"pain"
  by jamal


Rain beatin on my head harder than an 808
Lookin to the sky please lord take tha pain away
Smokin a blunt while prayin some call it sacrilige
I say fuck what u call it I just need 2 talk 2 him
Cuz I'm an untamed beast 2 big for a chain
I'm so fuckin selfconscious it made me vain
Wanted to be fly so I built my own plane
Land at logan they gave me my own lane
Talkin to GOD he told me to be humble
Under my breath I mumbled
I was buried underneath tha bricks and concrete
And I rose up like tha phoenix to spit straight heat
He spoke again sayin behind my slick smile
Is an emotionally sick child
Who tried to escape for tha pain of his parents passin away
At an early age
Learned that people will respond to you if you act a certain way
He even called me an addict not strung out on a substance
But addicted to pain so I vow never to love again
Because the ones I love leave me one way or another
I'm Karen's baby boy but I'm forgetting tha face of my mother
And after he told me about my self
I just stood in tha rain blunt hangin outta my mouth
With tha rain beatin on me like an 808
I looked to tha sky and begged GOD to take away tha pain

"I was buried underneath tha bricks and concrete And I rose up like tha phoenix to spit straight heat"---them was dope ass lines "He spoke again sayin behind my slick smile Is an emotionally sick child"---though my parents didnt pass away i feel some relation to those words as my parents were addicts and alcoholics and put that shit above me on the most important list so in a way...i was alone..always have been always will be.. "I looked to tha sky and begged GOD to take away tha pain"---damn i ...
