I Can Feel It lyrics - DMX (feat. Nardo)

[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 goin' 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, somethin' 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 showin' 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 comin', sometimes you don't know

What you askin' 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 comin' in the air? Yeah, it's gettin' 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 blazin' 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 pullin', but he movin' dead slow

Let 'em know that amidst all this confusion

Some of us may do the winnin', but we all do the losin'

It's just who does the choosin', is you goin' up or down?

What have you been provin'? Just that you were a fuckin' 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 bein' a child with a father

For a talent and bein' 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 motherfuckin' 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 seein' through the fog

Families by the truckloads, fleein' to the morgue

Full moon, (ah-oo) – the howlin'

(Grr) – the growlin', (shh) – the prowlin'

Don't know love, can't show love

That means you gonna need mo' love than an old thug

But hold up, roll up, talkin' 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
