Tsotsi - Hokage Tower (Pain) lyrics

[Verse 1: Tsotsi] Hokage tower, top of my game, smoke in my mouth, nothing to say Regret on my brain, a decision was made, I gave you a spade, you continued to play Gave you the land, but you wanted a lake Gave you the world, you continued to take Brought you a steak, with my heart on the plate Well done to the eyes, but the taste was wasn't great First sight it was love, but it wasn't with me Showed all the signs, but you never could see Blind to the obvious, mind is oblivious Love isn't frivolous, that's my belief To combat all the pain, I would choke on the leaf Hidden in sand and concealed in the trees Everyday it was golden, with you on your knees You came around often and blew like the breeze Burns on my levis, and weed on my jeans You know I'm a liar, I play for the scene Play for the part, I'm an actor to start I'll act calm around Feds, then at home I'm a fiend Change the verses and hooks, hymns in the book I'm preaching a sermon to vermin and crooks I'm a prophet of lies and I've never confessed That's why God made my talent get so overlooked [Hook: Tsotsi] If I smoke all this dope will the pain go away On top of hokage tower with nothing to say (x2) [Verse 2: Tsotsi] On top of Hokage Tower, blowing smoke off the roof And dropping acid until the rain melts into the mind of the youth I'm telling the truth I don't know sh**, but Danzo is the government He's got eyes everywhere, so it's troubling But my bloodline is royal, so I'm on some Hyuga sh** Tell me the truth, do you love me, is my sh** good, am I ugly Are my rhymes hot, are my beats nice, do I look like a n***a that loves life Well I don't, I'm an optimistic pessimist So I'm happy about cutting wrists, look at this We all die, consumed by the sandstorm (Snowstorm) n***as would end a life just to get his hands warm To get bands for him, he would leave a heart torn Leave his mom locked with a face of scorn k**ing babies out the crib a soon as their born So tell me [Hook: Tsotsi] If I smoke all this dope will the pain go away On top of hokage tower with nothing to say (x2)
