Pleasure or Pain

We got to war, if we all got a burner, then flame

Baby showers, same day as nuclear showers

Prophecy's harsh, world will be destroyed in an hour

Shots fired in the night, from the heart of the coward

Stop the crow from the young flowers, goin to Howard

Brooklyn Babe Ruth, raised in fatigues and boots

Blue-printin who we hittin, and we need to shoot

No description, all though it was dark, an Egyptain

And didn't have no love, but a grudge against Clinton

[U-God]

Representin... how much gold can one man claim?

Over horizon, recognize him, it's candy rain

Flusty, lookin out of dusty old window pane

with nothin to lose, but everythin to gain

So far to go, much more is unclaimed

No delay, when we spray, we Play IV Keeps in the Jeeps

stumpin somethin gritty, it's gun nitty in the city

that never sleeps, street sweepin

is senseless, intense, fenced in, fleein

A long road ahead, I'm still believin in my freedom

On the darkest day, I'd say your darkest hour

I came to realize, the sin is most inner-most power

So enchanted, cry inside, fryin and dancin

At God speed, damn it, fear is planted

Severe nature of man, there's still no cure

Seduce me, reduce me to ashes, caught in the law

Atoms scatter, brain lashes, to the core question

Still no answers, moves of the phantom, handsome

Midnight silence surround us, eye in the sky

Everythin is a lesson, riddle another God for all of your blessins

I'm reppin, grateful 'til I'm dead, hateful heads, we under Allah's

protection

Essence of life, one second, after the blastin

I wonder, is Heaven truly everlastin?

I'm askin, I said it to four lost relatives missin, in action

Communication breakdown, it's all the same

Havin a nervous breakdown, draw you insane

It's just pleasure and pain, pleasure and pain

Another man's loss, another man's gain

Stay in the game, pleasure and pain

We treasure the fame, pleasure and pain

Pleasure and pain, pleasure and pain, pain, pain, pain
