Came From Pain (feat. Milrock Gwap) [Remix]

Who the one teaching us guidance who preparing us for the war

And if we get caught then who the one teaching silence why we behaving so violent

Who that that taught us it's a must that we bomb on our tyrants

Where are the people just like us where we learned balance

How can I talk to you business yet still blend in with the lifers some lessons installed since in diapers

We was just slaves to them yesterday and whipped to our knees for knowing to read

Then they gave us a bible and let us pray the things you don't see

Because of they greed they're taught to just conquer us

Separate skin tone and gender adults and the children

It still takes a village to elevate

If you give me a second I'll educate you on a history lesson

We don't own no boats so we didn't bring that coke

We don't make no medal they giving me weapons

I can't thank no white lord for my life

Thank my ancestors for giving me blessings

Sending me spirits through all of these years

And casting them spells to keep me protected

And helping them demons to keep me neglected

We all survive under pressure

When it come from pain in the ghetto

It's some things you'll never let go

Like how to survive under pressure

We all survive under pressure

From the pains in the ghetto

We came from pain

Man I came from pain you hear the choir sang

I swear to god I seen a lot of rain

Lost nine people just this year I'm still shocked that I'm not insane

I'm tryna change but it's not a thang

For me to go and let that choppa rang

Growing up I was martin **** still look like me but I'm momma payne

I was in the cold dog outta work the streets is hard but it got its perks

My name is money cause ain't a thing funny

These cops would think that we ain't got no worth

It's a home game but this not our turf

You want respect it takes power first

So many **** living in that dirt shit you woulda thought that we was renting earth

No bnbs just b and e's I was a lil dog you know pekingese

I was losing it but had the grip with me Ima stand up **** can't sit with me

If it don't kill you it make you stronger so I must be made out of vibranium

Kept that iron on me so long that I probably piss out titanium

Yeah that's how we survive **** u shoot or you die

Put that on two five man I wouldn't lie yeah

Like how to survive under pressure

We all survive under pressure

From the pains in the ghetto

We came from pain

Look all my life I had to fight for the things I don't got

So imagine the things I do got

And all these years of tryna search for the person I am

Just to find out who I'm not

And I envisioned all the things Imma see at the top

It's everything I've dreamed about

But these crooked crackers tryna put a **** in a box

The same one I'm thinking out of

They tripping you'll never catch me slipping

I'm different I will never fall victim to no system

If you got an ounce of wisdom in yo brain you better pay attention and listen

My ancestors sent me down here to go to work I'll die for my bosses

My failed attempts made me the man who I am bitch I'll die for me losses

Do you understand the pain of riding with your gang and you see death often

And your enemies are tryna make a name out your vain they'll blow a hole in your coffin

Please proceed with caution using these crimes to disrespect us

Like slavery was much better tell them white folk to hold that lecture

We all survived under pressure

When it come from pain in the ghetto

It's some things you'll never let go

Like how to survive under pressure

We all survive under pressure

From the pains in the ghetto

We came from pain
