Pain
If pain was a person,
Then I would be her
All this madness in my head,
Iโm searching for a cure
Through smoke, coke and injections,
Itโs my family that Iโm affecting
Iโm the one who is regretting
All my mistakes and flaws
I had to stand tall
Was taught never to fall
To all my haters
โBless all of yโallโ
Iโm still here
Through all the tears
Still doing years
Behind bars
Was it worth it
The money and all them shiny cars?
โHell noโ
Just at that point in my life,
I didnโt know which way to go
Everyoneโs love was just for show
It was an easy way to the dough
Wouldnโt you know.
Ainโt that the way life sometimes goes?
Looking at my past
Wondering how long Iโm gonna last
To make amends
To my family and very few friends
I want my life peaceful
When it comes to an end
But from here
Is where my new life begins
I will defeat this monster
I promise, I will win!
