DMX – Coming From Feat. Mary J. Blige

Lyrics

[DMX]
I know that my savior lives
And at the end, he will stand on this earth
My flesh may be destroyed, yet from this body, I will see God
Yes, I will see him for myself - and I long for that moment
Grandma, I really miss you and it ain't been the same
I drop a tear when I, hear yo' name
Mariella Holloway, why you gotta be so far away?
Used to say, "Don't worry, it's gon' be okay"
But it ain't - it's like when you left, you took the Lord witchu
Why couldn't I come when he came to get you?
Damn I really miss you - I had to say it again
I remember the time when I was like ten
Crept up in the neighbor's yard, yeah, bein hard headed
You told me I would get it - you said it!
And boy did I get it, but after you spanked me, you hugged me
Kissed me on my forehead, told me that you love me
And I saw, that it hurt you, more than it hurt me
I thought - how bad could this hurt be? I know now
That's why it's only done out of love
What I wouldn't give for one mo' hug, from grandma
[Chorus: Faith Evans]
Baby it's gon' be okay (she used to tell me that)
Baby it's gon' be okay (I really miss hearin)
Baby it's gon' be okay (she used to tell me that)
Baby it's gon' be okay (I really miss hearin)
[DMX]
What I'm about to say a couple of family members is gon' hate me
But I'ma let you know what's been goin on lately
Now you know since you left, a lot of things witcho kids done changed
Yeah Jackie's still crazy, don't know what's up with James
Ain't seen Jerry in a while, you know he walk like you
And Renee's back in jail, you know she talk like you
Ricule doin real good now, she workin
Rhonda's still runnin around, trickin, jerkin
Buckeye's buggin, he done lost his mind
And Jarvis? Back out of jail, doin fine
Kylie? He done changed, it ain't all about self
As for my father.. well, that's somethin else
But that's my dog, he hold his grandmother down
My great grandmother, makin a lot of trips out of town
Bud that's a good thing, and if I could only hear you sing
once more, oh Lord, the comfort it would bring
[Chorus]
[DMX]
You left behind a mother (and) eleven kids (and) eleven grandkids
And since then, two of yo' grandkids done had kids
They had a boy named Tacoma, Xavier's brother, that's right
Xavier made you a great grandmother
I thank you for the best times of my life
I thank you for when you first met her, accepted and lovin my wife
I thank you for those Sunday dinners, they were vital
I thank you for my - life, I thank you for the bible
I thank you for the songs that you sing in the mornin
(Amazing Grace..) while I'm yawnin
I thank you for the two beatings you gave me
Cause I know somewhere along the line
the lesson I learned from the two beatings saved me
And when you died I cried like a baby, I begged the Lord to take me
Cause no one else could give me what you gave me
But life like everything comes to an end
I pray I go to heaven to see you again - amen
[Chorus] - repeat 2X
[Faith Evans]
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see, yeahhh

Paroles (Traduction)

[DMX]
Je sais que mon sauveur vit
Et à la fin, il se tiendra sur cette terre
Ma chair peut être détruite, mais de ce corps, je verrai Dieu
Oui, je le verrai de mes propres yeux - et j'attends avec impatience ce moment
Grand-mère, tu me manques vraiment et rien n'est pareil
Je verse une larme quand j'entends ton nom
Mariella Holloway, pourquoi dois-tu être si loin ?
Tu avais l'habitude de dire, "Ne t'inquiète pas, ça va aller"
Mais non - c'est comme si, en partant, tu avais emporté le Seigneur avec toi
Pourquoi n'ai-je pas pu venir quand il est venu te chercher ?
Putain tu me manques vraiment - je devais le dire à nouveau
Je me souviens du temps où j'avais dix ans
Je me suis faufilé dans le jardin du voisin, en étant têtu
Tu m'as dit que j'allais le regretter - tu l'as dit !
Et je l'ai vraiment regretté, mais après m'avoir puni, tu m'as serré dans tes bras
Tu m'as embrassé sur le front, tu m'as dit que tu m'aimais
Et j'ai vu que ça te faisait mal, plus que ça ne me faisait mal
Je pensais - à quel point cela pourrait-il faire mal ? Je le sais maintenant
C'est pourquoi cela se fait seulement par amour
Ce que je ne donnerais pas pour un autre câlin, de la part de grand-mère
[Refrain : Faith Evans]
Bébé ça ira (elle avait l'habitude de me le dire)
Bébé ça ira (tu me manques vraiment en l'entendant)
Bébé ça ira (elle avait l'habitude de me le dire)
Bébé ça ira (tu me manques vraiment en l'entendant)
[DMX]
Ce que je m'apprête à dire, certains membres de la famille vont me détester
Mais je vais te dire ce qui se passe en ce moment
Depuis que tu es partie, beaucoup de choses ont changé avec
