PAIN [Microphone James]
[Verse 1]
I live my life on the run and I’m fed up
Praying to the lord every night I keep my head up
Two strikes on me and I’m looking at the third one
Should I give it up or should
I keep my ass on the run, it was all fun when
A nigga was just balling, now I’m on my knees
Life moving back nigga now I’m crawling
Dreaming every night that a nigga just falling
Death around the corner on the phone just calling
Tell me why lord, why lord, I just want to live
I’ll sacrifice myself if you take care my kids
I’ll be quick to do that bid, wouldn’t worry about shit, but my fam got to eat, so that time I ain’t with
Saying life is a bitch, ain't no way she don’t play
I smoke the weed to get my mind right
Smoking it every day, talking to myself daily
Always cleaning my AK, so the best thing
For the world to do is stay the fuck away
[Chorus]
Y’all niggas can’t feel my pain, all I want is fortune
And fame, leave my kids with a decent life
Let them smile and laugh man
What happened to peace and love?
What happened to stating facts?
What happened to being proud?
What happened to being black?
Y’all niggas can’t feel my pain, all I want is fortune
And fame, leave my kids with a decent life
Let them smile and laugh man
What happened to peace and love?
What happened to stating facts?
What happened to being proud?
What happened to being black?
[Verse 2]
For fifth teen years I’ve been making bad decisions
Now I’m an old head in the game
Looking at death and prison
If I leave her tomorrow, you probably won’t miss me, I take life as it comes ain’t got no time for bitchin, as a younging but coming up in the game
I wouldn’t listen, the heat was hot as hell
But I stayed up in the kitchen
Now I’m looking at my life to see if it’s worth fixing
The ones who did me wrong
Trying to see if they’re worth hitting
Their life for my life mane, I’m hell bound anyway
Got to let them haters know, that Mike James don’t play I left my eyes towards the hills
Where comes my help, the eight ball hasn’t dropped yet
So I still have breath, I dig deep up inside
To grab what strength I have left
I pat myself on my own back
I pick up my own slack
My dreams done been to hell and back
And that’s a fucking fact
[Chorus]
Y’all niggas can’t feel my pain, all I want is fortune
And fame, leave my kids with a decent life
Let them smile and laugh man
What happened to peace and love?
What happened to stating facts?
What happened to being proud?
What happened to being black?
Y’all niggas can’t feel my pain, all I want is fortune
And fame, leave my kids with a decent life
Let them smile and laugh man
What happened to peace and love?
What happened to stating facts?
What happened to being proud?
What happened to being black?
[Verse 3]
Demons in control and I feel like a bomb
My heart bleeds every night, thinking about my son
Sometime I ask the lord why he didn’t take me
Home young, will I live to see the end, or will is see
The [?] …sipping rum to remain calm
The government don’t want none, you can’t find
Bin Laden but your ass found Sadaam
Middle finger to your title, fuck that flag
Fuck that [?] the police patrolling the hood
Ready to do battle, but this is one cowboy that’s
Gonna stay on the saddle, reminiscing in Dallas
We use to play back in the days
[?] the lord took him away
I guess it’s for the best, this world is a fucking mess
Are we really blessed, are we going through a test
I see why people kill them selves
They feel like they have nothing left
The life we live is not always home
But we still have to pay for everything we did wrong
[Chorus]
Yall niggas can’t feel my pain, all I want is fortune
And fame, leave my kids with a decent life
Let them smile and laugh man
What happened to peace and love?
What happened to stating facts?
What happened to being proud?
What happened to being black?
Yall niggas can’t feel my pain, all I want is fortune
And fame, leave my kids with a decent life
Let them smile and laugh man
What happened to peace and love?
What happened to stating facts?
What happened to being proud?
What happened to being black?
