[Intro]
Let me talk, man, this shit beautiful, this some shit like we would just express how you feel wit' me, too, you know, you just gotta do what you gotta do, (?), yo, I almost hear it, uh
[Verse 1]
I used to sit and wait for my pops and he never came
And at the time that shit would hurt me more than anything
Out in this world on my own no one gave me anything
This shit deep, but let me tell you 'bout what hurt the most
Let me tell you 'bout what hurt my soul
Wish I could tell 'bout what made me smile
I just lost my little sis, I ain't laugh in a while
Can't even hug my momma love this shit breaking me down
And when I shed my tears, granny can't sing to me now
I don't really got no one I depend on for love
Pop a 1942s I depend on a buzz
And when I overcome my struggles just stay where y'all was
Shit, stay in the club
They can't stack up nothing nice 'cause they stay in the club
I barely ever go 'cause I don't get played in the club
Feel like, since my first six figures I've been paying for love
[Chorus]
I wonder when the pain go away (The pain go away)
But then again, then again, then again
Then again I don't, oh
Because it make me who I am
I wonder when the pain go away
But then again, then again, then again
Then again I don't, ohh
Because it make me who I am
[Verse 2]
Uh, yo, ready or not, man, here I come, so who ready for me?
It feel good to finally be making steady money
Would've done Lord knows what just for petty money
They ain't tell me from the jump that it would be this hard
I dealt with pain, but I never thought I would be this scarred
That's why my eyes water, and I'm breathin' hard
Heart broke in so many pieces just leave me 'lone
It get lonely at the top I just stay at my throne
I miss my fam that still came over when I wasn't home
I was put out in the rain and still weathered the storm
And always had the flyest clothes, but just watch me perform
This just another clip of me doing all wrong
On the road to success, shit, what's takin' so long?
I'mma give it all I got 'cause I waited so long
Ain't much left to say just pray for my moms
And these sucker ass niggas they hated so long
[Chorus]
I wonder when the pain go away (The pain go away)
But then again, then again, then again
Then again I don't, ohh
Because it make me who I am, uh
I wonder when the pain go away
But then again, then again, then again
Then again I don't, ohh
Because it make me who I am
