Down Since Day One/Pain - Natas

This is for my niggas

This is for my homies

All over this motherfucker

I’m down for Michigan

And I’m from Detroit, you know what I’m sayin'

This is for my homies who’ve been down since day one

I ain’t got to say no names cause everybody know 'em

Me and my homies always getting high

In the city where I live

Nigga, it’s do or die

I got much love for my niggas out in Flint

And every other town that gave love when I went

Like Inktown, Saginaw, and Pontiac

And my niggas out in Ypsi with the chronic sack

And fuck the police cause they don’t know how to treat us

And now they out to get me me cause I told 'em kill the fetus

But fuck that

I’m kind of laid back

And all my niggas that’s down we go way back

I’m not a new York rapper

Or L.A. gang banger

I’m a Detroit old-school crack slanger

Make mo' money, mo' money

Pockets like sunshine

Always sunny

And a sucker wants my love

He gets none

I only gives loves to the niggas who been down since day one

This is for my niggas who been down with the O. G

Unholy black Kunta Kinte, Toby

Nigga I’m true and I ain’t new to the game

I got that Funkadelic locked in my Maggot Brain

But tonight I’m finna give it up to my real niggas

Them Reel Life niggas with their fingers on the trigger

And yo, nigga don’t play me like a ho

I’m down to throw and I’m no CB4

Like bubblegum gangsta ass niggas with the wack funk

Helter skelter?

Get off my bozack, punk

My name is Esham and I’m droppin' thee bomb bud

Most niggas still droppin' duds

My homies know what time it is though

And I know my real homies down with the Devil, yo

Fake niggas, you getting done

This is for my homies who been down since day one

Now I gotta put more niggas on ice

The Unholy Black Devil ain’t nothin' nice

I’m down for the dirt

And when I put in work

I make punk motherfuckers run and go to church

Nigga it’s me

The nigga you been trying to keep down

Here I come

Fuckin' up the underground

Check mic, one, two

Some Old Wicketshit for you

Word After Word I run it on down the line

The Unholy nigga fuckin' wit’cha mind

And if I flex it, then I wrecks it, so I wreck shit

My shit’s phat and yours anorexic

You know who be… you know who be bitin' my shit?

That motherfucker named

I feel no pain when I think about my daddy

I’m thinking, «Oh shit man, he never shoulda had me»

I’ve been suicidal since the age of thirteen

Now I know what puttin' in work really means

My mama never loved me cause she always called me crazy

Mentally phasin' me like Rosemary’s Baby

I never had no time to do nothing but think

I gotta get my head and my dick out the sink

When will I die

I’m just passing time by

How do I plead to homicide without an alibi

Symptoms of Insanity

Some say I’m just insane

And all this goes on inside my Maggot Brain

I feel no pain

I feel pain when I think I get disgusted

«In God We Trust» but you know I can’t trust it

Sometimes I wanna give it up and go and bite the bullet

Swallow me a bullet from the trigger when I pull it

I’m mad at the world cause I’d rather be dead

My mind is playin' tricks on me, it’s all in my head'

It started as a little kid, my problem just increased

I had me a dream, «No Justice, No Peace»

Call me the Unholy Black Kunta Kinte

Murder, murder, murder me like Wili Otey

Symptoms of Insanity

Some say I’m just insane

And all this goes on inside my Maggot Brain

I feel no pain

I feel no pain cause of all the shit I been through

Selling cocaine is the evil that men do

I can’t love nobody, Tin Man without a heart

Anyway, I was fucked up from the start

Mama was a junkie up 'til the day she died

And at her funeral, a young nigga never cried

I guess it was the fear of feeling pain on my brain

Cause I didn’t have shit to lose

Or shit to gain

Just pain
