Title: Nothin' to Lose
Album: R U Still Down (Remember Me)
Artist: Tupac Shakur

The only way to change me is maybe blow my brains out
Stuck in the middle of the game to get the pain out
Pray to my God everyday but he don't listen
The poverty bothers me but mama's working wonders in the kitchen
Listen I can hear her crying in the bedroom. Praying for money, we never think. Will she be dead soon?
Am I wrong for wishing I was somewhere else?
I’m 13 can't feed myself
Can I blame daddy 'cause he left me?
Wish he would've hugged me
Too much like him, so my mama don't love me
On my own at a early age.
I’m gettin' paid and I'm strapped so I'll never be afraid
Where did I go astray?
I'm hanging in the back streets running with G's and dope fiends, will they jack me?
Can't turn back, my eyes on the prize
I got nothing to lose, everybody gotta die.
“Say goodbye to the bad guy, that one you fucked when you passed by”
Buck buck from a Glock let the glass fly.
Do or die.Walk a mile in my shoes and you'd be crazy too
With nothing to lose

Chorus

I got nothing to lose
(that's why I got gang related rhymes)
got nothing to lose 5x
nothing to lose

I thank the Lord for my many blessings, though I'm stressin'
Keep a vest for protection from the barrel of the Smith & Wesson
And all my niggas in the pen', here we go again
Ain't nothing seperating us from a mack 10
Born in the ghetto as a hustla. Older. Straight soldier. Bucking at them bustas
No matter how you try niggas never die
We just retaliate with hate then we multiply
See me striking down the block hittin' co'ners
Mobbin' like a muthafucka livin' like I wanna
Ain't no stoppin' at the red lights. I'm sideways, Thug Life muthafucka crime pays
Let the cops put they lights on, chase me nigga
Zig-zaggin' through the freeway, race me nigga
In a high speed chase with the law
The realest muthafucka that you ever saw
I'm livin' raw 'til they bury me don't worry me
I'm high livin' like I ain't afraid to die
And you could walk a mile in my shoes
and you'd be crazy too

Chorus

Ain't no escape from a deadly fate
and everyday there's a million black bodies put away
I'm startin' to lose hope
it seems everybody's on dope
Mama told me to leave 'cause she was broke
Sometimes I choke on the indo, peepin' out the window
alone on my own, I'm a criminal
Got no love from the household I'm out cold
in the streets give me muthafucking peace
I got nothing to lose
and something to prove
What do I do? Live the Thug Life nigga, stay true
I wonder when they kill me, is there a Heaven for a real G?
Lord forgive me if you feel me
'Cause all my life I was dirt brokem with no hope
Li'l skinny muthafucka wantin' dough
I hated cutting suckers with my razor blade
but everyday it's a struggle to get major pay
Anyway it's so hard on a nigga in this city
no pity and ain't no love for the scrubs that be buyin' time
If you could walk a mile in my shoes you'd be crazy too
with nothing to lose

It was a what type nigga, be a Thug Life nigga
We be the craziest, muthafucka!
You know!
It was a what type nigga, be a Thug Life nigga
We be the craziest!
