Strength Of Pain - The Alchemist, Slim Thug

When I was younger

I thought my life would be easy

Always had my parents to guide me

From the cold world they could not make me see

I had no worries

Anything I wanted was there for me

My friends wishing they could be like me

With the diamond rings and the baby Gucci

I’m thinking of the good old days

When all of my life was fun and games

And all i had to do was think of me

No stress, no responsebilities

I won’t cry any longer

All of my pain made me stronger

I’ll do the best to maintain

That happiness that i remember

Why d’you leave me, tell me why you left me

Innocence as a child so easy

Why d’you leave, tell me why you left me

Daddy why d’you leave me?

Mommy why d’you leave me?

Why d’you leave me, tell me why you left me

Innocence as a child so easy

Why d’you leave, tell me why you left me

Daddy why d’you leave me?

Mommy why d’you leave me?

Life as a teenager

Started moving oh, so rapidly

Took my mom and my pops away from me

God was rolling, and I could not see why

They had to leave me

Who would have thought that this could be

My life was turning unbeliveably

This could not be happening to me

I’m thinking of the good old days

When all of my life was fun and games

And all i had to do was think of me

No stress, no responsebilities

I won’t cry any longer

All of my pain made me stronger

I’ll do the best to maintain

That happiness that i remember

Now I’m a young lady

And didn’t want nobody to think for me

Went against my family

And was a baby having my own baby

How real is that, can ya feel me?

Didn’t need no help from nobody

Not even no help from yo daddy

I, myself, and my own Lady

Why d’you leave me, tell me why you left me

Innocence as a child so easy

Why d’you leave, tell me why you left me

Daddy, mommy

Why d’you leave me, tell me why you left me

Innocence as a child so easy

Why d’you leave, tell me why you left me

Daddy why d’you leave me?

Mommy why d’you leave me?

I know ways, they can’t remain

No matter how fucking hard it may be

I’m gonna walk with my head up to the sky

This life is like an alternate eye
