Slippin’ (Demo Version/Funkdafied Beat) DMX

Yeah
Some ol'... Out the muthafuckin closet type shit
Knawimsayin'
Some crazy real... Down to earth type shit
Real niggas know what im talking about
Knawimsayin'
Peep it...

[Verse 1]
I've been through mad different phases like mazes just to find my way
And now I know that happy days is not far away
If I'm strong enough, I'll live long enough to see my kids
Doing something more constructive with their time than fuckin' bids
I know because I been there, now that I'm in there
I can sit back and look at what it took for me to get there
First came the bullshit, the drama with my mama
She got on some fly shit, so I split and said that I'ma
Be that seed that doesn't need much to succeed
Strapped with mad greed and a hеart that doesn't bleed
I'm ready for the world or at lеast I thought I was
Bagging niggas when I caught a buzz
For thinking about how short I was
Goin' too fast, it wouldn't last, but yo I couldn't tell
Group homes and institutions prepared my ass for jail
They put me in a situation forcing me to be a man
When I was just learning to stand without a helping hand
Damn, was it my fault, something I did
To make a father leave his first kid at seven doin' my first bid?
Back on the scene at fourteen with a scheme
To get more cream than I'd ever seen in a dream
And by all means I will be livin' high off the hog
And I never gave a fuck about much but my dog
That's my only mothafucka I hit off with my last
Just another lil nigga headed nowhere fast
