Pastor P - Strength and Pain

Strength and pain this is my Purple Rain
Nip' said no traffic in your own lane
University adversity grad
Escape the realm of the dead with my dad
CT Fletcher on the press it's yo set
Blue faces hit different when you sweat
Weak manhood, I ain't feelin' that
Military mind, ready for combat
Stress my intellect essential for the culture
Spirituality free from the vultures
Scorners mock when they listen to Ebonics
Religious spirits manifesting is demonic
They say you're pretty sharp for a black man
Giving all the shade and try to shake my hand
Pain like a pregnant woman in travail
Pain like a lost soul in hell
Strength, too much for the simps
Where yo man card, boy you a wimp
50 page thesis 12 years ago
Never slow 'cause I got a righteous flow
Learned to drive a car on Pulaski road
In due season, you will reap what you sow
Fake people always get exposed
Cowards under pressure always fold
Strength and pain this is my Purple Rain
Nip' said no traffic in your own lane
University adversity grad'
Escape the realm of the dead with my dad
CT Fletcher on the press it's yo set
Blue faces hit different when you sweat
Weak manhood, I ain't feelin' that
Military mind, ready for combat
What is strength? Better yet, what is pain
Never profit from ill gotten gain
Moses spent 40 years in the wilderness
Nelson Mandela jail time, you hearin' this
Age 39 Malcolm and Martin
40 year black man is a problem
Jay said you gotta learn to swim with sharks
Free from the storm like Noah's ark
My mom and dad no longer on this earth
I had to ask God, was it all a curse
Trying not to cry as I write this verse
But I gotta be honest man it hurts
I guess that's the true meaning of pain
Strength is dealing with it like a grown man
Just a young black man on my grind
Renewed mind I'll blow in due time
Strength and pain this is my Purple Rain
Nip' said no traffic in your own lane
University adversity grad
Escape the realm of the dead with my dad
CT Fletcher on the press it's yo set
Blue faces hit different when you sweat
Weak manhood, I ain't feelin' that
Military mind, ready for combat
