Iyanla’s plea to DMX Lyrics

Beloved, I know we haven't spoken since our time together in yonkers. But you have been in my thoughts and on my heart and what concerns me is what I'm hearing from your friends and family, those who love you. And what I'm hearing is that they're just waiting for the call. They're waiting for the day they get the call. And you know what I mean. But I'm not waiting for that call, I'm calling on you. And I'm not going to give up on you. I will not stand by and watch my brother die. Over the years I've worked with many people who've struggled with addiction, with help healing is possible. I want you to remember the person you came in the final months of your grandmother's life. That's a clean life. You can be that man today and everyday. Just remember what your son said to you - "I want a relationship with you that is not toxic". My brother, Earl; DMX, I support you I love you and I'm calling on all of my beloved's. My tweeple. My Facebook. My inner visions. My masterpeace families to send you their love and support. I know that there's no valley deep enough, no gap wide enough, no mountain high enough that love can't conquer. My doors always open

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
