Nothing To Lose

The only way to change me is maybe blow my brains out

Stuck in the middle of the game to get the pain out

Pray to my God everyday but he don't listen

The poverty bothers me but mama's working wonders in the kitchen

Listen, I can hear her crying in the bedroom

Praying for money we never think would she be dead soon?

Am I wrong for wishing I was somewhere else?

At 13 can't feed myself

Can I blame daddy 'cause he left me? Wish he would've helped me

Too much like him 'til my mama don't love me

On my own at a early age getting paid

And I'm strapped so I'll never be afraid

Where did I go astray I'm hanging in the back streets?

Running with G's and dope fiends will they jack me?

Can't turn back my eyes on the prize

I got nothing to lose, everybody gotta die

Say good-bye to the bad guy that one you fucked when you passed by

Buck buck from a glock, tempered glass fly

Do or Die walk a mile in my shoes and you'd be crazy too

With nothing to lose

I've got nothing to lose, got nothing to lose

(That's why I got gang related)

Got nothing to lose, got nothing to lose

(That's why I got gang related)

Got nothing to lose, got nothing to lose

(That's why I got gang related)

Nothing to lose

(That's why I got gang related)

I thank the Lord for my many blessings

Though I'm stressing keep a vest for protection

From the barrel of the Smith & Wesson

And all my niggas in the pen', here we go again

Ain't nothing separating us from a mack 10

Born in the ghetto as a hustla older

Straight soldier bucking at them bustas

No matter how you try niggas never die

We just retaliate with hate then we multiply

See me striking down the block hitting co'ners

Mobbing like a muthafucka living like I wanna

Ain't no stopping at the red lights I'm sideways

Thug life muthafucka crime pays

Let the cops put they lights on, chase me nigga

Zig-zagging through the freeway, race me nigga

In a high speed chase with the law

The realest muthafucka that you ever saw

I'm living raw 'til they bury me don't worry me

I'm high living like I ain't afraid to die

And you could walk a mile in my shoes and you'd be crazy too

With nothing to lose

Got nothing to lose, got nothing to lose

(That's why I got gang related)

Got nothing to lose, got nothing to lose

(That's why I got gang related)

Nigga, nothing to lose, nothing to lose

(That's why I got gang related)

Nothing to lose

(That's why I got gang related)

Ain't no escape from a deadly fate

And everyday there's a million black bodies put away

I'm starting to lose hope, it seems everybody's on dope

Mama told me to leave 'cause she was broke

Sometimes I choke on the indo, peeping out the window

Alone on my own, I'm a criminal

Got no love from the household I'm out cold

In the streets give me muthafucking peace

I got nothing to lose and something to prove

What do I do live thug life nigga stay true?

I wonder when they kill me is there a Heaven for a real G?

Lord, forgive me if you feel me

'Cause all my life I was dirt broke

With no hope lil skinny muthafucka wanting dough

I hated cutting suckers with my razor blade

But everyday it's a struggle to get major paid

Anyway it's so hard on a nigga in this city

No pity and ain't no love for the scrubs that be buying time

If you could walk a mile in my shoes you'd be crazy too

With nothing to lose

Got nothing to lose, nigga, nothing to lose

(That's why I got gang related)

Got nothing to lose, nigga, nothing to lose

(That's why I got gang related)

That's why I got gang related

(Got nothing to lose)

That's why I got gang related

It was a what type nigga be a thug life nigga

We be the craziest, muthafucka

You know, it was a what type nigga be a thug life nigga

We be the craziest
