NH2 (Grins and Lies)

[Verse 1 - Open Mike Eagle] Can you feel my pain I had a bad life Got so much pain, I gotta ask twice The road's scary like there's black ice My uncle got married to a crack pipe Is you aunt white? I said no mane He just feels the ash pipe from the cocaine This ain't the fast life, it's the slow lane My cousin got caught bootlegging Soul Plane I got in trouble for bumping Cold Vein Only hood shit, what a cold game But that's old pain, I got new troubles I've been punching the wall, look at my bruised knuckles Saw a fine girl, we'd make a cute couple I tried talking to her, but I was too subtle Then the bouncer showed me out the club But I need somebody to show me how to love [Hook] I know we seem invincible And super cool and all unaffected but-- (Niggas hurt too) I know we're on TV We're all smiley and shit, but you gotta know-- (Niggas hurt too) [Bridge] Maybe you ain't never been hurt like this But if you've ever been hurt and shit Let me hear you say Owwwww (Owwwww) Say Ow Ow (Ow Ow) [Verse 2 - Alpha MC] When I kick it with the white homies They drop N-bombs when we high on weed It hurts but I'm shinin' on Don't want that negative nigga stereotype on me Cause people say stupid things Trying to act like black ain't human being Not unless he rapping and shooting sprees But that's cool with me More showbiz loot for me (Owwww) But I ain't angry, I'm passionate Cause ya'll so entertained by my bastardness I can claim I'm an African But my last name is the same as a white slave master's is (Johnson) You might feel like you don't belong Cause you like blunts not smoking bongs When a nigga pass you a J, you look at him strange Still woulda hit the shit anyway [Hook]
