[HOOK]
Feel my pain, feel my pain
What you know about my struggle
And what a nigga needs
Feel my pain, feel my pain
My life's an open book
Won't you read a page
[Verse 1: Itspf]
What you know about my struggle
And what a nigga needs
Know about doing without
When you got kids to feed
What you know about constant stress and strain
There's no blues skies around here just pain and rain
What you know about what I got and what I usta have
What you know about what makes me sad... what makes me mad
This worlds about wants and needs
Wealth and greed
Highs and lows
That's why I need my weed
What you know about having to steal to survive
Trying to survive working off a nine to five
Fuck a minimum wage
I need a twelve shot gage
I'm a ticking time bomb
Walking around in a rage
My life's an open book
Won't you read a page
Take heed to my needs
And the things I say
Because everyday I pray for Heaven and some pearly gates
Because I'm dancing with the devil
And he a hell of a date
[HOOK]
Feel my pain, feel my pain
What you know about my struggl
And what a nigga needs
Feel my pain, feel my pain
My lifes an open book
Won't you read a page
[Verse 2: Itspf]
What if at a blink of an eye
All your shit was gone
Living in a six foot by nine
That you gotta call home
What you know catching cases
Crying faces
Sittin in a jail cell
Dreaming of better places
What you know about my story
Ghetto fame and glory
You see me screaming out for help
But you still ignore me
You see me sitting on the curb nigga
Begging for change
While you rolling up the windows in your brand new range
And you wonder why I get mine
With a nine
Taking a chance of getting time
Because a niggas caught in a Mutherfuckin bind
I'm damned if I do
I'm damned if I don't
Police hoping I will
My momma praying I won't
This is the life I live
It's just a take and a give
It's a struggle to live
I'm an open wound that needs to heal
Your eyes are wide open
But you blind as hell
If life is a test
Then we all will fail
