No Pain

[Chorus] We don't need no pain So wash them tears away And though we bleed the same (Ooh, yeah) So, now, wash them tears away Said, we don't need no pain [Verse 1] Seven steps to heaven, but you're trippin' on the first one Mama bawl out when the bullet hit her first son Tired of this world, think we need another version Too many bombs and military incursions This is our prayer for the ones that been muted Deaf to our cryin', can't fix it with no Q-Tip Everybody choosin' desires over beauty Evil is bloomin' and money's where it's rooted So spread your wings and get ready to fly To a place where pain is just a memory, yeah Said it's no biggie and I'm ready to die The grave digger have them space in the cemetery So just listen to me properly when me a tell you this Get it in your head, say them system set up fi prejudice When we warrin', the rich man seek the benefit Them no business 'bout the blood when we're sheddin' it [Chorus] We don't need no pain So wash them tears away And though we bleed the same So, now, wash them tears away [Verse] Father, I'm still sorry Sorry I ain't on and off All that I see is war here There's bombs where the kids are growin' up Bullets keep you awake She couldn't wash out the stains, oh, Lord There's blood on the leaves again And if only I was never changed And father, we're still hungry Starvin' with no clear way out All that I see's money The money don't hear you callin' out Bullets keep you awake She couldn't wash out the stains, oh, Lord (Oh-oh-oh) Pray your wings take you away [Chorus] Said we don't need no pain (No pain) So wash them tears away (Away) And though we bleed the same So, now, wash them tears away (Away, away) Said we don't need no pain [Verse 3] Ninety-nine problems, L is not an option Heart got colder, goose came custom Wolf, sheep clothin', still can't trust 'em Who fell, Grenfell, what that cost 'em? They said change was gon' come (Huh?) Change for who? Change for why? Been worked hard, I've had enough now I need none of this here when I touch down Youngers wilding, death toll rising Young, them violent, no surprise when Youth club shut down, funding cut down Police cut down, who helps us now? They can never penetrate the passion Or the pedigree Thick skin, that gon' get me smilin' Through the jealousy Distance, took the longer road 'Cause I was meant for this [Chorus] Well, we don't need no pain (We don't need no pain, no) So wash them tears away (We don't need no pain, no) And though we bleed the same So, now, wash them tears away
