Vibes Web3 Music Competition Week 40 - PAIN (Cover)
Welcome to my entry for Vibes Music contest and this my entry for what is Week 40. I bring you all a cover of Tupac "Pain"..
Not really a fan of Tupac Shakur songs but he's a real dude that expresses his thoughts and also talk about realities via his raps. Tupac spoke about pain and what it means to grow up from the streets in this particular song.

Lyrics
“PAIN” by Tupac & Stretch From 1994 “Above The Rim” Movie
Intro: (Laurence Luckinbill & God) "I couldn't help but notice your pain My pain? It runs deep, share it with me”
1: 2Pac] They’ll never take me alive, they’re getting high with their four-five Talk with their mothers, never lie Even as a youngster causin' ruckus on the back of the bus I was a fool all through high school, kickin' up dust But now I'm labeled as a troublemaker – who can you blame? Only sleep, helped me take away the pain So I'm hopeless, rollin' down the freeway swervin', don't worry I'm 'bout to crash up on the curb 'cause my vision's blurry Maybe if they tried to understand me – what should I do? I had to feed my struggling’ family – what else could I do But be a thug? Out changing with the homies NOT hangin' with them phonies in the clubs! Got my mind on danger, never been a stranger to homicide My city's full of gang-bangers and drive-by's Why do we die at an early age? He was so young, but still a victim of the 12 gauge My memories of a corpse, never want the sick thoughts And I ain’t going back to court, so NOT what you thought! Too many tendencies, running from my enemies Will I live to be 23? There’s so much pain…
[Chorus] Ohhhh Tired of the strain and the pain Ohhhh Tired of the strain and the pain
[Verse 2: Stretch] Years and years of that rough life Runnin' crazed and wild as a kid and growin' tough with a knife And livin' trifed on the regular, buckin' out competitors See 'em fake a move and chase 'em down like the hunting Predator Get in trouble every day in school, act a fool But I shouldn’t have broken every rule… Showin' off for the ladies 'cause I had the mad rep So I had to watch my back when it was time to step But I’m lively, it’s the timing and the love for me Dot, dot, dot, and send another up above for me Ayo, currency kept passin' me by, but I didn't cry, broke Like a comic with ideas, started sellin' jokes And now the money's lookin' lovely Pop the drop top and now the people only trust me Kick 'em the game, it's not the same I kick it back yo, give 'em slack yo And now they label me the mack yo, people check it Keep it respectful, never front on the Birdman, you heard, man Catch a couple thoughts from the drop of my pen Man, at least I’m realistic with the misfits You know they get the class twisted, so run for cover Me and my man Got a plan, kicking’ major dust So if you grow bigger, look for the Way to Rush A lot of pressure with the heat flame, it’s a deep game And my momma always crying’ yo, there’s so much pain….
[Chorus] Ohhhh So tired, so tired Ohhhh Soso
