[Verse One: Unknown Hero]
I know these streets like the back of my hand
Familiar lands, I couldn't withstand
Going in the stores just to steal
Just to get my next f**ing meal
Never had much money cause I blew it all on d**
Always on the block kicking it with thugs
I still try to face my regrets
But when I meet d**h, it's anyone's guess
In need of help and a friend to care
Extending my hand but no one was there
Life's not fair so I indulge in sin
Call on my connects and let this pain just end
We all have a story but I own this one
Rest in Peace Mum, from your son
I got worse when you left this Earth
Now tears just flow when you're in my verse
[Hook: PFV]
This pain, this pain
Washing away
Get paid a better day
[Verse Two: Hallow Assa**in]
I'm tired of the pain everyday
It's constantly the same
I write rhymes and smoke Mary Jane to keep me sane
If it weren't for this lifestyle
I'd have nowhere to turn
I'm rapping for the love not about the money I earn
When a problem arises I work through it
Even if I'm lacking energy I motivate myself to spit
Honestly, music friends and weed is all I need
I'm satisfied with what I have but I'm still hungry to achieve
Because I follow what I choose to f**ing believe
Be careful if you've been deceived
I'm only stating facts that eye can see
So go ahead and take this pain and just let it
[Hook: PFV]
This pain, this pain
Washing away
Get paid a better day
[Verse Three: Kayncee]
There are so many clichés in these songs about pain
We've heard it all before, it's becoming as common as rain
And yes, that last line was meant to be predictable
I guess, I'm subliminally emphasising how I'm steering away from the typical
I've dealt with a lot of pain in my life
But no one really cares about my friends who've died
And people don't care about the countless sleepless nights
Or how my mind has been peace deprived
But I'm still here, I've made it this far already
So far I haven't stabbed myself with a machete
But if you were in my shoes, you'd feel just how heavy
The load is that I carry every day its hefty
Carrying this weight all alone
Can't trust anyone, that the one rule carved in stone
Cause it was learnt the hard way, through harsh days
Hours spent wishing I could be far away
[Hook: PFV]
This pain, this pain
Washing away
Get paid a better day
