I Can Feel It

(专辑： It's Dark And Hell Is Hot - 1998)

[DMX:]
Sometimes
Sometimes you just know
You just know, that's all

[Nardo:]
I can feel it coming in the air tonight
Hold on
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life
Hold on, hold on

[DMX:]
The best of y'all niggas remind me of myself when I was younger
When it was hunger that stopped a nigga from going under
And you wonder why I pat you on your head and smile
Look in your eyes and thank the Lord for my child
Meanwhile, something I gotta show you, and I hope you can take it
Gotta leave you in the desert, and I hope that you make it
Gotta put you on yo' ass to see what it does to you
When you stand up, you see that I'm just showing love to you
Other niggas'll put a slug through you, over your ends
Cats I fucked with are real, but hey, those are your friends
It's just what you got coming, sometimes you don't know
What you asking for, yet you ask for more
Shut the casket door, this one here good as done
They thought you was a killer, you swore you'd never run
Nigga died with his gun still up in the holster
It is coming in the air? Yeah, it's getting closer

[Nardo:]
I can feel it coming in the air tonight
Hold on
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life
Hold on, hold on

[DMX:]
I see life through many shades of grays and blacks
I could take that and hit 'em with the blazing tracks
When I make that you fake cats have violent dreams
It takes another dog to be able to hear my silent screams
The Devil got a hold on me, and he won't let go
I can feel the Lord pulling, but he moving dead slow
Let 'em know that amidst all this confusion
Some of us may do the winning, but we all do the losing
It's just who does the choosing, is you going up or down?
What have you been provin'? Just that you were a fucking clown
Been seen the bullshit but never spoke on it
'Cause I know that deep down you really don't want it
I was traded the chance of being a child with a father
For a talent and being able to survive when it's harder
My balance on the high beams of life, keep my dreams in strife
That's why I hit these motherfucking streets at night – come on!

[Nardo:]
I can feel it coming in the air tonight
Hold on
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life
Hold on, hold on

[DMX:]
There's a lot of shit that I let slide, 'cause it's outta my hands
Lot of niggas I let ride, but it's not in my plans
That a lot of my mans is not seeing through the fog
Families by the truckloads, fleeing to the morgue
Full moon, (ah-oo) – the howling
(Grr) – the growling, (shh) – the prowling
Don't know love, can't show love
That means you gonna need mo' love than an old thug
But hold up, roll up, talking out the side of your mouth
Is what's gonna let niggas know why you died in your house
While they lied to your spouse, told her it was suicide
But you and I both knew, the truth'll never die
Listen, nigga, if you scared, get a dog
But be prepared for the mob
'Cause you dead up in the fog
And that's your head by the log
I can smell it in the air, I can tell when it's there
This is hell and we're both here, can you feel it? Tell me yeah!

[Nardo:]
I can feel it coming
In the air tonight, hold on
I've been waiting
For this moment for all my life
Hold on, hold on
