Niggas wanna win

These niggas wanna win

These niggas wanna win

Everybody wanna be a mothafuckin' winner

That ain't how it work though, yeah

Ayy, ayy, disproportionate convictions

Especially when it come to our case

You seen the movie, they killed the nigga

Why you wanna be like Scarface?

That's why niggas gon' lose

Oh yeah, I said it, niggas gon' lose

And you can have a friend and you can have a Benz

One's sittin' down, the other's traffickin'

If you get the car then your friend dies

Havin' one keeps the other one from happenin'

I hope a nigga don't lose

Fuck that car, nigga

Niggas gon' lose

And she want love, you only want sex

You got yours, she didn't get hers

She got no respect, y'all had a son

She like, "Fuck you," she only want a check

That lil' nigga gon' lose

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Mothafucka, niggas gon' lose

Yeah and these rap niggas talk about the hood

Like we all lames and they seen it

It's entertain', it's cool as hell

That beat dope, that don't mean shit

That's why niggas gon' lose

Fuck you talkin'? Niggas gon' lose

If they legalize that whole thing

They doin' weed, next cocaine

Niggas ain't gon' have no jobs

And Wall Street gon' run the dope game

What a nigga gon' do? Huh?

You niggas gon' lose

And when you see me you don't see yourself

That's why I got no problem shootin' me

Willie Lynch set the shit up beautifully

One of the reasons niggas ain't got unity

That's why niggas gon' lose

Ayy fuck that shit, ayy, niggas gon' lose, yeah

And most hood niggas is good niggas

In a heartbeat, I'll shed blood for him

But he too stupid, he won't sit down

That nigga too hot, I got love for him

That nigga gon' lose

On my mama, that nigga gon' lose, yeah

And you did it 'cause your daddy did it

But he locked up in there and ain't happy with it

Do the same thing, get the same results

If your brain work then what's the matter with it?

You knew you was gon' lose

They told you, nigga

You was gon' lose

I never met a saint, from no color

From nowhere, from no other

From no castle, from no gutter

It ain't nobody that don't suffer

Some niggas gon' lose

Some niggas gon' lose

Promised land, I don't believe that

Had a dream and I don't need that

Please God, send us some jobs

'Cause my niggas really really need that

Or niggas gon' lose

That's right, niggas gon' lose, yeah

And we sell dope then we turn around

Give the white people all our profits

Take a percentage of that, set it to the side

And send these lil' niggas off to college

So niggas don't lose

Yeah, niggas don't lose

And if they offer somethin', just take it

Then work hard, don't waste it

Every castle started at the basement

Yeah your manager's a racist

But you're the one that's gon' lose

That's right, niggas gon' lose

And these niggas gon' lose, oh

I said, I said everybody wanna be a winner

Everybody wanna be a winner

Be a mothafuckin' winner

Never gotta worry 'bout nothin'

But some niggas gon' lose

Yeah so niggas don't lose

And it's fucked up, some niggas gon' lose

You wake up and you hear shots

Mean another nigga got his tear drops

And you call his phone and ain't pickin' up

And your stomach hurtin', that fear drops

I hope a nigga ain't lose
