[Intro]

Think we found a loophole

Say my name, hmm

Burga, hmm

Thank you


[Chorus]

Yeah, I lost some friends doin' business (I lost)

I lost some bread chasin' women (Ah, ah)

That ain't the only thing you lose when you out here chasin' your dreams, mama told me keep living (Uh, what else you lost?)

I lost some niggas in the trenches (Man), now all I can find is a memory (Damn)

I lost my brother to the system and that impaired my vision, I can't see who really with me (Uh, I'm blind)


[Verse 1]

Cold heart, I'm skippin' February (No love)

Droppin' flowers at the cemetery (Rest in peace)

Let me take you where I been already (Come on)

The court dates will make you change up your itinerary (Ooh)

I lost my brother to a headshot (Ooh)

It left me crippled like a legshot (Ooh)

Make sure the doors all dead-locked

Now it's military [?] with red dots, when I shoot (Grrah)

Lost some money chasin' women (Preach)

Never lost a woman chasin' money (Nah)

No, I ain't lyin', but, it's a lot of broken promises (That's right)

Yeah, and I'm just bein' honest (Preach), yeah

Fourth quarter, one minute left we trailin' by four (Four)

I just want the ball to put some numbers on the board

I done took so many loses, I'm trynna even the score (Uh)

It ain't nothin' to come back, I been here before (Yeah)


[Chorus]

Yeah, I lost some friends doin' business (I lost)

I lost some bread chasin' women (Ah, ah)

That ain't the only thing you lose when you out here chasin' your dreams, mama told me keep living (Uh, what else you lost?)

I lost some niggas in the trenches (Man), now all I can find is a memory (Damn)

I lost my brother to the system and that impaired my vision, I can't see who really with me


[Verse 2]

Only thing keep the money comin', passion (Love)

No value in your life then I'ma add it (Here)

What you takin' away from me, you subtract it (Minus)

Take advantage of this energy I'm passin' (Here you go)

Bend the rules the way you stretch 'em like elastic (Wow)

I can teach you how the game is (How)

Ballin' [?] quick [?] (Who?)

I ain't gotta tuck my chain in (Wow)

I got mind control over [?] (Haha)

I lost too many to the graveyard (Numbers)

'Cause they tolerance was zero (Fuck)

Most of my niggas in the prison system (Ah)

They in the box, for swingin' on a CO (Fuck)

I got crossed but, I ain't never came back and double cross

Worked the chance, turn my L's into lessons that's law (What you did)

Cut off some friends, learned lessons, that ain't a loss (For real)


[Chorus]

Yeah, I lost some friends doin' business (I lost)

I lost some bread chasin' women (Ah, ah)

That ain't the only thing you lose when you out here chasin' your dreams, mama told me keep living (Uh, what else you lost?)

I lost some niggas in the trenches (Man), now all I can find is a memory (Damn)

I lost my brother to the system and that impaired my vision, I can't see who really with me
