Pain No More

E-40, Shawty, oh, Big Snoop

California's finest, West Coast

I'm doing everything I can to get my buzz on

Trying not to feel this pain no more

That's why I'm popping these pills and smoking this dro

And drinking this Henney straight

Trying not to feel this pain no more

I came from the bottom of the barrel, to everyday new apparel

From a shoe string budget to more jewelry than a pharaoh

Up out a place called Vallejo, house smaller than a hut

First city in California to go bankrupt

Came a long way, let the truth be told

Penitentiary chances sweating over the stove

Seen them come and go, I'm the last of my crop

Don't compare me to nobody unless you're talking 'bout Pac, oh

Just trying to survive and stay alive, so many of my people done died

Nowadays, you're an O.G. if you live to be 25

My partner in there with his grand-daddy doing 25

Lifting water bags, doing burpees exercise

I hand pick my friends 'cause people ain't trustable

Feelings like broads, their motives is questionable

Suckers sneak diss me and call me up on the phone

They say, 40 Water, I just wanna be on

I'm doing everything I can to get my buzz on

Trying not to feel this pain no more

That's why I'm popping these pills and smoking this dro

And drinking this Henney straight

Trying not to feel this pain no more

They say money makes the world go round

And since I'm worth twenty mil

I wanna see this bitch spin like the rims on a Schwinn

Hop on that bike, ride through the neighborhood

Compton on smash, them boys get cash, money like Baby do

I got a scar over my heart 'cause that's what hating'll do

So watch your back like a tattoo artist

A coffin don't give a fuck about who the hardest

You lay where the people who mourn, pray

Get your name etched in stones with your born day

Small talk over a glass of Grand Marnier

As I sip from the glass, my mind starts packing this Louis Vuitton bags

Take a trip to the past, hear that shot going blast

See my brother lying dormant, IV's in his arms

Can't you see he got a piss bag?

17 years old and you niggaz wonder why I'm so cold

I'm doing everything I can to get my buzz on

Trying not to feel this pain no more

That's why I'm popping these pills and smoking this dro

And drinking this Henney straight

Trying not to feel this pain no more

Let me get a fifth of some brandy, a plate of some candy

Cindy, Sandy, Mindy, Mandy

Tina, Brandy, Keisha, Angie

Man, we can't we all get along

Two shots of Patron, I did it till the break of dawn

Big fish in a pond, running my triathlon

Doggy Dogg keep the bone one of a kind, blow you mind

Just like Einstein, born to shine

I'm getting mine prime time like 21

Get 'er done, everything in my life, I make it look like fun

Everyday of my life, I'm trying get my buzz on

'Cause on some other shit, I'm keeping it on the under bitch

So much pain I overcame, same thang

Me, E-40 and Game came from the same gang

But you wouldn't understand

I'm populating with my weakless translation

That's my main man, let me hit that damn thang

I'm doing everything I can to get my buzz on

Trying not to feel this pain no more

That's why I'm popping these pills and smoking this dro

And drinking this Henney straight

Trying not to feel this pain no more
