DMX

A detailed Summary of DMX

The song "Slippin' " by artist DMX uses tone, theme and imagery. DMX's purpose for writing this song was to convey the theme how life in the streets is, and how you can over come life with drugs if you give it all you got. The song begins with the speaker talking about problems he is having with his mom, and that's when he decides to run away from home. Then it moves on to when he is on the streets by himself, and that is when his problems begin to worsen.

In the first stanza, the speaker starts talking about the problem he is having with his mom. He then decides to leave his house. When he leaves his house he thinks its going to be easy to live alone in the streets and that is when he uses imagery and says "I'm gonna be that seed that doesn't need much to succeed ". He then finds out that

life in the streets is not so easy and that's when he says, " I'm ready for the world, or at least I thought I was... "In this stanza he also uses tone when he says, " DAMN, was it my fault something I did...."? Here he is asking himself if it was his fault that his father had left him at age 7 and why did his father leave.

In the middle of the song the speaker talks about how he hit rock bottom. He says that in three years he started showing signs of stress, that he didn't care how he looked and he didn't care about anybody. He says that he "Would get high to get by" or in other words he would get high to forget about the problems he had.

This song has a lot of meaning in it, and I believe that it's a good message for those who are going through the same situation. This song tell you how you can over come anything if you don't

Some common words found in the essay are:
Slippin' I'm, DMX- Slippin', Music Project-, didn't care, talking mom, life streets,
