Diamond D, Phife Dawg, Pete Rock - Painz & Strife lyrics

Now in this Hip-Hop world I
Happen to live in, heads be bitching
It's a wonder that when the punks walk
They don't be switching
Someone always got something to say
And I be itching
To verbally bust their whole fucking frame
I ain't kidding
Nothing wack over here, moneygrip
I'm always hitting
And being that my name be Phife Dawg
I just be shitting
All over the track by Diamond, fuck a rumor
If you try to bite this style
You might catch a brain tumor
Nowadays it's either the Heather or cheddar
Fuck the babbling
Put your money where your mouth is
Or there'll be no battling
Don't play yourself and get dissed by Malik
It's too embarassing
Take it straight to your face like Vin Rock
Fuck the Samaritans
I'm out to get the cheddar, no deals
I ain't having it
Never to work again in my life
Fuck Blake Carrington
East Coast representation, as well as West
Rub daddy speak, better listen
Diggey knows best

I'm swerving on MC's with these degrees
The only cheese you've seen
Is from promotional fees, please
I don't congregate with small timers
I leave you scratching your
Head like Alzheimer's
In a corner with four-timers
Smoking pretty women
With this city rhythm I get witty with them
Big D aka Ben Grin, I send men defending
You run home and then send
Your whole team back, scoped out I lean back
Focused on greenbacks
Niggas want to see me in green slacks
Upstate doing a bid
But I got plans reclined at the Sands
With my team, in the name of cream
Sipping on Jim Beam, still scoped your scheme
It seems to me, it's obvious
It seems to be jealousy
Fuck it if it means the beat
Cause I dream to be the next one on the top
I might blow up, but I won't go pop
Fuck the props
I want to breeze with the cheese
And my squeeze in the Florida Keys

Pains and strife, let me live my life
Born into a world that's trife
Like a knife I cut through the mazes
State to state smashing down stages
Overcome with
Pains and strife, let me live my life
Born into a world that's trife
Like a knife I cut through the mazes
State to state smashing down stages, huh

I'm off the hook
No more working off the book
I often look at how MC's turn soft and book
Look, you couldn't fade this renegade
From when it's made
Plus your rhymes are minute made
What's the deal, for real I watch you
Got you under my skin like Sinatra
Raise the stakes
See I believe it pays to make
A thousand ways to take your tasty cake

Hit the spotlight, and let me get right
Crowd anticipation when we rock the mic
It's like sex, good to the very last nut
Every word that we say, every cliche
So check the survery
Phife Dawg rhyming with Diamond
Niggas get astounded, all simple like Simon
Cream, working on plots and schemes
To hit big clientel to
The fullest, so represent, kid

Pains and strife, let me live my life
Born into a world that's trife
Like a knife I cut through the mazes
State to state smashing down stages
Overcome with
Pains and strife, let me live my life
Born into a world that's trife
Like a knife I cut through the mazes
State to state smashing down stages, huh
