Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah
(Yeah, yeah)
I just can't take this pressure no more
(Take this pressure no more, take this pressure no more)
[Verse 2]
Why I feel like I've been in this place before?
I just can't take no more
I just can't smile like I'm still me, I just can't fake no more
I try to be all I can but that wasn't enough for them and
We can't find love so we replace it with these drugs again
[Verse 3]
I drink from this bottle dawg, it's my only friend
I'm so scared to be alone again
Fake smile on my face
I just can't keep pretending like I don't pretend
[Verse 4]
And my little homie's doing twenty-five
If God exists why he never try
To show us that this life is more than pain
'Cause it's hard to live when you're dead inside
And they say I'm worthless 'cause I ain't a Christian
They turn a church into a fucking business
They killed Jehovah, didn't leave a witness
And these preachers crooked as these politicians
[Verse 5]
Politics, religion, I don't see the difference
They crucify me 'cause I'm speaking different
Who the fuck are they to judge?
Tell me who are you to criticize the way I'm living?
40 ounces for the pain
I ain't been the same since I've seen my pops cry
I might be light skin to you
But I'm still a **** in the cop's eyes
They ain't stopping till we all die
Momma, I just hope you understand
I just couldn't take the pressure
Momma, see I tried my best to be a better man
And you might know my story dawg
But you won't ever know my pain
And she was all I needed
Now this bottle is my novocaine
I'm trying not to go insane
I'm trying not to go insane
I'm trying not to go insane
[Verse 6]
They say lately I ain't been the same (Lately I ain't been the same, ain't been the same, yeah)
But they won't ever know my pain (Know my pain, know my pain)
And I know lately, I ain't been the same (And I know lately I ain't been the same, lately I ain't been the same)
I just never really show my pain (Show my pain, show my pain, show my pain)
My pain (My pain, my pain)
[Verse 7]
Yeah, man I can't feel nothing no more
Fake love don't cut it no more
Homie, I've been drinking so much
Nothing staying in my stomach no more
I can't even feel the pain inside
I can't keep living in a lie
Yeah, I might be breathing just like everybody else
But I still don't feel alive
[Verse 8]
Every night man, I hear a pistol poppin'
Make me feel like God ain't really watchin'
Watch out for the snakes, they steady plottin'
Wanna put you in a cage or in a coffin
Nowadays, these cops just wanna kill
No love in the streets, don't wanna feel
What I felt when I heard my lil' brother passed
I'll never get him back but yo I still
[Verse 9]
Know his soul's still roamin' on the streets now
I just hope he's watching over me now
I just keep on praying
I've been tryna talk to God but these demons never leave
I know I lost myself along the way
I was just too scared to fade away
Now they all keep begging me to stay
But I can't be here another day
[Verse 10]
So I drink from this bottle till I feel numb again
I've been tempted by these drugs again
I know I ain't been the same
Momma told me she just wanna see her son again
I just wanna see her smile again
I don't ever wanna see her cry
So I lie and say that I'm okay
But, I've been plottin' on my suicide
[Verse 11]
And you might know my story dawg
But you won't ever know my pain
And she was all I needed
Now this bottle is my novocaine
I'm trying not to go insane, I'm
Trying not to go insane
I'm trying not to go insane
[Verse 12]
They say lately I ain't been the same (Lately I ain't been the same, ain't been the same, yeah)
But they won't ever know my pain (Know my pain, know my pain)
And I know lately, I ain't been the same (And I know lately I ain't been the same, lately I ain't been the same)
I just never really show my pain (Show my pain, show my pain, show my pain)
My pain (My pain, my pain)
[Verse 13]
I just don't show my pain (I just don't show my pain, I just don't show my pain)
