Pain Talk

(album: Boy Meets World - 2023)

You're the highlight of my dreams when I go to sleep
I don't wanna wake up for nothing
Everytime I dream I think I found peace
(Great John on the beat, by the way!)
Then I wake up and feel like I can't

Still smoke a pack to the face
Getting high only way to escape
Even when I be feeling a way
I'ma tell 'em, "I'm doing okay"
Like, don't say you love me when I'm in the grave
Don't you act like you feeling my pain
When I took an L, it was part of the game
As a man, all you got is your name

Feel like me and the judge in a race
If I crash, she gon' lock me away
Got a Perc', I might pop it today
Said I'd stop, but I'm stuck in my ways
And I work like I'm tryna get a raise
She said, "If you loved me, then you would've stayed"
I know what she feeling, that's played
I ain't really tryna bring you pain
Would you love me if I was a lame?
That mean minus the watch and the chain
Had no car, had to walk in the rain
Bentley truck, but you get what I'm saying
Getting money, don't care for the fame
EBK, we don't care what you claim
Got no license, let's go on a chase
I be switching and swerving the lane
Double X tried to get me, too late
I said no 'cause I found that shit strange
Don't be lacking out here, it ain't safe
Take an L, you get hit with a K
Niggas hate it when you getting cake
Wish you could, but you couldn't relate
'Member me and big bro in the Wraith
Thinking back, we was looking for stains
Can't believe I was asking for change
Can't believe that this shit really changed
In the trap, we was flipping them things
Silly rabbit, them tricks for the gang
And my shooters ain't been in no range
Double-back like we putting in pain
If you with it, then do what you saying
Made your bed and now you gotta lay

Ain't nobody think Tjay'll stick, couldn't pay 'em no mind, I know
Industry won't acknowledge my gift, so fuck 'em niggas, I'm just here for my dough
First time getting six figures on stage, checkbooks looking like there's a typo
Woke up one day, my pockets was flat, the next day look like I just gave 'em lipo
Love the guys, but ain't never needed gang, just me with it, ISO
Off the top when I spit it, shit be flames, más o menos, so that's how the price go
In the line like they watching how I move
Out the streets, but them trenches still approve
Love my fans, but you see me, keep it smooth
We at war right now, I ain't tryna lose
Soothe, soothe, see a threat, he get left up on the news
I got shot in my neck, that shit could've went left, mama look still upset, ain't shit to prove
For them pussy boys, they know what we do, I be doing it better, be the same
Said he jet, when I see that boy, he flew, DrillyK, this shit never finna change

Gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang, gang, gang
Gang, gang
Gang, gang
Gang, gang

Still smoke a pack to the face
Getting high only way to escape
Even when I be feeling a way
I'ma tell 'em, "I'm doing okay"
Like, don't say you love me when I'm in the grave
Don't you act like you feeling my pain
When I took an L, it was part of the game
As a man, all you got is your name
