Yea, (another gutter…) you know we had to do it this time baby! Nah-mean? My nigga D, we walk through the motherfucking’ doors Of the industry together baby! Nah-mean? (Gots to tell the truth) You gave that shit dog, Ya know what I’m sayin? Me like yo, go hard on these niggas baby, Nah-mean? (Gots to tell the truth) Go hard just let niggas know What the fuck is really going on Now that’s what the fuck I did! Aight! Arf, Arf. What!

The industry; man its not the same The industry; its not a fucking game The industry; real niggas is dying to get in The industry; just define they don’t fit in The industry; ain’t what it used to be The industry; trying to control the way you MC They want you to dress like that this and talk like that But I’m gon’ dress like this and talk with the gat The industry; got y'all word meaning nothing The industry; fuck what you heard cause he’s bluffing The industry; money, bitches, hate But I dare you to try to take a fucking thing off my plate The industry like “Wait!”, but in the streets we like “Get ‘em” Set 'em teed up in that thing, catch 'em sleeping and hit 'em And Ima pop whoever with 'em, the coroner is coming to get 'em Industry niggas, so that’s how I did 'em

The industry; mad niggas is full of shit The industry; mad niggas is sucking dick The industry; bitches keep thinking its a game The industry; don’t mention my fucking name The industry; mad niggas is full of shit The industry; mad niggas is sucking dick The industry; bitches keep thinking its a game The industry; don’t mention my fucking name, nigga

The Industry; if you ain’t got a strong mind The industry; you ain’t get down its a matter of time The industry; vultures with nothing to feast on The industry; see me I’m getting my beast on The industry; staying in the dirt, playing in the dirt Touch the wrong one in the industry and you will get hurt I’m not an industry artist, I’m an artist in the industry That’s why you what the fuck I want, cause nobody can finish me The industry; wanted dead or alive New artist to sell they souls, the way they survive The industry don’t give a fuck about you But the industry couldn’t make a dime without you The industry; I’m sick of this industry shit The industry; playing you like a industry bitch They try to finish me quick but I am on, so I stand strong Fuck the beat, listen to the words of the damn song

Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh (2X) Shit is crazy yo They loaning you money to make a album You pay 'em back the money, they still on the album What part of the game is that? (I tell you the truth, I don’t lie) You write your own shit, but they hold on to your shit What part of the game is that? (I don’t try to hurt nobody, I mind my business) You know what, the average nigga makes like (All these industry niggas could suck a fucking dick!!) Twenty-six cents over a motherfucking record We need a motherfucking union baby!!!

Often, my words fall on deaf ears Motherfuckers be listenin’ but don’t hear Talkin’ to 'em and they be sittin’ right here I be like “Where you goin’!?”, nigga be like “Yeah”

There are not many people who know how to eloquently express pain. I am terrible at it. But DMX had a way of making pain feel a little less painful. He didn’t hide from it. You felt his pain, you heard it, it was deep & if you’ve ever felt that deep soul crushing pain, you could relate. It was like he felt your pain too. Like he was with you, like he understood. We don’t have to have similar backgrounds to know how painful this world can be. It will eat away at you. It will change you. It will make you forget who you are and who you’ve always been. You’ll feel alone even surrounded by those who love you.

I hate that he felt any of that. I hate that any of us have to feel that. It comes in so many ways, shapes and forms. I hate that his pain started at such a young age. That he was thrown into the world so young. And I know he struggled with those feelings. Because we all know the worst part is sometimes you’ll even feel guilty for feeling sad, being depressed, hurting when it’s not your fault. He shared his pain with us. Vulnerable. Unfiltered. Uncensored. He let us in and now so many of us don’t feel alone. So many of us know that we aren’t the only ones who experience that kind of pain.

As he got older, we saw a shift which let us know that things can get better. He let us know that the pain doesn’t last and how to find joy in it. He let us know that we are all God’s children so we should love who we are. I found comfort in that. As someone who tends to fuck up, someone who gets called crazy, emotional, someone who has a temper. I appreciated his candidness because it helped me see that I’m a beautiful mess & that’s okay because I’m trying everyday to be better. I love him because he’s always been him and I feel that because imma always be me. Just ya know maybe getting a little wiser, trying to make better decisions but still human & still God’s child regardless.

I pray for peace over his family, friends, loved ones. I thank him for being that voice for the angry, the hurt, the broken, the passionate ones. The misunderstood like you and me. He didn’t have to be. That’s what makes him beautiful, powerful and his legacy everlasting. Thank you DMX. Rest in Power.

DMX was a presence. His personality. His music was everywhere. It was a staple and I always had it in rotation. THE MOVIES. Iconic.

I remember growing up and watching "Romeo Must Die" and "Cradle 2 The Grave" on repeat.

I have a deep love for NY rappers. He was one of my favorites. This is heartbreaking. 💔

Be kinder to people always. You never know how tough their battles are, even when they are open about them.

Maybe he find peace in the next life. I wish this one was much easier on him. Rest in power. 💗

azealia posted about dmx's death and how sometimes labels / the team behind an artist enable drug use or don't take the artist mental health seriously because they're more focused in making them work and honestly i think what she said is nothing but facts like so many artists especially rappers have died in the past few years because of accidental overdoses and i never thought how most of the time they're surrounded by their managers yet they're nowhere to be found when those accidents happen. I'm not saying their managers killed them or some weird conspiracy shit but i truly think sometimes it's convenient for labels to have their artists drugged out of their mind 24/7...there's something fishy going on and ofc no one in the mainstream will care abt what azealia said but let's wait til some twitter personality say something similar

[tlyricallefty]

This is kinda hard to watch. 

DMX is one of the first artists my older brother put me on when I was younger. I vividly remember how much his music impacted me as a child and now that he is gone, I have been reflecting on that. People don’t know what you’re going through however they still find a way to judge you. It’s unfortunate DMX wasn’t able to pull through. He was definitely someone who was fighting those demons.

Rest In Peace DMX
