The Mirror [Pain is Love]
My life, my love
Is it in vain or am I ashamed?
Of what I came from or what I might become?
Some say that love is pain
Some believe pain is love my heart
My soul's yearning for your love's pain
You need to get you some
Come on and get you some
Some people say love is pain
Some believe that pain is love
Yo, how could one ever know that I'm forgiven
This bitterness and resentment
Block the flow of God's blessings in life
You know it's stressing me, right?
Holding on in the hurt, poison
Them emotional scars
And locked doors that shouldn't be open
The lines is too thin like coke and cheap gin
Like ghettos that turn good kids into gunmen
I'm wondering if all my niggas fall anything
How the fuck we gon' stand for something?
Impossible's nothing
When ya fucking with a nigga with a attitude
100 Miles and Runnin', like and Cube
Like Jesus to Judas
The betrayal is nothing short of ruthless
I'll die before I pretend
I had the power to exorcise, selfish all over
When I am
Tempted to see the darker side of my life
I reframe
From entering into traps of temptation
But sometimes I gotta ask
Myself this question, lord
My life, my love
Is it in vain or am I ashamed?
Of what I came from or what I might become?
Some say that love is pain
Some believe pain is love my heart
My soul's yearning for your love's pain
You need to get you some
Come on and get you some
Some people say love is pain
Some believe that pain is love
My mind is playing tricks like
Look but don't touch touch but don't taste
Taste but don't swallow
No one's promised tomorrow
But pray for the days to follow
I'm so confused to be honest
Is my faith in the almighty
Or the almighty dollar? The father, the son
A hundred to one, the bullet, the gun
Kill somebody innocently that ya love
In my lifetime I sold a whole lot of drugs
And done even more, to ease the pain
The love's gone they say never say never
I say never get better
Back, then back together
Where there's pain there's pleasure
Where there's pleasure there's hate
No one hated me more than myself
It's hard to relate
To someone you know so well, or so I thought
Sometimes I look in the mirror
And see someone else
There's two of me, but I'm by myself
Ready to die, am I losing my mind?
Then look in my eyes, and my question to God
(My life, my love, is it in vain?)
All reflections of pain
That's reluctant to change
I'm transparent to love
I don't see the love in
In reflection within I'm blind
Then I close my eyes and
Thank the Lord for every day that I rise
My heart, my soul, my mind
As long as I'm breathing
I'M ALIVE, the reason, i SURVIVE
The pain throughout my life, it's called love
Love is, love is pain is, pain is
Love is, love is pain is, pain is
My life, my love
Is it in vain or am I ashamed?
Of what I came from or what I might become?
Some say that love is pain
Some believe pain is love my heart
My soul's yearning for your love's pain
You need to get you some
Come on and get you some
Some people say love is pain
Some believe that pain is love
Love is, love is pain is, pain is
Love is, love is pain is, pain is
