Verse 1
do we say? What do we do?
Nowhere to turn,
Where do we go for inspiration?
It's like pain is our only inspiration
say? What do we do?
Nowhere to turn,
nowhere to run and there's nothin new
Verse 2
It's like pain is our only inspiration
boys and girls
Are shells in the oceans not
No one to hold 'em while they growin
They livin' moment to moment
without a care in the whole world
Am
Now, if I could help it I tell it just like it is
And I may say some things
that you don't like to hear
people kneel
People die, people heal, people steal,
and people shed tears
gun kill, the sun still, rise
Wake up, the stakes up
Everybody want the cake up,
But when the karma come back
for what you do
Verse 3
It's too late to make up, some excuse
say? What do we do?
Nowhere to turn,
nowhere to run and there's nothin new
It's like pain is our only inspiration
say? What do we do?
Nowhere to turn,
nowhere to run and there's nothin new
Verse 4
It's like pain is our only inspiration
than time and space
Wherever there's competition
you gonna find the race
Dm
I find a place in my heart for this hip- hop
And pump blood through my vein
my skin get hot
you write more
If I don't celebrate I got
nothing to fight for
excite y'all like nightfall
I'm tight y'all, I walk the street like y'all
right y'all?
You start yappin' think about
The trouble you could get
into
You don't study,
you not prepared and cats is testin you
The manifestation of the words
They already there you can't
take 'em out
The studio gangsta inside
Verse 5
you tryin' to break out
What do we do?
Nowhere to turn,
Where do we go for inspiration?
It's like pain is our only inspiration
say? What do we do?
Nowhere to turn,
Where do we go for inspiration?
It's like pain is our only
inspiration
Am
Verse 6
Dm
Am
Dm
Yea,
Am
I see a place
where little boys and girls
Are shells in the oceans
No one to hold 'em while they growin
They livin' moment to moment
Now, if I could help it I tell it just like it is
And I may say some things
that you don't like to hear
people kneel
People die, people heal, people steal,
What's real, blood spills,
gun kill, the sun still, rise
Wake up, the stakes up
Everybody want the cake up,
But when the karma come back
for what you do
