Pain Gang
Ill Bill Lyrics

From Don Corleone up to Tony Montana
From classic mafia movies, such as The Godfather and Scarface, to real-life gangsters with a similar lifestyle.

Whatever you are, homie, bikers and bandanas
Regardless of what group you belong to, whether it be bikers or gangsters, we all share similar tendencies.

Riders who c**k hammers or soldiers who roll deep
Those who are always prepared for combat, whether they be on a motorcycle or in a group.

I’m a child of the night, homie I don’t sleep
I am always alert and aware, never letting my guard down even at night.

My crew, we slow creep while you’re counting your sheep
While you are sleeping, we are quietly and slowly approaching, getting closer and closer by the moment.

We bang on anybody stepping up to bleed in the street
We will fight anyone who challenges us, and we are not afraid to use violence on the streets.

Maybe you got what it takes to lead a team of cutthroats
Perhaps you have the necessary skills to lead a group of violent criminals.

Maybe you hang around with a crew of f**k holes
Perhaps you are friends with a group of people who are reckless and lack moral fiber.

Fakes, frauds, fictional bangers
There are those who pretend to be gangsters, but lack the true experience and lifestyle.

Never held a heater until you had someone take your picture
You have never held a gun until someone captured a photo of you doing it for show or to impress others.

Looking invincible with it, you did it for glory
You felt powerful and unbeatable while holding the gun, and did it for the sake of showing off.

Some did it for real and others they tell stories
Some have actually experienced and lived the gangster life, while others merely tell stories and exaggerate their experiences.

But the collective we have here’s respected
The group of gangsters that I am affiliated with is highly regarded and respected within the community.

Making you an offer you should never reject it
Our group has a lot to offer, and it would be foolish for anyone to turn down what we have to offer.

You roll with the ? over, baby the math is simple
If you choose to join our group, you will be rolling with us and the stakes will be high.

It’s pop pop pop in your temple
If you cross us or betray the group, we will use guns to eliminate you as a threat.

IRA scheming, PLO dreaming, Celtic heathen, peckerwood demon
Referencing various groups that have a history of violence and aggression, including the Irish Republican Army, Palestinian Liberation Organization, Celtic pagans, and white supremacists.

Kicking and screaming through the depths of hell
These groups are willing to fight and struggle for their beliefs, even if it means going through immense pain and suffering.

Bareback riding on a jezebel
They are recklessly riding with no protection, like someone who is riding a horse without a saddle.

The hammer’s cocked, you get shot by the shell
If you mess with these groups or threaten their beliefs, they will respond with firearms and you will be seriously injured or killed.

I burned an angel’s wings then sang while he fell
The artist has caused harm to a good or holy person, and does not feel regret about it.

There’s a party in hell, there’s a war in heaven
There is chaos and unrest both in hell and in heaven, suggesting that even the afterlife is not exempt from conflict and turmoil.

The whole world’s been shook since 9/11
The world has been destabilized and experienced significant conflict and violence since the September 11th terrorist attacks in the US.

With Muslim extremists and Zionists
Both Islamic extremists and Jewish Zionists have contributed to violence and conflict in the world.

Trying to rule the world with an iron fist
These groups are attempting to impose their beliefs and ideals on the world through force and violence.

While the junkies and the dealers are doing the bids
While these groups are focused on violence and conflict, there are others who are simply trying to survive by participating in illegal drug activity and serving time in prison as a result.

Uncle Howie say it’s time for evolution, kids
The singer's uncle is encouraging them to grow and evolve, implying that the group's current mindset is primitive and outdated.

Don’t spill your blood on foreign land
Do not sacrifice your life for wars and conflicts in countries that you have no connection to.

Come outside on the block with your gun in your hand
Take action in your own community, rather than getting involved in conflicts that do not directly impact you.

You’re mad as f**k and won’t take it no more
You are frustrated and angry with the injustices in your community, and you are ready to take action.

Buck shots in the air like you ready for war
You are displaying your readiness for battle, by firing your gun into the air to show your strength.

We don’t die, we multiply
The group will continue to exist and grow, even if individual members are killed or imprisoned.

This song was not made to glorify gang culture
The artist is not promoting or glorifying gang activity with this song.

Nor to explore the lives of soldiers or street villains
The song is not intending to romanticize or normalize violence and criminal activity.

Ghetto superstars, political heroes
There are individuals in the community who have even greater influence and power than gangs, including influential figures and political leaders.

Compton G’s to Brooklyn DeNeros
Referring to gang members from different neighborhoods and cities across the US.

Range from children to killers, prisoners to peace prize winners
Members of these groups span a variety of life experiences, from young children to convicted murderers to Nobel Peace Prize winners.

Our tax dollars pay for no justice and no peace

An empty crack box crushed by ten year feet
The environment in these communities is so toxic that even children are exposed to drugs and crime, as evidenced by a ten-year-old stepping on an empty crack box.

On their way to school past the meth heads and dope fiends
Even on the way to school, children in these communities are exposed to drug addicts and dealers.

Anatomy of a true banger, I ain’t s**t without my homeboys
The true identity of a gangster involves their connection to their fellow gang members. Without the support of their group, they are nothing.

f**k with my set, you get your crew strangled
If you challenge or threaten the group, they will respond with violence and retaliation against you and your group.

I won’t be convicted like Jimmy Coonan

And you not a gangster, who the f**k you think you fooling?

My ruthless brilliance soon to produce me millions
