Five Finger Death Punch - This Is The Way - Tribute to DMX

DMX left us on this day in 2021.

He was a lyrical warrior, a true original who spoke his mind incorruptibly.
We have always viewed DMX as “the metalhead of hip-hop’ because of his aggressive, raw, and untamed style.
He growled and snarled, aiming to rattle some cages–an attitude we share, as Five Finger Death Punch has always been drawn to the fearless and the real.

It made all the sense in the world, this is more than just a song; it's a salute to a legend, a way to honor DMX's memory.

This Is the Way is streaming now. https://5fdp.ffm.to/afterlifedeluxe

This Is The Way Feat. DMX Lyrics

This the way is the way it’s supposed to be
(Is this the way?)
This is the way that I say that it’s gonna be
(Is this the way?)
This is the way is the way it’s supposed to be
This is the way that I say that it’s gonna be

Ya’ll heard it through the grapevine (what’s that?)
Expect I’m gonna take mine
Name of the game is get in where you fit in (what?)
Dog, I fit in at the beginning

Cats livin - jumpin’ out the window
Where money go - yo right out the window
Where’s there’s rock and roll - I lock and load
Shut em down - open up a shop oh no

I’m no angel - I’m no savior
And I’ve never been a saint
Well I know I’m not the devil
Cause I still can feel the pain

Walk through fire and through brimstone
And there were no pearly gates
I’ll be sure to ask about it
Tell me

Is this the way is the way it’s supposed to be?
This is the way that I say that it’s gonna be

Let me go - back up off me
Dog got the cage - cats walk softly
Talk real lightly - scared to bite me
Scared to death to shoot me - scared to fight me

In the street just playin’ the wrong game
Up in the real face saying the wrong thing
Real shit - this is how a dog get down
Hands in the air whenever dog hit town

I’m no angel - I’m no savior
And I’ve never been a saint
Well I know I’m not the devil
Cause I still can feel the pain

Walk through fire and through brimstone
And there were no pearly gates
I’ll be sure to ask about it
Tell me

Is this the way is the way it’s supposed to be?
This is the way that I say that it’s gonna be

I’m no angel - I’m no savior
And I’ve never been a saint
Well I know I’m not the devil
Cause I still can feel the pain

Walk through fire and through brimstone
And there were no pearly gates
I’ll be sure to ask about it
Tell me

Is this the way is the way it’s supposed to be?
This is the way that I say that it’s gonna beThis the way is the way it’s supposed to be
(Is this the way?)
This is the way that I say that it’s gonna be
(Is this the way?)
This is the way is the way it’s supposed to be
This is the way that I say that it’s gonna be

Ya’ll heard it through the grapevine (what’s that?)
Expect I’m gonna take mine
Name of the game is get in where you fit in (what?)
Dog, I fit in at the beginning

Cats livin - jumpin’ out the window
Where money go - yo right out the window
Where’s there’s rock and roll - I lock and load
Shut em down - open up a shop oh no

I’m no angel - I’m no savior
And I’ve never been a saint
Well I know I’m not the devil
Cause I still can feel the pain

Walk through fire and through brimstone
And there were no pearly gates
I’ll be sure to ask about it
Tell me

Is this the way is the way it’s supposed to be?
This is the way that I say that it’s gonna be

This is the way that I say that it’s gonna be
