Cameron London, Lenny Classix - Echoes of Pain Lyrics

It's too many to blame
Tell me what's to gain
From putting RIP before they names
Yeah
And it ain't no second chances
Souls are currency
And we been paying out advances
Will society ever change
If you don't know then it won't help if I explain
Taking lives is not a game
I hear the echoes of pain
Through the mumbling, I hear it
There's a complicated beauty in the struggle
But I cheer it
Plus I'm right there to cushion they falling if they willing
Playing by my own terms and these are terms of endearment
Put my hoodie over puddles of tears left by the women
Of these fallen kings that couldn't breathe or
Felt obligated to a section of these streets that they don't really own
13 screaming he putting the city on
Racks, g's 45s, weed all in the video
Real g's move in silence like your highness
Teach you not to follow the script
Boy redesign it
We trying and tired of being tired
Realignments are needed
Why weather the storm we changing climates instead
This for misfits that were misled
Princes, princesses, parolees ducking piss tests
Ironic ain't it
Hope it work out, still get a rip chest
Tryna curl the weight of the world
Stuck on the bench pressed
It's too many to blame
Tell me what's to gain
From putting RIP before they names
Yeah
And it ain't no second chances
Souls are currency
And we been paying out advances
Will society ever change
If you don't know then it won't help if I explain
Taking lives is not a game
I hear the echoes of pain
I wrote this back in 2011
The girl I wrote it for
Hopefully resting up in heaven
This not another love song but please
God give me the strength
I'm out here begging on my knees, for some guidance
You told me to change and I'm complying
Helping your people up to the point that I was dying
Cause they hard-headed
Don't wanna listen, I'm sick of trying
Hold my head up
Nothing changes just cause I'm crying
Man the kids got shot
Mamas got shot
Daddies got shot
But even Jesus got got, so what I'm saying
Is it's really some evil on this earth
Some get to it later but others kill us at birth
And call it accidental
Prison sentences are incremental
Most the role model's influence is detrimental
So tell me how can I change
Just one echo of pain
It's too many to blame
Tell me what's to gain
From putting RIP before they names
Yeah
And it ain't no second chances
Souls are currency
And we been paying out advances
Will society ever change
If you don't know then it won't help if I explain
Taking lives is not a game
I hear the echoes of pain
I can understand how on the other side
Our loved ones want us to keep going
But yet, I just wonder if it's very emotionally healthy
Not to feel the hurt and loss

It's too many to blame
Tell me what's to gain
From putting RIP before they names
Yeah
And it ain't no second chances
Souls are currency
And we been paying out advances
Will society ever change
If you don't know then it won't help if I explain
Taking lives is not a game
I hear the echoes of pain
Through the mumbling, I hear it
There's a complicated beauty in the struggle
But I cheer it
Plus I'm right there to cushion they falling if they willing

Put my hoodie over puddles of tears left by the women
