De La Soul - Pain lyrics

Pain will make you better Tell me how you feel Look over your shoulder Time will make it real Give me no excuses I know how ya feel Pain will make it better Pain will make it better Pain will make it better Let me see how many palms go up high If you've ever felt the world had you licked (put 'em up high) And what you waving side to side to symbolize Needing help on the sand 'fore you under quick Big mama said "the Devil's up to no good" But we can heal it on a Sunday with a good book (but) Oft we deal it on a Monday for a good look (and) Make it part of the campaign, to withstand pain Me, myself, place it all on my shoulders And give it my all, like heavy lifting No gain without tears and sweat They claim blue skies with white clouds, steady drifting When pain come to get ya (it hit ya like flu) Better times will pick ya (do what you gotta do) To earn focus in the stormy weather Come out the tunnel to the light saying Pain will make you better Tell me how you feel Look over your shoulder Time will make it real Give me no excuses I know how ya feel Pain will make you better (yeah) Pain will make it better (oh whoa whoa ah) (I hear the people say) pain will make it better (oh whoa whoa ah) (I hear my people say) pain will make it better No wetter, four-letter, mo' better Slow pain, no gain, go getta Change like the weather Solid as a rock, small piece of leather But well put together Flames are endeavors Time to find out that game makes it better Pain makes it better Shades of epiphany, can't let it get to me Move so differently, do it so swiftly Ease into my style, lay mine down King be crowned, look at me now Teaching my cla**es by the ma**es Used to gang bang, used to love the clashes Now cash is the only motivation, but not for me G I'm into public relations That's food for your De La Soul, word to the letter Pain will make you better Tell me how you feel Look over your shoulder Time will make it real Give me no excuses I know how ya feel Pain will make it better (yeah) Pain will make it better (oh whoa whoa ah) (I heard my nana say it, say it) Yo, the bigger the headache, bigger the pill The harder you fall, stronger the will We came from the back of the bus Talking "Watch the mobile," now we're on a house on a hill The struggle went from filling ya gas tank The bank wasn't feeling your loan The OT couldn't cover the bills And life came with a couple of spills But we're gonna use that pain fo' fuel so Give me no excuses I know how ya feel Pain will make it better (yeah) Pain will make it better (oh whoa whoa ah) (I hear the people say) pain will make it better (oh whoa whoa ah) (You hear my people saying) pain will make it better (oh whoa whoa ah) (I hear the people say) pain will make it better (oh whoa whoa ah) Pain will make it better (oh whoa whoa ah) Pain will make it better (oh whoa whoa ah) Pain will make it better
