[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
