[Intro]
|
Yeah, feel my pain
|
Filled with pain
|
It's a struggle everyday
|
Did I walk in the right door?
|
I don't know
|
Yeah
|
|
I never back down, I do what it takes me
|
Things gettin' shaky, can't let it break me
|
A lot love us, some hate me
|
Some friends snake me
|
Sometimes the shit just make me
|
Wanna grab the tote and lose it
|
It ain't just tracks and raps
|
It's a whole other side to music
|
Things you can't see on MTV, but it's here
|
Lord, what's happened to me?
|
I'm really out there
|
Was this the right door to walk in?
|
Lips movin', but ain't nobody talkin'
|
I plead and I cry to the Heaven skies above to show me love
|
Wish that I could backtrack and make it like it was, but I can't
|
|
1 - When the pain's in me
|
I wish that it would let me be
|
But where can I run and where do I turn
|
When it's chasin' me?
|
|
Repeat 1
|
|
I got to deal with the what IS, fuck what IF's
|
Got to put it down and make it right for my kids
|
How many parties, how many bottles gotta pop?
|
How many more gots to die?
|
When this shit gon' stop?
|
I feel it in my heart, but I plays my part
|
It's a whole bigger picture so stay true to your art
|
Until I'm hauled off in the car
|
Swear it wasn't this dark when I got my start
|
Internin', been chart burnin', kept learnin'
|
Kept earnin', and the wheels kept turnin'
|
But after all the hit songs and the fame is gone
|
Your money right, but everything else done gone wrong
|
You're lonely, a lot of bitches is phony
|
Wanna know me just to tell niggas we homies
|
Whole time bitch schemin' on my Rolley
|
It's hard to watch everyone you with
|
When you rich, niggas with you try to get you
|
Plenty wanna hit you, I learned it now
|
It was no way out, now it's no turnin' around
|
Niggas that was with me, I praise 'em now
|
A toast to the Red Zone, raise 'em now
|
|
Repeat 1
|
Repeat 1
|
|
Silence, all eyes on me
|
But I can see through 'em like I knew 'em, so I walk to 'em
|
Extend my hand, try to talk to 'em
|
Stand while others ran and try to understand
|
Two sides of a story, let me tell my side of it
|
It's evident, it's there, I can't hide from it
|
How much for the soul in the window?
|
Most wanna be rich and famous
|
It's dangerous, you'll find out in a minute though
|
I love the close ones, sometimes feel like I got no one
|
Those that was there, I know I owe 'em
|
Backstabbers, I brush 'em off
|
In a room with straight faces, can't trust 'em all
|
Rush and fall, pause, let nature take it's course
|
Stand firm cuz I serve a higher force
|
And I can scream 'til I'm hoarse, hear me Lord
|
See I'm ? like 3 dice, riskin' it all in street life
|
|
At the fork in the road, I made a hard right
|
I put the work in, then escaped the hard life
|
I put it down 'til it's time to lay me down
|
Wanna be free, but a lot of shit weighs me down
|
The light's dimmin', who gon' save me now?
|
It's all good, but it ain't gravy now
|
We gots to do it for the babies now
|
And bring 'em up to correct all the wrong we've done
|
And don't let 'em sing the same song we sung
|
Like, killin' each other off one by one
|
And turn 'em from slangin' the drugs, into some'in
|
You can make it out the ghetto in more ways than one
|
But for now I'mma pray for better days to come
|
|
Repeat 1
|
Repeat 1
