Sol - Pain lyrics
[Sol - Pain lyrics]
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
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?
I got to deal with the what is, fk 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
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 'cause 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
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
