How can I take the pain and the sickness away? Get on my knees and pray The council don't play, where there's a will there's a way I'm with ya till the grave All day, you stay on my mind in the midst of the grind It make me wanna cry sometimes but I Keep the faith and don't worry 'bout a thang Cause after all the pain and the rain, I'm still a man [Hook] {x4} [Verse 3] Girl you know I loved ya, there's nothing I wouldn't do If they took yo life then they take mine too We made love through the nights when it was hard to get through You believed I was right when I hardly knew What the hell was going on Damn your love was strong Didn't need no heat to sleep, you kept me warm You was down like po', my wife [?] You'll give me yo' doe, while you go broke I kept you stressed, kept you breathless plus I'm full of shit and I'm selfish, I can't help this I set the bridge on fire and I watched it burn Through the smoke and the ash my ass still didn't learn Unconcerned like what?
