Pain

A.G.:

"I used to live in the fast lane like Chamberlain was my last name

Ball hard like every game is my last game

I know pain, know crack cocaine

That flow through my nephew's veins, he's only six

Phony chicks kill my vibe

So I tied the knot, now hip-hop is my only bitch

I'm feelin bitter cause they said I killed my nigga

But I'mma force white men to call me mister

This is history, one of the best in this century

But Vibe and XXL don't mention me

On our grind, overtime, fuck the nonsense

Punch the clock so much it's unconscious

Put the pen to the pad let it do it for me

Writing is like fucking and this rhyme's an orgy

One of my older had's that came before me

Said you don't reach your glory

Than it's just history"

Chorus:

(OC & AG): PAIN

Something we all deal with

(OC & AG):Inside, proof that we're alive, so you gotta feel the pain

Something we all deal with

(OC & AG):Inside, we take it in stride, learn to survive, with the pain

Something we all deal with

(OC & AG):Inside, the reason for our drive, we acknowledge all the pain

... and we'll never let it go...

O.C.:

"Everyday struggles

Move at the speed of a shuttle in a traffic jam - things are slow

A while back I told my brother Show

Within my soul I had suicidal thoughts, I was ready to go

All at once the weight of pain swooped down on my brain

Followed by uncontrollable cryin - thought I was goin insane

I fell to my knees, the type to never show weakness

My dude had a grievance, peep it

We haven't talked for two years, out the loop I was buggin

Figured I had to do what I do

Career on hold, my paper got low

So-called friends from my hood to me are now foes

Demons front and center gets nasty like a microwave dinner

Wifey's diagnosed with a physical dilemma

I try to stay strong by refusin to fall

So mentally I need to lean with my back up against a wall"

Chorus:

(OC & AG): PAIN

Something we all deal with

(OC & AG):Inside, proof that we're alive, so you gotta feel the pain

Something we all deal with

(OC & AG):Inside, we take it in stride, learn to survive, with the pain

Something we all deal with

(OC & AG):Inside, the reason for our drive, we acknowledge all the pain

... and we'll never let it go...
