[Verse: A-Cross]
Stressing, got a few questions/
scraped my knee a few times I learned my lesson.
I need it, need guidance can't stop wiling/
we impoverished, why you think that we so violent?
I was tripping out, gangster fantasies I lived them out/
disobedient, walking with my chest sticking out.
Seen it all, I'm talking inmates cleaning walls/
to kingpins watch them gleam and fall.
You don't think at all, niggas be playing around/
thinking these streets gone love them and they mans hold him down.
But where is he now, need him? Nowhere to be found/
that's squares being round, difference is you headed for ground.
I'm staying grounded, that pavement we had to pound it/
cause you know success kind of like climbing a mountain.
Struck a cord with the youth, the fountain of youth we found it/
now it's four bank accounts, three lawyers, and two accountants (hold up).
[Chorus: Xone White]
See the pain in her eyes,
hear the pain when we cry/
feel the pain from inside.
We don't break down, we arise/
we don't die, we survive.
We never stop, but we only get wiser,
(learning from everything)
only get better,
don't make the same mistakes.
Only grow stronger,
how could you know what you'll gain/
if it all feels the same, you need the pain.
[Verse 2: A-Cross]
I was in deep pain, they left my sister dead three days/
guilt forming, I can't think straight.
My mind gone, even though success what my mind on/
it's still fuck my enemies it'll never be bygones.
Stay strong, and put it in God's hands/
you got a plan, you got a future Black man.
My mama had a stroke, I was there when it happened/
we just praying nothing come back on her cat-scan.
Cause that's my heart, what's left of it, she the better part/
you touch a hair on her pretty head I let it spark.
Seen evil, in the midst of chasing green people/
one day you have it all, the next day them things leave you.
Pain, I know that feeling very well/
what you know bout being processed in a holding cell.
You a bitch, you'll cry bout a broken nail/
I move bricks, I only cry bout a broken scale.
[Chorus: Xone White]
See the pain in her eyes,
hear the pain when we cry/
feel the pain from inside.
We don't break down, we arise/
we don't die, we survive.
We never stop, but we only get wiser,
(learning from everything)
only get better,
don't make the same mistakes.
Only grow stronger,
how could you know what you'll gain/
if it all feels the same, you need the pain.
