Take the Pain Away
ScHoolboy Q Lyrics

Wassup nigga? Where you bout to go nigga?
What are you up to, my friend? Where are you planning to go?

Oh yeah? To the store?
Oh really? Are you going to the store?

Aite here nigga, bring me some Doritos
Alright then, my friend, please bring me some Doritos

You can't put 50 cent more to it?
Can you not add an extra 50 cents to it?

You know a nigga doing bad
You know that I'm struggling financially

Look out for your young nigga one time
Watch out for your young friend just this once

I'm just hoping for a better day
I'm simply wishing for a better day

Prayin' to the Lord, hope to call me up today
Praying to God, hoping he will reach out to me today

Sell dope for a rainy day
Selling drugs to save for a difficult day in the future

But the pigs love to keep the boy afraid
But the police officers enjoy keeping people like me scared

So I smoke to take the pain away
So I smoke marijuana to alleviate my pain

Hell yeah I'm feeling made tonight
Hell yeah, I'm feeling victorious tonight

Just got 20 dollars getting blazed tonight
Just received 20 dollars and planning to smoke marijuana tonight

Right
Yes

I'm just happy just to wake up
I'm simply grateful to wake up each day

Without a dime can't put the Folgers in the cup
Without any money, I can't afford to buy Folgers coffee

Tried to get a buck, so I hit a little slut
Tried to make some money, so I had sex with a promiscuous woman

Phone turned off, can't even hit her up
My phone is disconnected, I can't even contact her

A nigga feeling kinda stressed out
I'm feeling quite stressed

Walk down the block see My nigga stretched out
I walk down the street and see my friend lying lifeless

Can't even pout, more to reminisce about
I can't even complain, there is more to reflect on

Paying my condolences up at his sister house
Offering my condolences at his sister's house

Heading to the laundromat to Wash a little clothes
Going to the laundromat to do some laundry

Instrumental playin' kick a little flows
Listening to an instrumental and freestyling a bit

Say whats up to my bro's
Greet my friends

Whatup groove, cuz all of that Anyway I'm headin' to the drier
What's up, my friend? Because of all that, I'm heading to the dryer

After that see my supplier
After that, I'll see the person I get drugs from

Shit, hopefully a nigga come up on some fire
Hopefully, I'll get some high-quality drugs

But remember not a dime on me
But remember, I don't have any money on me

Tryna get a dime homie
Trying to get ten dollars, my friend

I swear to God, I ain't lyin' homie
I promise to God, I'm not lying, my friend

Sometimes I wanna call my momma up
Sometimes I want to call my mother

But every time I call seems She don't give a fuck
But every time I call, it seems like she doesn't care

I guess it's just the luck
I guess it's just my luck

People always leave me stuck
People always abandon me

Wanna break down but gotta keep pushin' up
I want to break down, but I have to keep moving forward

What the fuck a only child can do
What can a lonely child do?

Gramds passed away, mom's said go on through
My grandparents died, and my mom told me to continue living

Only thing I got is my girl and my dogs
The only things I have are my girlfriend and my dogs

Swear to god i don't wanna lose it all
I promise to God that I don't want to lose everything

I got homies
I have friends

I don't think they ridin' to the end
I don't think they will support me until the end

Niggas fake as fuck lookin' Past all they grins
People are extremely fake, hiding their true intentions behind their smiles

Just tryna get some ends
Just trying to make some money

Hopefully can get a Benz
Hopefully, I can afford to buy a Mercedes Benz

And I'll do this shit just To keep them niggas in
And I'll engage in illicit activities just to maintain loyalty from my friends

I just need a lil bread bro
I just need a little money, brother

Tryna pay my momma hopefully get a kiss yo
Trying to provide for my mother and hopefully get a kiss from her

This shit can really make you sick though
This situation can truly make you feel unwell

I just wanna go
I just want to leave

I don't see how you niggas do it saying cuz
I don't understand how you guys can do it, saying cousin

Blood, little nigga sound foolish
Brother, the young man sounds foolish

Little nigga murdered Hangin' out at Fatburger
The young man was killed while hanging out at Fatburger

Another tattoo, time to take the beef further
Getting another tattoo, it's time to escalate the conflict

Ran down the block Thought I heard a couple shots
Ran down the street, thought I heard a couple of gunshots

Made it to the scene Another nigga off the team
Arrived at the location, another person from my group is dead

Back to gettin' cream Still relyin' on the fiends
Back to selling drugs, still dependent on the addicts

Wish I could take it back to When a nigga had a dream
I wish I could go back to when I had dreams for a better future

But gangbangin' love to enter nigga's lifes
But getting involved in gang activities loves to disrupt people's lives

So your life ain't right
So your life is not in order

Young gauge earnin' strips
Young gang member gaining reputation and respect

Started puffin drugs then you Start sayin cuhz
Started using drugs, then you started identifying with a gang

Didn't have a choice that's the way shit was
Didn't have a choice, that's just the way things were

I swear I need to set it to the side
I promise, I need to put it aside

But when I hear Pac make a nigga wanna ride
But when I hear 2Pac's music, it makes me want to engage in gang violence

I guess I'm a hypocrite
I suppose I'm a hypocrite

Still hangin' with the hypo-crips
Still associating with the gang members who speak falsely
