Pain for Profit Lyrics

Blood - sweat - tears - yeah - I traded it for profit

Outran fears - but they waiting in my coffin

I can't slow down cuz I hear the demons talking

They keep on knocking

Blood - sweat - tears - yeah - I traded it for profit

Outran fears - but they waiting in my coffin

I can't slow down cuz I hear the demons talking

And they keep on knocking

Stabbed me in the back I got a knife now

And I'm cold as ice now

I'm going take the right away

Cuz all I know is right now

Fuck the high road - I gotta travel way to many miles

Fuck a genre - what I gotta say decides my style

Gotta get high - just to balance out the lows sometimes

I didn't turn into a beast - a sheep is how I've been disguised

There ain't nothing sweet here

Like my blood got venom in it

Vultures trying to eat here

Watch em die off any minute

If catch me slipping you going have to wake up right away

Keep crossing the line - you going find - that I'm not for play

Devils on my shoulders - and he's telling me they gotta pay

They murked all my angels - so nobody's bout to tell me wait

I know we got different DNA - we cut from some different strands

I see the fix - I write the script - and then that shit's out my hands

It started simple - but now you see how it starts to span

That pain you gave away - I flip it cuz that's who I am

Blood - sweat - tears - yeah - I traded it for profit

Outran fears - but they waiting in my coffin

I can't slow down cuz I hear the demons talking

They keep on knocking

Blood - sweat - tears - yeah - I traded it for profit

Outran fears - but they waiting in my coffin

I can't slow down cuz I hear the demons talking

And they keep on knocking

These people wasn't working for me so I had to lay em off

I can tell that smile is fake - nigga you can take it off

I know if you see me on the edge - you'd try to push me off

Keep that same energy - killa - why you trying to talk

Tables turning - bridges burning just to light the way

I'mma keep on burning up - until I make brighter day

Told myself to turn this up - cuz I don't care bout what you say

All these fucking games get made - but yet with me you wanna play

I'm on the road where the roses can't grow

And niggas sell they soul just to pay the fucking toll

She wan't me to stop - but I can't even go slow

And I gotta keep the aim - cuz I see the damn goal

Life is held by worry – worry for what is pending 

And yet it's way to short – to worry about offending 

Doubts they've try to lend me – but I know I cannot borrow 

The world I live in is bending – and it might just break tomorrow

Blood - sweat - tears - yeah - I traded it for profit

Outran fears - but they waiting in my coffin

I can't slow down cuz I hear the demons talking

They keep on knocking

Blood - sweat - tears - yeah - I traded it for profit

Outran fears - but they waiting in my coffin

I can't slow down cuz I hear the demons talking

And they keep on knocking

All they do is take until I'm left here empty

All I do is hustle till I'm way too filthy

All I move is mountains and that's on the daily

Mind already made - so you cannot sway me

Lil mamma crying - think she need a tissue

It's funny - cuz my money's gotta thyroid issue

Counting blessings as I slide em up into the pistol

Need a blessing I'll provide it - cuz you know I got you

I've been talking to myself - cuz they can't take that honesty

I could make her melt - call my convo here cripy creame

If you need someone to lean on - then look away from me

If you trying hide a flaw - baby I ain't maybelline

I gave everything - you tried to pull more out of me

No one's here to blame - this beast was always inside of me

Now I'm changing thangs - upside down - stranger thangs

My nuts can't help but hang - yup - like orangatangs

Blood - sweat - tears - yeah - I traded it for profit

Outran fears - but they waiting in my coffin

I can't slow down cuz I hear the demons talking

They keep on knocking

Blood - sweat - tears - yeah - I traded it for profit

Outran fears - but they waiting in my coffin

I can't slow down cuz I hear the demons talking

And they keep on knocking
