Lyrics //top\\: 2pac - So Much Pain -izzamuzzic Remix-

Dear God, if you hear me, won't you send a sign? Let me know that you feel me, cause I'm losing my mind I'm surrounded by felons, killers, and drug dealers Backstabbing friends and jealous hearted pretenders From the concrete jungle to the penitentiary It's a cold world, and everybody is an enemy Even my own homies show love to the foe I got these visions of death and I can't let go Memories of a past time, wasted days Running through the maze, tryna find a better way But every door is locked, every window is barred Life is so hard on a nigga tryna play the card So I pray for a better tomorrow, away from the sorrow But I see no signs of the light, so I hang tight. 2pac - so much pain -izzamuzzic remix- lyrics

"So much pain, that's all in my life / Got a lot on my mind, so I take out my strife / Ain't a day that go by that I don't pray for a change / But in the back of my brain, I hear my trigger finger callin' my name."
