You Can Never Feel My Pain

The Prodigy · Other Songs - The Prodigy

[Chorus]

Naw, you can never feel my pain nigga

And you can never feel my pain nigga

Never feel my pain nigga

How do I start it



Nineteen seventy four, mutherfucker I was born with pain

My moms and my pops pass it down to me

So don't talk to me about can I feel yours

'Cause I ain't feelin' you at all, your pain is impure



You cryin cause you grew from the projects

That's not pain, that's emotions, you a bitch

I'm talkin' bout permanent, physical suffering

You know nothin' about that, you just complain cause you stress



Nigga, my pain's in the flesh

And through the years that pain became my friend; sedated

With Morphine as a little kid

I built a tolerance for drugs, addicted to the medicine



Now hospital emergency treat me like a fiend

I rather die sometimes I wish a nigga O.D.

Beggin' God for help, only to find that I'm all by my god damn self

Ay, You can never feel my pain nigga



[Chorus]



And the females ask...P, why you always look mad

Don't mind me if I may come off like that

But see, a nigga depressed, I need smoke

I need me a drink, I'm tryin' to stop those



Experience life, through the shoes of me

What you find, is you can't do that, you ain't built for it

The impact I put on this earth

Is nothin' like you ever seen or heard; so look listen



When I speak, sit up in your seat

Pay attention to the words, cause the story is deep

In and out of crisis, since before I could walk

It gave me strength though, now a days I hardly talk



It made me cold-hearted, anti, I won't play sports

I barely joke or play games, take it how you want

My handicapped took its toll on my sanity

My moms got me at the shrink at like 13



And doctors called the cops on me

'Cause I be throwin' on [unknown] and they ignore me

I gotta, try to calm down and breathe

I can only hold it but for so long; put me to sleep



Do I sound insane...

If I do, then this here was written for you

'Cause you could never feel the pain nigga



[Chorus]
