Never Lost (feat. T.I.)

Just because I'm losing

Doesn't mean I'm lost

They gave me nothing but doubt

First they waited then they hated then they counted me out

And just because I'm losing

Doesn't mean I'll stop

They say I lost my way

But first I showed them then I sold them right in front of their face

Well this is the world that we live in

One minute you the hero, the next you the villain

We got up in this game just to try to make a living

And hit you with the truth while you watching television

But still these are the cards that we're dealt

They kick you on the ground when you most need help

Until you're dried up and they sit you on the shelf

And then you start to cry cause you're all by yourself

So just know if you wanna wear 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 tryna drive straight on a road made of nails

Yeah I gotta pay the toll if I fell or else it'll be another story to tell

I'm getting to the door I can tell

I'm just waiting on the day to the glory prevails

Just because I'm losing

Doesn't mean I'm lost

They gave me nothing but doubt

First they waited then they hated then they counted me out

And just because I'm losing

Doesn't mean I'll stop

They say I lost my way

But first I showed them then I sold them right in front of their face

All I know is keep going, shit 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 nigga 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' shit just a waste of breath

Chasing me like chasing your tail you'll never catch it

Respect is something you never get if you never had it

I'm looking back and laughing this life of mine

Brought me all way here from a life of crime

Just a constant reminder that the end all, be all is the one who knows all, sees all

Because...

Just because I'm losing

Doesn't mean I'm lost

They gave me nothing but doubt

First they waited then they hated then they counted me out

And just because I'm losing

Doesn't mean I'll stop

They say I lost my way

But first I showed them then I sold them right in front of their face

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 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'll treat me like a foreigner

Don't believe me ask Lauren...

Just because I'm losing

Doesn't mean I'm lost

They gave me nothing but doubt

First they waited then they hated then they counted me out

And just because I'm losing

Doesn't mean I'll stop

They say I lost my way
