Pharoahe Monch - Pain lyrics

[Intro] Ow, okay, long-awaited, highly-anticipated The new album, "Desire", this is the mixtape Pharoahe Monch in your area, Clinton Sparks Boogie Blind, what's good? We gon' get it, let's go Mixshooter.com, clintonsparks.com, smashonradio.com [Verse 1] So much pain, it's never the pain of a migraine But the pain of a million slaves slain And they speak to me, God talks through me If I'm offending your religion or race, now sue me Are these the profound words of a prophet for sure? Does Christopher Wallace play chess with 2Pac Shakur? We're on the other side of lost souls cryin' My third eye relies on faith, I keep fire lights Spirit slash math, on a path to Mount Zion Hexcel, blow the bell-horse to keep ridin' My thoughts psychotic at times, who will support it? Will I ever discuss life with my seed that was aborted? Does my spirit gets absorbed in a tape when they record it That's the reason why emcees' lives get shorted Salvation's worth more than platinum and gold, can you afford it? It's morbid but I manifest pain and put it in orbit [Bridge] I said it's morbid It's like the other day I just took the gun from underneath the bed And... put the barrel to my head I was just too afraid to pull the trigger, I... You know it... [Hook] [x2] You know it's pain When you can't see the sun from the rain You know it's pain When there's fire in your eyes and you can't see You know it's pain When you get down on your knees and pray You know it's pain When misery's your only friend [Outro] Talk to 'em, Pharoahe
