Pain Into Paper

Intro

Yeah, uh, from the dirt, we rise

Pain fuel, watch me touch the skies

(Let's go)

Verse

Woke up broke, pockets empty, stomach growlin' loud

Demons in my ear, tryna pull me underground

Lost my homie to the streets, mama cryin' every night

Bills stackin' like a tower, no light at the end in sight

Betrayed by the closest, fake love cut like a knife

Hustled double shifts, feet bleedin', barely alive

Pain hit hard, turned tears to fire in my veins

Swore I'd flip it, no chains, break free from the pain

Grinded in the dark, no sleep, just dreams on replay

Dodged the traps, flipped the script, now they all wanna play

From ramen noodles to feasts, watch the glow-up ignite

Every scar's a story, every loss made me fight

They laughed when I fell, now they clap when I win

Turned "you can't" to "watch me," let the comeback begin

Pain was the teacher, success the revenge

Now I'm eatin', feastin', this the end of the bend

Chorus

Turned my pain into paper, stack it tall (tall, tall)

Pain into power, never fall (fall, fall)

From the bottom to the ball, yeah we ball (ball, ball)

Success callin', answer that (that, that)

Turned my pain into paper, stack it tall (stack it tall)

Pain into power, never fall (never fall)

From the bottom to the ball, yeah we ball (we ball)

Success callin', answer that (ayy, ayy)

Verse

Late nights writin' bars, ink bleedin' my truth

Rejection letters pilin', but I stayed in the booth

Heartbreak had me numb, love turned cold as the grave

But I channeled that hurt, built an empire from the brave

Dodged the bullets, mental and the real ones flyin'

Turned "why me" to "watch me," now the whole world vibin'

Exes hit my line, want a piece of the glow

But I leveled up solo, pain made me a pro

Bank account fat, now the struggle's a ghost

Every wound healed gold, that's the ultimate boast

They see the shine, forget the storm I weathered

Pain was the seed, success the treasure I gathered

No handouts, earned every dime with sweat

From cryin' on the floor to private jets

This the anthem for the broken who mend

Pain to platinum, we winnin' till the end (yuh)

Chorus

Turned my pain into paper, stack it tall (tall, tall)

Pain into power, never fall (fall, fall)

From the bottom to the ball, yeah we ball (ball, ball)

Success callin', answer that (that, that)

Turned my pain into paper, stack it tall (stack it tall)

Pain into power, never fall (never fall)

From the bottom to the ball, yeah we ball (we ball)

Success callin', answer that (ayy, ayy)

Bridge

Yeah, uh, feel that fire risin' (risin')

Pain don't break me, it drives me (drives me)

Every tear a brick, buildin' empires high

No more cryin', only fly (fly, fly)

Chorus

Turned my pain into paper, stack it tall (tall, tall)

Pain into power, never fall
