Def Eff - I Can't Lose

I can't lose 'cause I ain't trying to win
I ain't playing no games, I'm in that other skin
Busy pondering a way to stop being the underling
In everything
I'm wondering if this is how it's goin' to end
Chasing paper for another
Doing favours for a brother
Disappointing to my mother
Growing up to be my father
Why bother?
When I'm always feeling under,
Something, someone, weather , whatever
The life that I'm living feels like a blunder
All that's in my ear is just the thunder
Why dream when all the world will simply do to those , is plunder
My body, soul and spirit torn asunder
Just a couple o' things that's in my ear that I figured I have to utter

You never know what's inside right?
'Cause I never cry
Pride right?
You've never seen what's inside right?
Cause I always hide
Smile right

Stakes is high, the beef is in the air
I get the feeling that the end is near
In fact I things it's here
I really think that ran out of fear
And I done failed so many times that I don't even think care to care
Well, that's a lie, my hurt is very clear
But I'm creative so I learnt a while ago that's How I must appear
'Cause if I didn't then I'd always tear
Trust me
Constant pressure all up in this sphere, in my ear
Comparison to every other peer
Apple and pear
Celebrity versus an artist so you can't compare
But maybe I should change it all this year
So I can meet their expectations and become the one they one they want to cheer
Spitting' the general they like to hear
Lazy lyricism
Living
Party
Cars
Money
Hoes and beer
Redefine the goals for my career
Why waste anymore time trying to be the best imagineer

You've never seen what's inside right?
'Cause I never cry
Pride right?!

You've never seen what's inside right?
'Cause I always hide
Smile right?!

I done felt the many kind of rages
Put my heart through all the different paces
Can't even count the faces
I done pulled along with the favours
That I'm about to for the paying strangers
In hopes of going places
Soul forgive me for the different cases
That I'm 'a take us through in different phases
At least will get the praises
And be remembered for the easy pages
That we'll produce for what will feel like ages
Ignore the loops and cages
While taking all the wages
Enjoying all the gazes
The screaming fans outrageous
We've made it to the majors
We'll soon forget the dangers
And be so proud to brave this

That's how we die
