The Diamond District - Lost Cause lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Yeah, I came here on a ship, but I flew out on a plane

Chain and shackles and a whip, for some status in the name

And that hasle is still the same, and my ticket still in ?

And my seat is near exotic, guess the shit won't ever change

What's a black suppose to do? Sell some crack and entertain?

Get a bachelor and some bullshit and a job below my aim?

I was shootin' for the stars, they shootin' rockets at the moon

Reach in my pockets for the keys, the copper's reachin' for the tube

If you see me on the news, I hope it's cuz I'm on a role

Tryna keep me on a leash but I ain't out here on parole

Yeah, I'm free to go, freedom ?

Freedom chain, freedom side, freedom ?

Only thing free to me is a free demise

This is why my hustle's strong, I grew up boxin' hustler bu's

My momma grew up boxin' kids, my momma grew up boxin' clothes

Overcomin' obstacles way before Dr. Martin spoke

No-one can give me hope, momma gave me that before her aqua broke

(Hook)

I'm a lost cause, I am a farcry

But I can still call and get involved, I

Ain't out here for no sign, I'm lookin' for one in the streets

Now Martin said to that general we stay ridin' till that v

You still ridin' to that beat? Your feel is in my soul

And I get on the struggle like my kim ?

J'ridin', ridin', no hit me on the low

Ain't nothin' gonna stop me, I ain't down to make em choke

Ah, yeah, let's go
