Confession
P.A.I.N. Management Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be on my mark, I'm almost set and now I'm running
Mentally attentive should incase my master call me
This ring is so important, I can't miss eternal rest
Oh father heavenly, for I have sinned and still might sin
But when you smite me just let my music live
I'm so ahead of me, sometimes I wonder if I'm doing what the lord has destined for me to be
My cousin told me dumb it down so you double your streams
I'll chase the passion, build the mansion from some other deals
And take the proceeds and invest it in my passion still
Win, win
I never have to travel my mind is my pilgrim
Atrocities at your city, something I'll never spill like Cassidy
Last of a dying breed, they'll surely miss me when I'm gone
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever have peace of mind
These are my confessions, These are my confessions
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever make it out alive
These are my confessions, These are my confessions
Confessions is rare, and the motive is clear
I say it once and won't repeat it cos my time is of essence
The truth is, I don't trust
Since I was born, I've been the kid up in the block
Who never mix up with the ones, who never pour out of their cups
To all my peeps out in the world, who steady recite all my words, take time to process my thoughts
I'm from an eastern state of mind, that's why I'm business minded
Profits over profits don't think I can overstress it
I'll kill an effing Nigga, who wanna mess with my profit
Sue me later, beat the case, I'm not worried about it
I'm more catholic than a Pope
What I'm serving make em choke
And the devil's moving close
I'm just moving coast to coast
He can never catch me close
And my life is on the road
My frustrations eating deep but it can never daint my hope
No such thing as a life that's better than mines
Even though I contemplate, I steadily just grind for mines
So while I wait for this penance of mine
I just wan be number one on the finish line
True that!
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever have peace of mind
These are my confessions, These are my confessions
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever make it out alive
These are my confessions, These are my confessions
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever have peace of mind
These are my confessions, These are my confessions
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever make it out alive
These are my confessions, These are my confessions

He can never catch me close
I am resilient and will avoid being caught or defeated by negative forces or obstacles
And my life is on the road
My career and lifestyle involve constant travel and mobility
My frustrations eating deep but it can never daint my hope
Although I experience frustration and hardships, I maintain hope and resilience
No such thing as a life that's better than mines
I am confident and proud of my own life and experiences
Even though I contemplate, I steadily just grind for mines
Despite challenges or doubts, I keep working hard and pursuing my goals
So while I wait for this penance of mine, I just wan be number one on the finish line
While I wait for consequences or redemption for my past actions, I prioritize achieving success and recognition in my career
True that!
I strongly agree with my previous statement
