Here come the...here come the, here come the pain (pain)...x4
Uplift your soul
Get your house in order
Mc's be actin' like they walkin' on water
I'll break ya down like a poem wrote in hyku
Who you gonna lie to
Before I crucify you
Hammer to the nails
My face impailen'
My acid flashbacks got everything trailin'
I'm sailen blind on the open sea
Like an overload of coatahacian refugees
And I'm on my knees
My face on the rug
One more frustration for my salvation
My jinns buggin up
Got me fuckin' up
Callin' my flesh
But my sole wouldn't mesh
[chorus]
So lick a shot when I heat up the spot
I'm taking from the have's
'cause to be the have nots
Lick a shot when I heat up the spot
Boy, where you gonna run when the gun get hot
So lick a shot when I heat up the spot
I'm taking from the have's
'cause to be the have nots
Lick a shot when I heat up the spot
Boy, where you gonna run when the gun get hot
Here come the...here come the...here come the pain...x4
I got the pressures of the world comin' down all around me
I thought I was lost but thank God you found me
I'm gettin' crazy ideas of suicide
Lord I tried...lord I tried
To make the best of what I got
I keep on takin' my shots
From the critics and the media
That's what it be to ya
But you can stick it where the sun don't shine
'cause I'm goin for mine
I rock it all the time
Here come the pain
[chorus]
Well in the race for rats that be holdin' gats
I'll run the hustle on the legend like minnesota fats
Not domino cause your wisdom found at thrill
Drunk on strawberry hill the episode be re-runnin'
Over and over, and three times a lady
She said peep the scene at the end I ain't shady
But, you and me be hush hush
The word be mush
If you take the low pro
I'll still give you some
'cause I got a man and he pays my bills
Keeps my wears real fly and hooks my hair and nails
Baby don't sweat it...baby keep calm...baby don't worry I be vietkong
I can live three days on a bowl of rice and a piece of fish
I'll grant your every wish
[chorus]
