No pain (no pain)
No pain (no pain)
No gain (no gain)
No pain (no pain)
No pain (no pain)
No gain (no gain)

Take a long time to learn and some people, they never get it
You shouldn't talk about it if you know you never did it
The hardest thing I ever had to do is see a friend die
Touched me somewhere deep inside the day I see my mama cry
People say we gotta leave, mama couldn't pay the rent
I was just a little nigger, really couldn't do shit
I ain't sayin' my particular situation is unique
And I ain't sayin' you gotta believe every word that I speak
Maybe there's someone out there who's goin' through some real pain
Maybe I inspire them when I talk about my life
Like never been a superstar
Travelled all around the world
Groupies and expensive cars
That's the better story to tell
The hard times, stressed out, feelin' like it's only you
Goin' through fuck shit
Feel like ain't nothin' left to do
But negative to make your life more positive
It's all on you, pimpin' what I'm sayin' nigger
No pain (no pain)
No pain (no pain)
No gain (no gain)
No pain (no pain)
No pain (no pain)
No gain (no gain)
No pain (no pain)
No pain (no pain)
No gain (no gain)
No pain (no pain)
No pain (no pain)
No gain (no gain)
Still duckin' from sirens (no pain)
I went and got my own work when nobody was hirin'
A shoe box and a stash box no financial advisor
And I'll die before I'll place my right hand upon a bible
In other words I'll see a grave before I'll testify to things that I've witnessed and survived through
Look at me, servin' like me workin' at a drive through
Sixteen and married to the fast money, I do
Comin' from the bottom where so many people died through
According to the guns I shouldn't've made it out of high-school
I just go and get it, we in deep shit if I lose
You get in my way then you'll be makin' Channel 5 news
I'm out tryin' to make enough cake for all my brothers
But Gimmy got shot and close won't cut it
If you look check to check, nothin' you can do or budget
Bet me, I'm on the interstate in a rental car from budget
I'm flyer than a pro in all-black but I'm duckin' cause I know that they gon' see me
Up the river if they bust me
Yea I got a check cause I practiced and studied
I believe in skill, you believe in bein' luggy
When you involve money, niggers' visions get fuzzy
All I got is kin, I got no roof or friends and buddies
I'm headin' to the top, head first from out the gutter
If I get away smooth I can't believe I'm not butter
No pain (no pain)
No pain (no pain)
No gain (no gain)
No pain (no pain)
No pain (no pain)
No gain (no gain)
No pain (no pain)
No pain (no pain)
No gain (no gain)
No pain (no pain)
No pain (no pain)
No gain (no gain)
Nothing is ever for free, your greatest weapon is knowledge
The streets was pullin' on me so I didn't get off to college
I learned this world on my own, no classroom or teachers
I got my money from geekers, hear my life through your speakers
People love me have to struggle so they hear me and feel it
My persona kinda pimpers with the humblest spirit
Ain't got no hate for no niggers but hustle all I respect
If you got kids and family you need to go find a check
I know that shit don't be easy so mamas do it alone
Just a baby with a baby tryin' to leave on her own
I know you heard it before, it was on my heart so I said it
Really I typed in my phone, went in a booth and I read it
Over a beat that inspired what I got off inside
I know people that's getting' it hard and they sick and they tired
Working extra hard tryin' to keep the little shit they got
Ask everyone who did it how they made it to the top
No pain (no pain)
No pain (no pain)
No gain (no gain)
No pain (no pain)
No pain (no pain)
No gain (no gain)
No pain (no pain)
No pain (no pain)
No gain (no gain)
No pain (no pain)
No pain (no pain)
No gain (no gain)
No pain (no pain)
No pain (no pain)
No gain (no gain)
No pain (no pain)
No pain (no pain)
