Pain

You already know I'ma give you my heart on this one

You perfect even though you could barely see your purpose
Just the thought of seein' failure get you nervous
Gotta stay down 'til it all just reach the surface
Can't be entertaining clowns caught in the circus
Everybody ain't your homie, shit, I learned it
Every girl I have still love me, shit, I earned it
Every enemy I got still respect me
So motherfuck a hater, nigga, please excuse my verbiage
Went from goin' to church to gettin' shot at up at Churches
Tryna get some chicken 'til that biscuit got to bursting
Took a lot of L's, my big brother was the worstest
Still ain't been the same since I seen him in that coffin
They call it hittin' home, it's startin' to hit there often
All my folks up in the streets, here's a sign, proceed with caution
'Fore you'll be up the creek servin' time somewhere with Dawson
Or the tears in your mama eyes while the reverend get to talkin'
Man, that's why I got this

Pain in my eyes
For the profit in my pocket, I got pain in my eyes
On my way back to the top, lost everything but my pride
If it don't kill me, I'll just take it in stride
Put down my hat, tryna hide all this motherfuckin' pain in my eyes
For the profit in my pocket, I got pain in my eyes
On my way back to the top, lost everything but my pride
If it don't kill me, I'll just take it in stride
Pull up my shades, tryna hide all this motherfuckin'

You perfect even though you could barely see your purpose
I know you feelin' like a fuck-up, but you determined
Makin' plays on your shit, puttin' work in
Tired of runnin' 'round the streets with the serpent
If you a snake, get from 'round me, tryna constrict me
Should ask my ex, "How you don't want me when you picked me?"
Good luck fillin' up my spot, I know you picky
And all these niggas just longin' for a quickie
Kobe died the other day and that shit hit me
Feelin' like another rerun of Nipsey
Gianna Bryant broke my heart, I got a son, my nigga
And as a father, that shit make me wanna hug my nigga
They say tomorrow ain't promised, but we still livin'
Every fuckin' day like the next one guaranteed to be arrivin'
Been on scenes full of sirens, I pray that ain't my destiny
Ain't tryna be on no stretcher, I ain't tryna have 12 arresting me
The way I live my life though, niggas wish the best for me
'Cause I could be on a shirt somewhere or locked up for a century
Tried to teach my little brother better and move carefully
Almost ended up like my big brother, God was testin' him
Took one to the head and shook back for the most part
But still workin' hard to get the
Movement back in both arms and both legs
I love that little nigga with what's left of my cold heart
My shades on all dark 'cause all you see is

Pain in my eyes
For the profit in my pocket, I got pain in my eyes
On my way back to the top, lost everything but my pride
If it don't kill me, I'll just take it in stride
Put down my hat, tryna hide all this motherfuckin' pain in my eyes
For the profit in my pocket, I got pain in my eyes
