[Chorus: 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
[Verse 2: 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 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
[Chorus: 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
[Verse 3: 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-ooh), 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 know the truth'll never✦ die
Listen,✦ nigga,✦ if you scared,✦ get a dog, but be prepared for the morgue
'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
[Chorus: 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
