Pain will make you better
Tell me how you feel
Look over your shoulder
Time will make it real
Give me no excuses
I know how ya feel
Pain will make it better
Pain will make it better
Pain will make it better

Let me see how many palms go up high
If you've ever felt the world had you licked (put 'em up high)
And what you waving side to side to symbolize
Needing help on the sand 'fore you under quick
Big mama said "the Devil's up to no good"
But we can heal it on a Sunday with a good book (but)
Oft we deal it on a Monday for a good look (and)
Make it part of the campaign, to withstand pain
Me, myself, place it all on my shoulders
And give it my all, like heavy lifting
No gain without tears and sweat
They claim blue skies with white clouds, steady drifting
When pain come to get ya (it hit ya like flu)
Better times will pick ya (do what you gotta do)
To earn focus in the stormy weather
Come out the tunnel to the light saying

Pain will make you better
Tell me how you feel
Look over your shoulder
Time will make it real
Give me no excuses
I know how ya feel
Pain will make you better (yeah)
Pain will make it better (oh whoa whoa ah)
(I hear the people say) pain will make it better (oh whoa whoa ah)
(I hear my people say) pain will make it better

No wetter, four-letter, mo' better
Slow pain, no gain, go getta
Change like the weather
Solid as a rock, small piece of leather
But well put together
Flames are endeavors
Time to find out that game makes it better
Pain makes it better
Shades of epiphany, can't let it get to me
Move so differently, do it so swiftly
Ease into my style, lay mine down
King be crowned, look at me now
Teaching my classes by the masses
Used to gang bang, used to love the clashes
Now cash is the only motivation, but not for me G
I’m into public relations
That's food for your De La Soul, word to the letter

Pain will make you better
Tell me how you feel
Look over your shoulder
Time will make it real
Give me no excuses
I know how ya feel
Pain will make it better (yeah)
Pain will make it better (oh whoa whoa ah)
(I heard my nana say it, say it)

Yo, the bigger the headache, bigger the pill
The harder you fall, stronger the will
We came from the back of the bus
Talking "Watch the mobile," now we're on a house on a hill
The struggle went from filling ya gas tank
The bank wasn't feeling your loan
The OT couldn't cover the bills
And life came with a couple of spills
But we're gonna use that pain fo' fuel so

Give me no excuses
I know how ya feel
Pain will make it better (yeah)
Pain will make it better (oh whoa whoa ah)
(I hear the people say) pain will make it better (oh whoa whoa ah)
(You hear my people saying) pain will make it better (oh whoa whoa ah)
(I hear the people say) pain will make it better (oh whoa whoa ah)
Pain will make it better (oh whoa whoa ah)
Pain will make it better (oh whoa whoa ah)
Pain will make it better
