Last Hope

They do it every time man

Every time

Every time they do it to me

[Chorus: Adreena Mills & DMX]

Yess

Yess

I gotta make it out and move quickly

...

Let this time around they won't skip me

I am the last hope, (The Champ!)

Won't hesitate not even for a second

The hustle lasts me coming up second

A mother ... rise of my weapon

I am the last hope

[DMX Verse 1]

Damn, I went through it again

After telling everybody I wouldn't do it again

I kinda feel like I let my people down (yup)

But to get them right, I got's to pick myself up (come on)

When I heard this beat and hook, it was so raw (uhh)

Looked in the mirror, didn't like what I saw, (uhh)

All I could say was: ahh man shit gotta change (forreal!)

Even get it right and take one to the brain (blam!)

... and the pain that I went through daily, (woooh)

Tryna stay sane through the rain, y'all hear me

I'm slippin', fallin', can't get up

But this time I'm outta control, I don't give a fuck!

For the thugs!, I'm the last hope for the team (come on!)

I'm the reason why some niggas,

gotta holding a dream (come on!)

These cats know what's good, I am the hood (Aii)

I ain't hoping that they don't,

I'm wishing they would would (come on!)

[Chorus: Adreena Mills]

I gotta make it out and move quickly

...

Let this time around they won't skip me

I am the last hope, (The Champ!)

Won't hesitate not even for a second

The hustle lasts me coming up second

A mother ...

I am the last hope

[DMX Verse 2]

I gotts to do it for me, or do it for them, (yeah)

I ain't playing with this shit, Im'ma do it to win

Know I can do it again, (come on) cause I did it before

Went ... to ..., and y'all niggas knew the story (for real)

First album dropped in may, second in december

Went from platinum in one year like, y'all don't remember,

(come on)

Only nigga who's first 5 albums did build at number 1

And you wonder why I call you son (my son)

I just begun, to get started, with the hardest part of it all

Is to climb a slippery wall and, still don't fall

Break down and call up to God, when it get to hard

I know you ain't gonn' let me go now!!(please)

You brought me too far

Showed me I was as a star, all my life

I know it, all it right, before I, call it a night

I'mma thank you for it all, the blessings and the curses

And I hope you listening, there's a lesson in the verses

Yeah

[Chorus: Adreena Mills]

I gotta make it out and move quickly

...

Let this time around they won't skip me

I am the last hope, (The Champ!)

Won't hesitate not even for a second

The hustle lasts me coming up second

A mother ... the rise of my weapon

I am the last hope

[DMX]

Does it bother me?

Yeah off course it bothers me

Cause it's not who I am, I'm not you know,

the person the media portrays me to be, ya mean?
