Someone In Pain

And so after that, the intro comes in like
Bum-Bum-Bum-Bum-Bum-Bum-Bum-
Bum-Bum-Bum-Bum-Bum-Bum-Bum
We ain't in Kansas anymore, not when I'm on the stage
All this hard work put me in a dominant state
Yet I never get too comfy, It's like my father would say
The only thing I know of that is constant is change
I had to learn to adapt to this monopoly game
There's no capitalism without a ball and a chain
And if that really ended way back in the day
How come there's twenty four years that I've been a slave

Shouts to the fans and those who actually listen
I'm grateful for all the support so don't get it twisted
But for every person who respect what I can do on a stage
There's ten other people who try to ruin my day
Droppin' hate on my page, I'd never do 'em the same
As a matter of fact: I hope they doing okay
I'd say my parents raised me right, I'll keep on doing my thing
Spreading positivity 'til I'm blue in the face
They only want me to trip but my shoes are all laced
So they put the same hurdles up for every dude in the race
And ironically those the same people who will complain
About the state of the world and act like you were to blame
They can't see the problem as if they don't have a mirror
Convince themselves that I'm blind yet I couldn't see clearer, man...
I can only hope they gonna get it one day
A little bit of respect can go a long way
And speaking of respect
Lately had a lot less for anything else
Other than my process
To my friends who tryna make me think some better thoughts
Sorry that I missed your calls, I've been in my head, dawg

People only call me when they need somethin'
Huh, wonder why I keep my feet runnin'
Saw it with Mac and I saw it with Peep uh
They ain't gonna love me 'til I'm six feet deep huh?
I'd say I can't believe y'all but I do
Cause I got eyes that can see y'all
And how you treat celebrities
So stop with that cheap talk
You know someone with fame, I know someone in-pain
No one has it easy, y'all can really make me nauseous
You see the wins not the losses, trust there's a lot kids (Trust)
You know somebody's name, I know someone in pain
Try to set examples but to keep it on a real note
With the mistakes that I make I already find it clear, yo
If I ever feel the pressure of bein' someone's kids hero
I'll know someone in pain

I'll know someone in-
I'll know someone in pain
I'll know someone in-
I'll know someone in- (Gr)

I'll never take a bet against the youth
'Cause it's the youth that's gonna move ford
I just wanted you to know
I've been in your shoes before
And back when I felt the same
I knew someone in pain
