[verse 1: Napoleon Da Legend]
These politicians wanna k** us divid up the social cla** going to war poison our water got us going mad
No shelter for the homeless sleeping under the overpa** the youth under the influence of d** hard to get over that
Hospital bills medicaid recipient under Obamacare
When I hit the bottom wasn’t nobody but my mama there
These stars seem so far away no role models where live that rents late landlord screaming I gotta pay
Woke up late manager threatening to fire me
Police look at me like I’m a menace to society
Friend or foe it’s getting hard to tell apart
My homie’s sister lost her child and she just feel apart
So much pain
[Hook] Ohhhh…
Tired of the strain and the pain
Ohhhh…
Tired of the strain and the pain
[verse 2: Napoleon Da Legend]
They got me bugging feeling paranoid
Avoiding devils in the dark wearing a mask
And there’s void inside my heart
I feeling broken
Scattered pieces of my soul in city roaming
Johnny Walker to the head I hope it get me going
They fascinated by America overseas
While they try a**a**inate my character, enemies
I never mind em they blinded by jealousy
How the hell I make it out of hell free
A prisoner inside a cell block mentally
Shell shocked physically
If I fail I’m a liability
I need some dough by the week
I gotta hustle for my family to eat
I feel the pressure building up inside drunk and high
Somebody in my way and I’m pop em yo I swear to god
Yesterday I lost another brother
Looking up at the sky asking why we got to suffer
There’s much so pain
[Hook] Ohhhh…
Tired of the strain and the pain
Ohhhh…
Tired of the strain and the pain
