Painless

Yeah… Late nights, cold hearts, sirens outside Still tryna make it through the dark side Streetlights fade while I’m ridin’ through the night Pain in my chest but I hide it when I write Mama told me, “Boy, just keep your head high” But the hood turn dreams into smoke in the sky I been lost in my thoughts, tryna heal my soul Friends turn ghosts when that envy take control Rain keep fallin’ on the same cracked road Still ten toes down, never fold, never fold I grew up where the kids learn pain before love Where the cops ride slow and the angels above Got brothers in the cell and some stuck on drugs Everybody act tough but they all need hugs I seen tears on my mama face late night Bills on the table, not enough to make life Had dreams of escape, had faith in the mic Now I’m pourin’ all this hurt in every line I write And the block still hot, hear the shots echo Lost another young soul to the ghetto Heart cold but the melody mellow Tryna fly away but the chains too heavy though Streetlights fade while I’m ridin’ through the night Pain in my chest but I hide it when I write Mama told me, “Boy, just keep your head high” But the hood turn dreams into smoke in the sky I been lost in my thoughts, tryna heal my soul Friends turn ghosts when that envy take control Rain keep fallin’ on the same cracked road Still ten toes down, never fold, never fold I got scars that I cover with designer clothes Still feel broke even when the money flow Trust issues got my heart movin’ slow Everybody say they real, I don’t really know Late drives with the city lights blur Thinkin’ ‘bout the people that I lost for sure Wish I could rewind, open every closed door Now I just vent pain through the headphones more And my youngin told me he look up to me So I can’t let the darkness get the upper on me Even when the devil keep pressin’ on me I still pray someday we all gon’ be free Streetlights fade Another long night in the city Still dreamin’ though… Still fightin’ though… Yeah
