A Lost Cause

Are you in the mafia?, am I in the what
Whatever you want to call it, organized crime
I'm in a waste management business, everybody immediately assumes you're mobbed upped
You can catch me on the six, I get my niggas hope (I give them hope)
Told my nigga just don't worry, we gon' make it home (we gon' make it)
Now we all up in this stricker bitch I'm in my mode

Told that ho' get off my dick, ho, this ain't no Patron
Bitch, take that crown off, nigga, this ain't your throne (you a goofy)
Ain't my loss, that's your loss, now you in you're thoughts (you going crazy)
You gotta listen when I'm sayin' this more than some thoughts (you better listen)

You tryna find it over there, that shit gon' get you lost (I swear to god)
You tryna play me like a goofy, that's a lost cause
In this life, ain't no rewind, ain't no fuckin' pause (haha, sosa)
You gotta stand up from the crowd, or nigga, you gon' drown (plug your nose)

While you cryin', put your chin up, nigga, you is better (you is better, you is better nigga)
You gotta make it in this life, in the rainy weather
Prayin' day and night, nigga, take off that frown
Now we all up in the trenches, tryna make it sound (you better watch it)

But you gotta use your hustle, make it from the ground (swear to god)
How you talkin' like you bout' it?, nigga, make no sound
This life gon' tear you to pieces, better get some glue
Better have your peace of mind, nigga, fuck your crew

You better watch it with them disses, just turn on the news
You better watch what you say, call it blue's clues (better watch it)
Now we got that nigga mama cryin' on the news (I'm sorry momma)
You could've stopped it from the jump, but you ain't listen, fool

I was stayin' at my mama's, tryna get some food (I love you momma, I love you momma)
But I started gettin' paper up in high school
I met this bad lil' bitch, she might be five two
But she started movin' funny, so I lied too

Don't put your trust in these bitches, have your eyes up (better have it)
But if you pull up on some funny shit, they gettin' dumped (I swear to god)
I be damn to let a nigga put me in the dump (put me in the dump)
Better watch it from the start, nigga, this ain't no jump
Bitch, I grew up in the ghetto, you can call it dump

You can catch me on the six, I get my niggas hope (uh huh)
Told my nigga just don't worry, we gon' make it home (we gon make it)
Now we all up in this stricker bitch I'm in my mode
Told that ho' get off my dick, ho, this ain't no Patron

Bitch, take that crown off, nigga, this ain't your throne (you a goofy wo)
Ain't my loss, that's your loss, now you in you're thoughts (I swear to god)
You gotta listen when I'm sayin' this more than some thoughts (you better listen)

You tryna find it over there, that shit gon' get you lost (you gon be lost)
You tryna play me like a goofy, that's a lost cause
In this life, ain't no rewind, ain't no fuckin' pause (you better listen)
You gotta stand up from the crowd, or nigga, you gon' drown (have you're peace)

While you cryin', put your chin up, nigga, you is better (you a gangster)
You gotta make it in this life, in the rainy weather (I swear to god)
Prayin' day and night, nigga, take off that frown
Now we all up in the trenches, tryna make it sound

It's a stereotype and it's offensive, and you're the last person I person I want to perpetuate, fine
