So much pain
It's never the pain of a migraine
But the pain of a million slaves slain
And they speak to me, God talks through me
If I'm offending your religion or race
Now sue me are these the profound words of
A prophet for sure?
Does Christopher Wallace play chess
With 2Pac Shakur?
We're on the other side of lost souls cryin'
My third eye relies on faith
I keep fire lights
Spirit slash math, on a path to Mount Zion
Hexcel, blow the bell-horse to keep ridin'
My thoughts psychotic at times
Who will support it?
Will I ever discuss life with
My seed that was aborted?
Does my spirit gets absorbed in a
Tape when they record it
That's the reason why emcees'
Lives get shorted
Salvation's worth more than
Platinum and gold, can you afford it?
It's morbid but I manifest pain
And put it in orbit

I said it's morbid it's like the other day
I just took the gun from underneath the bed
And put the barrel to my head
I was just too afraid to pull the trigger, I
You know it

You know it's pain
When you can't see the sun from the rain
You know it's pain
When there's fire in your eyes
And you can't see you know it's pain
When you get down on your knees and pray
You know it's pain
When misery's your only friend

Talk to 'em, Pharoahe
