    Pain

    by: Jewlz

    Look, simply said, I'm a pioneer of my area
    Wrote my first line on some paper, I thought I'd share it witcha
    I got a mic in 10th grade 'cause of a homie
    Who didn't need it, I needed it 'cause I ain't have no money
    To buy a mic of my own, I wasn't rich like the other kids
    But my mama tried, she ain't doubt me like the others did
    Made an account on MySpace so I can publicly
    Share my mentality with others, all they did was fuck wit me
    Lies on top of lies, all these comments used to fuck wit me
    But I had someone at all times, I was luckily
    Able to make a change in my game, I switched my flow up
    Spit my first sick verse, felt like I had thrown up
    I had the voice of a boy, I'm finally grown up
    Got my name around but I don't feel like I am known enough
    Glorification's my dedication in progress
    Tryna be remembered, damn it's a long process
    I hope my music will help me become a better man
    'Cause there's so many things about me I don't understand
    & if you think you know me then you got the upper hand
    Cryin' to my grandma reachin' out for an elder's hand
    I swear I was depressed when she left us
    But God has kept me strong since she left, I'm glad He blessed us
    There's only one thing that I regret
    Not going to say good bye in the hospital 'fore she left
    Every time I take step pass her door, I think see her
    Maybe that's my conscious tellin' me that I now need her
    However I'm happy that God freed her
    I know grandpa was smilin' the moment that he had seen her
    I know they're up in heaven & they're happy now
    Life just kinda hit me really hard wit a crappy smile
    How many people can tell you that they enjoy life?
