Pain Management (Part I) ft. Statik Selektah Lyrics

I saw a meme today, it said: "Stop Consuming, Start Creating"

But, every day's an undertaking, I'm hardly awake and

I keep on making this painful art for ya'll to play it

And ya'll hardly engaging

Things are getting stranger

Started realizing all the happy people around me, were largely faking

We all part God and part Satan

We all part heart and part brain-stem

Arguing for control over our soul, as we spark mayhem

Used to think the world was rid of all the beef and hatred

Now I don't think we'll probably see a day when we erase it

Can't believe this country's still just completely racist

Got me wanting to scream in pain like a teething baby

My life needed a course correct

Couldn't get my thoughts in check

Surrounded by all this death

I needed some more in-depth music

To properly express my confusion

And my complicated views on all the daily news

This shit is less than amusing

Spent years surviving a virus just to then die in a mass shooting?

That shit is past stupid

400 shootings since last June

And still not a single fucking thing's improving

Every person alive could use some soothing

Some wisdom for the wounded

That's when we turn to music

Still I'm up at night, just thinking a mile a minute

Getting closer to the finish line

But, I keep on tripping...damn
