Why is it so hard to keep it real?
And why don't you just tell me what you feel? Oh, I
Want a homie, lover, friend
Someone who's genuine
So if you didn't love me, baby
Why would you pretend?

If you knew me back then
You don't know me now
Things are different and let me show you how
I'm not the same, I've changed
And you feel that pain, I hope you do
And when you do, I'm telling you

That's that pain (that pain), that's that pain (that pain)
Do you feel that pain? That pain, ohh (oh, yeah)
That's that pain (I know), do you feel that pain? (Know)
I hope you cry, I hope it cross your mind least once a day

Now I done tried to keep it kosher, keep my petty low
Don't play wit' me, don't play wit' me, 'fore I put on a show
I'll wake this whole neighborhood up
I'll make a nigga wish he would've
Loved me better, treat me gooder
When all I wanted was forever

You knew me back then
You don't know me now
Things are different and let me show you how
I'm not the same, I've changed
And you gon' feel that pain, I hope you do
And when you do, I'm telling you

That's that pain (that pain), that's that pain (that pain)
Do you feel that pain? That pain, ohh (oh, yeah)
That's that pain (I know), do you feel that pain? (Know)
I hope you cry, I hope it cross your mind least once a day

That's that pain (that pain), that's that pain (that pain)
Do you feel that pain? That pain, ohh (oh, yeah)
That's that pain (I know), do you feel that pain? (Know)
I hope you cry, I hope it cross your mind least once a day

That's that pain
I hope you feel it, hope it hurt
Hope it knocks you off your feet
I hope it put you in the dirt
Skrrt, skrrt, standing there on the curb
Looking stupid, watching these four Pirellis burn
I hope it hurt, I hope it hurt
Over and over again
Pain
Pain
Feel what I feel when I felt what I felt
Yeah
