Hopeless (feat. Trick Daddy)

[Ludacris]

Oh you feel that as I take you to them dirt roads deep in your southern roots

When nobody said life was going to be easy

And we travel to this emotional roller coaster called life

And we have our ups and downs

Just keep in mind

When you hit rock bottom

There ain't no where to go but up baby

Just all you about how you deal wit it you feel me, listen here[Chorus]

When life seems hopeless

It make a nigga lose focus

Empty beer bottles and roaches, helps to get it off my chest cause

I'm so stressed and all I here is "fuck the world" [Repeat: x2][Ludacris]

Man ever since life been a gamble

My life been in shamble

Double edge sword burning both sides of the candle

"But Cris, you can't handle the truth"

Don't want to face reality

So lord accept my apology

Please like when police say freeze

And I ain't do shit

But I'm down on my knees

Its a crooked system but gin straight take the pain away I charge the game

And put my problems on layaway

A black man but I feel so blue

So I smoke green and purple til my dreams come true

Then my eyes turn red

Sky turns gray

Children slanging white in the hood

We call it yay drink old gold

Down my yellow brick road

Then rewrite my script til my story's untold

See I got a little money and my life sped up now

I'm falling and I can't get up[Chorus: x2][Trick Daddy]

I had to dream about a dope fiend

And its strange cause he can bearly write or read but seems to get folks about anything

Curious about him

I wanted to talk to him but he was to busy for that

But I was more then welcome to walk with him

As we walked

He talked and I just listen

He said there's a big difference between crackers and niggas

See he said white folks look out for the white folks but uh black folks blang with the black folks

When they ain't enough black roakz

When you ooh to make a long story short

We need pay more attention and do things that are more compleset and he told me

You know I wouldn't say something that wouldn't work and I wouldn't damn sure waste my time telling something that would hurt you

But you would fall for anything

If you don't stand for something

But that's for certain but niggas don't be listen and that shit be hurting

No all of us but some of us

And if we don't hurry up

They going to bury each and every one of us[Chorus: x2][Ludacris]

Sometimes I can't deal wit my daily issues

Just being sober life's a bitch and I can't control her

I wish I could and sometimes to cry on

We need a shoulder

The government stand us up

To run us over

And in the hood they don't seem to understand

Goddamn!

What's really got me wondering

Is if its a part of a bigger plan man

I smell some thing fishy going on and its way beyond blowing away the smoke from these swishers

Going on it ain't much I can do about it but preach the word of telling my people to spend ya money wisely don't be obscured

By some things that depreciated like what like a home to open ya eyes to

What's the fucks that's goings on

Cause the constantly getting rid of us one by one whether Its drugs or diseases or gun by

Gun I ain't no saint either I feel that I'm even doing wrong by using this chorus to get through this song[Chorus: x2][Trick Daddy]

You know y'all going to mess around and complain about slavery that was over 40,

50 years ago black folks need to move on

Y'all keep playing wit a cracker they going to have yo ass tied up wired up

To them back roads south Florida, Georgia

And they made hem laws say they can't do anything for you

Can a church get a amen and god for them thugs too

Amen
