Trae tha Truth
Pain in the Ghetto
[Intro]
It's a pain in the ghetto
I'm tryna fight, but something's gotta give
[Verse 1: OG Bobby Billions]
Tired of going on these missions
Stuck off in these trenches
I'm just tryna get a million 'fore they come and get me
Lot of hate off in my city, I can't fuck with it
It's just me and the n***as I grew up with
If I'm lying, then I'm dying
No cap up in my rap, you n***as slip, my n***as slide
Yeah, somebody gon' die today
No, these n***as better not be outside today
Or they hit
It's fucked up where I'm from, you can't fuck around
You better watch your step when you be in that ground
Fuck it, long live 'em
It's only one way out, you gotta go and get it
And know this shit expensive, cost a whole brick
Don't get stuck here tryna take your time
Shit get wicked on my side of town
It's a pain in the ghetto
I'm tryna fight, but something's gotta give
I'm built where I can't break, but bitch, I'm done bending
I'm tired of all this sinning, but that's how we living
I'm praying God forgive me
[Chorus: OG Bobby Billions]
I'm just praying for brighter days
Shit been wicked, I thank God I'm alive today
N***as dead
I'm tryna get a million, tired of going on these missions
I'm tryna leave the trenches 'fore I'm stuck off in the system
They shake me, I'll try to change
I just pray these n***as don't be outside today
Or they hit
I know that mama told you 'bout a thousand times
Careful, shit get wicked on my side of town
We don't fuck around
It's a pain in the ghetto
I'm tryna fight, but something's gotta give
[Verse 2: Trae the Truth]
It's kind of crazy, ain't it?
There's pain and love to make you fall on
Too many demons lose to call on
I'm sick of this pain today
I pray to God they don't play today
What I'm holding, I'll spray today
Until they take me away
[Verse 3: Lil Jairmy]
I done seen a killer rat
I done seen dealers hit the crack
Had my back against the wall, but I ain't never going back
Put my life all on the line, I risked it all for them racks
I paid the price of a real n***a and it was a hell of a tax
And if you working like I'm working, you can't never relax
I admit it, I'm not perfect, yeah, I'm flawed
My past left my scarred
I swear I had it hard
These n***as can't compare to me, they ain't never slept in cars
Only a couple n***as was there for me and I swear I got 'em all
If you show me that you care for me, I'll die and go to war
I'm having suicidal thoughts, but they can't tell 'cause I'm a star
I'm going too hard drinking this lean, send up a prayer for your boy
Somebody pray for me
[Chorus: OG Bobby Billions]
I'm just praying for brighter days
Shit been wicked, I thank God I'm alive today
N***as dead
I'm tryna get a million, tired of going on these missions
I'm tryna leave the trenches 'fore I'm stuck off in the system
They shake me, I'll try to change
I just pray these n***as don't be outside today
Or they hit
I know that mama told you 'bout a thousand times
Careful, shit get wicked on my side of town
We don't fuck around
It's a pain in the ghetto
I'm tryna fight, but something's gotta give
[Outro: Trae the Truth & Lil Jairmy]
It's kind of crazy, ain't it?
Something gotta give
Gotta get up out of here
