Down Since Day One/Pain

[INTRO]
This is for my niggas
This is for my homies
All over this motherfucker
I'm down for Michigan
And I'm from Detroit, you know what I'm sayin'

[VERSE 1: ESHAM]
This is for my homies who've been down since day one
I ain't got to say no names cause everybody know 'em
Me and my homies always gettin' high
In the city where I live
Nigga, it's do or die
I got much love for my niggas out in Flint
And every other town that gave love when I went
Like Inktown, Saginaw, and Pontiac
And my niggas out in Ypsi with the chronic sack
And fuck the police 'cause they don't know how to treat us
And now they out to get me me 'cause I told 'em kill the fetus
But fuck that
I'm kind of laid back
And all my niggas that's down we go way back
I'm not a New York rapper
Or L.A. gang banger
I'm a Detroit old-school crack slanger
Make mo' money, mo' money
Pockets like sunshine
Always sunny
And a sucker wants my love
He gets none
I only gives loves to the niggas who been down since day one

[VERSE 2: ESHAM]
This is for my niggas who been down with the O.G
Unholy black Kunta Kinte, Toby
Nigga I'm true and I ain't new to the game
I got that Funkadelic locked in my Maggot Brain
But tonight I'm finna give it up to my real niggas
Them Reel Life niggas with their fingers on the trigger
And yo, nigga don't play me like a ho
I'm down to throw and I'm no CB4
Like bubblegum gangsta ass niggas with the wack funk
Helter skelter? Get off my bozack, punk
My name is Esham and I'm droppin' thee bomb bud
Most niggas still droppin' duds
My homies know what time it is though
And I know my real homies down with the Devil, yo
Fake niggas, you getting done
This is for my homies who been down since day one

[VERSE 3: ESHAM]
Now I gotta put more niggas on ice
The Unholy Black Devil ain't nothin' nice
I'm down for the dirt
And when I put in work
I make punk motherfuckers run and go to church
Nigga it's me
The nigga you been trying to keep down
Here I come
Fuckin' up the underground
Check mic, one, two
Some Old Wicketshit for you
Word After Word I run it on down the line
The Unholy nigga fuckin' wit'cha mind
And if I flex it, then I wrecks it, so I wreck shit
My shit's phat and yours anorexic

You know who be...you know who be bitin' my shit?
That motherfucker named [CENSORED]

[SEGUE TO NEXT SONG]

[VERSE 1: ESHAM]
I feel no pain when I think about my daddy
I'm thinking, "Oh shit man, he never shoulda had me"
I've been suicidal since the age of thirteen
Now I know what puttin' in work really means
My mama never loved me cause she always called me crazy
Mentally phasin' me like Rosemary's Baby
I never had no time to do nothing but think
I gotta get my head and my dick out the sink
When will I die
I'm just passing time by
How do I plead to homicide without an alibi
Symptoms of Insanity
Some say I'm just insane
And all this goes on inside my Maggot Brain
I feel no pain

[VERSE 2: ESHAM]
I feel pain when I think I get disgusted
"In God We Trust" but you know I can't trust it
Sometimes I wanna give it up and go and bite the bullet
Swallow me a bullet from the trigger when I pull it
I'm mad at the world cause I'd rather be dead
My mind is playin' tricks on me, it's all in my head'
It started as a little kid, my problem just increased
I had me a dream, "No Justice, No Peace"
Call me the Unholy Black Kunta Kinte
Murder, murder, murder me like Wili Otey
Symptoms of Insanity
Some say I'm just insane
And all this goes on inside my Maggot Brain
I feel no pain

[VERSE 3: ESHAM]
I feel no pain cause of all the shit I been through
Selling cocaine is the evil that men do
I can't love nobody, Tin Man without a heart
Anyway, I was fucked up from the start
Mama was a junkie up 'til the day she died
And at her funeral, a young nigga never cried
I guess it was the fear of feeling pain on my brain
Cause I didn't have shit to lose
Or shit to gain
Just pain
