[chorus]
Just because I'm losing doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I'm across

[verse1]
black cats cross my path man they say thats bad luck
im walking tall anyways cause i dont really give a fuck
im on my way home on this lonely road
for the fallen soldier, this is our only ode
cause we know these street lights are not our friends
theyre laughin at us like ha i knew you couldnt win
the odds were against you, head lines say you got played
not plays not laid go get paid some other day
cause today, you gotta make the walk of shame
your future's in your hands so really who's to blame?
you, so aim ya head at ya feet
and let it sink in this bitter taste is defeat
but not in vain, make sure the lesson's learned
cause god has a reason for everybody gettin burned
he doesnt just make us struggle for fun
he makes us struggle to make fathers outta sons
(so...)

[chorus]
Just because I'm losing doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I'm across

[verse2]
so at the end of the day you can say you're better than me
but at the end of the day its up to the fans actually
and factually who has more versatillity?
and who stays closer to the reality?
me, youre stuck in rap star mind state
where your super rich rollin in an escalade
rockin a rolex and a million dollar chain
im not hatin but all your songs sound the same
but what happens when the people start wantin more?
when they dont want stories bout you fuckin some whore
when they step out the club and need help with real life
thats when the rebel rappers step into the light
like lupe kanye kweli and nas
yea the world is yours, but truly at what cost?
losing all of your family and losing all of your friends?
you may pay it to but to me it aint worth it in the end
(cause...)

[end]
You might be a big fish in a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
'Cause along may come a bigger one

And you'll be lost!
Every river that you tried to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Oh and I'm just waiting til the firing's stopped
Oh and I'm just waiting til the shine wears off
