Pain in my life...life...life
[The Game]
Check
From the grafitti in the pissy project hallways
To n***as hustling on the block
Settin up shop crack c**aine bottled up red tops
Youngins with the boombox lettin they head bop
My vision was blurred
Like the TV that them n***as in the feds watch
The hood is like a pitfall with corner liq stores
You sellin bricks all, you shoot a n***a
Get embraced by the big dawgs
It f**ed up skinny n***as get pick on till they buff up
Don't lift weights, shoot 38's
Load the clip pull the truck up
I been through it
Sittin in the block in that tan Buick
KRS in the speakers equivalent to Nas and Ether
That was 85, I was six
Couldn't wait to get home; sit in my father's lap
And watch a ???? flick
I'm from the old school these new school n***as bore me
Ain't got sh** for me
Shoulda been influenced by Calvin Broadus, Nasir Jones, and Sean Corey
I'm on the road to glory
By the time I don't had (so much pain in my life)
I shoulda k**ed myself
Smoked that crack c**aine and swallowed all them pills myself
I'm a legend D.O.C. said it
Hip hop is forever embedded inside my veins
And I'm takin my credit

(*"So much pain in my life"*)
You feel this pain I've been havin'
Wouldn't lead to much change
Cuz down here, not muched changed
Cause everbody wanna thug, mayn
(*"So much pain in my life"*)
If you knew the pain I sustained
Just from lettin' my gun bang
If you would pump your breaks young mayn
You'd jump in the other lane

Game I'm finding it harder for me to live with it
Thinkin bout getting on some religious sh**
They say religion is for degenerated
But if the church take away the hurt
Then damnit I need to get wit it
So much pain in my life
Cuz It's gotta be the devil
It's got us living probably below the poverty level
We could blame the whit man but then why do we settle
Collectively we could expect to see the lives in the ghetto
To be forever facin just d**h is a revelation
We could get on pace if we better the education
And make some real songs about more than just ballin and big ice
For something to get em to think twice
So much pain in my life
I feel for those who felt they didn't need they brothas
Now they teenage mothers
Care about the AIDS in Africa cuz we they brothas
Reguardless of how they portrayed I can see they love us
It bring pain in my life
To know that there's a whole f'n nation dyin cuz they can't afford medication
While we got the money to goto war
Not for something that was sure but for sh** that that was strictly just speculation

Dawg I'm stressed out
Sometime I be thikin God I'm ready to check out
I ain't lyin I be ready to come see you
It can't be worse than if I get caught with anotha heater
And I ride with those even though I done been to jail 4 times for those
In these streets I done seen too much
Too many people I love done had they f**in head bust
So much pain in my life
You don't know pain
You don't know bout losin yo life in a hurricane
Naw don't you don't know how it feel
To spend a weekend with em then yo daddy get k**ed
Pain in my life
I done been thru it all
Just think the whole Katrina took my city like a dog
I done been down but I'mma tell you what
A real n***a always find a way to get it done
