Angel Lyrics

"Angel"
(feat. Regina Bell)

[Regina Bell harmonizing while DMX speaks] 
What good is it.. 
for a man to, gain the world.. 
yet lose his own soul, in the process? 
[Bell] God loves you, yes he does 
Said you're alright with him 
[DMX] I wonder.. 
[Chorus: Regina Bell (repeat 2X)]

I know you never seen him but don't fight with him 
You're gonna make it through the night to the light with him 
Uhh, you're alright with him 
I said you're alright with him 

[DMX] 
I'm callin out to you Lord, because I need your help 
See once again I'm havin difficulty savin myself 
behavin myself, you told me what to do, and I do it 
But every and now and then, gets a little harder to go through it 
Losin friends, day by day 
I'm in so much pain when I'm here Lord, please take me away 
I put you here to do a job, and your work ain't done 
To live is to suffer, but you're still my son 
And there will be a time when you shine as bright as the stars 
But there won't be a, his or hers, just ours 
Then you'll see what I've been tryin to show you, all these years 
Do the right thing; cause after the tears, come the cheers 
I will, my Lord, with my heart, and my soul 
That's gonna be how I roll, from now until I'm old 
Lead and I'll follow, you take away the sorrow 
I'ma sleep on what you said and holla back tomorrow 

[Chorus]

[DMX] 
I want you to know Lord, that for what you've given me I'm thankful 
Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, I'm grateful 
You gave us power in our words, so I think before I speak 
And that way when I speak, they know I'm here to teach 
Can't tell em nothin wrong, cause I love em too much 
I reach a lot of people, and Lord, I'm lovin the touch 
But deep inside, I've got somethin that's workin against 
everything I know is right, what I know makes sense 
That's when you must fight harder, than you've ever fought before 
cause what you've got goin on inside you is a war 
between good and evil, be careful of those who wanna be you 
They smile, but are not really happy when they see you 
Be careful of the ones that always wanna get you high 
Cause when the time comes, that one'll let you die 
Listen to me! I'm here, but I can only help you 
if you want me to help, what do you want for yourself? 

[Chorus] 

[DMX] 
My Lord, my saviour, don't judge my behaviour 
but instead, take what's in my heart and put it in my head 
See I guess I really never knew, how proud I made you 
My life is yours, my soul I gave you 
I don't know if I'll do good enough (he's by your side) 
And we both know the hood is rough (right by your side) 
Sometimes I don't know what to do (X, dry your eyes) 
But I know what I gotta do (it'll be alright) 
You keep givin me the word, and I'll put it to song 
Talk to me, I'll talk to them, and we can't go wrong 
This is the start of somethin strong, and this is just the start of it 
Praises to you my Lord, for lettin me be a part of it 
I was that kid that, been there, did that 
Became ashamed so I hid that 
But, ain't no longer with that 
Use me as an example - if I can do, then they can too 
With the Lord behind us, there ain't nothin that we can't do 

[Chorus]

[Regina Bell] 
He's by your side 
Right by your side 
X, dry your eyes 
cause it'll be alright 
Yeah, he's by your side 
Right by your side 
X, dry your eyes 
Cause, it'ssssssssss gonna be alright 
Yeah yeah, yes it isssssssssss
