Verse 1 – Past & Drugs]
I came from nothing, streets taught me the game,
Highs and lows, every night felt the same.
White lines, red lights, shadows in the rain,
Gave my soul for a moment, lost in the flame.
She said, “Look at you – this ain't who you are,”
But the devil speaks softer than the noise in a bar.
Nights full of smoke, heart turned to stone,
But deep in my chest, I just wanted a home.
[Chorus]
No pain, no gain,
I walked through fire, through the thunder and rain.
No pain, no gain,
Now I lay down with my fam, free from the chain.
No pain, no gain,
My road was dark, but I stayed in my lane.
No pain, no gain,
‘Cause love can heal what hate left in pain.
[Verse 2 – Women & Temptation]
Too many faces, no names that stayed,
They came and went – just nights I replayed.
Searching for love in the curve of a waist,
But all I found was a bitter aftertaste.
Lust in the moment, truth in disguise,
But none of them saw through the war in my eyes.
Then she appeared, brought light to my gray,
Said “I won't leave,” and I begged her to stay.
[Chorus]
No pain, no gain,
I walked through fire, through the thunder and rain.
No pain, no gain,
Now I lay down with my fam, free from the chain.
No pain, no gain,
My road was dark, but I stayed in my lane.
No pain, no gain,
‘Cause love can heal what hate left in pain.
[Verse 3 – Family & Future]
Now I hold my child, small hands in mine,
And I swear he’ll never walk through the grime.
Daddy was a fighter, Mama my guide,
Without them both, I'd have surely died.
I'm building a home, brick by brick,
Demons still whisper, but I don’t let them stick.
What once was a curse, became my light,
I learned how to stand, I learned how to fight.
[Chorus – Outro]
No pain, no gain,
I walked through fire, through the thunder and rain.
No pain, no gain,
Now I lay down with my fam, free from the chain.
No pain, no gain,
My road was dark, but I stayed in my lane.
No pain, no gain,
‘Cause love can heal what hate left in pain.
