It's like pain is our only inspiration
You don't study, you not prepared and cats is testin, you
It's like pain is our only inspiration
Where do we go? What do we say? What do we do?
It's like pain is our only inspiration
I take you very serious and make you write more
What's real? Blood spills, gun kill, the sun still rise
Where do we go for inspiration?
Yeah, I see a place where little boys and girls
No one to hold 'em while they growin'
Where do we go for inspiration?
Everybody want the cake up, to break up with the crew
What you gonna do when you gotta face?
I find a place in my heart for this hip-hop
Where do we go for inspiration?
Above me, trust me, it must be, morning time
People die, people heal, people steal and people shed tears
They livin' moment to moment without a care in the whole world
Now, if I could help it I tell it just like it is
People die, people heal, people steal and people shed tears
It's too late to make up some excuse
I know this, that people lie, people kneel
Where do we go? What do we say? What do we do?
If I don't celebrate, I got nothing to fight for
Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run and there's nothin' new
The trouble you could get into
The manifestation of the words that you put in space
I know this, that people lie, people kneel
It's like pain is our only inspiration
I come from people who stand stronger than time and space
What's real? blood spills, gun kill, the sun still rise
Where do we go? What do we say? What do we do?
It's like pain is our only inspiration
And I may say some things that you don't like to hear
Everybody want the cake up, to break up with the crew
Above me, trust me, it must be, morning time
And I may say some things that you don't like to hear
They already there, you cant take 'em out
The studio gangsta inside you tryin' to break out
Where do we go for inspiration?
But when the karma come back for what you do
I'm tight y'all, I walk the street like y'all
No one to hold 'em while they growin'
About action, talk is cheap, right y'all?
I'm tight raw, excite y'all like nightfall
Where do we go for inspiration?
Where do we go for inspiration?
And pump blood through my vein, my skin get hot
But when the Karma comes back for what you do
You start yappin' think about the beef you might cause
They livin' moment to moment without a care in the whole world
It's like pain is our only inspiration
Are shells in the oceans not knowin' they a pearl
Now, if I could help it I tell it just like it is
Wake up, the stake's up
Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run and there's nothin' new
Yeah, I see a place where little boys and girls
Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run and there's nothin' new
Wake up, the stake's up
Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run and there's nothin' new
Wherever there's competition you gonna find the race
Are shells in the oceans not knowin' they a pearl
Where do we go? What do we say? What do we do?
Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run and there's nothin' new
Where do we go? What do we say? What do we do?
