Governor Blood Sweat & Tears Lyrics

Good Lord, don't know the pain

Sometimes women don't understand
What men be going through
When a good man is looking right at you
Ain't this ghetto for you baby, listen girl

I'm a son of pain, I was born to this game
At another age, wishing I could turn the page
At seven and four, mama pulled a trigger
And daddy couldn't figure how to stand arranged

[?] to say the least, got the rage of a beast
The pride of a warrior ain't afraid to come blazing for you
Sometimes I feel that my life is going up in smoke, trying not to choke
Cause death, it ain't no joke, oh, no, no no, no

You see [?], they came to sign on the lyrics
But what they saying if they had to live it
Most would fear and then erase the track
Ain't got the heart to spin it

You don't know the pain I feel
You don't know what it took
To blood, sweat & tears
This ghetto rain, can you feel my pain?

So tell me what do you know
About your alarm clock ringing
Five thirty in the morning, same old song you singing
It's the hell of waking up when you just went to sleep You got to meet the man
'Cause your job you're trying to keep
But thirty percent of what you're making is already taken
It's the time for a race but the boss keeps on faking, oh girl

It's the survival of the fittest, ain't no rules to the spinners
So get what you can take, take what you can get
Counting on paper you ain't made yet
Oh, no, no, no, no

You see life is a gamble, are you willing to bet?
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
The choice is yours to choose
Oh, baby, what will you do?

You don't know the pain I feel
You don't know what it took
To blood, sweat & tears
This ghetto rain, can you feel my pain?

Can you feel my pain, baby?
All I wanna know, ain't this ghetto for you, yeah, yeah
Ain't this ghetto for you, yeah, hey
Ain't this ghetto for you, yeah, hey
Ain't this ghetto for you, yeah, hey

Good Lord
How can one country boy be so ghetto
Can you feel my pain, baby? Take it or leave it girl
Feel my pain, baby, take your girl and step off
You heard me?
