The Story Behind the Pain
Unveiling Life's Unspoken Struggles
Lyrics
Dear beloved unknown
Addressing someone cherished but unknown
Here regarded as gone
Considered absent or departed
Appear flooding my poems
Seem to overflow into my written works
I wear pops under robes
I hide emotions beneath a composed exterior
Near, heart is home for him
Close to this person, feeling at home
Harbored enthroned
Protected and honored
Here not catacombs
Not in places of death or gloom
Yeah mummy I am grown
Acknowledging maturity, but not shedding tears
But shed nothing at all
Expressing concern about making mistakes
But fear that I am at fault
Fearful of being at fault
For saying that is a false
Claiming the falsehood of a statement
Cuz where am I without flaws
Questioning existence without imperfections
Gem studded and lost
Valuable yet directionless
With Jinn loving the course
Intrigued by mystical beings loving the journey
Clear charted for loss
Evidently marked for suffering or misfortune
Heavy hearted off course
Emotionally burdened and off the intended path
Semi brother is poor
A sibling facing financial struggles
Already fathered a daughter
Already a father to a daughter
Made it hard to face morning
Finding it difficult to confront mornings
Twenty four, still on mummy's pay roll
Despite being 24, still financially dependent on mother
Rhyme as hungry as orphans
Writing with hunger and passion like orphaned individuals
Only my first album striving for resources
Striving for resources, especially in debut album phase
Live when I am performing
Alive and thriving during performances
Died but I am not mourning no
Not mourning the past but embracing life
I am living life and I’ll celebrate for you
Choosing to celebrate life despite missing memories
Even when I am feeling like they stole memories of you
Resorting to expected actions despite feeling robbed
End up resorting to what I am supposed to do
Engaging in activities despite fears
Jog in the fog you are afraid of walking through
Bravery in facing fears others avoid
Gotta be brave money and I reckon it all depends on heart
Being courageous despite financial uncertainties
Or lack of it, I figure its haunting all the same
The haunting nature of lacking courage
Look in my eyes search for the story behind the pain
Inviting scrutiny to understand personal pain
Life's a beast your breathing energy gotta tame
Life's challenges require managing one's energy
My pops deceased MCing remedy that okay
Rap music as a remedy for coping with father's death
Taking me that ‘away
Leading away from a situation causing distress
Towards the battle plains
Heading towards confrontations and challenges
Through wars examinations, chores
Ready to face life's trials and tasks
I'll handle fate
Accepting destiny with determination
Ain’t much later but hard labour cause some say that
Struggling with tough work due to inevitable circumstances
The love hater is far greater than thou made her
Recognizing the stronger impact of negativity
God tailor narrator hear the song prayer
Asking for divine guidance in storytelling
Shake the room steady he can knock your wallpaper
A powerful force capable of shaking things up
