Pain

(album: Poet - 2014)

[Hook:]
Hard times come, can you stand the pain?
Can you stand the pain?
Would you take the knife, take away yo life
Cut off everything? Can you take the pain?
People stab you in the back
Keep think yo own friend will do you like that
Can you stand the pain? Lose yo family
Your friends to the game?
They neva coming back. Can you stand the pain?

[Verse 1:]
Pain hurt like aw, pocket full of painkillers on me right now
Did you pass the bar? Naha. Can you judge me? Naha
People deal with pain in different ways
Drinking prexolene all day, smoke and Patrone
Drinking my kush, I don't know if I'm coming or going
I'm in pain, shout out to my lil' nigga
He die on that brother sugar
They listen to me, I give 'em hope
H.O.P.E. (what's that?) acronym
Hold On Pain Ends. That's what I tell 'em
I tell 'em maintain
Let all your pain be champagne

[Hook:]
Hard times come, can you stand the pain?
Can you stand the pain?
Would you take the knife, take away yo life
Cut off everything? Can you take the pain?
People stab you in the back
Keep think yo own friend will do you like that
Can you stand the pain? Lose yo family
Your friends to the game?
They neva coming back. Can you stand the pain?

[Verse 2:]
Paint my pain through my music, I'm a paint her
I'm a poet. Look how thick I poet
I gain one at every war, own poe
The streets know it, I'm heroic (I'm not done)
The truth hurt, that's a hard pill to digest
No pain no progress
No complaints, no regrets
No tattoo, er'thing, I'm a pain freak
I swear the streets paint me
Bulletproof vests, life jackets, paint-e
You can drown in that water
Niggas been found in that water
I know niggas hooked in that water
They say that neither make the pain go away
Growing up hard, gotta bet the odds
I'm in pain, everyday sinning, green dots that hurt my life
(Free my niggas!) Grandpa pass, he left grandma a widow
I'm on the roll, she getting old, wish I was wid her
If I can get my momma to put down that drink
I'd do everything, anything
But it's extratex to the price I pay
Thought it would be painless
Thought it would be painless
But it's painful, the streets untamed
Can you stand the pain?

[Hook:]
Hard times come, can you stand the pain?
Can you stand the pain?
Would you take the knife, take away yo life
Cut off everything? Can you take the pain?
People stab you in the back
Keep think yo own friend will do you like that
Can you stand the pain? Lose yo family
Your friends to the game?
They neva coming back. Can you stand the pain?
