Pain (feat. Sonta & J Tsunami)

(Hey) I'm just tryna be great

Look (Hey)

1995 fall night October eighth (Yeah, word)

Most people would say a star was born but, nah

That's when I was born and I wasn't born a star (Nah, what?)

**** I wasn't born on top (Yeah, I was born on top)

I remember walking cold from school when mom's ain't had no car

Me and my cousins, six deep, walkin' back to granny's spot

(Back to granny's spot)

School in another district, so that's like eleven blocks

And on that walk is shooters, **** sellin' rocks and hella cops

(Hella cops)

Fast forward ten years later, man, that shit ain't never stopped

(Man, that shit ain't never stopped)

I became a product, all my **** sellin' products (Japan)

Growin' up they want them dollas (Dollas)

Birthday without no fathers (That's fucked up)

And I had my dad so, I couldn't really understand they pain

You don't need to see his face but you got that **** name

And my problem with my pops is just we don't communicate

I see his face all the time, but it's just hi and bye

He know I love him, that's my ****, I ain't gotta lie (Ain't gotta lie)

But you can't give a bird his wings and teach him how to fly (I can't)

I'm hard body, heavy thinker, I'ma handle mine (I'ma handle mine)

He taught me that, I'll give him that, yeah I'ma handle mine

(I'ma handle mine)

****, I was sixteen, livin' like a grown man (Like a grown man)

Never needed nobody, ****, I'm my own man (I'm my own man)

And my momma loved me for it, she tell me she proud of me

I always had it in me, she like how I brought it out of me

She stay right by my side, back when everybody doubted me

They thought that I would end up in the pen or the county see

(What, what about it?)

But now I'm in a penthouse suite on the balcony

I used to think a million was for everybody (Everybody)

You gonna grow up and have a house, that life for everybody

(Should be for everybody)

But wait, just one rich person can't take care of everybody (What?)

(The world is) The world is filled with pain (Yeah)

The world is filled with pain (Oh)

The world is filled with pain (It's filled with pain, pain, pain, pain)

The world is filled with pain (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Man, I used to post up early morning soon as I woke up (Ay)

Went to sleep at four something, skip breakfast, swishers and donuts

(Hold up)

With the same ****, everyday the same shit (Everyday, the same shit)

War with the same suckers, fuckin' on the same bitches (Damn)

Then a thought came to my head that said, "You gotta expand"

(You got to)

You passed the ball enough, it's time to keep the rock in your hand

(Got to)

I know all the pressure, like you got the block in your hands

Can't forget about 'em, yeah I know that Rock was your man (God bless)

But can't forget your sister, mother, brother, pops and your grams

Don't owe nobody shit, the lifestyle come after the fam

I may never leave my brothers that's for life, the block is my fam, damn

Who I sacrificing for? The block or my fam? (Damn)

But anyway I miss my **** (Miss my ****)

So, that's why I'm gettin' twisted

I don't sip the liquor (Nah)I'm just high pourin' sixes

(Leanin')And I'm round with my forty-five (Round with my forty-five)

'Cause I ain't tryna end up victim of a homicide (Nah)

Not my momma cryin'

The world is filled with pain (Yeah) (The world's filled with pain)

The world is filled with pain (Oh)

The world is filled with pain (It's filled with pain, pain, pain, pain)

The world is filled with pain (With pain, yeah)

Understand that I can relate to everything that you sayin'

Because I grew up just like you

It was me and my lil' brother, pops, OG, and momma's too

My grandfather, one auntie, two uncles, and they children too

All them people under one roof, but we took that and we made do

Back in the day my folks had cake, so people thought that we was on

But truth be told shit more than half of that was gone 'fore I was born

Three years old, that's when moms and pops relationship was torn

Them not fuckin' with each other made me father my lil' brothers

From the city to the burbs, we was goin' back and forth

So I was in and out of schools, lived everywhere but West and North

Eating pork and beans and noodles, not by choice but more so force

Till one day I told myself, "I can't continue on this course"

Now let's speed it up, 2005 I came back to the hood

Started hustlin' lil' packs and everything was going good

Plus I had my own gun so, I wished a **** would

Try to take anything from me, I'd have left him where he stood

I grew out that state of mind, the games I was playing was kiddie

Yeah, here comes 2009 all I hear is you and Bibby

I had faith in y'all, but who'd a thought y'all take over the city?

Used to feel like y'all forgot about or just wasn't fuckin' with me

I was rappin' at the time, but y'all was puttin' in that work

And I ain't even gonna lie, when y'all took off shit I was hurt

'Cause I expected a handout, that's where I fucked up first

But I thank y'all 'cause y'all the reason I go cray on every verse

(The world is filled with pain) The world is filled with pain (Yeah)

The world is filled with pain (Oh)

The world is filled with pain (It's filled with pain, pain, pain, pain)

The world is filled with pain (With pain)

I just wanna smile, I just wanna ball

I just wanna do it all, I just wanna leave (I wanna leave)

I just wanna smile, I just wanna ball

I just wanna do it all, I just wanna leave (I think 'bout it everyday)

I just wanna smile, I just wanna ball

I just wanna do it all, I just wanna leave (I wanna ball)

I just wanna smile, I just wanna ball

I just wanna do it all, I just wanna leave (So much pain, so much pain)

The world is filled with pain

The world is filled with pain (I know you feel me, you gotta feel me)

(Please feel me) The world is filled with pain

(It's filled with pain, pain, pain, pain)

The world is filled with pain

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
