DMX ~ I'm Gonna Crawl


Live and learn Life is a lesson And I'm gonna teach it First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk But I gotta learn in order to teach Then I gotta burn in order to reach My niggaz Yo, I see what I see day by day Hoping that the Lord will pave my way (What!) Have I been forgotten? Have I forsaken? Or maybe I'm just wrong with the moves that I've been makin' Hatin' others cuz they hate me over envy They wanna send me, when we use to be friendly Think I started off on top with two platinum albums? Naw dog, I started off from the block I just did shit and did shit (Ugh!) Niggaz always knew I was down to hit shit so I stayed rich (What!) Played with shit but it wasn't a game; first time locked down (Ugh!) It wasn't the same, the whole fuckin' world, couldn't quite close the steel Niggaz get split for real, miss some good meal (Damn) Called nobody but don't nobody care They got my back against the walls Fuck it, I'm just here First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk But I gotta learn in order to teach Then I gotta burn in order to reach First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk But I gotta learn in order to teach Then I gotta burn in order to reach My niggaz Dog, it's like this: when the fog is tight thick, a nigga might flip And a nigga write quick, but I stay focus to what's important (What's that?) Supportin' my family, fucking with my dogs and record According to the man upstairs, we all got our own problems So you- stop worrying about bail (Aight) Learned a long time ago, look away and niggaz will leave you I hear no, speak no, see no evil All I can do is teach you what I know, how I flow how I get down, where I go (What!) Maybe what I been through or send you somewhere I've been (Where?) Dreams go out the window, I love my people, all of my people (Ugh) And God gonna keep me callin' my people (Ugh) You gots to live life to the fullest Ain't always about the size of the gun so time is the bullet First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk But I gotta learn in order to teach Then I gotta burn in order to reach First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk But I gotta learn in order to teach Then I gotta burn in order to reach My niggaz Everyday we live and learn, take it step-by-step We create our own path until there's no life left I hold my death (Ugh) all for as long as I can Know my man (What!) plottin' with a chrome in his hand Holdin' me back, niggaz gettin' shady over money MY NIGGA! Pull out the 380 over money (Damn) Really over money, can't do without it I got other shit to deal with, I'm like forget about it It's when I don't know with much tease that comes first because it comes with the thirst of a nigga that's had it the worst It's like a curse that should be lifted He was there when he lifted, got a call and he shifted Once he felt that he was gifted Got to kick it the hardest and I hope you got it It was there from the start, I just hope you spot it Cuz it's my blood on paper, my soul on paper It's worse to live by will leave a hole in the paper First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk But I gotta learn in order to teach Then I gotta burn in order to reach First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk But I gotta learn in order to teach Then I gotta burn in order to reach My niggaz more free lyrics

Live and learn
Life is a lesson
And I'm gonna teach it

First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk
Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk
But I gotta learn in order to teach
Then I gotta burn in order to reach
My niggaz

Yo, I see what I see day by day
Hoping that the Lord will pave my way (What!)
Have I been forgotten? Have I forsaken?
Or maybe I'm just wrong with the moves that I've been makin'
Hatin' others cuz they hate me over envy
They wanna send me, when we use to be friendly
Think I started off on top with two platinum albums?
Naw dog, I started off from the block
I just did shit and did shit (Ugh!)
Niggaz always knew I was down to hit shit so I stayed rich (What!)
Played with shit but it wasn't a game; first time locked down (Ugh!)
It wasn't the same, the whole fuckin' world, couldn't quite close the steel
Niggaz get split for real, miss some good meal (Damn)
Called nobody but don't nobody care
They got my back against the walls
Fuck it, I'm just here

First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk
Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk
But I gotta learn in order to teach
Then I gotta burn in order to reach

First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk
Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk
But I gotta learn in order to teach
Then I gotta burn in order to reach
My niggaz

Dog, it's like this: when the fog is tight thick, a nigga might flip
And a nigga write quick, but I stay focus to what's important (What's that?)
Supportin' my family, fucking with my dogs and record
According to the man upstairs, we all got our own problems
So you- stop worrying about bail (Aight)
Learned a long time ago, look away and niggaz will leave you
I hear no, speak no, see no evil
All I can do is teach you what I know, how I flow
how I get down, where I go (What!)
Maybe what I been through or send you somewhere I've been (Where?)
Dreams go out the window, I love my people, all of my people (Ugh)
And God gonna keep me callin' my people (Ugh)
You gots to live life to the fullest
Ain't always about the size of the gun so time is the bullet

First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk
Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk
But I gotta learn in order to teach
Then I gotta burn in order to reach

First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk
Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk
But I gotta learn in order to teach
Then I gotta burn in order to reach
My niggaz

Everyday we live and learn, take it step-by-step
We create our own path until there's no life left
I hold my death (Ugh) all for as long as I can
Know my man (What!) plottin' with a chrome in his hand
Holdin' me back, niggaz gettin' shady over money
MY NIGGA! Pull out the 380 over money (Damn)
Really over money, can't do without it
I got other shit to deal with, I'm like forget about it
It's when I don't know with much tease that comes first
because it comes with the thirst of a nigga that's had it the worst
It's like a curse that should be lifted
He was there when he lifted, got a call and he shifted
Once he felt that he was gifted
Got to kick it the hardest and I hope you got it
It was there from the start, I just hope you spot it
Cuz it's my blood on paper, my soul on paper
It's worse to live by will leave a hole in the paper

First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk
Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk
But I gotta learn in order to teach
Then I gotta burn in order to reach

First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk
Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk
But I gotta learn in order to teach
Then I gotta burn in order to reach
My niggaz

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
