[Intro: Dee-1]
Hey man
Proverb 6, verse 10 and 11 basically say
‘If you don’t work, you don’t eat’
And I got to eat
Straight up
Look
[Hook: Dee-1]
I ain’t never had nothin’
What am I gon’ lose?
I ain’t never had, no
What am I gon’ lose?
I ain’t never had, no
What am I gon’ lose?
I ain’t never had, no
What am I gon’ lose?
Started out with
Zero
Turned that to a
Kilo
And I ain’t talkin’
They know
Ask about me
They know
[Verse 1: Dee-1]
Took a hun’ed dollars, flipped that thing a thousand times
I just made a hun’ed thousand off writing rhymes
This for all my homies lookin’ for some motivation
I ain’t never changed but I’m still stackin' big faces
Big old checks in my mailbox
Bandana cover my dreadlocks
I don’t mind talkin' ‘bout what I make
‘cause I never ever had to sell rocks
This for K.C. and Akron
Tell my little bro what’s happenin’
He said, “You get me motivated
Like Jesus back (?) when I was trappin‘ “
And I started out in them talent shows
Payin’ dues in my talent show
Now they screamin’, ‘We the best’
But I ain’t met Cali, though (?)
You know me, know what I believe
In signs from GOD
Who are Master P and Manny Fresh
And No Limited to the Cash Money
I’m a-see
But I don’t love money
Matter o' fact, I hate money
But when you work hard as this
Is hard not to make money
I don’t care ‘bout being rich
Just want my family straight money
But I’m so old-school
(Still full of[?] 2008 money)
[Hook: Dee-1]
I ain’t never had nothin’
What am I gon’ lose?
I ain’t never had, no
What am I gon’ lose?
I ain’t never had, no
What am I gon’ lose?
I ain’t never had, no
What am I gon’ lose?
Started out with zero
Turned that to a kilo
And I ain’t talkin’
They know
Ask about me
They know
[Verse 2: Dee-1]
Took a hun’ed dollars, flipped that thing a thousand times
I just made a hun’ed thousand off writing rhymes
Used to work at McD’s on a lunch line
Now I get couple Gs for a punchline
What I look like
Tryin' to bite my tongue?
What I look like tryin' to change my style?
What I look like talkin’ ‘bout busting guns
Cock, cock, then aim and POW!!
Fast money or long money
That’s just that trade-off, yo
Done getting’ mixed, ain’t workin’, dawg
Consider yourself layed off, yo
Not Tony Montana
I’m more like Tony Parker
‘cause one of ‘em’s a character and one is a baller
I’m not Pablo Escobar, I’m Pablo Picasso
See my life through my art, they dig me like a fossil
Man, my dreams is colossal and my team is colossal
If you tryin' stop this train, you gon’ see it get hostile
‘cause the movement is movin’
We ain’t fakin’ or frontin’
Plus my city got my back so I ain’t worried ‘bout nothin’
[Hook: Dee-1]
I ain’t never had nothin’
What am I gon’ lose?
I ain’t never had, no
What am I gon’ lose?
I ain’t never had, no
What am I gon’ lose?
I ain’t never had, no
What am I gon’ lose?
