PAIN THANGS
God thank you for giving
Me to this certain path
Living what I be living you
must believe that I can grasp these
things that you be throwing’
I’m just hoping that I can last
These struggles I be fighting against
these battles in my past
Why can’t you wipe my slate clean?
I know you have
You say life’s not forever Lord
it all will pass!
Oh please just grab me tight Lord
I know you have!
I still need your might
I can’t do this all alone!
Pain thangs
that’s the things that grow you
Its those pain thangs
God uses to know you
It’s those damn thangs
Trying to control you
Yo I’ve known some pain
The
older that I be getting seems
the more that I don’t know
yet you keep on letting me wake up
so my God what does that show?
I used to be like know it all
But now I’m average Joe God you
humbled me thru time to where
silence has more pull
I’ve learned to keep my mouth shut
Just like Job
I’ve learned to give you credit Lord
That’s all I know
I fight against injustice
Even my own
Including within my family
Where ever known
(Bridge)
Pain thangs
that’s the things that grow you
Its those pain thangs
I know that they help me discern thangs
Cuz I want to make a lane change!
Nicha:
Pain hurts me so much
God, I need your touch
Sustain
Pain thangs
that’s the things that grow you
Its those pain thangs
God uses to know you
It’s those damn thangs
Trying to control you
Yo I’ve known some pain (2x’s)
From women, to my group members
Internal business thangs
To the interviewers and consumers
False friendships and fame
To friends who became enemies
Who know just where to mame
Where to place all their disdain
slander my name it’s this pain
that keeps me on the D.L. on the humble
on the quest for the
real not all this systematic cycle-istic mess
We’re all caught up in the flesh
in the bosom of this net
I won’t forget that Lord you gave us pain
so we can manifest our purpose
our purpose
(Bridge)
Pain thangs
that’s the things that grow you

Pain thangs
that’s the things that grow you
Its those pain thangs
God uses to know you
It’s those damn thangs
Trying to control you
Yo I’ve known some pain
