Hopeless

Ooooh you feel that as I take you to them dirt roads

Deep in your southern roots.

When nobody said life was going to be easy

And we travel through this emotional rollercoaster called life,

and we have our ups and downs.

Just keep in mind when you hit rock bottom,

There aint no where to go but up baby.

It's just all you about how you deal wit it you feel me..

Listen here

(Chorus 2x)

When life seems hopeless

It make a nigga lose focus

Empty beer bottles and roaches

Helps to get it off my chest

Cause Im so stressed

And all I here is "fuck da world"

(Verse 1 Ludacris)

Man ever since life's been a gamble

My life been in shambles

Double edge sword burnin both sides of the candle

But Cris you cant handle the truth

Dont wanna face reailty

So Lord accept my apology

Please like when police say freeze

And I aint do shit

But Im down on my knees

Its a crooked system but gin straight take the pain away

I charge the game

And put my problems on layaway

A black man but I feel so blue

So I smoke green and purple til my dreams come true

Then my eyes turn red

Sky turns grey

Children slangin white in the hood

We call it yaah

Drink old gold

Down my yellow brick road

Then rewrite my script until my story's untold

See I got a little money and my life sped up

Now Im fallin and I cant get up

(Chorus 2x)

When life seems hopeless

Make a nigga lose focus

Empty beer bottles and roaches

Helps to get it off my chest

Cause Im so stressed

And all I hear is "fuck da world"

(Verse 2 Trick Daddy)

I had this dream about a dope fiene

And it's strange cause he can barly write or read

But seemed to get folks about anything

Curious about him I wanted to talk to him

But he was to busy for that

But I was more then welcome to walk with him

As we walked, he talked and I just listen

He said there's a big differnce between crackas and niggas

See he said white folks look out for the white folks

But uh black folks blame otha black folks

When they aint enough black roaks

But yo to make a long story short

We need pay more attenion and do things

That's way more convinvcing and he told me

You know I woulldn't say something that wouldn't work and I

Damn sure wouldn't waste my time telling something thata hurt you

But you would fall for anything if you don't stand for something

But that's for certain but niggas don't be listenin

And that shit be hurting. And uh

Not all of us, but some of us

and if we dont hurry up

they going to bury each and every one of us

(Chorus 2x)

When life seems hopeless

Makes a nigga lose focus

Empty beer bottles and roaches

Helps get off my chest

Cause im so stressed

And all I hear is "fuck da world"

(Verse 3 Ludacris)

Sometimes I can't deal with my daily issues just being sober

Life's a bitch and I can't control her

I wish I could and sometimes to cry on we need a shoulder

The government stand us up to run us over

And in the hood they dont seem to understand

God damn

What its really got me wondering if it's a part of a bigger plan

Man I smell some thing fishy going on

And its way beyond blowin away the smoke from all these swishers goin on It aint much I can do about it but preach the word

Tell my people to spend ya money wisely

Don't be obsured by some things that's appreciated (Like what)

Like a home to open ya eyes to whats the fuck's goings on

Cause they constantly getting rid of us

One by one whether its drugs or diesase or gun by gun

I aint no saint either I feel that Im even doing wrong

By using what's in this chorus to get through this song

(Chorus 2x)

When life seems hopeless

Makes a nigga lose focus

Empty beer bottles and roaches

Helps get off my chest

Cause im so stressed

And all I hear is "fuck da world"

(Trick Daddy talking)

You kno ya'll going to mess around and keep on complaining bout slavery.

That was over 40 50 years ago. Black folks need to move on. Stay strong. Ya'll keep playin with a cracker they going to have yo ass tied up, wired up on them back roads of South Florida Georgia. And they made them laws, so they can't do nothing for you. Can a church get an amen? And God for the thugs too Amen.
