"Pain Story" lyrics

"Pain Story"

(Ojay got that juice)

I wish that I could wear a skirt and play just like the little girls
I has dresses in my closet and I could show it to the world
But showing off my skin and off my hair? Yeah, that's too risky
Uncle taught me at a young age there's a price for being pretty
Have you ever had a uncle that was touching on your thighs?
And you tell him you don't want it but he's forced it in, inside? (Ah)
Feel like my life is worthless 'cause I'll always be the victim
Been neglected by my family and neglected by the system (Damn)
And I'm tryna prove my point but everybody gon' defend him
I was scared, so I stood quiet while this nigga steady raping me
Another angry Black girl, yeah, that's what he made me be
My dignity, he took from me, virginity, he took from me
I'd hide behind the bed at night so he couldn't look for me
But look at what he did to me, look at what he took from me
And they tell me to believe, and they tell me to be strong
And they tell me to keep faith, I put my pain up in this song
So now I'm facing all these demons, so I'm calling on the Lord
But my knees is getting weaker, without You, I can't go on
He would creep up in my room when all my family was asleep
He molested me so bad that I was bleeding through the sheets
Shit, I wonder what I did to deserve this life
It's like I'm steady going wrong when I try to do right
And I ain't tryna lose the battle, so I'm steady gon' fight
But it's gon' be a suicide 'cause now I'm grabbing the knife, shit

Man, I gotta be strong
And if you ever been the victim, I hope you see this song
'Cause now I'm no longer the victim, and it's no longer my fault
And I ain't following the rules from now, we playing on our court
If you ever been the victim, just know it ain't your fault
If you been sexually abused, just know it ain't your fault
If you ever been neglected, just know it ain't your fault
'Cause now they're following our rules, and now they're playing on our court
It's not your fault

Promise it ain't your fault
If you feel like you alone, it ain't your fault
And if nobody believe you, it ain't your fault
'Cause now they're following your rules and now they're playing on your court
It ain't your fault, it never was your fault, huh
Nah, it ain't my fault
