[Intro]

I'm just trying to be great

Look



[Verse 1 - G Herbo]

1995, Fall night, October 8th

Most people would say a star was born but nah, that's when I was born

And I wasn't born a star, nigga I wasn't born on top

I remember walking cold from school when mom's ain't had no car

Me my cousins 6 deep, walkin back to grannies spot

School in another district so that's like 11 blocks

And on that walk is shooters, niggas sellin rocks and hella cops

Fast forward 10 years later and that shit ain't never stopped

I became a product, all my niggas sellin' products

Growin up they want them dolla's

Birthdays without no fathers

And i had my dad so i couldn't really understand they pain

You don't even see his face but you got that nigga name

And my problem with my pops is we don't communicate

I see his face all the time but its just hi and bye

He know I love him, thats my nigga, I ain't gotta lie

But you can't give a bird his wings and teach him how to fly

I'm hard body, heavy thinker, Imma handle mine

He taught me that, I'll give him that, yeah Imma handle mine

And nigga I was 16, livin like a grown man

Never needed nobody, nigga I'm my own man

And my momma loved me for it, she would tell me she proud of me

I always had it in me, she like how I brought it out of me

She stay right by my side, back when everybody doubted me

And thought i would end up in the pen or the county see

But now I'm in a penthouse suite on the balcony

I used to think a million was for everybody, you gonna grow up and have a house, that life for everybody

But wait 1 rich person can't take care of everybody (What?)



[Hook - Sonta]

The world is filled with pain (yeahhh)

The world is filled with pain (oooh)

The world is filled with pain (Is filled with pain pain pain painnnn)

The world is filled with pain (With pain, yeah yeah yeah)



[Verse 2 - G Herbo]

Man i used to post up, early morning, soon as i woke up

Went to sleep at 4 something, used to skip breakfast, swishers and doughnuts

With the same niggas, everyday the same shit (Everyday the same shit)

War with the same suckers

Fuckin on the same bitches

Then a thought came to my head sayin you gotta expand

You passed the ball enough, its time to keep the rock in your hand

I know all the pressure like you got the block in your hands

Can't forget about them, yeah i know Rock was your mans

But can't forget your sister, mother, brother, pops and your grans

Don't owe nobody shit the lifestyle come after the fam

And Never Leave My Brothers thats for life, the block is my fam, damn

Who i sacrificing for? The block of my fam?

But anyways i miss my niggas

So thats why I'm getting twisted, I don't sip the liquor

I'm just high pouring sixes and I'm ridin with my 45

Cuze I ain't trying to end up victim of a homicide

Not my momma crying



[Hook - Sonta]

The world is filled with pain (yeahhh)

The world is filled with pain (oooh)

The world is filled with pain (Is filled with pain pain pain painnnn)

The world is filled with pain (With pain, yeah yeah yeah)



[Verse 3 - J. Tsunami]

Understand that I can relate to everything that you sayin, because i grew up just like you

It was me and my lil brother, pops, OG, and momas too

My grandfather, one auntie, two uncles and their childrens too

All them people under one roof, but we took that and we made do

Back in the day my folks had cake so people thought that we was on

But truth be told shit more than half of that was gone before i was born

Three years old thats when moms and pops relationship was torn

Them not fuckin' with each other made me father my lil brothers

From the city to the burbs we was goin back and forth

So I was in and out of schools, lived everywhere but West and North

Eating pork and beans and noodles not by choice but more so force

Til one day i told myself i can't continue on the course

Now lets speed it up, 2005 I came back to the hood

Started hustlin lil packs and everything was going good

Plus i had my own gun so i wished a nigga would

Try to take anything from me, I'd have left him where he stood

I grew out that state of mind, the games I was playing was kiddy

Yeah here comes 2009 all i hear is you and Bibby

I had faith in y'all but who'd have thought you'd take over the city

Used to think y'all forgot about or just wasn't fuckin with me

I was rappin at the time, but y'all was puttin in that work

And shit I ain't even gonna lie, when you took off shit I was hurt

Cuze I expected a handout, that's where I fucked up first

But I thank y'all cuze y'all the reason i go cray on every verse

(The world is filled with pain)



[Hook - Sonta]

The world is filled with pain (yeahhh)

The world is filled with pain (oooh)

The world is filled with pain (Is filled with pain pain pain painnnn)

The world is filled with pain (With pain)



[Bridge - Sonta]

I just wanna smile, I just wanna ball

I just wanna do it all, I just wanna leave (I wanna leave)

I just wanna smile, I just wanna ball

I just wanna do it all, I just wanna leave (I'm still better than me)

I just wanna smile, I just wanna ball

I just wanna do it all, I just wanna leave (I wanna ball)

I just wanna smile, I just wanna ball

I just wanna do it all, I just wanna leave (So much pain, So much pain)



[Hook - Sonta]

The world is filled with pain

The world is filled with pain

I know you fell me, you got to feel me, please feel me

The world is filled with pain (Is filled with pain pain pain painnnn)

The world is filled with pain (With pain, yeah yeah yeah yeah)
