[Chorus: Future]
I don't never✦ feel pain
'Cause I done felt too much pain
Been around✦ here, standing✦ in the rain
Blood flowing✦ through my veins
I'm just doing my thing
Getting✦ money,✦ rock a bunch of gold chains
And I don't never✦ feel pain
'Cause I done felt too much pain
I'm just standing✦ in the rain
Blood flowing✦ through my veins
I'm just doing my thing
Getting✦ money,✦ rocking✦ all these gold chains
Million✦ dollars✦ on one gold ring
[Verse 2: Pusha T]
Pain is joy when it cries
It's my smile in disguise
It's what makes✦ the story✦ chilling
Spare the women✦ and the children
Hear the scribbles of the villain
Yuugh, this is drug dealer✦ brilliance
[Drum Break]
[Verse 3: Pusha T]
Pyrex✦ on the platter like hot sex
But my tribe don't quest like love
Came in this bitch with a mask and a glove
And a team of lawyers to run the train on a judge
It's no risk without✦ gain
It's no trust without✦ shame
It's no us without✦ 'caine
Push, my name is my name
In the kitchen with a cape on, apron✦
Trey-eight on, could've been Trayvon
But instead, I chose Avon✦
Powder-face like a geisha
Arm & Hammer✦ for the breakup
Turn one into✦ two, watch the brick kiss and makeup
Woo, it's a match made in heaven✦
All that's missing✦ is the reverend
All that's missing✦ is a blessing
I hope God gets the message
[Chorus: Future]
I don't never✦ feel pain
'Cause I done felt too much pain
Been around✦ here, standing✦ in the rain
Blood flowing✦ through my veins
I'm just doing my thing
Getting✦ money,✦ rock a bunch of gold chains
And I don't never✦ feel pain
'Cause I done felt too much pain
I'm just standing✦ in the rain
Blood flowing✦ through my veins
I'm just doing my thing
Getting✦ money,✦ rocking✦ all these gold chains
Million✦ dollars✦ on one gold ring

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Pain is joy when it cries / It's my smile in disguise"

① Physical suffering masked by the hardened expression of a criminal lifestyle.② A philosophical observation that the endurance of pain allows the narrator to recognize and appreciate his 'joy' (success/wealth).

"Pyrex on the platter like hot sex"

① The literal visual of cooking crack cocaine in a pyrex dish.② A metaphor equating the sensory 'heat' and desirability of the drug product to the primal intensity of sexual intimacy.

Exceptional command of the pocket in delivery

Thematic consistency in constructing a 'villain' archetype

Strong use of contrast between tenderness and criminal enterprise

Brief length limits the potential for deeper, multi-staged narrative expansion

Heavy reliance on signature catchphrases may feel repetitive to casual listeners
