Regulate the Pain

[Intro]
Late night, low faith
Both hands on the wheel, no brakes
Heart broke, whole world on my case
But I’m still here, still here (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Took hits to the ribs, to the pride
Got played, got left, got denied
Same song, new day, same lesson
Every scar on my skin just a blessing
Had dirt on my name, I was broke
Had smoke in my lungs, I would choke
Then I learned how to stand in the flame
Turn every wrong turn to a lane in my name
[Chorus]
I regulate the pain, let it run right through
If I wake up breathing, that’s a win, that’s proof
I been down so bad, had to crawl my way
But I’m alive, I survive just to please another day
I regulate the pain, make it work for me
All that hurt I carried turned to energy
If the sun come up, I’mma find my way
‘Cause I’m alive, I survive just to please another day (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Cold eyes, fake love, I remember
Thin shirt, thick rain, last December
Had fear on my tongue, I was mumbling
Bills piling up, stomach rumbling
Then I stared at the man in the mirror
Said “You either get bitter or get clearer”
Turn pressure to pace, turn losses to drive
Now the same hard nights keep my hope alive
[Chorus]
I regulate the pain, let it run right through
If I wake up breathing, that’s a win, that’s proof
I been down so bad, had to crawl my way
But I’m alive, I survive just to please another day
I regulate the pain, make it work for me
All that hurt I carried turned to energy
If the sun come up, I’mma find my way
‘Cause I’m alive, I survive just to please another day (oh yeah)
[Bridge]
Every bruise on my soul, I bank it
Every “no” that I heard, I thank it
Every time that I broke, I’m richer
Pain drew the lines, I just changed the picture (hey!)
[Chorus]
I regulate the pain, let it run right through
If I wake up breathing, that’s a win, that’s proof
I been down so bad, had to crawl my way
But I’m alive, I survive just to please another day
I regulate the pain, make it work for me
All that hurt I carried turned to energy
If the sun come up, I’mma find my way
‘Cause I’m alive, I survive just to please another day

rap, Male vocals in a G‑funk-meets-EDM hybrid: rubbery sub-bass, squelchy talkbox lead, swung West Coast drums over a driving four-on-the-floor pulse. Verses are half-sung rap with a deep, laid-back delivery riding syncopated hi-hats, then the hook explodes with bright synth stabs, vocoder harmonies, and sidechained pads. Energy builds each chorus with stacked ad-libs and riser effects, then breaks down to just bass, claps, and vocal for the bridge before a final, peak-time drop., tone, deep, edm, electro
