that's how it goes

I'm grindin' hard, livin' life in the fast lane No time to waste, gotta maintain my own lane Every step I take, gotta hustle, no complainin' DMX style, always stayin' true to the game Got scars on my heart, battles I've fought and won Life's a struggle, but I rise with the sun 150 BPM, my heart beatin' like a drum I'm a beast on the mic, spittin' fire, I'm the one I've been through pain, shed tears in the dark But I keep pushin' forward, ignitin' my spark Life's a journey, I'm makin' my mark DMX style, leave a legacy, leave a lasting remark (Verse 2) No time for fakin', I'm livin' life in the raw DMX flow, knockin' down every door On the streets, I'm a king, I'm the law 150 BPM, I'm settin' the score I've seen the highs, I've seen the lows But I never back down, I always impose DMX style, deliverin' lethal blows 16 bars of fire, that's how it goes I spit truth, no room for lies or deceit DMX's legacy, I'm here to repeat Life's a battle, but I won't accept defeat 150 BPM, I'm bringin' the heat So let the beat drop, as I unleash my flow DMX style, I'ma let the world know I'm livin' life, takin' it blow by blow 16 bars of fire, watch me steal the show Use in Studio or
