[Chorus: Mashonda & DMX]

You could be blind

But you gon' see it when you need to see it

You gon' be fine

'Cause you gon' be here when you need to be here

One of a kind

First free your mind, and then you'll free your spirit (Uh)

Go where I go, dog in my life (Oh, ohh)

You could be blind

But you gon' see it when you need to see it

You gon' be fine

"Cause you gon' be here when you need to be here

One of a kind

First free your mind, and then you'll free your spirit

Go where I go, dog in my life (Oh, ohh)

[Verse 1: DMX]

Now if you start with dirt, then you start with hurt

You start with "Oh, you ain't got?"

Well here, take my shirt (Aight?)

Start with work, blood and tears over the years

Goin' through whatever we go through, we stickin' it out here

Pups turn into dogs, tadpoles into frogs

I'm just eatin' what's in front of me, ain't thinking about yours

But I'mma keep my paws on what's mine (Uh!)

Beg 'til I find (Uh!)

Strapped 'til I'm blind (Uh!), and I'm (What?!)

A nigga that whatever I do, still gon' be able to spit this

I'm wit' this, cause this is mine, you scared shitless (Woo)

Rap niggas can't fuck with the dog (Uhh!)

Never, could be twenty below outside

I'm built for the weather (Aight?)

It could be hotter than lava, I wouldn't bother to sweat

To some of you niggas, I'm a father, what, you startin' to forget?

I paid my dues, not only could you not wear but you would really love it if you could meet the cat that made my shoes

(Come on!)

[Chorus: Mashonda & DMX]

You could be blind

But you gon' see it when you need to see it

You gon' be fine

'Cause you gon' be here when you need to be here

One of a kind

First free your mind, and then you'll free your spirit

Go where I go, dog in my life (Oh, ohh)

You could be blind

But you gon' see it when you need to see it

You gon' be fine

'Cause you gon' be here when you need to be here

One of a kind

First free your mind and then you'll free your spirit

Go where I go, dog in my life (Oh, ohh)

[Verse 2: DMX &

[?]

]

Uh

Now see, what I do is peep shit, keep shit low key

(Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, what?)

Keep paying attention to what you trying to show me

Listen, but you never know me, listen (What?)

Don't give me and don't owe me

Don't tell me that you love me (Uh)

Don't talk shit, don't kill me slowly

Cause a dog like me, is an only

Meaning, hit another like me, the truth hurts, but I can't be phony

You always looking for bad (Uh!)

Look at you mad

But you won't be satisfied 'til it took what you had

(Aight) See, I'm a thorough nigga, I keep my word

And anybody that's ever met me, got love for me

So I keep a heard

And that shit y'all niggas told me got me fucked up in the head

Went from, "Yo, that's my dog"

To, "Get that nigga dead"

What the fuck is all this? (What?)

News to me

Dog it's like that?

Ain't what it used to be

See some niggas choose to be on the other side of the fence (Uh)

Keep riding with this (Uh)

Get fried in the mist (Come on!)

[Chorus: Mashonda & DMX]

You could be blind

But you gon' see it when you need to see it

You gon' be fine

'Cause you gon' be here when you need to be here

One of a kind

First free your mind, and then you'll free your spirit

Go where I go, dog in my life (Oh, ohh)

You could be blind

But you gon' see it when you need to see it

You gon' be fine

"Cause you gon' be here when you need to be here

One of a kind

First free your mind, and then you'll free your spirit

Go where I go, dog in my life (Oh, ohh)

[Verse 3: DMX]

Now if it ain't that, then don't say that

Cause I don't play that, y'all play that

But the okay black, damn, why you say that?

I thought that (What?)

Nevermind, I just thought it

We supposed to keep it real

I'm just doing what I was taught (Aight?)

Misery, loves company (Uh)

Now you niggas talkin' 'bout

Jumpin' me (Uh), pumpin' me

Full of slugs, blood, what's up, with the love

Damn, understand, what a real, nigga does

Don't listen to the buzz, don't get caught up in the hype

You'll lose everything that you worked for

Tryin' to take a nigga's stripes (Aight?)

Live life through life (Uh-huh), and so on and so on (Uh!)

That's one to grow on, man, get your flow on

You niggas gettin' too old for this kid shit

On the real, we all done did shit to get shit (Hmmm)

Snake shit, right is right, wrong is wrong

Muh'fucker, listen to this song

You see what shit I'm on (Come on!)

[Chorus: Mashonda & DMX]

You could be blind

But you gon' see it when you need to see it

You gon' be fine

'Cause you gon' be here when you need to be here

One of a kind

First free your mind, and then you'll free your spirit

Go where I go, dog in my life (Oh, ohh)

You could be blind

But you gon' see it when you need to see it

You gon' be fine

One of a kind

First free your mind and then you'll free your spirit

Go where I go, dog in my life (Oh, ohh)
