Pain is Glory

Lyrics

[Intro] Hey Mayor Ayo Jamz, I see you behind the boards, boy This sounding real musical, real beautiful, huh Sorta like the modern day Mozart or some shit, ha Of course I'm like the modern day Michelangelo The way I paint these pictures They ain't gon' quite understand it yet Let me paint though [Verse] The voice of the people that many tried to silence, besides the violence They're truly fearful of my dеfiance Their first reaction whеn they was thinking that I'm compliant You should try the science, politicking with some giants And try to make an alliance They underestimated the fearless heart of a lion That's here to sharpen the iron The clearest stars in Orion, that wears the scars of a Mayan There's pain in them clear visions Doubted every step in this journey but still appear driven Telling me to take care, but never was no cares given Crying on them prison tears, tattered up the tears dripping Dirty ass apartments starving Empty the frigidaire like "Mama, why we living here?" "Baby, at least we here living" I'm everything that my peers isn't (Peers isn't) The realest thing that you hear spitting (Hear spitting) So never could I pretend hater Was just selling yay and had fiends lighting up stems, player Born was a terror, was robbing all of my friends' neighbors Put locks on the jewels, but thanks for giving us gems, Jada My first rap check, like "Mama, look what my pen made us" Me and my brother locked up now, look what the pen made us, huh Damn, look at what all these men gave up Stare 'em in they eyes, I feel all the time that they spent caged up You owe dog, you get Larenz taped up You so soft, you low carb niggas'll never cake up We predators that take pride hunting, all of us despise fronting Look 'em in they eyes, full of vibe That's when them lies coming If you got something to hide, that's when you hide something But when you ain't got nothing to hide, that's when you hide nothing [Outro] When you ain't got nothing to hide, that's when you hide nothing, yeah Huh, and a lot of y'all got a lot to hide Not me though, y'all can have it all
