Chorus (2x)
Pain- Is it a feeling or emotion?/
A sense of the body or a visionary's notion?/

Is it at its worst when only shared by the chosen?/
Or when the masses have it, and we don't even know it?


K-Not
A warrior's ambition is to reach Valhalla/
Upon death, his last breath, praise be to Allah/

But jihad is just one struggle that's real/
Everyday a father loses a son to drug deals/
A new Basquiat may start his ascension/

Then die from his addiction at age 27/
What will it take for us to get to heaven?/
I can't help but to think of all the sacrifices given/

Ugh/
Ghandi had a mission, Martin had dream/
Kennedy had a vision- none of them are livin'/

The millions that are dead, the Mandela's in prision/
Laid their lives and paid a price for my existence/
More work is needed as there's still an affliction/

Pregnant teen mothers that are poverty stricken/
Misery is almost a medical condition/
In life where death is the only prescription.


Chorus (2x)


Que
Give somebody an inch and they'll take a mile/
Flip quick, talk %#@!, and then fake a smile/

I know it should be criminal to be that cynical/
Condition of my mind state is critical/
Cause every man is born with a free will/

Nine times out of ten they won't choose to be chill/
So I'ma be real/
The only way to escape pain is to die, get high, or to be killed/

But pain is not the enemy/
It's a necessary tool to help you cherish serenity/
So my threshold is infinity/

You know the saying- No pain, no gain/
Man I'm just sayin'/
Cause like a hole in your caboose/

Everybody's got an excuse for why they lose/
But they got it confused/
Have patience, weather every storm/

Cause even after the coldest winter it gets warm.
