Hopeless

And we have our ups and downs
But I was more then welcome to walk with him
Sometimes I can't deal with my daily issues just being sober
So as we walked, he talked and I just listen

Curious about him I wanted to talk to him

Empty beer bottles and roaches

Tell my people to spend ya money wisely
Then rewrite my script until my story's untold

And put my problems on lay away
Please like when police say freeze
Helps to get it off my chest, 'cause I'm so stressed
Helps to get it off my chest, 'cause I'm so stressed
Helps to get it off my chest, 'cause I'm so stressed

Don't wanna face reality
Man ever since life's been a gamble
There ain't nowhere to go but up baby
Listen here
When life seems hopeless, it make a nigga lose focus
Empty beer bottles and roaches
Ya'll keep playin' with a cracker, they going to have yo ass tied up
Empty beer bottles and roaches
A black man but I feel so blue
'Cause they constantly getting rid of us
You know I wouldn't say something that wouldn't work and I
Empty beer bottles and roaches

I had this dream about a dope fiene
But uh black folks blame otha black folks
That was over 40-50 years ago black folks need to move on stay strong
See I got a little money and my life sped up
That's way more convincing and he told me
We need pay more attention and do things
And all I here is "Fuck da world"
One by one whether it's drugs or disease or gun by gun
Life's a bitch and I can't control her
I wish I could and sometimes to cry on we need a shoulder

Drink old gold, down my yellow brick road

Children slangin' white in the hood, we call it yeah
From all these swishers goin' on
Empty beer bottles and roaches
Wired up on them back roads of South Florida Georgia
Damn sure wouldn't waste my time telling something that a hurt you
When they ain't enough black roaks
When nobody said life was going to be easy
Empty beer bottles and roaches

When life seems hopeless, it make a nigga lose focus
It's a crooked system but gin straight take the pain away

Helps to get it off my chest, 'cause I'm so stressed
Man I smell something fishy going on
But you would fall for anything if you don't stand for something
And all I here is "Fuck da world"
And they made them laws, so they can't do nothing for you
But yo to make a long story short
And we travel through this emotional roller coaster called life
By using what's in this chorus to get through this song
The government stand us up to run us over

And all I here is "Fuck da world"
But seemed to get folks about anything

So Lord accept my apology
And its way beyond blowin' away the smoke

When life seems hopeless, it make a nigga lose focus
Then my eyes turn red, the sky turns gray
And I ain't do shit
Double edge sword burnin' both sides of the candle
Helps to get it off my chest, 'cause I'm so stressed
When life seems hopeless, it make a nigga lose focus

Like a home to open ya eyes to what's the fuck's goings on
Empty beer bottles and roaches
But that's for certain but niggas don't be listenin'
But he was to busy for that
And in the hood they don't seem to understand, goddamn
See he said, "White folks look out for the white folks"
And all I here is "Fuck da world"
But Cris you can't handle the truth
So I smoke green and purple 'til my dreams come true
It's just all you about how you deal wit it you feel me
What it's really got me wondering if it's a part of a bigger plan

Helps to get it off my chest, 'cause I'm so stressed
You kno' ya'll going to mess around and keep on complaining bout slavery
Helps to get it off my chest, 'cause I'm so stressed
Empty beer bottles and roaches
When life seems hopeless, it make a nigga lose focus
My life been in shambles
When life seems hopeless, it make a nigga lose focus
Just keep in mind when you hit rock bottom
And all I here is "Fuck da world"
When life seems hopeless, it make a nigga lose focus

And all I here is "Fuck da world"
I charge the game
And if we don't hurry up

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

Helps to get it off my chest, 'cause I'm so stressed
Don't be obscured by some things that's appreciated
Now I'm fallin' and I can't get up
It ain't much I can do about it but preach the word
They going to bury each and every one of us
I ain't no saint either I feel that I'm even doing wrong
When life seems hopeless, it make a nigga lose focus

And that shit be hurting and uh

Not all of us, but some of us

But I'm down on my knees
And all I here is "Fuck da world"
He said, "There's a big difference between crackas and niggas"
And all I here is "Fuck da world"
