Faiyabrand - P.A.I.N., Pt. 1

All I knew was pain
What don't kill you makes you stronger
But my Jesus saves
By His stripes we rise and conquer
Have a little faith
If you wait a little longer
You gon' be okay
By His saving grace
All I knew was pain
What don't kill you makes you stronger
But my Jesus saves
By His stripes we rise and conquer
Have a little faith
If you wait a little longer
You gon' be okay
By His saving grace
Hard times coming like apartheid
Lost in my thoughts man I can't lie
Running through memories like a hard drive
Pushing all this pain to the archives
Let me set the stage for my solo
I knew the Most High but was so low
You see my wisdom call me Solomon
But was moving like I'm solo, man
Fam, the gang life was a motive
Led the pack like I was Moses
Ask LJ, blood we were the coldest
Beast mode on ferocious
Team Avengers with the focus
We end the reign of our opponents
I'm not saying I condone this
But mate, my past life is atrocious
In London it’s a Mazza
Born and bred to act hard
Raised in the jungles of our backyards
In our Edens it’s a hazard
Coming from a place where we thank God
When you make it home with your bank card
Coz head tops pop when we crack glass
Even in our shops you'll get hammered
You can call the police
Tell them all I'm a thief
But to the Lord I'm a priest
Royal - whole other league
Oil - anointing on me
When it comes to pain I been there
When you can’t afford good skin care
When you got no money for a trim yeah
No money for a- it was peak
All I knew was pain
What don't kill you makes you stronger
But my Jesus saves
By His stripes we rise and conquer
Have a little faith
If you wait a little longer
You gon' be okay
By His saving grace
All I knew was pain
What don't kill you makes you stronger
But my Jesus saves
By His stripes we rise and conquer
Have a little faith
If you wait a little longer
You gon' be okay
By His saving grace
I know about them nights not eating
I’ve been so broke I got lunch by stealing
Stabbings and splashings; them mad tings, I seen it
Evening to evening enduring them beatings
I know about holes in your school shoes
I know about BBM and Bluetooth
I know about bullying the new yute
I know about heartbreaks, it was usual
I know about getting it in the face
I know about feeling disgraced
My sanity waned like every day
I wanted to go MIA, every day
I know about being called names
Called anorexic; it was hectic
Suicidal thoughts kinda crept in
But called upon the LORD and He stepped in like…
Surely I need your liberty
To be F-R double E
LORD you are my remedy
Joy in my heart my melody
I know about crying to sleep
Due to hunger and beats
Due to getting bullied
Due to talks with police
Due to storms in the sea
Due to gyal, it was peak
Due to smoke, due to pokes on the street
2-2 bangs to the cheek
2-2 - CTRL, ALT, and DELETE
