Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Drowning in pain
I'm going through phases it might change me but I'm still the same
Do you feel
Do you feel the pain
Do you feel the pain
This life is so crazy one time you be up the next you down
I just pray the lord forgive me
I been working overtime grab the glock and let it off these niggas snitching hear they putting in some statements
Ain't give me nothing had to sit out in the rain
Niggas balling like the lakers I was waiting for a ticket
I got my back so when I fall I still stand tall
All in they mouth I'm so sweet just like its mentos
I'm in the bando mix the whitney with the fentanyl
I been going through this shit I feel all depression
I see my enemies I call em just to let 'em know
If you really wanna take it there you won't like it
If I Call up on my dawg find you like a psychic
Like a psychic, man
All this pressure I've been feeling it
All this pressure I've been feeling it, yea
All this pain I've been healing it
Man I sip the lean to stay sane
I still feel the pain everyday
When I crashed the whip I got out
Man I seen the car was burned down
I thank God for the seatbelt
I seen lean I seen lean on my ceiling
I can't change this feeling
I'm going through phases it might change me but I'm still the same
Do you feel
Do you feel the pain
Do you feel the pain
I be talking to my girl she say I'm acting different
When I seen her with another nigga I didn't feel it
I just want her to be happy with or without me
Either way imma get the cash I'm get it out
Imma put in work go harder
Imma stand up when I fall down
Imma get the king the the crown
Man I'mma rep my mo'fucking town
Can you feel the pain in my sound
Can you feel the pain in my sound
Drowning drowning in pain
I'm drowning drowning in pain
I lost it all I don't know how a nigga still winning
I pray to God everyday but I'm still sinning
I lost a brick I flipped my wrist and got it back
You was my nigga but you switched and turned your back
I lost it all I flipped my wrist I got it back
You know Triple T run it like a track
Pass it to my nigga Bead flip it back to back
Aiming at these opps we be aiming at they hats
Drowning in pain
I'm going through phases it might change me but I'm still the same
Do you feel




Do you feel
Do you feel the pain
