歌曲歌詞
Oh so there's still hope
I don't want hope hope is killing me
My dream is to become hopeless
When you're hopeless you don't care
And when you don't care that indifference it makes you attractive
A ni**a feelin' hopeless
Who am I to change perception
If a ni**a kill a ni**a he's another statistic
If his skin's a little different they gon' say it was self defense
Ni**a feelin' hopeless
Starin' at the idiom box riddle me this
If a killer was a ni**a would niggas still really care
Cause niggas worser than Zimmerman livin' life everywhere
Niggas hopeless
Small niggas with big tools
Couldn't get to Harvard hard work he hard whipped
Cause them hardy hah's and hard nights
Are hard to live through
When you hopeless
What we gotta do to be winnin'
Cause all the schools gettin' closed
Dribble a little coach shootin' at a foe
Cause they chargin' them to hoop at community center
My ni**a hopeless
25 bands he was shootin' not a damn givin'
Cousin threw a couple grand at some dancers
Throwin' back their fat a** is my glasses confused
We're the hopeless
America's dream and nightmare in the same being
Even when being polite here
Niggas try to bring me down the life of a pioneer
Lightyears worth of hopeless
Celebrities celebratin' disgust me
The cerebellum invaded with all these fresh things on
Watchin' Love and Hip Hop Atlanta as we speak
Ni**a we hopeless
Okay the Steebie show is on
And so my broad rollin' w**d now she's mad at me
Cause she seen a scene with Rasheeda baby father
Said You niggas all hopeless
Got a pocket full of lint again but it make no difference to me
Fallin' out with my friends again but it make no difference to me
Goddamn I'm hopeless
Oh man I'm hopeless
Got no gas in my tank again but it make no difference to me
Overdraft at the bank again but it make no difference to me
Goddamn I'm hopeless
Lord knows I'm hopeless
Still I pray
Ni**a feelin' hopeless
Like a Penny with a hole in it
We as empty as a corazon of a widow
From a soul that she don't know when he's comin' home
He don't got no limit hopeless
What's a purple heart to a hurt head
He done done 12 years he was told 6
Prolly go back in a minute ain't sh*t here
Ni**a so hopeless
Thoughts are ravaging in the whole crib
Now he post-traumatic and always on the edge
On the pills some bills two kids one leg
Ni**a so hopeless
A lot of black cops always clap back
And some foul white cops always on deck
Playin' race card guarantee you'll make a blackjack
Ni**a so hopeless
Cause we ain't 'posed to ever have sh*t
And we ain't vocal as rap
Niggas cause we don't mope unless we trap hits
Ni**a hopeless
Look at what I go through to show you
Niggas respect money money respect power
And power we never given unless
A ni**a catch shoot or dribble
We are hopeless
Nah you ain't out here for the culture
You finna riot without a purpose
You ain't a mothaf**kin' rider you a f**kin' token posin'
Ni**a hopeless
Of course not literal
But why complain about the man
When a ni**a with my skin
The same problems with them I had
Is out there killin' niggas too
Eat your food ni**a
Got a pocket full of lint again but it make no difference to me
Fallin' out with my friends again but it make no difference to me
Goddamn I'm hopeless
Oh man I'm hopeless
Got no gas in my tank again but it make no difference to me
Overdraft at the bank again but it make no difference to me
Goddamn I'm hopeless
Lord knows I'm hopeless
Still I pray
