Angel Haze - Sufferings First lyrics

[Verse 1: Angel Haze] I'm staring' at the view from the height of my past pain; Ironic, I'm trying come in first if it's the last thing They trying throw me off, but I won't let 'em pa** me They k** me with the hating, but I ain't in the casket I gotta stay on top, gotta f**ing overcome sh** I had to learn to beat it like I just got a drum kit Now my motto 'keep faith, stay strong Be prosperous Stay positive and f** anyone that say opposite' 'Cause everybody don't wanna see you win In the end, your biggest enemies may be your friend Keep losing my balance; That's the prize of a winner So, I'm trying find God in the eyes of a sinner 'Cause me, I'm like the victim through the eyes of a k**er; Gun's aimed at her worth and the pride that's within her I'm the uprise in the lives of the demise and devastation The little piece of heaven left in satan, forreal [Hook: Angel Haze] So what if it hurts? The struggle is first To live is to die, we all suffer the curse And love is the cure until we're suffering worse Pleasure is pain; the suffering's first [Verse 2: Angel Haze] Pushed 'em out of my life, my friends say that I changed But, how the f** you make a difference and still stay the same? They don't carry the weight; they can't handle the pressure So they can see me evolve, but they can't capture my essence My life is insane, and I don't get enough credit But the picture ain't realistic like a Photoshop edit How could you even be mad that I would wanna enhance that? Just to have the option, like I hit the 'advanced' tab So, f** 'em all; They'd rather see me fail I hit the mainstream and my ship gon' sail And n***as gon' hate, and some gon' applaud me But I remain a problem that nobody's resolving I got this ache in my soul and it's distant now 'Cause I'm hotter than the flames on a Piston now I keep losing my balance, that's what trips me out I keep my emotions inside 'til I'm flipping out But I won't trip I stand tall Just keep my head And hold on I said, I won't trip I stand tall Just keep my head And hold on [Hook: Angel Haze] So what if it hurts? The struggle is first To live is to die, we all suffer the curse And love is the cure until we're suffering worse Pleasure is pain; the suffering's first [Verse 3: Angel Haze] Sometimes I feel like I'm bound to be a sell-out So I spit fire to try to let this hell out To try to let myself out This cage I trapped myself in But I won't let myself in I feel like if I lose sight of me, I won't let myself win And I won't let myself end, I be damned if I do I enjoy being myself; I be damned if I'm you See, I give 'em what they need and that's that real sh** And I do it with my heart so they can feel this That's why the words in my songs reach broken bones Make 'em strong, show 'em they got more to focus on And music is the only thing I put my hope in Use words to capture my mute emotions I'm like an umbrella top, how I'm hit with the rain But I walk when it hurts like a ligament's sprain And my thoughts like a frame to the picture I paint; I get high off the green like the top of terrain They can't extinguish the flame from my mouth when I speak I got beauty and peace, like a tropical beach And I got me some dreams that I won't stop 'til I reach And Dr. King's speech in the mouth of a freak [Hook: Angel Haze] So what if it hurts? The struggle is first To live is to die, we all suffer the curse And love is the cure until we're suffering worse Pleasure is pain; the suffering's first
