Prodigy of Mobb Deep - You Can Never Feel My Pain lyrics

rate me

[Prodigy]

Naw, you can never feel my pain nigga

And you can never feel my pain nigga

Never feel my pain nigga

How do I start it

[Verse 1]

Nineteen seventy four, motherfucker I was born with pain

My moms and my pops pass it down to me

So don't talk to me about can I feel yours

Cause I ain't feelin you at all, your pain isn't pure

You cryin cause you broke from the projects

That's not pain, that's emotions, you a bitch

Im talkin bout permanent, physical sufferin

You know nothin about that

You just complain cause you stressed

Nigga, my pain's in the flesh

And through the years that pain became my friend; sedated

with morphine as a little kid

I built a tolerance for drugs, addicted to the medicine

Now hospital emergency treat me like a fiend

I rather die sometimes I wish a nigga O.D.

Beggin God for help, only to find

that I'm all by my God damn self

Ay you can never feel my pain nigga

Naw, can never feel my pain nigga

Can never feel my pain nigga

Never feel the pain nigga

You could never feel the pain nigga

Naw, never feel the pain nigga

[Verse 2]

And the females ask - P, why you always look mad?

Don't mind me if I may come off like that

But see, a nigga depressed, I need smoke

I need me a drink, I'm tryin to stop those

Experience life, through the shoes of me

What you find, is you can't do that, you ain't built for it

The impact I put on this earth

It's like nuttin that you ever seen or heard; so look listen

When I speak, sit up in your seat

Pay attention to the words, cause the story is deep

In and out of crisis, since before I could walk

It gave me strength though, nowadays I hardly talk

It made me cold-hearted, anti, I won't play sports

I barely joke or play games, take it how you want

My handicap took its toll on my sanity

My moms got me at the shrink at like 13

And doctors called the cops on me

Cause I be throwin IV poles and they ignore me

I gotta, try to calm down and breathe

I can only hold it but for so long; put me to sleep

Do I sound insane... if I do, then this here was written for you

Cause you could never feel the pain nigga

Naw, can never feel my pain nigga

Could never feel my pain nigga

Never feel the pain nigga

You could never feel the pain nigga

Naw, never feel the pain nigga
