lyrics

Chorus
I got so much pain but it’s one thing I know keep moving forward in this backwards world wherever I go my pain is entertainment baby so it’s on with the show been feelin lower than low/ somebody rescue my soul/ and it goes I got so much pain/ [echo]/ I might lose my brain/ ͟͞I got some much pain/ ͟͞/ think I’mma go insane

Verse 1
Too numb to care/ so I rarely share/ all my thoughts like I used to flying over that nest of the cuckoo/ consciousness just stream like Hulu who knew? Life is all about ware and peace turn on the screen/ see more deceased swarms released/ of the locusts/ my focus/ is driftin/ indifferent/ dormant beasts like: shame, anger, loneliness/ somebody show me where the hope exists closing both my fists while drones persist it’s like Santa Claus reading off Schindler’s List World War 4 knockin on our door/ mama can’t stop all these carnivores they see beef in the street and you know they wanna eat got expensive taste that’ll lay you to waste never seen a therapist/ but I’m prepared to spit/ airing out my narrative sharing the bliss the blistering truth take one for the team just to lead the troops gotta battle these savages everywhere but most of the fight’s right between our ears listen here it’s very clear that pain is in the atmosphere

Verse 2
Pain ain’t permanent/ this Book of Life I been learnin’itwords written in cursive/ turning it/ upside down like Be Here Now what a worldwide tournament game of risk that we cant resist/all the blame that flips on the innocent gets the biggest blips on the radar/ hey yall we just animALLS/ listen to the mating call [pause] we all get snuffed in the end and I love my friends but none of them understand what I been through/ venue is church check the verse I massage where it hurts everybody been through trauma/ [pause]/ drama be the downfallhow come everybody offa dem pills real skill to cope/ abyss filled with dope coke and dro and alcohol/ trying to escape but we feel withdrawls whoever’s in charge/ it’s profit over preservation/ y’all too afraid to face your fears/ but most of the fight’s right between your ears listen here it’s very clear that pain is in the atmosphere
