Nothing 2 Lose
Kari Faux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just hop in the car and cruise
I got a bag full of heaven and a couple of brews
I been living like there's nothing to lose cause there's nothing to lose
Hey man, you got nothing to do
Just hop in the car and cruise
I got a pocket full of cash and an 8th of the shrooms
I been living like there's nothing to lose cause there's nothing to lose
Life just hit me and it left a bruise
Now I'm tryna drink away all my blues
Another nigga dead, that's daily news
I'm more aware but I'm more confused
Pollution in my air, but I must consume
Who really gives a fuck? 'Cause we're all doomed
Even with the sunshine, my days are filled with gloom
My only friends are the four walls of my room
There's a method to my recklessness
Never gave a fuck about being elegant
While you out here fighting to be relevant
I'm just out here tryna pay my fucking rent
Got world on my back, it's some shit like everyday
Gotta get the pay, I'm getting calls from Sallie Mae
Nobody's really helpful like they think they are
Gotta clear my mind, so I hopped in the car
Hey man, you got nothing to do
Just hop in the car and cruise
I got a bag full of heaven and a couple of brews
I been living like there's nothing to lose cause there's nothing to lose
Hey man, you got nothing to do
Just hop in the car and cruise
I got a pocket full of cash and an 8th of the shrooms
I been living like there's nothing to lose cause there's nothing to lose
I've been searching for something
That I can't see and I can't buy
I just know it's there, I just know it's there
I just know it's there, I just know it's there
Throw ya hands in the air, if ya feeling scared
I'm familiar with the feeling, man I fucking swear
Can't go along with bullshit, I ain't no fucking square
Will i ever get the chance to escape this despair
It's been 6 months since the last time we spoke
Saying you doing good but I know you doing blow
I ain't passing judgement cause you know I tend to smoke
You know you still my nigga but I needed space to grow
You cross my mind daily, and I wonder
How did we let this world take us under?
Remember where we were before we got this far
If you gotta getaway, you should hop in the car
Hey man, you got nothing to do
Just hop in the car and cruise
I got a bag full of heaven and a couple of brews
I been living like there's nothing to lose cause there's nothing to lose
Hey man, you got nothing to do
Just hop in the car and cruise
I got a pocket full of cash and an 8th of the shrooms
I been living like there's nothing to lose cause there's nothing to lose
The lyrics to Kari Faux's "Nothing 2 Lose" describe a sense of nihilism and ennui that the artist experiences in contemporary society.

The song references the financial struggles that many young people face, including calls from Sallie Mae, a student loan company known for their persistent collections calls. Despite everything, the artist remains determined to keep going, urging her friend to join her in the car and to live life to the fullest.
