Nothing To Lose

[00:00.15] The only way to change me is let me blow my brains out
[00:02.54] Stuck in the middle of the game to get the pain out
[00:04.97] Pray to my God everyday but he don't listen
[00:06.97] The poverty bothers me
[00:08.05] But mama's working wonders in the kitchen
[00:09.56] Listen, I can hear her crying in the bedroom
[00:11.96] Praying for money, we never think would she be dead soon
[00:14.55] Am I wrong for wishing I was somewhere else?
[00:16.76] I'm thirteen, can't feed myself
[00:18.42] Can I blame daddy 'cause he left me
[00:20.59] Wish he would've helped me
[00:21.23] Too much like him 'til my mama don't love me
[00:23.55] On my own at a early age, gettin' paid
[00:26.04] And I'm strapped so I'll never be afraid
[00:27.88] Where did I go astray? I'm hanging in the back streets
[00:30.43] Running with G's and dope fiends, will they jack me?
[00:32.52] Can't turn back, my eyes on the prize
[00:34.64] I got nothing to lose
[00:35.61] Everybody gotta die, say goodbye to the bad guy
[00:38.48] That one you fucked when you passed by
[00:40.27] Buck-buck from a Glock, let the glass fly
[00:42.72] Do or die, walk a mile in my shoes
[00:44.73] And you'd be crazy too, with nothing to lose
[00:46.72] I got raw when I came to Cali
[00:48.21] I got nothing to lose
[00:49.59] That's why I got gang-related rhymes (got nothing to lose)

[01:05.23] I thank the Lord for my many blessings
[01:07.07] Though I'm stressin' keep a vest for protection
[01:08.86] From the barrel of the Smith & Wesson
[01:10.60] And all my niggas in the pen', here we go again
[01:12.53] Ain't nothing separating us from a Mac-10
[01:14.98] Born in the ghetto as a hustler, older
[01:17.58] Straight soldier bucking at them busters
[01:19.36] No matter how you try, niggas never die
[01:21.53] We just retaliate with hate, then we multiply
[01:23.83] See me striking down the block hittin' corners
[01:25.94] Mobbin' like a motherfucker livin' like I wanna
[01:28.37] Ain't no stoppin' at the red lights, I'm sideways
[01:30.85] Thug Life motherfucker crime pays
[01:33.09] Let the cops put they lights on
[01:34.68] Chase me nigga, zig-zaggin' through the freeway
[01:37.13] Race me nigga, in a high speed chase with the law
[01:39.76] The realest motherfucker that you ever saw
[01:41.50] I'm livin' raw 'til they bury me, don't worry me
[01:44.37] I'm high livin' like I ain't afraid to die
[01:48.08] And you could walk a mile in my shoes
[01:49.61] And you'd be crazy too, with nothing to lose

[02:08.68] That's why I got gang-related rhymes
[02:10.23] Ain't no escape from a deadly fate
[02:11.93] And everyday there's a million black bodies put away
[02:14.48] I'm startin' to lose hope
[02:15.66] It seems everybody's on dope
[02:17.32] Mama told me to leave 'cause she was broke
[02:19.07] Sometimes I choke on the indo
[02:21.22] Peepin' out the window alone on my own, I'm a criminal
[02:24.16] Got no love from the household
[02:25.90] I'm out cold in the streets, give me motherfucking peace
[02:28.57] I got nothing to lose, and something to prove
[02:30.53] What do I do livin' Thug Life, nigga stay true
[02:33.06] I wonder when they kill me
[02:34.56] Is there a Heaven for a real G?
[02:36.11] Lord forgive me if you feel me?
[02:38.09] 'Cause all my life I was dirt broke
[02:39.64] With no hope, little skinny motherfucker wantin' dough
[02:42.22] I hated cutting suckers with my razor blade
[02:44.47] But every day it's a struggle to get major paid
[02:46.92] Anyway it's so hard on a nigga in this city
[02:49.33] No pity and ain't no love for the scrubs that be buyin' dimes
