เนื้อเพลง NGL - Lupe Fiasco

N*ggas wanna win
These n*ggas wanna win
These n*ggas wanna win
Everybody wanna be a mothaf*ckin' winner
That ain't how it work though, yeah

Ayy, ayy, disproportionate convictions
Especially when it come to our case (our case)
You seen the movie, they killed the n*gga
Why you wanna be like Scarface?
That's why n*ggas gon' lose
Oh yeah, I said it, n*ggas gon' lose
And you can have a friend and you can have a Benz
One's sittin' down, the other's traffickin'
If you get the car then your friend dies
Havin' one keeps the other one from happenin'
I hope a n*gga don't lose
F*ck that car, n*gga
N*ggas gon' lose

And she want love, you only want sex
You got yours, she didn't get hers
She got no respect, y'all had a son
She like, "F*ck you," she only want a check
That lil' n*gga gon' lose
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Mothaf*cka, n*ggas gon' lose
Yeah and these rap n*ggas talk about the hood
Like we all lames and they seen it
It's entertain', it's cool as hell
That beat dope, that don't mean sh*t
That's why n*ggas gon' lose
F*ck you talkin'? N*ggas gon' lose
If they legalize that whole thing
They doin' weed, next c*caine
N*ggas ain't gon' have no jobs
And Wall Street gon' run the dope game
What a n*gga gon' do? Huh?
You n*ggas gon' lose

And when you see me you don't see yourself
That's why I got no problem shootin' me
Willie Lynch set the sh*t up beautifully
One of the reasons n*ggas ain't got unity
That's why n*ggas gon' lose
Ayy f*ck that sh*t, ayy, n*ggas gon' lose, yeah
And most hood n*ggas is good n*ggas
In a heartbeat, I'll shed blood for him
But he too stupid, he won't sit down
That n*gga too hot, I got love for him
That n*gga gon' lose
On my mama, that n*gga gon' lose, yeah
And you did it 'cause your daddy did it
But he locked up in there and ain't happy with it
Do the same thing, get the same results
If your brain work then what's the matter with it?
You knew you was gon' lose
They told you, n*gga
You was gon' lose

I never met a saint, from no color
From nowhere, from no other
From no castle, from no gutter
It ain't nobody that don't suffer
Some n*ggas gon' lose
Some n*ggas gon' lose
Promised land, I don't believe that
Had a dream and I don't need that
Please God, send us some jobs
'Cause my n*ggas really really need that
Or n*ggas gon' lose
That's right, n*ggas gon' lose, yeah
And we sell dope then we turn around
Give the white people all our profits
Take a percentage of that, set it to the side
And send these lil' n*ggas off to college
So n*ggas don't lose
Yeah, n*ggas don't lose
And if they offer somethin', just take it
Then work hard, don't waste it
Every castle started at the basement
Yeah your manager's a racist
But you're the one that's gon' lose
That's right, n*ggas gon' lose

And these n*ggas gon' lose, oh
I said, I said everybody wanna be a winner
Everybody wanna be a winner
Be a mothaf*ckin' winner
Never gotta worry 'bout nothin'
But some n*ggas gon' lose
Yeah so n*ggas don't lose
And it's f*cked up, some n*ggas gon' lose
You wake up and you hear shots
Mean another n*gga got his tear drops
And you call his phone and ain't pickin' up
And your stomach hurtin', that fear drops
I hope a n*gga ain't lose
