AZLYRICS: Crooked I – Pain Away Lyrics
“Pain Away”
My Brother Dizz made this
I just wanna take my fuckin’ pain away
Just wanna take my fuckin’ pain away
A bottle of Jameson was my best friend
‘Cause misery loves company
I just wanna take the fuckin’ pain away
Just wanna take the fuckin’ pain away
I chill in the closet with all my skeletons
‘Cause misery loves company
Pain away, take the fuckin’ pain away
Pain away, I just wanna take my fuckin’ pain away
Nightmares in my sleep paintin’ a grim picture
I see the nigga that murdered my momma twin sister
I see the cancer that gave my uncle a slim figure
I rapped about him on Goodbye, but I still miss him
Some time I walked in the dark, feel like the sun is missin’
They say it’s light at the end, hope I got tunnel vision
My grandma used to hate me ’cause I was dark skin
My own granny was brainwashed by colorism
She died in her rocking chair, readin’ the Bible
With paramedics tryna revival, readin’ her vitals
Wonder if Heaven’s Gates received her arrival
Wish she would’ve give her grandson the keys to survival
I seen a lot of death in my childhood
Niggas shootin’ my family, we in a wild hood
Used to lie ’bout my past, whatever sound good
I tried to cover my roots, just like the ground would
I tried to normalize all the shit I did
As if stealin’ dinner is normal for a little kid
A poor baby drinkin’ sugar water in his crib
Now I could die any day, that’s how a nigga live
I just wanna take my fuckin’ pain away
Just wanna take the fuckin’ pain away
Bottle of Jameson is my best friend
‘Cause misery loves company
I just wanna take the fuckin’ pain away
I just wanna take my fuckin’ pain away
Chill in the closet with all my skeleton
‘Cause misery loves company
Pain away, pain away, pain away
Take my fuckin’ pain away
I’m bringin’ all of this baggage into relationships
Then I try to hold it together, but I ain’t a paper clip
While all you rappers are braggin’ about the gangster shit
I’m at the funeral wipin’ tears with my handkerchief
My homie’s body is right behind where reverend stands
While I’m just beggin’ for Heaven to give him a second chance
You blind to hood murders, ’cause you don’t ever glance
It’s so much friction like runnin’ trackers in leather pants
His momma asked me for justice, I’m readin’ through the lines
That mean retaliation, shoot a nine, do some time
Abusin’ whine, stupid lies, tell ’em I’m doin’ fine
I ain’t gotta fuck a Kardashian to lose my mind
Lay me to sleep and I escape crazy shit in the streets
But then I seen true joy, baby sit on my knees
The pretty smile on her face gave a nigga some peace
And I live my life for my kids, I don’t do it for me
I just wanna take my fuckin’ pain away
Just wanna take the fuckin’ pain away
Bottle of Jameson is my best friend
‘Cause misery loves company
I just wanna take the fuckin’ pain away
I just wanna take my fuckin’ pain away
Chill in the closet with all my skeleton
‘Cause misery loves company
Pain away, pain away, pain away
Take my fuckin’ pain away
Y’all hear me out there?
Need to know if the world can hear me
Need to know if the world can feel me
You recoverin’ from somethin’
One day at a time, take it one day at a time
I see y’all next week, peace
