Prodigy of Mobb Deep — You Can Never Feel My Pain

[Intro] 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 feeling you at all, your pain isn't pure You crying 'cause you broke from the projects That's not pain, that's emotions, you a bitch I'm talking 'bout permanent, physical suffering You know nothing 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 OD Begging God for help, only to find That I'm all by my goddamn self And you can never feel my pain, nigga [Chorus] Naw, can never feel my pain, nigga You 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 trying 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 nutting 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 throwing 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 [Chorus] Nah, you can never feel my pain, nigga Could never feel my pain, nigga Never feel the pain, nigga You could never feel the pain, nigga Nah, never feel the pain, nigga
