[Intro] Pain... [Verse 1] All I know is pain, all I seen is d**h Couple homies and brother gone, when I'm gon' step I ain't suicidal, damn, my brain need rest Think about my childhood, pain in my chest Past is the past, future ain't great All right in the hood, when any day could be my last Pop something back, they wanna sue me for my math Hawk some back, they wanna sue me for my math Hard bein a gangsta rapper, you don't know the half You ain't got to condone it but you was never homeless And you ain't never fast, so you don't know the wrath To taking a long walk, down the wrong path All I know is pain, everything I did wrong I did it in vain, that's why I'm tryna change Live for my seeds but the game ain't change Only the strong survive, I will maintain [Hook] (The Alchemist) All I know is pain, all I get is pain All I give is pain, all I live is pain Only thing I know is mad years in the game (It's no love, ice cold blood running all through my veins) All I know is pain, all I get is pain All I give is pain, all I live is pain Only thing I know is mad years in the game (It's more than rhymes, more shine than the diamonds on your chain) [Verse 2] What you know about pain?
