Whatever you think I think about what's been going on
Let's talk about

Whatever you think I think about what's been going on
Let's talk about
You and your problems and all that it seems to do
When you spend the night
You and your problems no matter what I say, I can't get it right
Don't think about
Losing out
Other words is losing out
Other ones, losing out
Other words is losing out
Other ones, losing out
Other words is losing out
Yeah, let's talk about who's the most underestimated plus
Underrated city in this hip hop game
Let's talk about I don't know if these industry mofo's overlook us
Cause they might be afraid
They don't know if we get the spot like that
You might not get your spotlight back
For a couple dec-ades
Let's talk about Auburn
A burn
Now it's Dave Twaz turn
Like Berry Gordy came back
Don't think about comparing us to another metropolitan area
Or anywhere on this globe
Let's talk about us breaking barriers spittin' sick as malaria
Spittin, you not even spittin' a cold
Let's talk about how they make the masses
Attracted to the wack like a magnet, it's a sad mission
Just talkin' bout how I mastered these massive lyrics of ass
Like you in a class with a mathematician
Just think about losing out
Naw, you're not losing yet. We beat up beats like this all the time
You got a few minutes of abuse. My nigga Royce where you at?

If you from the "D" and you don't fuck with Hex

Let's talk about the Metropolitan area
Venereal spitter, still Proof burial bitter
Poof
Talk about me, I'mma be on yo ass
Trouble sells, I will take I to the double L
Not think about tusslin' wit' a head buster
Who got mo' muscle than Cool J, double L, hah

Take off your whole top like BAP
Another body what the hell
Let's talk about makin nigga's hard earned money
Or us puttin money on heads like I'm payin' their barbers

Hangover, Range Rover

Nigga I ain't never losing out
Losing out (Naw)

Just to talk about whenever I'm spittin' the verse
Feels like my words is splittin' the Earth in two
Got 'em talkin' 'bout, "Who's
That rap dude that master soul clap move
When messin' with the boom bap BOOM

When the crack moves in the street
Niggas pull heat longer than Shaq's shoes

Phone calls could lead to a red shirt
Ringin' out
Gun shots Tec's blllert

The window bringin' my inner demon out
Talkin' bout how we got it mastered
The fact that
Whenever me and Black, do a track, it's a classic
Talkin' 'bout my life nigga
No sound realer rider with the four pound
Thriller like Mike, out
Losing out

The song ‘Losing Out’ by Black Milk, featuring Royce da 5'9, deals with several issues that confront hip-hop artists, specifically those of the Detroit scene. The first verse of the song addresses the tendency of people to talk about their problems frequently to the point of exhaustion. This problem, as mentioned in the song, seems to be a common occurrence with individuals losing out on opportunities due to their focus on their issues. The chorus of the song emphasizes this idea of losing out or missing out on something as a result of one's inattention to opportunities. The second verse picks up on the theme of artists from cities like Detroit being underrated and overlooked by the music industry or fans in other parts of the country. Black Milk’s rap celebrates the uniqueness of the Detroit hip-hop scene and the hard work and skill that emerges from this city.
Royce da 5'9 then takes over, rapping about his reputation as a rapper and numerous other facets of his life; his criminal tendencies, his love for the Detroit hip-hop scene, and his ability to create classics. Royce da 5'9 also mentions how he and Black Milk work incredibly hard to make their collaborations classics. Overall, the song seems to be an anthem for the Detroit hip-hop scene, which incorporates themes of the individual and the collective loss attached to giving up an opportunity in life.
