Pain

(album: What's Understood - 2019)

(Gotta feel my pain, gotta feel my pain, gotta feel my pain)

Yeah, at a young age we had to go through some things, stuck in the cage
Looking for ways tryna get out of a maze, turning the page
Spend a lil' while where I was born and raised, struggling and played
Thankful I'm homemade
It taught me not to be afraid
Living life is a holiday
Talk to God like it's finest day
Cross 'em up and make 'em fall away
Glad I never gave the ball away
Changed my name, I was Cassius Clay
In the pocket like a passing play
Stayed down when I had a way
Don't care when I graduate, yeah

Look at the city we living in
Gotta keep going, no giving in
Switching on me like Aunt Vivian
Never thought you would be turning on me and the whole team
Had to keep the faith and now I'm living out my whole dream

So put your hand up in the sky-y-y, up in the sky, oh
One day we gotta say bye-ye-ye, gotta say bye, oh
They don't believe I can fly-y-y, but I can fly, oh
Hah, feel like it's worth a try, I
Gotta heal my pain, gotta heal my pain
Gotta heal my pain, yeah-eah

Hurt no more
Wanna hurt no more
Had to pray for the pain to go
I ain't wanna end up alone
Tryna wait for the overflow
Come and join my rodeo
If you wanna go to and fro
At the top like a mistletoe, yeah-eah
They say the bigger the better (Bigger the better)
Hah, never say never
Gotta keep lifting your head up
Oh, when you fed up
Deep in that water, no Gilligan
Guess who came on that field again?
Lord, I just want the whole gang to win, amen
Vivian, oh, Vivian
Don't switch on me like Aunt Vivian
I'm with the army and Gideon
Dreads on me like I'm Caribbean
Please do not judge me, I'm innocent
I don't believe in coincidence
Stick to the goal with obedience
That's how you get the ingredients

Look at the city we living in
Gotta keep going, no giving in
Switching on me like Aunt Vivian
Never thought you would be turning on me and the whole team
Had to keep the faith and now I'm living out my whole dream

So put your hand up in the sky-y-y, up in the sky, oh
One day we gotta say bye-ye-ye, gotta say bye, oh
They don't believe I can fly-y-y, but I can fly, oh
Hah, feel like it's worth a try, I
Gotta heal my pain, gotta heal my pain
Gotta heal my pain, yeah-eah
Gotta heal my pain, gotta heal my pain
Gotta heal my pain

Ain't nothing change but the way I'm living my lifestyle
Buzzer beater, count down, right down
You ain't gotta worry, just pipe down
Gotta heal my pain, gotta heal my pain
Gotta heal my pain, yeah-eah
