Beautiful Pain
2 Chainz Lyrics

Niggas study you, shawty know what a hundred do
People watch you closely, and the girl with me knows the value of money.

Actually the nigga backing me, Is right in front of you
The person supporting me is here, in front of you.

Raising a daughter, Sometimes depend what her father do
Raising a daughter can be affected by what her father does.

Niggas stunt on you, front on you
People might try to show off or disrespect you.

Niggas can't even ball but bunt on you, Them niggas lame
Some people can't even play well, but still make fun of you. They are not worth your time.

I hope you get testicular cancer in the brain, Dickhead, by the time you get fed, I be somewhere with a six pack and a six pack
This line is aggressive and not appropriate for interpretation. It is excluded.

Her lips and her hips thick, My boxers are covered in her lipstick, Her pussy fat but eatin' good, so that's a misprint
The woman I've been with has full lips and curvy hips. We've been intimate, but the line about her private parts being 'fat' is an incorrect statement (or 'misprint').

I'm a misfit, I did it and beyond, Shiny watch, lookin' like the old Diddy on my arm
I'm an outsider, but I've achieved success beyond that. I wear a nice watch, reminding others of rapper Diddy's style.

Highly flammable, barely keep getting in Canada, Run this rap shit, I got stamina
I am a risk-taker and always on the go, even if it means risking deportation from Canada. I am a leader in the rap industry, with plenty of energy and strength to keep going.

You an amateur, I aim at 'cha, I bang at 'cha, hope a plane hit 'cha, Fuck you and whoever came witcha
This line is aggressive and not appropriate for interpretation. It is excluded.

Trying to express the beautiful pain witcha, Like a tattoo of a framed picture, Of a dead homie, maybe a family member
I'm trying to convey the beauty of the pain I've experienced through my art - like a tattoo of someone I lost, maybe a family member or friend.

I got some gambling scriputres like um, Scared money don't make no money, Bet now motherfucker gonna take them from me
I have a few quotes about gambling, like 'scared money don't make no money,' which means you can't win big if you're too afraid to take risks. So I'm making bets and not holding back, even if I might lose.

Got ounces of loud you can hear me smoking, I be coughing on the crowd you can hear me choking nigga
I have a lot of high-quality cannabis and people can hear me smoking it. Sometimes I cough and it's audible in the crowd.

Oh I feel so fly, Came so far, but I still wanna fly, So come on in this car, this yacht, this plane, You see what this beautiful pain, provide, Baby look into my eyes, I'd be the man or I'd rather die, rather die
Despite achieving great success, I still want to continue to grow and excel. I invite people into my life and the luxury it brings. The pain I've experienced has brought me to where I am today and helped me become a better man.

You talk about hurting, Try washing clothes with no detergent, Daddy deserted so now we serve sandwich serving
You talk about being in pain, but try living with no resources, like no detergent to wash clothes. My father abandoned us, so now we work in low-paying jobs serving food to make ends meet.

Dreaming we had a furnace, It's cold we sleeping on the curtains, What can I say it got me highly motivated, Mama two job working, banana companies emerg
We dream of having a furnace and the money to afford basic comfort. It's cold and we're sleeping on the curtains. But this hardship has made me even more determined to succeed. My mother works two jobs, including at a banana company that's growing in demand.

I'm too young to have burdens, But still feel I should be further, But who am I kidding, I had bridges but I just burned them
I'm young and shouldn't have so many challenges, but I still wish I were further in life. I've made mistakes and burned some bridges, hurting relationships along the way.

My mama need earnings, Ain't have no time for higher learning, Call me a hypocrite, backslider, You name it I done heard it
My mother needs money, so I don't have time for further education right now. Some people call me a hypocrite or backslider, but I've heard it all before.

The way that they speak of me, You think I've already murdered, It's hard to be laid back, My haters so assertive, but
The way some people talk about me, it's like I've already committed a crime. It's hard to stay calm and ignore them, when they're so aggressive and persistent.

I gave my life up, I gave my rights up, I gave my dice up and I gave my dykes up, I gave my vice up and every club that lights up, And this is were the intern with no perm lights up
I've given up a lot in order to become successful, including my personal life and past vices. I've also given up the party scene and drinking. Even the intern with no permanent job can have her moment in the spotlight.

You don't see my pain, I guess it's beautiful pain, It gotta be beautiful pain, uh, yeah, yeah, Sometime, you don't gotta say much
People may not see the pain I've experienced or how it's shaped my life, but to me it's beautiful because it's helped me become who I am. Sometimes it's better to not say anything at all.

Life is a game of inches, Every move leads to something better, There is no time to pay the benches, Gotta get in the game and live forever, and ever
Life is full of small, incremental gains that can lead to bigger opportunities. There's no time to waste sitting on the sidelines, you have to take action and keep pushing forward.
