With Life Comes Pain

[Verse 1] Yeah, I was born 'n' raised in the hood I learnt the hard way that life wasn't always good I just sucked at basketball, I couldn't win a cup And then the other guys would come and beat me up My childhood was very hard People wouldn't get off my yard And then, when I was just 18 I killed that nigga named Dean That made my life so bad The guilt made me so sad And I spent 5 years in prison They didn't understand the reason But I got past that Of course, with some help from Matt But that showed me how things were More bad things would occur So I grew up expecting more shit Suicide? That's something I wouldn't commit Cuz I could see, life wasn't easy But it was, sometimes, good and breezy So I didn't give up I kept going, with attitude, yup More bad things happened But I didn't give a fuck Cuz good things happened too So I thought I had a bit of luck It looked like everything would get good I was moving uptown, leaving behind the hood But then I started with dope It took away all my hope I became a junkie I was high like a monkey And with that I learned a lesson You gotta know that [Hook] With life comes pain Come into my reign Get here by plane It is known by your brain That with life comes pain Some things you lose, others you gain Accept that, or you'll go insane Have a glass of champagne Just deal with it, with life comes pain [Verse 2] So I was rich Bitch Soon I'd begin my life as an adult I was scared with what'd be the result But then I had to serve the Army I went there full of fear I sensed a war was very near I wasn't ready to kill men No, not again It was such a bad thing Now I rap, I don't sing I had to help my people But killing didn't follow my principle That shit was fucking wrong I thought I wouldn't stand it for long But I kept being promoted And so I became more devoted I led my armies to victory But this was all contradictory I looked like I was good But I didn't really feel good I felt a lot of pain Like if I were hit by a train My heart ached I didn't want to see chicks naked Tears were seen all over my face I wanted to get away from that place Fucking Big War One I thought I was done Fucking Big War Two It taught me something new I learnt it there Not only pain is a mask you wear But it is present all along If it ain't there, something's wrong Yeah, anyway [Hook] With life comes pain Come into my reign Get here by plane It is known by your brain That with life comes pain Some things you lose, others you gain Accept that, or you'll go insane Have a glass of champagne Just deal with it, with life comes pain [Verse 3] Out of the war I didn't want to live anymore Yeah, I had the glory But people didn't know the whole story How it hurt me to fire every shot How when I had to kill I wished I could just say "notnot" But that was now past Years passed by fast The pain wouldn't go away I wasn't Cla-Clay, I was Pain-Clay My friends couldn't understand I needed a magic wand I didn't want drugs Or boose I gave a fuck bout my thugs They had to learn to lose I was losing myself I didn't wanna read the books on my shelf I was getting used to the pain But then some good things came I regained hope I totally quit dope But hope shattered like little pieces I got problems with all kinds of polices The depression was hard to get rid of This part of my life was really rough But time stops for nothing So the clock kept ticking And I kept living The pain didn't matter Maybe one day it'd get better I just went on And now I'm here, moron I guess that's all, niggas Just be sure to know [Hook] With life comes pain Come into my reign Get here by plane It is known by your brain That with life comes pain Some things you lose, others you gain Accept that, or you'll go insane Have a glass of champagne Just deal with it, with life comes pain
