(Spoken)
Sometimes, i wish the shit in my mind could b spoken. I wish my experiences could be seen. I wish my words could express my mental process so that people could understand. But it doesn't matter. They wouldn't believe me anyway

(Verse 1)
When I was young i remember coming home. 
I remember my mom yelling "why you doddling son?"
The cars sitting in the middle of the parking lot. 
I didn't know a gang banger was about to be shot
I remember the free coffee at the grocery store. 
I remember thugs bling they wanted more and more
I remember Swisher sweet smells as the thugs walked by
9 and 10 wondering why i couldn't try
I remember trips walking home from school
Like the day my brother got jumped by some kids thinking they cool
I remember the first gun i saw
It was pressed to my head by my step dad who thought he was law
I remember 9 years old when i learned about crips
Never as a gang banger but i hated bloods shit
Now i sit and wonder if the memories will fade
Meanwhile you tell me that all my shit is fake

(Hook)
They don't know
They never will
Its not their fault
They didnt feel
All the struggles 
All of the pain
But i guess
No pain no gain

(Verse 2)
I remember the way that it felt
Most kids would complain at the pain of a belt
Extension cords and 2 by 4s
Dirty names and hard tile floors
The fights that i was forced to fight
The taste of blood and fear in his eye
Some days i wish itd go away
And it will till another day

(Hook)
They don't know
They never will
Its not their fault
They didnt feel
All the struggles 
All of the pain
But i guess
No pain no gain

(Verse 3)
Graduation. Nobody came
Always told ull never see fame
You'll never go to college ull never succeed
You'll never get far. Why do you believe? 
Went on a mission 2 years for a church
Day after day verse after verse
No thank you not even good job
I guess they thought im not not good enough for God.
One day someone will pick up this page. 
They'll read it But what will they say?
They'll ball it up and throw it away. 
But what if this message gets to Someone
They're struggling. They think they're done
I hope these words give the strength to move on. 


(Hook)
They don't know
They never will
Its not their fault
They didnt feel
All the struggles 
All of the pain
But i guess
No pain no gain
