Pain Into Progress Outlawz (Ft. C-Bo, Mistah F.A.B. & ​stic.man)

[Intro]
Yeah, Outlawz, Dough Boy, One Nation
It's been a long time comin', man
Know shit ain't never gon' be easy for niggas like me, but we here

[Verse 1]
Them people you thought that loved you, them niggas'll turn quick
Pac and Biggie died, these niggas ain't learn shit
Genocide over beats, homicide when we meet
They handin' us loaded heat, and trickin' us off the streets
Truth hard to sallow, but them lies taste sweet
Better watch for the wolves that disguise as sheep
Better watch with your third eye, 'cause shit get deep
Under the surface we searchin', they purposely sleep
Controlled by the system, politics, or religion
Gotta learn the difference between facts and opinions
I'm black and I'm gifted, I'm labelled a threat
Soon as I step up out the house, I got a target on my back
Watchin' for my own kind in the other side
Nobody dies when we cry, we outlaws, let us ride
There's one life, don't nobody get a second try
There's a chance to get it right, yeah, you better try

[Chorus]
Yeah (Yeah), we turn pain into progress
Tragedy to triumph, and struggle to success (To success)
Even at your lowest, still no one that you bless (Bless)
The game the same, remain different than the rest (Than the rest)
Yeah (Yeah), we turn pain into progress
Tragedy to triumph (Triumph), and struggle to success (To success)
Even at your lowest, still no one that you bless (Bless)
In this deadly game of life, better rise to the test (C'mon, shit)
