DMX quotes

See, to live is to suffer

But to survive

Well, that's to find meaning in the suffering

It's what I live for, you take away that and I'm gone

There's a difference between doin' wrong and bein' wrong

You showed me that everything was black because my eyes were closed

Places that I've been, things that I have seen

What you call a nightmare, are what I have as dreams

The days are longer and it seems like I'm facin' time

I've got a lot of dreams, but I'm not really chasin' mine

I think my life is blessed with a curse.

Damn, was it my fault? Something I did?

To make a father leave his first kid at seven doin' my first bid? (Uh)

But I don't like drama, so I stay to myself

Keep focus with this rap shit and pray for the wealth

Where we at? Do you value your life as much as your possessions?

Don't be a stupid nigga, learn a lesson

I'm gon' get you either way, and it's better to live

Let me get what's between your sock 'cause it's better to give

If that’s what you wanna do, that's your business, but you ain't gotta promote it like it's cool and make it cool.

Now if your heart was as big as your mouth, you'd be real

Most niggas make movies, but niggas like us make it happen

If I hadn’t met the devil here I wouldn’t realize I was strong enough to overcome the obstacles that devil placed in my path.

Your old man say you stupid, you be like, "So?"

"I love my baby mother, I'll never let her go"

So, if it takes for me to suffer for my brother to see the light

Give me pain till I die, but, please, Lord, treat him right

All I know is pain, all I feel is rain

How can I maintain with that shit on my brain?

Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop

Oh, no, that's how Ruff Ryders roll

Wanna make records but I'm fuckin' it up (Why?)

I'm slippin', I'm fallin', I can't get up (Uh-uh)

Y'all been eatin' long enough now, stop bein' greedy

Just keep it real, partner, give to the needy

And the curse turned to grace when the hurt turned to faith

No more runnin' or slidin' in the dirt, 'cause I'm safe

In my heart, I mean well, but if You'll help me to grow

Then what I have in my heart, will begin to show

Because I am highly favored by God I experience great victories

Supernatural turnarounds and miraculous breakthroughs; in the midst of great impossibilities

We already know how much your watch is worth

Talk about helping the hurt, saving the Church

Why don't you brag about helping out where you come from?

And give brothers a job that really want one?

The streets, the cops, the system, harassment (Uh-huh)

The options, get shot, go to jail, or getcha ass kicked (Aight)

The lawyers, the part they are of the puzzle (Uh-huh)

The release, the warning, "Try not to get in trouble" (Damn)

I'm a jail nigga, so I face the world like it's Earl in the bullpen

You against me, me against you (Uh, uh, uh, uh)
