"Pain In My Eyes" lyrics
(feat. Trey Songz)
Yeah
See, we normalize this lifestyle and the pain we're going through
But the things we do, the things we go through, the normal
American don't go through
You know what I'm saying?
You couldn't walk in my shoes and you tried
You struggled past all poverty and make it happen
Smile on my face, all this pain behind my eyes
Yeah
Made it happen
You couldn't walk in my shoes if you tried
If you tried
All this pain in my eye
Yeah, uh
Huh?
And they lookin' up to me, so I can't cry
And that hurt me deep, that's why I keep this
Pain in my eye
Yeah, and they watchin' me get dressed, they think I'm flying
I wear these shades to hide
All this pain in my eye
This pain, pain, pain in my eye
Yeah, and I promise I won't give up, I'm gonna try
It got me feeling like I'm on my last shot
Yeah
Look, the judge tried to fry me
They lost my inmate number
I had court and they couldn't find me
And I couldn't sleep 'cause I got trauma from these bodies
I ain't different from nobody
All these bitches on my body
And I'm going through this pain, nigga
And I know who did me wrong, but I don't name niggas
And all I mention in my name just make my fame bigger
And every time I lose a friend, I make my chain bigger
And it hurt 'em when I flash it, it's a pain picture
When you're losing, they're talking, and that crowd is loud
Just stay focused, 'cause that's how you turn that volume down
Every time they box me out, that circle I be climbing out
And how they still book me in this city if I'm not allowed
You couldn't walk in my shoes if you tried
Smile on my face, all this pain behind my eyes
I don't think you could've did it
I don't think you coulda did what we did
I couldn't think we did what we did
And they lookin' up to me, so I can't cry
And that hurt me deep, that's why I keep this
Pain in my eye
Yeah, and they watch me get dressed, they think I'm fly
I wear these shades to hide
All this pain in my eye
This pain, pain, pain in my eye
And I promise I won't give up, I'm gon' try
Because I be feelin' like I'm on my last shot, yeah
See, we normalize this lifestyle and the pain we're going through
But the things we do, the things we go through, the normal
American don't go through
You know what I'm saying?
You couldn't walk in my shoes and you tried
You struggled past all poverty and make it happen
Smile on my face, all this pain behind my eyes
Yeah
Made it happen
You couldn't walk in my shoes if you tried
If you tried
All this pain in my eye
Yeah, uh
Huh?
And they lookin' up to me, so I can't cry
And that hurt me deep, that's why I keep this
Pain in my eye
Yeah, and they watchin' me get dressed, they think I'm flying
I wear these shades to hide
All this pain in my eye
This pain, pain, pain in my eye
Yeah, and I promise I won't give up, I'm gonna try
It got me feeling like I'm on my last shot
Yeah
Look, the judge tried to fry me
They lost my inmate number
