Pain In My Life Remix Lyrics - Saigon

Pain in my life, life, life 

Check 

From the graffiti in the pissy project hallways 

To niggas hustling on the block 

Settin' up shop crack cocaine bottle of red tops 

Youngins with the boom box lettin' they head bop 

My vision was blurred 

Like the TV that them niggas in the feds watch 

The hood is like a pitfall with corner liq stores 

You sellin' bricks all, you shoot a nigga 

Get 'em bricks by the big dawgs 

It fucked up skinny niggas get pick on till they buff up 

Don't lift weights, shoot 38's, load the clip pull the truck up 

I been through it, sittin' in the block in that tan Buick 

KRS in the speakers equivalent to Nas and Ether 

That was 85, I was six 

Couldn't wait to get him and sit in my father's lap 

And watch a Martin Scorsese flick 

I'm from the old school these new school niggas bore me 

Ain't got shit for me 

Shoulda been influenced by Calvin Broadus 

Nasir Jones and Sean Corey 

I'm on the road to glory by the time I don't had 

So much pain in my life, I shoulda killed myself 

Smoked that crack cocaine and swallowed all them pills myself 

I'm a legend D.O.C. said it 

Hip hop is forever embedded inside my veins 

And I'm takin' my credit 

(So much pain in my life) 

You feel this pain I've been havin' 

Wouldn't lead to much change 

'Cause down here, not much changed 

'Cause everybody wanna thug, mayn 

(So much pain in my life) 

If you knew the pain I sustained 

Just from lettin' my gun bang 

If you would pump your breaks young mayn 

You'd jump in the other lane 

Game, I'm finding it harder for me to live with it 

Thinkin' 'bout getting on some religious shit 

They say religion is for degenerated 

But if the church take away the hurt 

Then dammit I need to get wit it 

So much pain in my life 

'Cause it's gotta be the devil 

It's got us slavin' probably below the poverty level 

We could blame the white man but then why do we settle? 

Collectively we could expect to see the lives in the ghetto 

To be forever facin' just death is a revelation 

We could get on pace if we better the education 

And make some real songs about more than just ballin' and big ice 

For something to get 'em to think twice 

So much pain in my life 

I feel for those who felt they didn't need they brothas 

Now they teenage mothers 

Care about the AIDS in Africa 'cause we they brothas 

Regardless of how they portrayed, I can see they love us 

It bring pain in my life 

To know that there's a whole f'n nation dyin' 

'Cause they can't afford medication 

While we got the money to goto war 

Not for something that was sure 

But for shit that that was strictly just speculation 

(So much pain in my life) 

You feel this pain I've been havin' 

Wouldn't lead to much change 

'Cause down here, not much changed 

'Cause everybody wanna thug, mayn 

(So much pain in my life) 

If you knew the pain I sustained 

Just from lettin' my gun bang 

If you would pump your breaks young mayn 

You'd jump in the other lane 

Dawg, I'm stressed out 

Sometime I be thinkin' God, I'm ready to check out 

I ain't lyin' I be ready to come see you 

It cant be worse than if I get caught with another heater 

And I ride those even though I don't been to jail 4 times for those 

In these streets I done seen too much 

Too many people I love done had they fuckin' head bust 

So much pain in my life, you don't know pain 

You don't know bout losin' yo life in a hurricane 

Naw, don't you don't know how it feel 

To spend a weekend with 'em then yo daddy get killed 

Pain in my life, I don't been through it all 

That stakin' hoe Katrina took my city like a dog 

I done been down but I'mma tell you what 

A real nigga always find a way to get it done 

(So much pain in my life) 

You feel this pain I've been havin' 

Wouldn't lead to much change 

'Cause down here, not much changed 

'Cause everybody wanna thug, mayn 

(So much pain in my life) 

If you knew the pain I sustained 

Just from lettin' my gun bang 

If you would pump your breaks young mayn 

You'd jump in the other lane
