No Pain (If You Wanna Write)

If you wanna write, better write like a madman You don't need a plan, just leave it up to chance 'Cause nobody's sane when their mind is unchained so If you wanna write, better write through the pain, 'cause No pain, no frame of mind Oh nobody's ever learned just passing the time And you wonder why, when you've never done crimes You don't know what it's like at the end of the line But you've got a gift, imagination, time So put in the work, listen to the other side Listen to the other side, man Nobody asked to be born, never asked for the warmth Of the sun on their newborn face, but you've gotta understand We don't have the same chances of life on the lam Some are born with a plan (Do you have a plan? Do you know the plan?) Some are born with a plan You were born with a plan, but If you wanna write, better write like a madman Know it sounds crazy, do what you can 'Cause lives are on the line, listen to the other side Doesn't make sense to you now, give a little time 'til you Know the pain, know the frame of mind Then you'll understand the twist inside of all of their rhymes And you'll know the life that you've been deprived And you'll turn the page on the so-called bad guy (The so-called bad guy, the so-called bad guy) Know the skin you're in, know the life you've lived Know the suffering you've faced has led you to this Look into my eyes and I'll give you my sight If you'll give me yours we can push off the flatline We can push off the flatline No pain, no frame of mind Oh nobody's ever learned just passing the time Oh there's time Is there time? There's no time No pain, no gain, no pain, no frame, no pain, no no If you wanna write, if you wanna write, if you wanna write, if you wanna write, do it
