Niggas wanna win

These niggas wanna win

These niggas wanna win

Everybody wanna be a mothaf**kin' 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 ni**a

Why you still wanna be like Scarface

That's why niggas gon' lose yeah ohh yeah

I said it niggas gon' lose yeah ohhh

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 ni**a don't lose

F**k that car ni**a niggas gon' lose uh huh yea yeah

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 f**k you she only want a check

That lil' ni**a gon' lose yeah yeah yeah

Mothaf**ka niggas gon' lose ohhh

Yeah and these rap niggas talk about the hood

Like we all lames and they seen it

It's entertaining it's cool as hell

That beat d**e that don't mean sh*t

That's why niggas gon' lose

F**k you talkin' niggas gon' lose yeah

If they legalize that whole thing

Niggas ain't gon' have no jobs

And Wall Street gon' run the d**e game

What a ni**a gon' do huh

You niggas gon' lose whoa

And when you see me you don't see yourself

That's why I got no problem shootin' me

Willie Lynch set the sh*t up beautifully

One of the reasons niggas ain't got unity

That's why niggas gon' lose

Ayy f**k that sh*t 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 ni**a too hot I got love for him

That ni**a gon' lose

On my mama that ni**a 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 ni**a you was gon' lose yeah yeah yeah

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 ooohhh

Yeah yeah yeah

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 d**e 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 uhh yeah

And if they offer somethin' just take it

Then work hard don't waste it

Every castle started at the basement

Yeah your manager a racist

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

That's right niggas gon' lose

And these niggas gon' lose ohhh

I said I said everybody wanna be a winner

Everybody wanna be a winner

Be a mothaf**kin' winner

Never gotta worry 'bout nothin'

But some niggas gon' lose

Yeah so niggas don't lose

Ayy you wake up and you hear shots

Mean another ni**a got his tear drops

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

And your stomach hurtin' that fear drops

I hope a ni**a ain't lose
