Take the Pain Away

They say the money and the fame
Supposed to take the pain away
But all the money in the world
Will never take the pain away
All the fame in the world
Will never take the pain away
So I'ma drink until l I earl
And try to smoke my pain away

I remember going outside
Seeing niggas get shot in they face
I remember waking up broad day
Going outside seeing hella yellow tape
Blood all over the ground
Bitch I know these streets ain't safe
That's why I'm riding with this K
'Cause I can really die today
And I ain't really trying to lose my life
Just trying to make a way
And I ain't really trying to lose my life
Just tryna make a play
'Cause everybody getting it out the mud
Ain't no love in these streets
And I still don't get no peace
Trying to dodge death and police
And I still don't get no sleep
I barely even eat
I ain't even gonna lie
Shit has almost been like a week
I've been rolling off these pills
I've been rolling off this weed
I've been rolling off these percs
I've been rolling off these beans
I've been trying to bust these P's
Trying to sell these OZ's
I've been trying to count these G's
Trying to put that shit in my jeans
I've been riding around with two 9 Rugers
And an AR with a beam
I can't trust a soul
And sometimes I can't even trust my team

They say the money and the fame
Supposed to take the pain away
But all the money in the world
Will never take the pain away
All the fame in the world
Will never take the pain away
So I'ma drink until l I earl
And try to smoke my pain away

Smoke my pain away
I smoke my pain away
Drain my pain away
It's been a rainy day
Shit ain't the same today
I feel insane today
Smoke my pain away

I've been knew these streets, ain't safe
Bitch, I'm riding around with that K
You can really get hit today
I done seen niggas get slayed

I remember in the 10th grade, that nigga haze Showed me 10 bands in the school
He got killed the same day
Then I seen Black rob his own man's
And they was cool since the first grade
I'm just trying to inform you
If you don't understand my ways
All these scars need a first aid
Seen my man on the first page
This shit fill niggas up with rage
You don't understand my pain
All this blood on the street
I got blood on my feet
Feel like I'm in the army
All the soldiers I see deceased
Got me riding with my heat
Used to go to school with a .22
Now I got that .223
Growing up in Baltimore like Iraq
Bitch, I got PTSD
I knew 12 niggas that done got killed in 1 year
That was like 2015
Same year, lost my grandmother
And my uncle next in 2016
And I just heard that nigga Smoke got hit
Just for saying "go get the heat"
So you ain't never got to tell me
I already know talk is cheap
Shit had me fucked up in the head
So I gotta say R.I.P
And the most fucked up part about it is
They killed his bitch the next week
And my mother got the nerve to wonder
Why I'm riding around with this big .30 piece, yeah
