Wisdom of Pain - Tha God Fahim

Have you ever lost a friend in the wind?

Feeling all dead from within

You was like my evil twin, yo

We used to gamble in the back of the classroom

We was the class goons

But you always was moving so fast

Soon, show me all kinds of guns

Trade the black for the chrome one

And if I needed bullets, you would let me hold some

You was one of them niggas that show fear to no one

Having hope that change gon' come

Sometimes I wonder why the game so numb

When we kill each other, it’s equivalent to a black man being hung

'Cause that’s the plan for us niggas, we so dumb

But to me, my brothers are scholars

My brothers can build if we get the proper knowledge

I’m not talking 'bout that knowledge that you get from college

They got they hand in our wallet while my homies get demolished

Why they got me struggling stuck in the game?

Why don’t some things change?

And why I gotta go through so much pain?

I ask why do we all dream of this stupid thing called fame?

Why they got me struggling stuck in the game?

Why don’t some things change?

And why I gotta go through so much pain?

I ask why do we all dream of this stupid thing called fame?

Yo, after you pass

Your mother was so strong she asked me why I was mad

It was hard to laugh

Out of respect of her I couldn’t even be that sad

Straight up

Going too soon, I couldn’t even see it

When I got the word I literally couldn’t believe it

Crazy how events turn

Thinking, flicking my weed ashes

I let that bitch burn

I feel the weight of the world

That’s why we rock chains and furs

Just to make us feel like somebody

Sometimes I feel like catching bodies

Why they take my nigga away?

But life goes on so we gon' be okay

But still I feel it shouldn’t have to be this way

I’ma carry on tradition in a significant way

And kill anything that’s tryna get in my way

Why they got me struggling stuck in the game?

Why don’t some things change?

And why I gotta go through so much pain?

I ask why do we all dream of this stupid thing called fame?

Why they got me struggling stuck in the game?

Why don’t some things change?

And why I gotta go through so much pain?

I ask why do we all dream of this stupid thing called fame?
