Vibes Web3 Music Competition Week 40 - PAIN (Cover)
Welcome to my entry for Vibes Music contest and this my entry for what is Week 40. I bring you all a cover of Tupac "Pain"..
Not really a fan of Tupac Shakur songs but he's a real dude that expresses his thoughts and also talk about realities via his raps. Tupac spoke about pain and what it means to grow up from the streets in this particular song.
I hope you all like my cover.
Lyrics
“PAIN” by Tupac & Stretch
From 1994 “Above The Rim” Movie
Intro: (Laurence Luckinbill & God)
"I couldn't help but notice your pain
My pain?
It runs deep, share it with me”
1: 2Pac]
They’ll never take me alive, they’re getting high with their four-five
Talk with their mothers, never lie
Even as a youngster causin' ruckus on the back of the bus
I was a fool all through high school, kickin' up dust
But now I'm labeled as a troublemaker – who can you blame?
Only sleep, helped me take away the pain
So I'm hopeless, rollin' down the freeway swervin', don't worry
I'm 'bout to crash up on the curb 'cause my vision's blurry
Maybe if they tried to understand me – what should I do?
I had to feed my struggling’ family – what else could I do
But be a thug? Out changing with the homies
NOT hangin' with them phonies in the clubs!
Got my mind on danger, never been a stranger to homicide
My city's full of gang-bangers and drive-by's
Why do we die at an early age?
He was so young, but still a victim of the 12 gauge
My memories of a corpse, never want the sick thoughts
And I ain’t going back to court, so NOT what you thought!
Too many tendencies, running from my enemies
Will I live to be 23? There’s so much pain…
[Chorus]
Ohhhh
Tired of the strain and the pain
Ohhhh
Tired of the strain and the pain
[Verse 2: Stretch]
Years and years of that rough life
Runnin' crazed and wild as a kid and growin' tough with a knife
And livin' trifed on the regular, buckin' out competitors
See 'em fake a move and chase 'em down like the hunting Predator
Get in trouble every day in school, act a fool
But I shouldn’t have broken every rule…
Showin' off for the ladies 'cause I had the mad rep
So I had to watch my back when it was time to step
But I’m lively, it’s the timing and the love for me
Dot, dot, dot, and send another up above for me
Ayo, currency kept passin' me by, but I didn't cry, broke
Like a comic with ideas, started sellin' jokes
And now the money's lookin' lovely
Pop the drop top and now the people only trust me
Kick 'em the game, it's not the same
I kick it back yo, give 'em slack yo
And now they label me the mack yo, people check it
Keep it respectful, never front on the Birdman, you heard, man
Catch a couple thoughts from the drop of my pen
Man, at least I’m realistic with the misfits
You know they get the class twisted, so run for cover
Me and my man Got a plan, kicking’ major dust
So if you grow bigger, look for the Way to Rush
A lot of pressure with the heat flame, it’s a deep game
And my momma always crying’ yo, there’s so much pain….
[Chorus]
Ohhhh
So tired, so tired
Ohhhh
Soso
