[Verse 1]



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 gettin' 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 [gunshots] from a Glock

tempured glass fly

Do or Die walk a mile in my shoes

and you'd be crazy too

with nothing to lose



[Chorus]



I got nothing to lose

(that's why I got gang related)

got nothing to lose [5x]

nothing to lose



[Verse 2]



I thank the Lord for my many blessings

though I'm stressin' keep a vest for protection

from the barrel of the Smith
