[Intro: Amiri Baraka]

[Verse]
Pain in my eyes
Pain in my eyes
Pain in my eyes
You can tell by the pace
They treat me like I'm wasting away
I know I'm worth more than they pay (I know my worth)
Blood in my hands, timbs, my new white tee
I ain't mean to, better him than me
Shit I should've died, I wouldn't have to pay rent
Shit, they treat a n***a like you know I ain't shit
I had to get back everything I lost
I went to the same spot bro left what he tossed
I was taught move, observe the slick walk
Since a baby, pigs shoot, don't talk
The flood the cases, bodies fell out the block
It's under the basement, 'cause the pigs getting off
Lawdy, when you coming back? Hurry
N***as paid for you
Collection plate for you, I thought
Can't fall
I'm tired, can't fall asleep, can't feel asleep
