9th Wonder - The Pain lyrics

[Produced by 9th Wonder] [Chopped samples repeating throughout the song] The rain - rain - (rain) - on my face In the rain - rain - to hide my pain - on my.. Hey I like to go out in the rain - rain - (rain) On my face - in the rain - rain - to hide my pain - on my.. Hey I like to go out in the.. [Verse 1] See I'm a single black male, dark hair, dark eyes Long walks through a park and a lot of them lies I'm a little bit jaded by a lot of what I see So if you're still interested you should come get at me Cause I'm tired of getting shot down, put down and dissed I wanna be picked up, held tight and kissed But things like these don't happen to dudes like me Because I'm more Coldplay than I am Ice-T They say that good girls love bad guys and that might be But a bad girl with a good guy, that's unlikely So what's a man to do to get to hold hands with you? Do I talk sh** and stand and look hard with my crew? I don't know what to do, so I drown in my drink It helps to numb the pain, cause when I sit and think about it Eyes get clouded, thoughts get crowded (thoughts get clouded) So I'mma sit right here, wait for you to talk about it In the.. c'mon [Verse 2] Said she had a boyfriend, just trying to be nice But I've heard the same lines from different women all night Too easy let down, but don't let it get you down sh**, that's what my boys told me, but end of the night I was still sitting lonely, if only I could find 'em Without all the drama, without the one-liners Excuse me miss, hey mam, you got a man, what's ya name? I'm in my mid-twenties so enough with the games Simply put I think you're stunning, and what about some kids? A couple dogs, a couple cars, a four bedroom crib? Look, I'm not trying to jib, I'm just speaking from the heart But we can start with a drink if you wanna play it smart She looking at my boy who got two kids at home and I know how it goes, here's his number telephone and He does the girl's turf, and I know you're smelling on him But every b**h needs a dog, so I guess that's why you want him [Verse 3] I try to be subtle, but even flirting got me shooked I would never get a smile, all I got was dirty looks And my self-esteem is low enough, I got teased growing up And what I do, I beat 'em up, but that only made me tough It didn't get me girls, or notes in cla** Same girls who used to tell, when I would pinch their a** But if another boy did it, then they would get gritty So I pretended the handball was their face when I hit it And I admit it's part the reason why I'm do em like I do And women in my life, there has only been two My mother being one, and the other one is done So my philosophy on dating is; ain't no fun Cause they come and they go, and even if they don't cum They still have to go, girl I give the best head But you just wouldn't know, cause you stuck up in some diddy But even if you dissed me, I ain't mad Go on do that yo with yo pretty as.. You looked better coming.. No wait, you looked better going than you did coming Her a** is amazing. High five for Jesus Keep making 'em like that Just make 'em with half a brain so maybe they'll talk to me
