[Chorus 1]
The pain is gone!
[Chorus 2: Ab-Soul]
Nah that bitch never leave
Got me waking up in cold sweats, yo I never sleep
Properly, I'm no Socrates but my philosophy is
She gone follow me as long as I live
[Verse 1: Ab-Soul]
A minute ago, I was riding bicycle
And I can buy a Now & Laters with 5 nickels
When it was washing dishes and homework, cable and bullshit
I hit the block and never left
It was exciting watching life bring light to what I'm writing about like
A lamp in a cave, while I'm trapped in this maze
But Frankie Beverly wouldn't walk in my all-stars for a day
I watched kids play and think ignorance is bliss
Then I watched Kid-N-Play on House Party
And wish I was them
See you could say I'm brainwashed
Cause I came from an era where niggas don't care about nothing
And you're judged by how much your J's cost
But me being the rebel I am, I never gave a damn
Leave it to Beaver and the rest of you suckas
I'm complex like the magazine say I'm abstract
Like a trigonometry quiz and science lab rats
If I wasn't I, you could see the pain in my eyes
I watched brothers kill brothers over system of legal tender
Deteriorating my loins with liquor looking for joy
I put my soul on a platter, enjoy
I do this for the regular people who out the in crowd
Make it popular to be unpopular
Cause if we all came together, ain't no stopping us
And it hurts me so, to think how they divided us like an island in the road
Just in control if you ain't know and yo
Lock my body can't trap my mind
I got two decades of experience on my resume
Say I don't qualify and I'll call you a lie
I'm on a whole 'nother plateau, you still trynna be fly
And that goes for the narrow-minded whose ancestor was the pharaoh
He went from number 1 to zero
Let's take it back
The pain is gone!
[Chorus 2: Ab-Soul]
Nah that bitch never leave
Got me waking up in cold sweats, yo I never sleep
Properly, I'm no Socrates but my philosophy is
She gone follow me as long as I live
