The Pain Around Me Lyrics by Toronzo Cannon

The Chicago Way

2016

[Verse 1]
Six kids on the corner up to no damn good
That’s six broken homes strugglin’ in my neighborhood
You got liquor stores everywhere on my side of town
I don’t want my kids to go outside, ‘cause the thugs are hanging around
[Chorus]
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to sing this song
About the pain around me, Lord, but this is what I see, what I see
[Verse 2]
Check it out
You got the preacher man in the church giving folks false hope
You never see a politician around unless they want your vote
Women walking around with skirts so, so, so tight
Looking in cars as they go by saying, “you want some fun tonight?”
[Chorus]
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to sing this song, no, no
About the pain around me, Lord, hey, but this is what I see, what I see, hey
[Solo: 25 measures]
[Verse 3]
Shooting and killing’ I'm living in a war zone
See, police they never come around, so I'm out here on my own
I’m just an honest working man trying to do right and feed my family
When I go to work got to carry a piece, Lord, for extra security
[Chorus]
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to sing this song
About the pain around me, Lord, but this is what I see, what I see, yeah, yeah, yeah
But this is what I see
