Got nothing to lose
Got nothing to lose, yeah
Got nothing to lose
Got nothing to lose, yeah
Nothing to lose
Got nothing to lose, yeah
Nothing to lose, yeah
Take you back to '94
Momma cryin' on the floor
He ain't want to be a daddy
Through the deuces at the door
I was right around eight
Had a sista on the way
Man I can't believe I lost my biggest hero in a day
So we moved from place to place
Working hard to make a way
But we couldn't shake the struggle
We ain't ever catch a break
So I'm grinding every day
Wear the mask and wear the cape
Like a hero from a movie man I gotta save the day
Got nothing to lose, yeah
Got nothing to lose
Nothing to lose, yeah
Got nothing to lose
Got nothing to lose
Now it's time to turn the page
Almost time to graduate
Man, I never went to prom
Even though I had a date
See it's hard to celebrate
When you can't afford the rates
I was working like my mom to keep my little sista safe
In Miami, wish I could
At the party, naw I'm good
How the hell I'm supposed to flex my family starvin' in the hood
Holy Father give me strength
All I ever do is pray
Can't you get us out this gutta
Man I'm tired of the rain
Got nothing to lose, yeah
Got nothing to lose
Nothing to lose, yeah
Got nothing to lose, yeah
Little mama, how's your day
Like your smile, what's your name
Man I hope I'm not intruding
But I really like your braids
I could take you to the moon
And of course, I'll jump the broom
But I got somethings to handle
So it won't be coming soon
You can't wait, I understand
I won't fit into your plan
I just hope that you don't think that I'm afraid to be a man
Cause I swear that ain't the truth
I just got somethings to prove
Once my family doin' good, I swear I'll only live for you
Got nothing to lose, yeah
Got nothing to lose
Nothing to lose, yeah




Got nothing to lose
