Joys Of Pain ft. Bishop T.D. Jakes "intrerlude" Lyrics

Truth be told, every champion has felt it

Every president has felt it

Every king has felt it

Every lion has felt it

Every winner has felt it

Every soldier has felt it

Every victorious person has felt it

The urge to admit

Don't you give up on your dream

I don't care if you don't have the money, you don't have the help, and you don't have

the family for it, and you don't have the background for it, and you don't have the

friends for it

Don't you give up on your dream

Don't you do it

Don't you do it

Don't you do it

Appreciate the blessings

Lord, you know I'm stressing

Thinking about my mama and the life that she's expecting

She knows I try my best

I hope that she don't feel neglected

Cause all she want is time and I be moving by the second

But time is of the essence and her lectures never catch it

I'm just trying to perfect it anytime she needs protection

My pops is like a veteran through his eyes

I felt connected to the pain that he was bearing

Highs and lows of being married

Highs and lows of being buried

As a man, I understand

Never want to leave the fam without the means to advance

It made the hood feel like a mansion

Fed the streets without a question

Never headed for the exit

Which is why I try my best to be invested while I'm present

Cause this shit feel like a segment

Told you Shasta said she pregnant

Wonder if she never kept it

If my life would be this hectic

In the end, I don't regret it

Just don't use her as a weapon

But you did and I'm affected

In time I had a wife and kids

Crib with the wooden fence

Feeling like the Jeffersons

Forgot I had some felonies

Middle finger to the judge cause he forgot it's melanin

Sent me up the river for some time that I was better than

Little did I know I needed that cold medicine

Showed me that my dogs were not my dogs and not to let em in

Friends turned to foes like some hoes

Feining estrogen

Sitting on my bunk as my chick was sending letters in

Sent resembled peppermints

Never snitched for gold or rich

I was on the boldest shit

My Cody did some Cody shit

He ain't do no folded shit

I had a plan

He ain't commit

We took a plea but never switched

No Architect can seal the bridge

We split the sea like Moses did

Fuck it bring my sisters in

Smoke for them magnificent

Genetically got four of them

One of which I'm pouring in

The others on some foreign shit

I'm focused

I ignore the shit while hoping we can form again

Sticking by my brother though

Over him I let it go

Fight until my fingers swole

Or shoot until my clip explode

Spin the block and skip the toll

To shield him from a wicked soul

Greatest man I've ever known

His daughter looking like his clone

In the joint I hit his phone

And told him I can hold my own

Aiming for judicial but it's prison

So you never know

Glad they never found the pole

The shit I did was far from goals

My Bunky was denied parole

My motion was approved to go

Joy's of pain
