[Verse 1: ANTHM]
See my heaven, see my hell
Blurred eyes as my teardrops fell

No sleep, on my feet I dwell
Down to the ground on the street I knelt
And a rose, grew from the concrete crack

^!$$% please, would you remind me back
This reminds me that
Despite the bull%#@! you'll never find me trapped

Let the demons now go loose
Cause a ^!$$% done found his roots
Crush the head of a serpent

Quick to turn that mother$#&@er into cowboy boots
Sunshine or rain, yin or yang, Russian roulette
Time to aim. Four for joy, five for pain

Nine bullets. I pull it to survive the game

[Hook: ANTHM]

That joy, that pain, you trying hard to maintain
Got problems all in your brain
And it feels like it won't change


That joy, that pain, you trying hard to maintain
Got problems all in your brain

And it feels like it won't change
That joy, that pain, that sunshine and that rain
That happiness that you gain, when you know it's getting better now


[Bridge]
Real late in the midnight hour, we look for therapy

What if that sun don't rise? There ain't no guarantee
Real late in the midnight hour, we look for therapy
But I know I'll be at peace when they bury me


But I know I'll be at peace when they bury me [x2]


[Verse 2: Freddie Gibbs]
Late night in the midnight hour
I walk in the shadow of death

All about money and power
Smoke some 'til there ain't nothing left
Smoke some 'til I cloud out my brain

Smoke some 'til I smoke out the pain
And I wanna go in for this
But these incidents got me going insane

Dear lord, this can't be livin'
That day mama birthed me
I know this ain't what she envisioned

That I'd ride custom cuts and Chevy's with chrome all in my engine
Too nervous to doll the surface, I'm losin' my religion
Gangster gibbs baby


[Hook 2: ANTHM]
That joy, that pain, you trying hard to maintain

Got problems all in your brain, and it feels like it won't change
That joy, that pain, that sunshine and that rain
That happiness you gain when you know it's getting better now


Have you seen my doubts and fears?
Have you seen my smiles and tears?

Trying to live my life, wouldn't be the same fight
If I lived for a thousand years, thousand years
But we're born, and we die, and we mourn, and we cry

'Til one day, we say goodbye

[Verse 3: ANTHM]

I was set to perform, in a world so cold, never expected it warm
I rejected the norms, swaggar jacking Jesus when I slept in a storm
But I woke up to the sunshine, had peace like a Buddhist

Surrounded by 12 people, each one was a Judas
But the truth is that I had to go through this
No person here, gotta roll dolo when I persevere

Damn, oh Fortuna please have mercy dear
No I ain't giving up that quick, $#&@ that %#@!
Feel my heart in that stuff I spit

Once I get my peace of mind I'm about to build my throne right above that %#@!

[Hook 2]

[ANTHM]

I feel that joy and pain, do what I overcame
You're always in my life, that's how I know your name
And when I feel that pain, that joy is novacane
Got me feeling right, do what I overcame


I feel that joy and pain, do what I overcame
I feel that joy and pain, do what I overcame
