Love Hurts

Lyrics for Love Hurts

Ain't it funny, the things we do to get paid The shit we do to show niggas that we ain't afraid Yeah, I got my education on the streets Doing dirt left a nigga with some muddy feet Everyday life brings everyday drama Smoking weed only makes a nigga mind wander So much I could've done but I didn't do A lot of shit a nigga never should've went through Trusting another soul with my fate Showed me how easily love can turn to pure hate The road I know I came to a fork in it Good or bad I'mma still be the nigga winning Now, but tomorrow ain't guaranteed Maybe I can see the future through my young seeds Planting, and hope the planet don't damage them It's a thin line but I'mma get mine Who can you trust? God only knows It's hard to say who you can call friend or foe Money, that's all a nigga will die for So much pain and everybody wants more Who can you trust? God only knows It's hard to say who you can call friend or foe Money, that's all a nigga will die for So much pain and everybody wants more So much pain, drowning my brain, I need a paper towel Wrap it 'round, soak up the strain, I feel safer now Looking down the road I traveled, it's been a bumpy one The walls that I stood on was Humpty Dumpty ones I feel like one of the pieces up in a chess game On the line, defending yours from mine I'm making moves, attached to strings you can't see If the move seems a little bit awkward, it ain't me Now phony people ride your nuts for dollar signs I bet you drop some cash on the ground, they holla "Mine" You far behind, man, I'm way too ahead, I might be gone Think you had some killers riding with you? You home alone I'm in the zone, Venus, space-age pimpin', new millennium Hoes down deep in the wall, I can't get into them I'm a friend to them, real-ass niggas and family members What you say, nigga? I owe you something? I don't remember Who can you trust? God only knows It's hard to say who you can call friend or foe Money, that's all a nigga will die for So much pain and everybody wants more Who can you trust? God only knows It's hard to say who you can call friend or foe Money, that's all a nigga will die for So much pain and everybody wants more The root of all evil, they say But yet, there's so much evil in all our roots Born in a world of inequity Some knowing, some not knowing Even so, we've covered so much but still we have so far to go Come on, man, we born hustlas And together we'll be greater later We used to die for freedom, respect Now we die for dope, hoes and paper I'm guilty of all that shit and more Questioning life, asking "What am I here for?" To some, that might seem strange, but you dig this Don't get your feelings hurt, personal and business Make a marriage to achieve pimp trick status Lame niggas with no nuts end up embarrassed Compromise and commercialize In the eyes of your niggas selling out to get the prize At the same time my baby cries I'm on a cell phone in another state doing soundcheck Trying to make my little niggas' lives a little better In a bulletproof sweater, nigga, love hurts I've been a veteran in this game I ain't tried to be better than, only as equal as the better man You can only imagine the ghetto if you ain't raised in it That's where I'm from, childhood glory days in it I wade in it, what? The waters Taking me on down the stream, I'm going farther And still, from coast to coast, shore to shore I stand accused of being a pimp from root to floor Doing work constantly, thinking about your family Soon as you think it's time to chill, goddamn, it be Time for another project, another deadline (Man) We at the end of this rhyme, and I done said mine Who can you trust? God only knows It's hard to say who you can call friend or foe Money, that's all a nigga will die for So much pain and everybody wants more Who can you trust? God only knows It's hard to say who you can call friend or foe Money, that's all a nigga will die for So much pain and everybody wants more My friend, we are one So please hold on
