Pain

[Intro]

Ow, okay, long-awaited, highly-anticipated

The new album, "Desire", this is the mixtape

Pharoahe Monch in your area, Clinton Sparks

Boogie Blind, what's good?

We gon' get it, let's go

[Verse 1]

So much pain, it's never the pain of a migraine

But the pain of a million slaves slain

And they speak to me, God talks through me

If I'm offending your religion or race, now sue me

Are these the profound words of a prophet for sure?

Does Christopher Wallace play chess with 2Pac Shakur?

We're on the other side of lost souls cryin'

My third eye relies on faith, I keep fire lights

Spirit slash math, on a path to Mount Zion

Hexcel, blow the bell-horse to keep ridin'

My thoughts psychotic at times, who will support it?

Will I ever discuss life with my seed that was aborted?

Does my spirit gets absorbed in a tape when they record it

That's the reason why emcees' lives get shorted

Salvation's worth more than platinum and gold, can you afford it?

It's morbid but I manifest pain and put it in orbit

[Bridge]

I said it's morbid

It's like the other day

I just took the gun from underneath the bed

And... put the barrel to my head

I was just too afraid to pull the trigger, I...

You know it...

[Hook] [x2]

You know it's pain

When you can't see the sun from the rain

You know it's pain

When there's fire in your eyes and you can't see

You know it's pain

When you get down on your knees and pray

You know it's pain

When misery's your only friend

[Outro]

Talk to 'em, Pharoahe
