Verse 1: Haha, if pain is the game I done mastered it, like shaolin wu tang Had my heart broken twice, still that feel that pain I don't feel no rain though, cus things done changed I went from the hustling and slang of purple haze That only put me on the streets, training day Got back to a center place, running at a pleasant pace Coulda had a better face, on the cards I held but hey it's ok Cus now I'm living down the block From West Bel Air gates, where you don't need a Glock Still LA tho, so your always on the watch Cus you heard about them fools that rushed up 2pac And I gotta say rest in peace, BIG and nate dogg Still feel that old school funky vibe you left off Why every blunt I smoke, I'm toasting to you gods You got me through the pain when I almost blew my f**in brain [Quote Chorus] Verse 2: Damn, getting that feeling looking back
Thinking "is karma ever gonna catch for me that?" Hope I don't get jammed in a wrap Why I'm staying clean as I can, besides taking some dabs Yeah, you could say I've learned as a man That some fights are served better off without hands But still I gotta stand up, to the devil on the daily Always tryna drown my creating, with a bottle of bailies Or throwing me some ladies Thinking I'm dumb enough, to not pack my own protection, are you crazy? I was prep'in for this war, way before my present life Knowing closer to the light I'd get the harder dark would try Now I'm thinking bout them tribes overseas who are dieing Or the kids in China working hourly for a dime I realize my place in time is getting hype from rhymes And after that it's on b**h, Imma start saving some lives [Quote Outro]
