Pain


Shit hurt ibuprofen can't heal the pain

Love is a gamble and I ain't play the game

Tryin stay afloat but we still on the slave ship

The waters crazy man better not lose your grip
 
Taking the power back we raging against the machine
 
Lyrically inclined I'm only nineteen
 
They say hard work pay offs
 
We been grinding our whole life but we never madoff 
 
We still shooting trying to get our j's off 
 
But we can't all be ballers we quit school tryin to be shotcallers
but hey anything to get the dollars
 
Cuz dead presidents make the world go round 
 
And I got rozay pockets and I'm home bound 
 
I ain't sleeping but my eyes closed now 
 
These dreams helping me write these flows now 
 
Curtains falling but I ain't bow down 
 
This ain't basketball I never fade away
 
This won't be over till i make god pray
