(Pain... pain... yeah man...) Art born in fire, bred in rain, Mi paint from pain just to ease di pain... (ease di pain...) Ease di pain, yeah... ease di pain, now... Mi nuh smile cause life did sweet, nah... Mi smile ‘cause mi survive di heat, yah... Mi draw from wounds, mi draw from fights, Mi shape mi canvas in long, dark nights. Mi nah forget, mi nah pretend, Mi write so soul can start fi mend. One line fi sorrow, one line fi flame, Mi build mi voice from weight and shame. Art from pain... (pain, pain...) Ease di pain... (ease again...) Same fire burn mi, same fire heal, Mi chant it loud ‘cause di truth too real! Art from pain... (hear mi now...) Ease di pain... (every brow...) Mi craft each word like it hold mi fate, Fi di ones who fight, mi illuminate. Mi nah born in peace, mi rise in war, But mi paint peace where di battle scar. Mi pen like drum, mi brush like cry, Every stroke a reason mi still try. Repeat mi verse like mi chant fi soul, Repeat mi pain like mi chant fi whole. Mi nah mek tune fi a shallow show, Mi chant fi di ones who don’t let go. (Yeah man, chant it, chant it...) Mi write from tear, mi write from chain, Mi break di curse when mi call mi name. Mi art nah nice, but it true like root, Mi song give strength. Mi nah run from grief — mi learn fi build, Mi climb from wound, mi climb from guilt. Mi nah numb di hurt — mi shape it clean, Till it bloom like rose where thorn did been. Mi chant it once... mi chant it twice, Mi chant til pain turn pure and nice. (Yeah... chant it, mi bredda...) Art from pain... (say it loud...) Ease di pain... (fi di crowd...) Mi nah forget where mi coming from, Mi nah forget what di fire done. Art from pain... Ease di pain... One song, one fight, one love remain.
