Erick The Architect - I Can't Lose

I'm so sorry that you're gonna have to pay
For the foul play, foul play
If you wanna team up and start a new game
I got some news babe
I'm so sorry, but you might just have to deal
With a short fall for the long haul
I'm so sorry, baby, I can't lose again, no

Knock you down once
Get back up again (I only play when if my heart is in)
Knock you down two times (I can't lose again)
Get up twice as fast
Knock you down three times though (I'll only let you win)
(Let the games begin)
You might not get back up (but I can't lose again)
Don't slip (no)

Some are just given raw talent (talent)
Others just little lost balance (balance)
While many still livin' off highs (highs)
I'm wondering how they stay grounded (grounded)
I done lost friends and lost family (family)
So, when you don't see me, how can he? (I'm sorry)
Too many still movin' uncanny (movin')
And I already got my speech for the Grammy's (the Grammy's)
Could've been a suit in a building (that building)
Could've been you, if you're willing (if you're willing)
We all still chasin' that feeling (that feeling)
And I ain't really gotta wait for your opinion (hell no)
Used to feel like I wasn't shit without weed
But how could any live without me?
Can't win without moving our feet
Now you know that beauty's no secret
Insecure and movin' indecent (indecent)
Hey, I just wanna kick it for the weekend (weekend)
When you rich and it seems so peaceful
But more money, more problems, more evil
I can't lose, with a cloak of disguise
Life is great if you rose with the skies
I got so much to say, only so much arrives
Uncertain if a man sheds his soul when he cries
Not sleepin', it's four goin' on five
Now jottin' thoughts and it's all exercise
I can't lose myself to this rap shit (no)
I can't lose myself to this rapture (no, I can't do it)
I can't lose myself, unattached it (no, I can't do it)
I can't move myself out this bracket (no)
I can't lose my worth, just imagine
If any man moves, then it's Full Metal Jacket

(I can't lose again, no)
You ever seen that movie before?
(I only play when if my heart is in)
Listen though (I can't lose again)
My music wasn't written by
Beethoven or (I'll only let you win)
Bach or Schubert (let the games begin)
It was written by God and me, yeah (but I can't lose again, no)

I wanna be better with emotions
Plan it out and not move so impulsive, nerves got me shaking
They say they cure it with age, but I think they're mistaken
While some it's flagrant, I say it took patience
Long nights alone, coped with no motivation
Drunk by myself with no way to escape what I'm faced with
Evasive and spacious
Sucker nigga tryna stunt my creations
On the path, adversaries observed what it took
How to get a grip with high intelligence
I ain't always have a job and the money got so scarce, so we robbed
They misunderstood, they thought this was a gimmick or a fraud
Such a rapport for the boy been premature
But he still evolved, through the trenches and the fog, uh
They ignored us, who could paint these pictures with the sawdust?
Anything this vivid takin' four months (easy)
I can't lose, I get too invested in it (no)
How could this be love if there's no obsession in it? (No)
How could this be definite with no profession it?
How it feel to hear that you the best, but you been questionin' it?
When things don't matter, gotta shake it off (shake it off)
If the game too hot, you gotta take it off (take it off)
If nobody wants to share, you gotta take it all (take it off)
No bad moves, I can't lose, I never take a loss

I can't lose again, no
I only play when if my heart is in
I can't lose again
I'll only let you win
Let the games begin
But I can't lose again, no
