2pac - So Much Pain -izzamuzzic: Remix- Lyrics

So fuck what you thought, I'm drinkin' Hennessey, runnin' from my enemies Will I live to be 23? There's so much pain My life is like a mixtape, it's full of static And every time I try to flip it, it's automatic I'm gettin' drastic, I'm livin' bastard I'm out of prison, but still I'm in a casket They got me stressin', these questions, I need to know Why do the cops give a fuck about a po' man? Is it 'cause I'm black, or is it 'cause I'm dangerous? And if I ever get a chance, I'll change the shit From the first day I was born, trouble was my shadow I never knew a damn thing about a merry-go Life is a battle, I'm livin' in a war zone Keep thinkin' 'bout the things that I been through My homies tell me, Pac, that I should pray But what the fuck can I say? God can have the other day 'Cause right now, it's the struggle, my life's a puddle of muddy water I'm a soldier, standin' at the altar I'm tired of the stress and the strain, the pain I'm losin' my fuckin' brain, it's drivin' me insane

Ja Rule sets the tone with a verse that begins with a dedication to his fallen peers, immediately grounding the song in a narrative of loss. 2pac - so much pain -izzamuzzic remix- lyrics
