(feat. Dougie D, Shyna)



[Hook: Shyna]

Struggling, to live my life

Working hard, trying to get it right

Though it seems, it will never change

Help me God, make it through this rain

Struggling, to live my life

Working hard, trying to get it right

Though it seems, it will never change

Help me God, I can't take this pain



[Trae]

I ain't got no friends, but I got foes

I needed a gallon, only got hoes

See me and my niggas, shed tears for too long

Lost everything, and prayed to get gone

On the cool, it wasn't all about balling

Have you ever been left out, in the rain

Everyday all day, left stuck in the game

Not able to make a choice, and gotta feel the pain

Fell that can you relate, to the life I live

Nothing but thugs on blocks, one life to give

And I don't wanna reminisce, thinking of my life

Will get me pissed, and I'm knowing this

I got a big brother, living in the Penitentiary

Never will I see him again, in this century

And that's fucked up, cause I ain't get to see him that much

I be ready to quit, but then I love too much

On top of that, lost my nigga Screw-U

They all I got, and that's all I had

And I got a damn thang, that motivate Trae

Then they wanna know why, I be mad all day

Or I be sad all day, and sitting in my zone

And I ain't got no love, you better leave me alone

I'm known to get cold, deep inside my soul

Thinking of hard time bitch, fuck hoes and hoes

And piece and chain, and anything else that shine

A lot of that shit, don't really mean a damn thang

I don't do no drugs, I face everything head on

If you ain't ever felt how I feel, get the hell on

The other hand, I deserve to be heard

And everything I live, I can relate with skills

And these niggas wanna knock, cause I ain't on the radio

And everything I spit on the mic, be real



[Hook]



[Dougie D]

Take a look, at the thoughts inside my mind

The pain I feel, it burns so deep inside

It's a struggle everyday, to live my life

Mean a young a black male, at home or die

Just swallow my pride, and I'll take it

Keep on pumping, soon and I'll make it

Face to face, through all of this case shit

Slowly y'all, I've been losing my patience

Everyday that I live, is like I'm dying

But the main light, right look clock he trying

Looking through the hour glass, it's standard time

Love to stay strong, but the weak they gon survive

Don't need to beg, I just ask him

All the pain hurts less, it just pass me

Mo' and mo', I try to be happy

Haters, don't want to let that happen

Through the rain and the pain, I gotta deal with it

Keep my head tight, just to stay real with it

Hustle and grind, just to break bread in it

Pray to God, I don't get found dead in it

My time is my time, your time is your turn

All the bullshit I done faced, up in my life I done faced it

On, and no need for your words

Everyday that I move, I struggle and strive

Long as a nigga, strive the struggle and die

On my grind, for a time to feed my child

On a mission for feddy, to watch and multiply

This time around, a change gon come

All the while, you was thinking that it wouldn't

My sunny days, done turned to rain

But nevertheless, I'm still gon keep on pumping



[Hook]



[Trae]

Over the years, I'm running out of family

But it ain't nothing, but the man in me

I know I gotta be strong, and I can't let it handle me

I gotta ride, for my family

Hey Brenda, I'ma get that plack for you baby

And if not, I'ma die trying

And I put that on my life, I really wanna see Claire

But I don't, cause I can't stop crying

Lord, can you tell me what I did wrong

Why, everybody telling me to be strong

I don't wanna have to keep, doing these songs

Everybody need to leave me, the fuck alone

I'm sick, and I just can't take it

Running from the pain, I feel I can't shake it

I don't even wanna know, if I'ma make it

Nothing but hard times and hard rhymes, I gotta break it

Call me crazy, call me gone

Really, they don't wanna get off in my zone

Cause if I take the time, I put it in my life

A lot of niggas out here, be crying to go home

I'm still at the bottom, might make it to the top

And I know I can't stop, for my brother on lock

And my gal and my child, and everybody else I love

To death, before I'm signing out

I can't take it to heaven, but I continue right here

Everything I will, if your tape don't sell

Everybody and they mama, wanna see a nigga fail

Only time gon tell, of Trae gon prevail

And deep down, my life messing my head up

I'm fed up, and so ready to let up

I'm knocked down, and I don't wanna be getting up

Heavenly Father, help me 'fore I'm giving up



[Hook]



[Shyna]

I can't take this pain, I can't take this pain

I can't take this pain, I can't take this pain



No more pain, no more pain

No more pain, no more pain

No more pain, no more pain

No more pain, no more pain
