about

This poem is inspired by Charmain Renata Hubbard (Queen Sistah Charmain)

lyrics

PAIN

Let me tell you a little something about a word called Pain
And how it affects you in ways, you can’t even explain
See, for me, it started with my ex, by the name of CHARMAIN
And not it lingers and makes me never, ever want to love again

See, when we first met, Soulmates is what my spirit claimed
But for her, the feeling
Well, it just wasn’t even the same
We shared alot of commonalities, and an identical aim
But on the relationship itself, see, there was a constant strain

Now I cannot exclaim, that I was not the one to blame
For, I was more concerned with fortune and fame
We created a group called N2WISHN that was off the Chain
And when we stepped on stage to entertain
We received serious Acclaim

Now everybody thought we were the perfect couple,
And they would say “You two are the same”
But little did they know, after the show...
We were going through things

She didn’t like my mannerisms, and claimed by demeanor was lame
So, every night we would get in a figh,
And I would get verbally slain
My self-esteem became soft like Ice cream
But up in my brain
I used to say, I need to deal with this today
If I want fortune and fame

So, I guess I was only out for the monetary gain
Which is a shame, cause I used to love her
But now I was filled with disdain
And of course, she wasn’t happy either, having a man she felt she had to train
See, N2WISHN was the bomb
But, it was the relationship that was insane

So, I tried to be tame, time and time again
And I tried to refrain from doing all the things
That she claimed drove her insane


Why? Cause to be perfectly honest...
She was quite a beautiful dame
And I somehow, someway wanted her to have my last name

See, I wanted our love to last, so inspiring others would be the thing
We did, when I did my poetry and beatboxed
And she scatted and sang
But no matter what I did, the relationship always stayed the same
And I always ened the day, with the same ol’ pain

Now looking back, I wish I would’ve done more
In the beginning, to make her refrain
From getting annoyed and taking my joy
And on my heart leaving a stain

But I was addicted to my goals in aims
And living life in the fast lane
Wanting Fortune and Fame and monetary gain
While loving it when we entertained

But now, I find myself lonely, for she was the only
Sistah who truly shot her love in her veins
And I was addicted like cocaine
So now I abstain, from dealing with any dames

She was the queen of my dreams,
A conscious sistah,
Vegetarian and metaphysical, who could sang
So, now I just hang, trying to do my thang
And often find myself walking in the rain

Trying to get Charmain, off my brain
For, my life will never, ever be the same
For, I’m forever scarred, which is why it’s so hard
Dealing with word called PAIN....
