SUCKER FOR PAIN by LIL WAYNE WIZ KHALIFA&IMAGINE DRAGONS (2024)

I torture you
Take my hand through the flames
I torture you
I'm a slave to your games
I'm just a sucker for pain
I wanna chain you up
I wanna tie you down
Ooh

I'm just a sucker for pain (Dolla $ign)

I'm a sucker for pain
I got the squad tatted on me from my neck to my ankles
Pressure from the man got us all in rebellion (yeah)
We gon' go to war, yeah, without failure (ooh, yeah)
Do it for the fam, dog, ten toes down, dog
Love and the loyalty that's what we stand for
Alienated by society
All this pressure give me anxiety (anxiety)
Walk slow through the fire
Like, who gon' try us?
Feelin' the world go against us (against us)
So we put the world on our shoulders

I torture you
Take my hand through the flames
I torture you
I'm a slave to your games
I'm just a sucker for pain
I wanna chain you up
I wanna tie you down
Ooh
I'm just a sucker for pain

I been at it with my homies
It don't matter, you don't know me
I been rollin' with my team, we the illest on the scene
I been ridin' 'round the city with my squad
I been ridin' 'round the city with my squad
We just posted, gettin' crazy, livin' like this is so amazin'
Hold up take a step back, when we roll up, 'cause I know what
We been loyal, we been fam, we the ones you trust in
Won't hesitate to go straight to your head like a concussion
I know I been bustin', no discussion for my family
No hesitation, through my scope I see my enemy
Like what's up? Hold up, we finna reload up
Yes, I reload up, I know what up, I know what up

I torture you
Take my hand through the flames
I torture you
I'm a slave to your games
I'm just a sucker for pain
I wanna chain you up
I wanna tie you down
Ooh
I'm just a sucker for pain

Uh, devoted to destruction
A full dosage of detrimental dysfunction
I'm dyin' slow but the devil tryna rush me
See I'm a fool for pain, I'm a dummy
Might cut my head off right after I slit my throat
Tongue kiss a shark, got jealous bitches up in the boat
Eatin' peanut butter and jelly fishes on toast
And if I get stung I get stoked, might choke
Like I chewed a chunk of charcoal, naked in the North Pole
That's why my heart cold, full of sorrow, the lost soul
And only Lord knows when I'm comin' to the crossroads
So I don't fear sh*t but tomorrow
And I'm a sucker for pain, it ain't nothin' but pain
You just f*ckin' complain, you ain't tough as you claim
Just stay up in your lane, just don't f*ck with Lil Wayne
I'ma jump from a plane or stand in front of a train
'Cause I'm a sucker for pain

Used to doin' bad, now we feel like we just now gettin' it
Ain't got no other way so we start it and finish it
No pain, no gain
Never stand down, made our own way
Never goin' slow, we pick up the pace
This is what we wanted from a young age
No emotion, that's what business is
Lord, have mercy on the witnesses

I torture you
Take my hand through the flames
I torture you
I'm just a sucker for pain

More pain
Got me beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin'
For more pain
Got me beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin'
For more pain
Got me beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin'

For more pain
Got me beggin'

The song "Sucker for Pain" by Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, and Imagine Dragons is a powerful composition that delves into the theme of pain and the human psyche's relationship with it. The chorus "I torture you, take my hand through the flames, I torture you, I'm a slave to your games, I'm just a sucker for pain" reflects the character's willingness to endure pain for the sake of someone or something they are loyal to. The theme of loyalty is emphasized throughout the song, referring to the family or the squad to which the character belongs, and expressed the need to protect them by any means necessary.

The song is made up of four distinct verses, each with a different rap delivery and with various notions of pain expressed. The first verse represents Imagine Dragons and their perspective on pain, while the second verse represents Wiz Khalifa and his idea of going to war for his squad. Lil Wayne raps the third verse, depicting himself as a "fool for pain" and someone who is a "dummy" going through life without fear of what tomorrow will bring. Meanwhile, the final verse is Ty Dolla $ign's own take on pain.

Insights from the lyrics may suggest that the song is linked to the mysterious villain from the movie Suicide Squad. The song was created specifically for the Suicide Squad movie released in 2016, and it contains several references to its characters.

I torture you
I am inflicting pain upon you

Take my hand through the flames
Join me in my danger and suffering

I torture you
I am inflicting pain upon you

I'm a slave to your games
I am under your control and doing as you wish

I'm just a sucker for pain
I am easily compelled to endure physical or emotional anguish

I wanna chain you up
I desire to imprison and subjugate you

I wanna tie you down
I desire to immobilize and subjugate you

Ooh
exclamation of excitement or anticipation

I'm just a sucker for pain (Dolla $ign)
I am easily compelled to endure physical or emotional anguish

I got the squad tatted on me from my neck to my ankles
I am fully committed to and identified with my group of friends or family

Pressure from the man got us all in rebellion (yeah)
We are reacting against authority figures who try to control or restrict us

We gon' go to war, yeah, without failure (ooh, yeah)
We are prepared to fight for our cause without hesitation

Do it for the fam, dog, ten toes down, dog
We are doing this for our family or group and are fully committed to it

Love and the loyalty that's what we stand for
Our principles are based on love and devotion to our group

Alienated by society
We feel ostracized and rejected by mainstream society

All this pressure give me anxiety (anxiety)
The stress and expectations put on us cause me great worry and unease

Walk slow through the fire
We are moving cautiously through dangerous situations

Like, who gon' try us?
We are daring others to challenge us or attack us

Feelin' the world go against us (against us)
We sense that the world is opposed to us and our beliefs

So we put the world on our shoulders
We feel responsible for carrying the burden of our beliefs and fighting against opposition

I been at it with my homies
I have been constantly working with my friends or group

It don't matter, you don't know me
Other people's opinions or judgments do not affect me because they do not know me well enough

We just posted, gettin' crazy, livin' like this is so amazin'
We are living recklessly and without boundaries, and find it thrilling

Hold up take a step back, when we roll up, 'cause I know what
Get out of our way when we approach, because we are confident in our ability to handle any situation

We been loyal, we been fam, we the ones you trust in
We have always been faithful and devoted to our group, and are the ones you can rely on

Won't hesitate to go straight to your head like a concussion
We will immediately and decisively take action against anyone who poses a threat to our group

I know I been bustin', no discussion for my family
I have been working hard and putting in effort for my family or group without question

No hesitation, through my scope I see my enemy
I am prepared and focused on taking down anyone who opposes or threatens my group

Like what's up? Hold up, we finna reload up
We are daring others to fight us, and are preparing to attack again

Uh, devoted to destruction
We are dedicated to causing chaos and destruction

A full dosage of detrimental dysfunction
We are fully engaged in behavior that is harmful and disruptive

I'm dyin' slow but the devil tryna rush me
I am slowly self-destructing, but the devil is urging me to act recklessly and quickly

See I'm a fool for pain, I'm a dummy
I am foolish and self-destructive for willingly accepting and enduring pain

Might cut my head off right after I slit my throat
I am willing to undergo extreme suffering or self-harm without fear of death

Tongue kiss a shark, got jealous bitches up in the boat
I am engaging in dangerous or risky behavior without concern for consequences or others' reactions

Eatin' peanut butter and jelly fishes on toast
I am doing odd or unconventional things for my own satisfaction or amusem*nt

And if I get stung I get stoked, might choke
If I experience pain or danger, I get excited and may even risk my own life

Like I chewed a chunk of charcoal, naked in the North Pole
I am enduring extreme pain or discomfort, feeling exposed and vulnerable

That's why my heart cold, full of sorrow, the lost soul
I am emotionally closed off and damaged, consumed by sadness and despair

And only Lord knows when I'm comin' to the crossroads
I am uncertain about my future and what consequences my reckless behavior will bring

So I don't fear sh*t but tomorrow
I am not afraid of anything except for what the future holds

And I'm a sucker for pain, it ain't nothin' but pain
I am drawn towards pain and discomfort without regard for safety or well-being

You just f*ckin' complain, you ain't tough as you claim
You are only complaining about pain, showing that you are not actually as strong as you pretend to be

Just stay up in your lane, just don't f*ck with Lil Wayne
Stay in your own business and avoid causing trouble with me

I'ma jump from a plane or stand in front of a train
I am willing to undertake extreme danger or risk

'Cause I'm a sucker for pain
Because I am drawn towards pain and discomfort without regard for safety or well-being

Used to doin' bad, now we feel like we just now gettin' it
We were accustomed to trouble, but now feel like we are finally succeeding

Ain't got no other way so we start it and finish it
We have no other options, so we begin and end our own path

No pain, no gain
We believe that suffering and struggle are necessary to achieve success

Never stand down, made our own way
We never back down and have created our own unique path

Never goin' slow, we pick up the pace
We are always moving forward and accelerating our progress

This is what we wanted from a young age
We have always had this ambition and drive

No emotion, that's what business is
We are detached and unemotional in achieving our goals

Lord, have mercy on the witnesses
Please show kindness and compassion to those who have seen what we have done

More pain
I desire more pain or discomfort

Got me beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin'
I am desperate or pleading for more pain or discomfort

For more pain
I desire more pain or discomfort

Got me beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin'
I am desperate or pleading for more pain or discomfort

For more pain
I desire more pain or discomfort

Got me beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin', beggin'
I am desperate or pleading for more pain or discomfort

For more pain
I desire more pain or discomfort

Got me beggin'
I am desperate or pleading for more pain or discomfort
