HOUSE OF PAIN LYRICS - The Have Nots

"The Have Nots"



Benevolence, mercy, discipline..

Benevolence, mercy, discipline..



[Everlast: x4]

Here come the, here come the, here come the "PAIN!!!"



[Everlast]

Uplift your soul, get your house in order

MC's be actin like they walkin on water

I'll break ya down like a poem wrote in haiku

Who you 'gwan lie to? Bwoy I crucify you

Hammer to the nails, commence to impalin

My acid flashback, got everything trailin

I'm sailin blind on the open seas

Like an overloaded boat of Haitian refugees

And I'm on my knees, my face on the rug

One more prostration, for my salvation

My jinn's buckin up, it's got me fuckin up

Be callin my flesh, and my soul won't mesh



[Chorus]

So lick a shot when I heat up the spot

I'm takin from the have's, cause I be the have not

Lick a shot when I heat up the spot

Bwoy, where you 'gwan run when the gun get hot?

Lick a shot when I heat up the spot

I'm taking from the have's, cause I be the have not

Lick a shot when I heat up the spot

Bwoy, where you 'gwan run when the gun get hot?



[Everlast: x4]

Here come the, here come the, here come the "PAIN!!!"



[Danny Boy]

I got the pressures of the world comin down all around me

I thought I was lost but thank God you found me

I'm gettin crazy ideas of suicide

Lord I tried - Lord I tried

To make the best of what I got, I keep takin potshots

from the critics and the media, that's what it be to ya

But you can stick it where the sun don't shine

Cause I'm goin for mine, I rock it all the time

HERE COMES THE PAIN!



[Chorus]



[Everlast: x4]

Here come the, here come the, here come the "PAIN!!!"



[Everlast]

Now in the race full of rats that be holdin gats

I'll run the hustle on the legend like Minnesota Fats

Not Domino, cause your wisdom found a thrill

Drunk off Strawberry Hill the episode was rerunnin

Over and over, and three times a lady

She said peep the scene at the end I ain't shady

But, you and me is hush hush, the word be mum

If you keep the low pro' I'll still give you some

Cause, I got a man and he pays my bills

He keeps my wears real fly and hooks my hair and nails

But baby don't sweat it, baby keep calm

Baby don't worry I'll be viet cong

I can run three days off a bowl of rice

and a piece of fish, I'll grant your every wish



[Chorus]



Benevolence, mercy, discipline, and "PAIN!!!"

Benevolence, mercy, discipline, and "PAIN!!!"

Benevolence, mercy, discipline, and "PAIN!!!"

Benevolence, mercy, discipline, and "PAIN!!!"



["PAIN!!!" echoes as the beat fades]
