Hopeless - Ludacris[00:00:00]
Ooooh you feel that as I take you to them dirt roads[00:00:02]
Deep in your southern roots [00:00:07]
When nobody said life was going to be easy[00:00:10]
And we travel through this emotional rollercoaster called life [00:00:12]
And we have our ups and downs [00:00:15]
Just keep in mind when you hit rock bottom [00:00:17]
There ain't no where to go but up baby [00:00:19]
It's just all you about how you deal wit it you feel me[00:00:21]
Listen here[00:00:24]
When life seems hopeless[00:00:25]
It make a nigga lose focus[00:00:27]
Empty beer bottles and roaches[00:00:29]
Helps to get it off my chest[00:00:32]
Cause I'm so stressed[00:00:34]
And all I here is "f**k da world"[00:00:35]
When life seems hopeless it make a nigga lose focus[00:00:38]
Empty beer bottles and roaches[00:00:42]
Helps to get it off my chest 'cause I'm so stressed[00:00:44]
And all I here is "F**k da world"[00:00:47]
Man ever since life's been a gamble[00:00:50]
My life been in shambles[00:00:52]
Double edge sword burnin' both sides of the candle[00:00:54]
But Cris you can't handle the truth[00:00:57]
Don't wanna face reality[00:00:59]
So Lord accept my apology[00:01:00]
Please like when police say freeze[00:01:03]
And I ain't do shit[00:01:06]
But I'm down on my knees[00:01:07]
It's a crooked system but gin straight take the pain away[00:01:09]
I charge the game[00:01:12]
And put my problems on lay away[00:01:13]
A black man but I feel so blue[00:01:15]
So I smoke green and purple 'til my dreams come true[00:01:18]
Then my eyes turn red the sky turns gray[00:01:21]
Children slangin' white in the hood we call it yeah[00:01:24]
Drink old gold down my yellow brick road[00:01:27]
Then rewrite my script until my story's untold[00:01:30]
See I got a little money and my life sped up[00:01:33]
Now I'm fallin' and I can't get up[00:01:36]
When life seems hopeless it make a nigga lose focus[00:01:38]
Empty beer bottles and roaches[00:01:42]
Helps to get it off my chest 'cause I'm so stressed[00:01:45]
And all I here is "F**k da world"[00:01:48]
When life seems hopeless it make a nigga lose focus[00:01:50]
Empty beer bottles and roaches[00:01:54]
Helps to get it off my chest 'cause I'm so stressed[00:01:57]
And all I here is "F**k da world"[00:02:00]
I had this dream about a dope fiene[00:02:03]
And It's strange cause he can barely write or read[00:02:05]
But seemed to get folks about anything[00:02:07]
Curious about him I wanted to talk to him[00:02:10]
But he was to busy for that[00:02:12]
But I was more then welcome to walk with him[00:02:13]
So as we walked he talked and I just listen[00:02:16]
He said "There's a big difference between crackas and niggas"[00:02:18]
See he said "White folks look out for the white folks"[00:02:22]
But uh black folks blame otha black folks[00:02:24]
When they ain't enough black roaks[00:02:26]
But yo to make a long story short[00:02:28]
We need pay more attention and do things[00:02:30]
That's way more convincing and he told me[00:02:32]
You know I wouldn't say something that wouldn't work and I[00:02:34]
Damn sure wouldn't waste my time telling something that a hurt you[00:02:37]
But you would fall for anything if you don't stand for something[00:02:40]
But that's for certain but niggas don't be listenin'[00:02:42]
And that shit be hurting and uh[00:02:44]
Not all of us but some of us[00:02:46]
And if we don't hurry up[00:02:48]
They going to bury each and every one of us[00:02:49]
When life seems hopeless it make a nigga lose focus[00:02:51]
Empty beer bottles and roaches[00:02:55]
Helps to get it off my chest 'cause I'm so stressed[00:02:58]
And all I here is "F**k da world"[00:03:01]
When life seems hopeless it make a nigga lose focus[00:03:03]
Empty beer bottles and roaches[00:03:07]
Helps to get it off my chest 'cause I'm so stressed[00:03:10]
And all I here is "F**k da world"[00:03:13]
Sometimes I can't deal with my daily issues just being sober[00:03:15]
Life's a bitch and I can't control her[00:03:19]
I wish I could and sometimes to cry on we need a shoulder[00:03:22]
The government stand us up to run us over[00:03:25]
And in the hood they don't seem to understand goddamn[00:03:28]
What It's really got me wondering if It's a part of a bigger plan[00:03:31]
Man I smell something fishy going on[00:03:34]
And It's way beyond blowin' away the smoke[00:03:36]
From all these swishers goin' on[00:03:38]
It ain't much I can do about it but preach the word[00:03:40]
Tell my people to spend ya money wisely[00:03:43]
Don't be obscured by some things that's appreciated[00:03:45]
Like a home to open ya eyes to what's the f**k's goings on[00:03:49]
'Cause they constantly getting rid of us[00:03:52]
One by one whether It's drugs or disease or gun by gun[00:03:55]
I ain't no saint either I feel that I'm even doing wrong[00:03:58]
By using what's in this chorus to get through this song[00:04:01]
When life seems hopeless it make a nigga lose focus[00:04:04]
Empty beer bottles and roaches[00:04:08]
Helps to get it off my chest 'cause I'm so stressed[00:04:10]
And all I here is "F**k da world"[00:04:14]
When life seems hopeless it make a nigga lose focus[00:04:16]
Empty beer bottles and roaches[00:04:20]
Helps to get it off my chest 'cause I'm so stressed[00:04:23]
And all I here is "F**k da world"[00:04:26]
You kno' ya'll going to mess around and keep on complaining bout slavery[00:04:29]
That was over 40-50 years ago black folks need to move on stay strong[00:04:35]
Ya'll keep playin' with a cracker they going to have yo ass tied up[00:04:42]
Wired up on them back roads of South Florida Georgia[00:04:46]
And they made them laws so they can't do nothing for you[00:04:51]
Can a church get an Amen And God for the thugs too Amen[00:04:55]
