Pain

Like Pac up in the mornings gotta ask myself Is life worth living should I blast myself? But then again I'm thinking what the hell's to gain? I ain't the only motherfucker who been feeling pain Got a homie turn his back on blood Got another homie gave his fucking life to drugs But no running tears I'm a broken system I'm tryna hold my fucking pieces together while partner up in prison I saw his face in them papers and it just broke my heart I saw the story but didn't believe it from the start They tried to give my brother life I call bullshit How many white folks did it take to pull this? Just think of all the people that should listen Couldn't say I understand cause' that's just a place I never been in And I know way too many out to tell And I ain't gotta hear they stories or see them brothers to know it's hell From day one that ain't no place to go And I got too many problems and I ain't tryna add no fucking more It's pretty hard to find myself on this land I got the face of a boy but the mind of a man I'm from a city full of dirty streets Where the only nigga that I can trust is I myself and me I thank my folks just for guiding me right Or should I say I learned from them what not to do in my life (Well) We all hurt so we suppress with alcohol and drugs Got us working like bug catchers we catching slugs It ain't no time to even fool around They used to bring it to the block Now they shooting up the public grounds It's like damn Where's the love? Sometimes I wonder if he even really watching above (Cause) It's like the violence just won't ever cease We at a war with each other and got a war against the police How we divided when the same sun raised us? We used to save ourselves first before them white folks saved us I'm so convinced I been knew that my country an act I rose up hearing that I'm free but been feeling like I been fucking trapped My soul weeps for them boys and little girls Who get kidnapped then passed around the world And that's some shit I find hard not to think about We under cameras and drones yet we can't figure out But nowadays I just stay my mind Because believe me When I say that trouble ain't too hard to find And if you smile at me I can't return it I had to freeze up my heart in order for a nigga to preserve it And at an early age I had to learn it No matter who you are you gonna feel some pain when you don't deserve it And no matter which a way you hurting It's always someone out there doing worse Pain
