Pain (I Wanna Live) (Clean)

by Tehondi

about

Tehondi's style focuses on a combination of spitting self-empowering lyrics over a dope beat.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Swear I love hanging with my bro’s man
Chasing fine girls trying see if they going
Cracking jokes like eggs on a stove pan
Young. Hella young but I’m thinking like an old man
I be in my zone… that’s that music
Knowing better but steady acting foolish
I be downtown just cooling
Shit so expensive all I got is these two cents
But aye, I love days like these
Food always got me happy and ready sleep
And I love to dream as much as breathing air
I tend to go there when life treats me unfair
I swear pain is the ultimate villain
And being in love is the greatest feeling
But these heartbreaks they steady kill me
And these bad days got depression re-appearing
Do you choose to cry?
Do you think about suicide?
You hate how the pain grew inside?
Wish it was butterflies?
Feeling like climbing up to the roof to fly?
Tired of these emotions?
Wanna tear them out of your body and hand them to the people who broke em?
Wrap it around their necks and choke them?
The pain it hurts… but don’t give up… listen


[Hook]
Pain… is something I’ve dealt with my entire life
Will I be happier if I quit; knowing that I tried to fight?
But this pain makes who I am; It reminds me that I’m alive
This pain makes me wish I wasn’t living, but it won’t stop until the day I die
So fuck it, I wanna live!

[Verse 2]
I love the weekends
Seeing movies. Kicking sand at the beaches
Looking at the stars thinking bout’ how I’ll be it
Passing all my test like give me my degree man
I’m building my future. Uh
Thinking like Martin Luther. Yea
But when you tryna' save the world
Somebodies gonna shoot ya
Bang… depressions back. To wipe me of my memories
Of how I learned to smile. Now I’m back questioning
Why is this world so bad?
Why is it so easy to go from happy to sad?
To go from sane to mad?
I thought I found a reason to live
Guess it wasn’t good enough to last
I hate this world. I hate this pain
Why can’t I just shut off this part of my brain
But I guess without it, I wouldn’t be the same
I wouldn’t be who I am

[Hook]

[Outro]
I wanna live!
I hate this pain
But it’s a part of life and I know I don’t want to die. Uh
