[Intro: Mia X]
Mama Mia and the Ghetto Twiinz
Puttin' down the real, y'all
Something y'all can feel, y'all
No pain, no gain, believe that
[Verse 1: GT]
Momma told me there'll be days like this
You have to be 'bout your hustle if you plan to be rich
It always take a nobody to bring you down
But it take somebody to stand they grounds
Have mercy on our kids today, have mercy
Surviving, tryna make a way, have mercy
The killers got me back in heat, I can't trust them
Why you wanna capture me? Straight buckin'
Gon' always face pain in life
I ain't sayin' it's gon' be easy, you gotta gain some stripes
Just because I'm from the ghetto, it's even harder
I gotta be strong, bustin' my ass for my son and daughter
Don't you call me a lie 'cause I'm living proof
Slangin' drugs, yes, I used too
Bust slugs if I have too
So don't tell me what you can't do or won't do
Just keep yo' head up and stay true
[Chorus]
No pain (No pain)
No pain (No pain)
No gain (No gain)
Oh, no pain (No pain)
No pain (No pain)
No gain (No gain)
No pain (No pain)
No pain (No pain)
No gain (No gain)
Oh, no pain (No pain)
No pain (No pain)
No gain (No gain)
[Post-Chorus: GT]
You can be a cook in the kitchen, a lady in the streets
You can't show your tits to every guy you meet
It's alright to be a little sweet
But being momma to them kids and you know what in the sheets
[Chorus]
No pain (No pain)
No pain (No pain)
No gain (No gain)
Oh, no pain (No pain)
No pain (No pain)
No gain (No gain)
No pain (No pain)
No pain (No pain)
No gain (No gain)
Oh, no pain (No pain)
No pain (No pain)
No gain (No gain)
[Verse 2: Mia X]
Sisters, I know it's hard 'cause everyday it's a struggle
Being both mommy and daddy, tryna hustle now
Anyway you can just to bring home the bacon
Baby daddy fakin' it, keepin your head achin'
Takin' shit off a job payin you 4.65, an hr. (Damn)
Feeling like slaves cause the white man still holds the power
But your strength will get (stronger) soon, remember that
Because we God's children, strong, fearless and black
Fact still remains we are harder then a motherfucker
Lord, how long they gonna try to keep your children under?
Don't sit and wonder, pull yourself up and stand firm
'Cause every bit of pain you take is a lesson learned
You've earned the right to be a queen, girl, so take your throne
And if your man is a good man, then be his back bone
We strong like Noah's ark, we gon' make it through the rain again
I know it seems bad but we gon' laugh after the pain again
Believe that
[Chorus]
No pain (No pain)
No pain (No pain)
No gain (No gain)
Oh, no pain (No pain)
No pain (No pain)
No gain (No gain)
No pain (No pain)
No pain (No pain)
No gain (No gain)
Oh, no pain (No pain)
No pain (No pain)
No gain (No gain)
[Verse 3: GT]
Out here strugglin and striving got me screamin for help
Ain't nobody giving me shit I gotta get it myself
Got my back against the wall but I'm surviving this shit
Can't run, can't hide in the midst of the shit
Who do you call when your kids get hungry?
Can't call on baby daddy, he left you lonely
Only Lord know the pain that we fightin inside
Don't you cry, dry your eyes, it's either do or die
Momma made us some strong women
Gotta be strong women, gotta hold on women
And best believe we gon' make it
Through the storm women, never let them see you sweat
If you under pressure, pressure [?]
So don't let them stress ya
Don't let them get the best of ya
Cause if they do they is gonna take advantage of ya
So keep it true, see we be fightin against the world
Precious like a pearl, got me screamin' "Fuck the world"
[Chorus]
No pain (No pain)
No pain (No pain)
No gain (No gain)
Oh, no pain (No pain)
No pain (No pain)
No gain (No gain)
No pain (No pain)
No pain (No pain)
No gain (No gain)
Oh, no pain (No pain)
No pain (No pain)
No gain (No gain)
