his pain

they say life is easy and cool in the cool suburbs

but we just been smokin herbs to keep the appearance of comfort

in reality behind these closed doors and closed eyelids

young youth sippin syrup just to get dilated iris

 

i had a friend nearly die from benzos

friends laughin,

where his friends go?

next thing ya know

we lookin at him through windows

in the hospital,

so now we feelin down.

so what we do?

we go home and we start chiefin rounds

 

suburban veteran,

comatose on the bedsheets

no gun shots but still people lyin dead in the streets

my mind shootin blanks

after a couple millis,

i take another pill,

and then tell me can you feel it?

 

the worthy, the thirstin,

it all feels so worthless

while you're tryna get pussy just to stop all the hurtin

and she swervin

in her daddy's jeep ya hotboxed,

and no use tryna explain

your racin thoughts

she don't understand,

and frankly she dont care

her sister and momma killed themselves, what a pair

one in 98,

the other in oh-2

and she resigned herself to the same twisted fate

 

ignorance is bliss i know this because it's basic

sick spitter on the mic might just swing for a base hit

i faced it,

my weed has always been a little laced with,

dex and x and other chemical equations

ignorance is bliss i know this because it's true

who's who in this suburban paradise, gossip rules

we're chasin down release from this so-called sweet life

and they call this paradise,

they call this paradise

 

i don't know why you keep blessin me,

i don't know why you keep blessin me,

i don't deserve while they're hurtin

they're dead closed curtains

the addiction keeps em fed and complacent

and i hope they don't know,

i hope they never trace it

because i'm not innocent

and yet you keep blessin me

i don't know why you keep blessin me

i don't know why i don't know why you keep blessin me

what did i do to deserve all these blessings, please

take em away, take em away,

but keep em comin

 

i don't know why i don't know why you keep blessin me

what did i do to deserve this, rest in peace

dear departed,

we used to hang in your apartment

smoke clouds and pronouns filled the air in your coffin

it ain't a problem when you're high,

always actin thoughtless

so we just moved on,

and found another friend,

and we kept skippin benz,

kept fuckin 10s,

kept chasin women

once again

livin high and mighty until the eventual downfall

when you're addicted you have got not a long way to fall

 

you hit a wall,

realize your past is fucked up

but it's past, he passed, and you know that you fucked up

and nothin can bring him back,

i don't know why you keep blessin me,

and somehow your life is on track,

don't stop blessin me

i don't deserve it

but keep blessin me,

i don't know why i dont know why

but keep blessin me please

please keep blessin me,

please keep blessin me.
