Feel Your Pain

[Intro] Another day another dollar, that I don't fucking got Sold a bunch of records and I'm still broke Couple bitches in my pocket Couple kids that I love to death So really what I got to be mad at? [Verse 1] My life is waking up to sunshine from darker scenes History repeats itself Spark a dutch, start to lean My heart could buss, I wanna scream, reaching far extremes Desperation Bout to spark a fiend like Charlie Sheen I stay stressed, paychecks are few and far between I've worked for years, so I'ma persevere despite how hard it seems I'm just a starvin' artist I don't market dreams Or talk at teens with garbage, see, I'm focused on a larger scheme The scheme I'm focused on goes beyond just being paid A culture born before the VMA's and pop shit being played Angel on my shoulder Fighting what the demons crave Presence felt and still respect myself when I leave the stage But in recent days I'm left in hell with seeds to raise And can't seem to trade an honest living for a decent wage I watch the local news, or on occasion read a page Seen policeman's strays kill a kid when D's squeezed the gauge Fuck is wrong with people? We should be enraged But the fact remains we act the same and aren't even phased We'd rather drink away the pain and smoke the greenest haze Lord if you exist please forgive me for my evil ways They'd have us all believe the phrase 'Streets are paved with gold' Disappointment left the pistol pointed, bout to take our souls So as the paper folds I pray that I can take control Before the present day becomes the days of old and ancient scrolls [Hook x1] I don't see the light, is anybody there? I wanna leave this life, does anybody care? Can anyone relate? Do you feel the same? Cause the only way I know I'm alive is feeling pain When life becomes a struggle - I can feel your pain Broke as fuck tryna hustle - I can feel your pain Making doe but o double - I can feel your pain That describes my own behavior, maybe I can motivate ya [Verse 2] Every night is sleepless Cause everyday I'm broke Bout to drown in debt, treading water, tryna stay afloat I just listen to these politicians, taking notes Wages don't see raises close to the rate of inflation's growth I'd like to thank the snakes who post up in a masons cloak They provoke the rage in this page full of famous quotes I'd also like to aim the scope at em' as they approach My logic is to find the positives in what I hate the most My fans got a taste for dope, so here's a fatal dose There's more to gain when it's pouring rain, absorb the pain and cope Don't let it slow you down Don't let it break your hopes Make a toast to fakes and rub it in their face like shaving soap Today I woke up to a note my baby mother signed Then I was forced to read the words this evil bird had underlined She said "I'm leaving you" I've seen this view a hundred times But if she thinks she'll take my son away, she's out her fucking mind! We're gonna shine despite the turning of deceitful tides Full of secret lies, beneath our pride, where the demons hide If I could do it over, I'd still let the semen fly Cause if I didn't, difference is, Kingston wouldn't be alive And while she smokes my weed supply I'm here screaming "Why the fuck do I even try? Bitch, leave the keys and slide!" Reaching deep inside to find the strength I need to rise up from underneath this cunt's deceit So be it, fine [Hook x1]
