Freddie Gibbs - Joy & Pain lyrics

[Verse 1: ANTHM] See my heaven, see my hell Blurried eyes as my teardrops fell No sleep, on my feet I dwell Down to the ground on the street I knelt And a rose, grew from the concrete crack n***a please, would you rewind me back This reminds me that Despite the bullsh** you'll never find me trapped Let the demons now go loose Cause a n***a done found his roots Crush the head of a serpent Quick to turn that motherf**er right into cowboy boots Sunshine or rain, yin or yang, Russian roulette Time to aim. Four for joy, five for pain Nine bullets. I pull it to survive the game [Hook: ANTHM] [x2] That joy, that pain, you trying hard to maintain Got problems all in your brain And it feels like it won't change That joy, that pain, that sunshine and that rain That happiness that you gain when you know it's getting better now [Bridge] Real late in the midnight hour, we look for therapy What if that sun don't rise? There ain't no guarantee Real late in the midnight hour, we look for therapy But I know I'll be at peace when they bury me But I know I'll be at peace when they bury me [x4] [Verse 2: Freddie Gibbs] Late night in the midnight hour I walk in the shadow of d**h All about money and power Smoke some 'til there ain't nothing left Smoke some 'til I cloud out my brain Smoke some 'til I smoke out the pain And I wanna go in for this But these incidents got me going insane Dear lord, this can't be livin' That day mama birthed me I know this ain't what she envisioned That I'd ride custom cuts and Chevy's with chrome all in my engine Too nervous to doll the surface, I'm losin' my religion Gangster gibbs baby [Hook] [Bridge 2: ANTHM] Have you seen my doubts and fears? Have you seen my smiles and tears? Trying to live my life, wouldn't be the same fight If I lived for a thousand years, thousand years But we're born, and we die, and we mourn, and we cry 'Til one day, we say goodbye [Verse 3: ANTHM] I was set to perform, in a world so cold, never expected it warm I rejected the norms, swaggar jacking Jesus when I slept in a storm But I woke up to the sunshine, had peace like a Buddhist Surrounded by 12 people, each one was a Judas But the truth is that I had to go through this No person here, gotta roll dolo when I persevere Damn, oh Fortuna please have mercy dear No I ain't giving up that quick, f** that sh** Feel my heart in that stuff I spit Once I get my peace of mind I'm about to build my throne right above that sh** [Hook] [x2] [Bridge 2] [x2] That joy, that pain [x2] That joy, that pain, that sunshine and that rain That happiness that you gain when you know it's getting better now [ANTHM] I feel that joy and pain, through what I overcame You're always in my life, that's how I know your name And when I feel that pain, that joy is Novocaine You got me feeling right, through what I overcame I feel that joy and pain, through what I overcame I feel that joy and pain, through what I overcame
