Taking Losses Lyrics

Took some losses, shit's hard

When everyone seems to succeed but you got nothing to bargain

Now I'm starting from nothing

Because of narcotics consumption

Lost bunches of friends and it's been years since I talked to my cousins

Smoked blunts with the druggies

Hallucinated off the pot I been puffin

Tried talking to God but God didn't bother

Got my apartment plundered

Laptop including all the new songs people robbed it

Grand larceny charges

But no results from insurance

Things ain't going right

Bad days, sad nights

I used to have dreams too damn right

Tried to forget my mistakes

But there comes a point when every man breaks

So many bad days, sad nights

I used to have dreams too damn right

But so many things have gone wrong

I've been sick of this shit for so long

I've been taking so many losses in this life

Got lost in the drugs to feel alive

Stolen music had me deep in my feelings

Before that I hung out with people that's seedy

Gave a place to sleep to the needy

Cause I know how it feels to be cast out by society

Made some fake friends who stepped out, said goodbye to me

Soon as shit hit the fan they were gone, this is straight out my diary

Even some Christians turned their back soon as that occurred

Sometimes music is the only things that can catapult us into a better world

This world is getting cold

I believe there's a place in heaven where we move on paths of gold

Where we're never old

Where we can be cool forever yo

Please Lord help me pay all my bills

Help me find time to lay and just chill

I should really talk to the alcis in my neighborhood

But sometimes I rather take a good

Sip of that bottle with them or I wait and look

We're tempted to flee

From heaven's ideas

Pain and stress has us shedding some tears

I've been thru it as well, I know what its like even if you never tell me

Things ain't going right

Bad days, sad nights

I used to have dreams too damn right

Tried to forget my mistakes

But there comes a point when every man breaks

So many bad days, sad nights

I used to have dreams too damn right

But so many things have gone wrong

I've been sick of this shit for so long

I've been taking so many losses in this life

Got lost in the drugs to feel alive

Glad they came with a vaccine, I used to wash everything that I bought

Got tired of beer cans tastin more like soap

In the last two years so many folks stood

Alone, isolation turned me even more into a lone wolf

I could probably delete half the contacts in my phone book

Had to find myself, but lost my mind in the process

Negative influences, a toxic routine, like a grimy old faucet

Had puppet strings all around me

The devil fooled me, the weed changed me, the people clowned me

I got manipulated so much I started to like it

Capitalism said I needed nice things so I started to buy shit

It's not just the Hip Hop culture

That's a reflection of what's in our culture

We need good friends that point out when things ain't goin right

Instead of yes-men that only show up to be smokin dro at night

The Bible says fight temptation, I lost most my fights

A book that says everything we do is wrong can't always be right

More than once I was willing to forfeit my life

To be closer to Christ

But for some reason I'm still breathin

And I wanna make the best out of this here before I'm leavin

Things ain't going right

Bad days, sad nights

I used to have dreams too damn right

Tried to forget my mistakes

But there comes a point when every man breaks

So many bad days, sad nights

I used to have dreams too damn right

But so many things have gone wrong

I've been sick of this shit for so long

I've been taking so many losses in this life

Got lost in the drugs to feel alive

Things ain't going right

Bad days, sad nights

Things ain't going right

Bad days, sad nights

Things ain't going right

Bad days, sad nights

Bad days, sad nights

So many things have gone wrong

I've been sick of this shit for so long

Things ain't going right

Things ain't going right

Things ain't going right

Taking so many losses in this life

Things ain't going right

Things ain't going right

They just ain't going right

They just ain't going right
