[Intro]
I wanna make it through the pain and strife
Real talk
Through the pain, if I will make it through the pain
If I will...

[Verse 1: Shimmer]
I wanna make it through the pain
And strife the rainy days and nights
I gotta get rid of the pain inside
Get away for the stray and change my life
Getting the right frame of mind
Because I don't wanna send more boys out
When your whole life spins so raw
That's why we participate in crime
I wanna jump on a plane and fly
I wish I could pack my bags and say goodbye
I'm sick of my lifestyle
This ain't the grime wave of life
I'm doing so much wrong right now
But I'm just trying to make it right
To get on my knees and pray for guidance
I

[Chorus: Raresounz]
Gotta make it through the pain and strife
I really wanna leave all the pain behind
It's time to leave up and elevate and rise
I gotta escape this life

[Verse 2: Shimmer]
Yo, yo, yo
I wanna make it through the pain and strife
Get away from Satan
Fight against temptation, make arrangements
Gotta get brain to stabilize
I've made mistakes in life
Because I never knew how to take advice
Mum told me to do the right thing
But I ignored her and I paid the price
I gotta give thanks to my mum
Through all the hard times, she raised me right
Being in council flats at the age of five
It's like a cage inside
Sometimes I go down the wrong road
And I ignore all the danger signs
So I get on my knees and pray for guidance
I

[Chorus: Raresounz]
Gotta make it through the pain and strife
I really wanna leave all the pain behind
It's time to leave up and elevate and rise
I gotta escape this life

[Verse 3: Shimmer]
Man, I gotta escape this life
I wanna make it through the pain and strife
Sometimes I'm stuck in a daydream, late at night
Thinking to myself that I be the guy, elevate and rise
Nowadays, I'm aiming high
I gotta just rise to the top
So whether they like it or not
I ain't gonna stop, it's accelerating time
Speeding past of the snakes and spies
Move with the raging pace
They're chasing way behind
Shimmer don't play
As a child, they used to push games aside
I don't wanna end up trapped in a cell
That's locked behind bars, all facing life
So I get on my knees and pray for guidance
I

[Chorus: Raresounz] x2
Gotta make it through the pain and strife
I really wanna leave all the pain behind
It's time to leave up and elevate and rise
I gotta escape this life

[Outro]
Shimmer
Raresounz
Gotta make it through the struggles
Because life is hard
Swear down, gotta make it through the pain and strife
All determination
We'll get through it
