| [** feat. T.I.:] | |
| [Chorus: ~B.O.B~] | |
| Just because I'm losing doesn't mean I'm lost* | |
| They gave me nothing but doubt | |
| First they waited then hated then counted me out | |
| Just because I'm losing doesn't mean I'm stuck | |
| They say I lost my way | |
| But first I showed em then I sold em right in front of their face | |
| [Verse 1: ~B.O.B~] | |
| Well this is the World that we living | |
| One minute you the hero the next you the villain | |
| We got up in this game just to try to make a living | |
| We hit you with the truth while you watching television | |
| But still these are the cards that we dealt | |
| They kick you on the ground when you most need help | |
| Until you dried up and they sit you on the shelf | |
| Then you start to cry because you all by yourself | |
| So just know if you are aware of the belt | |
| The only way to excel is the soul that you sell | |
| So I could care less about the clothes on myself | |
| I'm trying to drive straight on a road made of nails | |
| Yeah, I got to pay the toll if I fell | |
| Or else it would be another story to tell | |
| I'm getting to the door I can tell | |
| I'm just waiting on the day till the glory prevails | |
| [Repeat Chorus:] | |
| [Verse 2: ~T.I.~] | |
| All I know is keep going, sh-t don't stop | |
| Until the huss double up put the click on top | |
| Used to wanna have the bricks on lock | |
| Til we went to prison saw we couldn't pick them locks | |
| Easy decision now a n-gga think I lost my touch | |
| Listen if I ain't the realest ever done it I ain't off by much | |
| So please don't wake me up if I'm dreaming in the fast lane speedin' no safety belt | |
| And it's a marathon pace yourself | |
| In this race for wealth talkin' sh-t just a waste of breath | |
| Chasing me like chasing your tail your never gon catch it | |
| Respect is something you never get if you never had it | |
| I'm looking back and laughing this life of mine | |
| Bought me all the way here form my life of crime | |
| Just a constant reminder that the end I'll be always the one who knows all see's all | |
| Because... | |
| [Repeat Chorus:] | |
| [Verse 3: ~B.o.B~] | |
| Yeah, well these are my predictions | |
| I'll be on the top 40 with a big hit | |
| Travelling the World trying not to get sick | |
| And I'm a get more friends on my friends on my friends list | |
| And then after that I'll be famous | |
| And everyone I know will tell me that I'm changing | |
| And then my cell phone will never stop ringing | |
| And I'll be all over magazine pages | |
| Yeah and they'll play my songs till they boring | |
| And if I ever do stop touring they treat me like a foreigner | |
| Don't believe me ask Lauren... | |
| [Repeat Chorus:] |
