Didn't Go Nowhere

[Intro: DMX]

I don't want wings

I just wanna see things that mean a bond has been formed

The devil cannot come in between

For real, give me that, please

[Chorus: Janyce & DMX]

After all the pain and tears (Uh, uh) I'm still standing (Hey, hey)

I didn't go nowhere, I didn't go nowhere (Uh, uh)

After all the lies and ways (What?) they tried to hurt me

(No weapon formed against me shall prosper)

I didn't go nowhere (You stay right there, I didn't go nowhere)

I didn't go nowhere (I didn't go nowhere)

[Verse 1: DMX]

Been through the pain (Pain), been though the strugglе (Struggle)

Been through the rain (Rain), made it out thе jungle (Jungle)

And I'm grateful for it all, the blessings and the curses (Curses)

The triumphs and the failures (Failures), the lessons in the verses

The best and the worse is (Wow) yet to be seen (Uh)

And based on what I've been through, I don't know what that means

But whatever it's gon' be, it's gon' be good

'Cause I know God and knowin' me, it's gon' be hood

'Cause I go hard

[Chorus: Janyce & DMX]

After all the pain and tears I'm still standing

I didn't go nowhere (I didn't go, I didn't go, I didn't go)

I didn't go nowhere (I didn't go, I didn't go, no, no)

After all the lies and ways they tried to hurt me () (And all the tears)

I didn't go nowhere (No, no), I didn't go nowhere

[Verse 2: DMX & Janyce]

Let me walk you through the darkness (Darkness), walk you to the light (The light)

Walk you through the hardest (The hardest) fights of your life (Your life)

Walk you through the good times (Good times), walk you through the struggle (Struggle)

Walk with you through it all (What?), just because I love you (Oh)

Hug you when you need me to (Uh), scold you when I have to

Teach you when I got to, the devil's tryna get at you

Try not to let him grab you, but even if he does

I'll be right there to help get him off just because

[Chorus: Janyce & DMX]

After all the pain and tears I'm still standing

I didn't go nowhere, I didn't go nowhere

After all the lies and ways they tried to hurt me

I didn't go nowhere (I didn't go nowhere), I didn't go nowhere

[Bridge: DMX]

Before I was born, you was right there

Even after I'm gone, you'll be right there

And whenever it's on, You'll be right there

I'll make it through the storm 'cause you'll be right there

Before I was born, you was right there

Even after I'm gone, you'll be right there

And whenever it's on, you'll be right there

I'll make it through the storm 'cause you'll be right there

[Chorus: Janyce & DMX]

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

After all the pain and tears, I'm still standing (Hey, come on)

I didn't go nowhere (Aww man, this gonna touch somebody)

I didn't go nowhere (This gon' touch somebody, in the name of Jesus)

After all the lies and ways (I thank you for it all) they tried to hurt me

(I thank you for it all, I thank you for my blessings)

I didn't go nowhere (I thank you for my curses), I didn't go nowhere

(I thank you for my problems, I thank you for my triumphs, my all, I just thank you for it all)

After all the pain and tears, I'm still standing (By everything I went through, by the grace of God)

I didn't go nowhere  (This gon' help somebody someday, hello)

(I'm talking to somebody) I didn't go nowhere

After all the lies and ways (Yeah) they tried to hurt me

(They tried to hurt me, they tried to hurt me)

I didn't go nowhere (I didn't go, I didn't go, I didn't go)

I didn't go nowhere (I didn't go, I didn't go, no, no)

[Outro: Janyce]

Lord, show me a sign

Show me the way, show me a sign

Lord, show me the way, show me the way
