Nothing 2 Lose

Dear Lord, I ask for the strength to change what I can change

And the strength to accept the things that must remain

Have you ever seen them curtains closing on you

Have you ever seen that light inside the tunnel

And have you ever watched the nightmares rewinding

And when your heart stops, the clock keeps on ticking

When you gon' put your mask away

All this *****t like a masquerade

Them young boys say **** your accolades

Bulletholes all through your resumé

I don't understand why it be this way

I don't wanna live just to pass away

They said that bull*****t here to stay

Then **** this place if that's the case

Never gave a **** about the baddest *****

Never gave a **** about the fastest whip

And do I really care about a money bag

If that *****t can't bring the family back

Too much hate in my habitat

You don't even know who you blasting at

If he gon' shoot then you gon' pop

We all got goons so it never stop

See the faces all around me getting colder than my blood

Keep your circle down pat 'cause they might stab you in your front

Now my heart is going broke and I done gave up all my trust

I got nothing left to lose and I done ran up all my luck

So Tell the devil come and get me 'cause I'm dying anyway

Tell me Lord would you forgive me if I shoot him in his face

I would never let you down I put that on my future grave

Yeah I'm closing out this chapter, right my wrongs and turn the page

You could live how you wanna but you always gonna pay

Keep my chin above the water and I pray it do not rain

And this game you never winning if you try and play it safe

Only way you'll change my mind is maybe bullets to my brain

Yeah they took your big homie, put two shots in to his lungs

So you go and load that chopper, load them *****es up with slugs

Even if them cowards rotting in a jail you light em up

Break in to that prison cell and make sure that the job is done

Can you feel the pain in my body

See the flame in my eyes

Hit 'em up like bye-bye

Tell the devil I said hi

But that ain't what God want

And that ain't what I want

I could never take your life

Just for me to go waste mine

That ain't what my homie want

'Cause either way my homie gone

I could make that chopper spark

But I can't turn back the clock

It's gon' take more than church for me to let it go

I hope that God got the *****t that I can't control

I know that hope is the answer but that hope is broke

Because that hope never seem to make your pockets grow

And I said God could you let me be your second favorite son

Hey I told my momma hold on, say a prayer for me once

Tell the devil come and get me 'cause I'm dying anyway

Tell me Lord would you forgive me if I shoot him in his face

I would never let you down I put that on my future grave

Yeah I'm closing out this chapter, right my wrongs and turn the page

You could live how you wanna but you always gonna pay

Keep my chin above the water and I pray it do not rain

And this game you never winning if you try and play it safe

Only way you'll change my mind is maybe bullets to my brain

Have you ever seen your reflection leave you

And your shadow leave on the darkest evening

Have you ever seen your own family doubt you

Have you ever heard them demons talk about you

Have you ever seen them curtains closing on you

Have you ever seen that light inside the tunnel

And have you ever watched the nightmares rewinding

And when your heart stops, the clock keeps on ticking
