2.Hurt N' Pain

Dialogue:
Damn, Lord. Just got so much hurt n' pain inside me, you know
what I'm
sayin'? People think just cause I got records or sumpin' I don't
feel hurt n'
pain, huh, thinkin' I ain't human or sumpin', God can you help
me out?

Lyrics:
Lord how much longa' I gotta' take this, playa haten' and
gettin' stabbed
behind my back, I'm frustrated, feelin' mentally incarcirated.
I'm
suffocating gasping for oxygen so I can breathe, at times I'm
prayin' for God
to take me away feelin' I'm ready to leave, this world of
misery, jealousy,
hurt n' pain. But I gotta maintain even though to live is
Christ, to die is
gain. I'm feelin' lonely God wrap your arms around a solider,
and hold me
tight because this world just keeps on gettin' colder. Wipe the
painful tears
fallin' from these lonely eyes. Got one of my friends betray me
then proceed
to tell these lies, I'm tellin' the truth at times I feel, that
don't nobody
care? That's why I cry at night when I'm on my knees alone in
prayer. See I
be in a comrade stuck in a world zone holdin' on to my mission,
but at times I
wish God wouldn't have placed me in this opposition, cause
people love me, but
at the same time some despise me, and it's drivin' me insane
full of all this
hurt n' pain!

Chorus-
I feel rejection, lonliness, hurt n' pain. God can you take away
the hurt n'
pain? A solider strugglin' up in this game. So God can you take
away the
hurt n' pain?

I'm havin' visions, wakin' up screamin', frightened, sweatin'
and dramatized
thinkin' about when they broke in my house and tried to take my
life. I
remember layin' in my bathtub, full of blood, thinkin' to
myself, is there any
love left in this world? Cause nowadays, there's so much
division, that's why
half of my homies dead and the others spend their days in the
prison. The
devil keep temptin' me, fillin' my mind with evil thoughts, but
I'm gonna
prevail even though everyone would said I'd fail. My own homies
talk about
me, claimin to be my partners, but then behind my back, they
bad-mouth me.
Now tell me Judas why you do me like Cain did to Abel. I showed
you love and
put the food up on your family's table. Why you be jabberin' and
spreadin'
lies behind my back, I helped you when you was down and got you
back on track.
Is you a friend or foe? Tell me cause I need to know. Or is you
down because
I bring my two shows and make that dough. If that's the case
then homey,
here's some change, go play the lotto. Cause my crew tight just
like them
corks that be on champagne bottles, can you feel me? I full of
all this hurt
n' pain, the sunshines gone, so God please guide me through the
storms and
rain.


I kept so many tears, thought appears, that was down me for the
last few
years. Playa haten a brother but worse I heard it with my own
ears. Dear
God, can you rescue me? From all this hurt n' pain,
backstabbin', playa
haten, lyin' and jealousy. At times I feel that I can't go on,
but I gotta be
strong, I'm willin' to die for what I believe in just like John.
You wrong,
if you think I be in this for the dough, like Robert DeNiro, and
Joe Pesci up
in Casino, move to Reno, if that's what your intentions be.
Don't try to use
the name of God so that you can come up on some quick money,
dummy, ain't
nuttin' funny, them lies bring hurt n' pain, so keep my name up
out your
devilish lies and realize!
