Lose Out

"Look out this is me, L.B. triple P"
"Les Brown, your platinum playin' papa"
"There were none before me, and there will be none after me"
"Therefore, that makes me the one and only"
"Young and single, and love to mingle"
"Certified, bonafide, indubitably qualified"
"To bring you satisfaction, and a whole lot of action"
"Look out baby, I'm your love man"
"I was hungry"
"C'mon give your old man a round of applause"
Since I was young I knew that, I wanna be a provider
Always have to prove that, to myself and nobody else
Momma need a house, and I feel the pressure building
So I gotta get her out, I don't like the way she living
Doing everything I have to
Having flashbacks, I remember what that crack do
I remember my feelings, it covered up my ambition
My questions did not get answered, felt like I had no opinion
I'm tryna keep it together, but this a fight I ain't winning
Either give up or keep going, gotta make a decision
I'm crying up to the heavens and lately they ain't been listening
Easier said than done, tryna live in this condition
I don't wanna lose out, I don't wanna die
Turn the music too loud, sleeping in the studio now
Take a chance, roll the dice
Maybe this could change my life
I don't wanna lose out, I don't wanna die
Turn the music too loud, sleeping in the studio now
Take a chance, roll the dice
Maybe this could change my life
Arguing with myself , tryna please everybody else
My music is my music, I won't keep it on the shelf
Do it the way I wanna, 'cause that shit is good for my health
I'm confident in myself, and my sound gon' stack up the wealth
Taking all of my people with me, other people wanna be down
But they don't know me like that, acting like they been around
Acting like they invested all of that time in and out
When we was hungry and down, you was nowhere to be found
Why?
"I was saying drink, Ron, drink"
"Drink Ron, I would've gone to get him some more if he'd asked me to"
"And I was walking back and forth"
"Young, ready, and hungry"
I don't wanna lose out, I don't wanna die
Turn the music too loud, sleeping in the studio now
Take a chance, roll the dice
Maybe this could change my life
I don't wanna lose out, I don't wanna die
Turn the music too loud, sleeping in the studio now
Take a chance, roll the dice
Maybe this could change my life
