Pain

[Verse]

Who's to blame for the pain when you feel no gain?

Everything seems the same and your life ain't rain

Choices we make to earn a wage, wonder why we stank

Hey, the streets is hungry and I admit this is her pain

Campaigns through the night, are we truly to blame?

A 13 year old is now using his brain in vain

All aboard the night train

Destination unknown but sit still and remain

Stage point contained

(Pain)

Things that I want and can't have

A pimp ride where the crips are locked back

(Pain)

Why I quit the attack

Paint the grim, picture money piled up in the stacks, come on

Our future is vague, there's no hope, no gain

And the question still remains

Feeling like a runaway train

It's so hard to maintain

But there's no one that can truly explain this

(Pain)

I know I've been wrong for many things that I've done

And I'ma reap what I'ma sow (Pain)

Under the hot sun, feel like grabbing the gun

Situation's yelling at me, run boy run (Pain)

Pain as a young buck, learning to block

Shouldn't have sold my last rock, got my man shot

Mistakes I've done, wanna leave the hood in the past

These streets either fast or either strong or last (Pain)

Pain as a boy growing up as a man

Was my DNA strand compatible with a tin can? (Pain)

Or hide behind a mask like the Ku Klux Klan?

Do we really know the life and it's purpose and plan? (Pain)

Pain that follows footsteps of many dead men

Soon my thoughts get illustrated by the paper and pen

It's been told freedom is like the process of gold

But what does the good book say when you're losing your soul?

So I'ma walk with you, through the good and the bad

Through the times when sad, even when you get mad

Father listen, not son, you can call me your dad

I've been here from the start, don't forget about that

When you're walking through your hood, and it feels like combat

I can see what you've been thinking under the Yankee cap

I've been there, done that, got the scars on my back

I drink blood from my veins so you won't have to suffer

(Pain)

And things on this earth ain't never been the same

When loving falls blame, wrote my name in

(Pain)

So that freedom can reign

And your soul will find no shame in praising my name (Pain)

Pain is the payment that I seniorize

Today I'm here to set you free, behind them lies

Carry your cross, stand strong, be a man of worship

Seek my face, and the world will start searching

(Pain)

And I said as I did, so when I come back you may not suffer like I did

(Pain)

For all those who bleed from within, take refuge under my wing

(Pain)

Make your crooked path straight

Write your name inside my heart, just proclaim these things

Set free, delivered, no longer bound

Enjoy my life, cause of Him we no longer have

(Pain)

[Outro]

And God shall wipe away all the tears from their eyes

And there shall be no more death

Neither sorrow nor crying

Neither shall there be any more pain
