It’s A Terrible Pain

[Intro: Sample]
It's Innovative
Right by her side
Right by her side
Right by her side
It's a terrible pain

[Verse 1: Rio Thomas]
Yeah, damaged souls become flammable
When mishandled, dismantled
In dark times we lit spliffs like candles
My picture sits on the mantle
It's an image of the younger me
When I was hunger free
My spirit was full of belief
While ya lyrics filled with deceit (Damn)
Give me a beat I won't kill it for free
I gotta eat but your receipt is a lifetime guarantee
Timeless hitman flow, the written assassin
Catch him cashin', prolly gassin'
For forgiveness I've been askin'
But I'on put no tips in the basket, in the pain I've been baskin'
Hard to refrain from reactin', my tears like rain on a napkin
I catch the bus to work my whip I crashed it (Skrrrt)
Oh this shit's fantastic, but I keep it pushin' like Lupe Fiasco
Although my system got a leaky gasket (Uh)
I'm the only mechanic, but don't panic
I planned it, my spirit was planted (Yo)
So I know I'm here for a reason, to see it I demand it
Every season is outstanding, all I see is change and growth
I called you 'Bro', bro what you changing for
I gotta let you go, I gotta let you know (Damn)
I gotta let you go, I gotta let you know (Uh)
I gotta let you go, I

[Verse 2: Rhakim Ali]
Yo, put numbers on the board like a scorekeeper
Taking 'em off the bleachers
I'm off with the cost
A dash of salt could make the pain die out
A dash of doubt could put your fame in a drought
You just here for the clout
Rap legend steerin' 'em out
You like to talk, you should stay in the house
Got a wolf on the leash
That big talk could get you caught in the streets
Straight bars, no sleep, just gnawing the beat (Come on)
Hold the mic like a harboring thief
I rock the show like a ponytail
You like a plastic cup to the Holy Grail (Yeah)
Niggas moving like snails on the light scale
Took the homie out of jail on a light bail
One of the top ten, leave a hot pen
When I drop plots up a notch at a scotch den, cop gems
Out the lot with a lock, then pop niggas out they socks
Box with a cop, knock him out his skin, come on
No matter what I'ma be
No matter what I'ma be

[Outro: Sample]
Right by her side
Right by her side
Right by her side
It's a terrible pain, and it
Right by her side
Right by her side
Right by her side
It's a terrible pain, and it
Right by her side
Right by her side
Right by her side
It's a terrible pain
