, when you talk, see what you really meant (aight?) 

That's what I thought, them niggaz was bluffin (uh) 

They talk all day but say, nothin (uh) 

It gets so dark (WHAT?) haze so intense 

Since this first rain it's like it's rained ever since (WHAT?) 

Never got paid for a rhyme but I flow (whoo) 

Never got a plate on time but I grow (whoo) 

Live your life, STAY on the line but I go (UHH) 

Went from doin crime to bein kind cause I know

Chorus: DMX (repeat 2X) 

I'm gon' live forever, I'm never gon' die 

Only thing I fear is that I'm never gon' fly 

Carry my weight but I'm never gon' cry 

Shit I tell y'all niggaz straight cause I'm never gon' lie 

[DMX] 

What is about who I am that makes me unforgettable (HMM) 

What it is about what I've done that makes it so incredible (uhh) 

"More money, more problems" -- well the fame was worse (uh-huh) 

I reached out for love and what came back was thirst (WHAT?) 

Blessed with the curse (uh) niggaz don't hear me 

Niggaz don't hear me, Y'ALL NIGGAZ, don't hear me (uh) 

What'd I just say? "Nigga g'head" - you see that? 

You gots to FEEL ME to catch what I'm sayin, BELIEVE THAT (UHH!) 

But leave that, alone (WHAT?) 

We gon' make a nigga wanna be at, your home (WHAT?) 

Oh you kinda quiet with the heat at, your dome (UHH!) 

If the dog got he's gonna bring back a bone 

cause we got the chrome (C'MON!) 

This is what I live for, or die for 

I'm the nigga with the high score, you try for 

What you niggaz wanna lie for? It changes nothin 

I'm true for cats, yet some strangers bluffin 

Chorus 

[DMX] 

Now if I take what he gave me and I, use it right (uh-huh) 

In other words if I listen and, use the light (uh-huh) 

Then what I say will remain here, after I'm gone 

Still here, on the strength of a song, I live on (HMM) 

No second-guessin on what I stood for, I was good for 

stoppin niggaz from killin each other in the hood war (UHH) 

Comin through showin love, throwin up (UHH) 

Them cats not throwin love, you know whassup (WHAT?) 

Dark Man baby, that's my name 

and I gots to be the realest nigga (UHH) up in this game 

Cause ain't no shame, they don't make em like, this no more 

Real to the core, big heart but built for war 

I stand for what I believe in 

Even if what I believe in stops me from breathin 

Relatives grievin, but I ain't went nowhere 

Listen to the song (C'MON) I'm right there 

Chorus
