Pain in My Veins

Yeah…

You ever feel like the pain ain’t just in your heart…

It’s in your blood?

Like it run through your veins?

Let me talk to 'em...

---

I got pain in my veins, scars in my soul

Tears in the silence, stories untold

Lost too many, I’m still here though

God hold me close, I can’t let go

Yeah, pain in my veins, I still remain

Walkin’ through the fire, but I don’t change

Devil on my back, still I reclaim

My crown in the storm, through the hurt and the rain

---

Woke up with pressure, life on attack

Bills due, faith thin, knife in my back

Friends switchin’ sides, heart stay intact

But the pain keep pumpin' like a cardiac

I done lost love, lost sleep, lost peace

Seen cold nights with no heat, no feast

But I rise like the sun in the belly of the beast

Prayin’ over pain, still grindin’ in the streets

Mama cried for me, said “boy, you chosen”

But my trauma talk louder than the words she spoken

Ain’t no fairy tale, just prayers and motion

Tryna turn my pain into kingdom devotion

---

I got pain in my veins, scars in my soul

Tears in the silence, stories untold

Lost too many, I’m still here though

God hold me close, I can’t let go

Yeah, pain in my veins, I still remain

Walkin’ through the fire, but I don’t change

Devil on my back, still I reclaim

My crown in the storm, through the hurt and the rain

---

Blood on my shoes, truth in my rhyme

Time did me dirty but I still find time

To uplift the block, feed hope in lines

Even when they doubted, I redefined

Yeah, they see the smile, not the wars I fought

Not the nights I bled, not the battles I lost

But every L I took, turned wisdom and cost

Now I wear my pain like a chain and a cross

I ain’t built soft, I’m born from the flame

With trauma in my DNA, strength in my name

Raised in the shadows but I broke through the frame

Now the streets call me preacher, still hood, still sane

---

Don’t judge me by the smile

Judge me by the nights I ain’t fold

By the prayers I whispered

When I had no one to hold

This ain’t just pain...

This is purpose wrapped in pressure.

---

I got pain in my veins, truth in my bones

Grace on my path, I don’t walk alone

Lost in the dark, now I’m on that throne

God made a king from a heart of stone

Yeah, pain in my veins, but look how I shine

Turned all my hurt into heavenly signs

Devil can’t break what the Lord designed

I bleed with a purpose, I'm divinely aligned

---

It’s pain in my veins...

But purpose in my pulse.

Still standin’. Still chosen. Still here.
