Just because I'm losing, doesn't mean that I'm lost, lost, lost, lost

If I had a nickel for every time I had to nickel and dime

I'd be richer than every line that I done spit to a rhyme

Either way, I'm underpaid like it's an industry conspiracy

Silence, maybe cause they fearing me

And my born supremacy, but y'all ain't hearing me

Silly me for standing up against the tyranny

But I don't speculate, cause I expect the hate

No good deed goes unpunished, wait

Don't ignore the elephant in the room

They wonder, "Is Ras Kass relevant?" Fucking buffoons

These ****' bars ain't all that

You can trick these 16-year-old girls, but most of y'all wack

It's a shame how hip hop turned its back on skills

And let politics decide who's hot and not who's real

In fact, pimpers alive in rap, but y'all the hoes

Cause rappers literally be on the track

**** get fame, then act strange

Don't be surprised when you see me chilling backstage

Still with a hot chick, rocking shit, looking well off

Just when you was thinking, "I thought that **** fell off"

No

Just because I'm losing, doesn't mean that I'm lost, lost, lost, lost

And even when I was close to defeat, I rose to my feet

You got platinum artists biting my punchlines

Like I ain't say that shit six years ago, lunch time

Go get your school meal, until the school start charging tuition

And it's all intuition

Trials and tribulations put the God on a mission

Sacrifice 'til I get to the next level, it's all an audition

'Til the machine kick in and my pay raise increase

Like I've been in the NBA draft for 15 years straight

I'm a motherfucking beast

Overdue for a ring, LeBron, Miami Heat

Club marauders low-balling, fronting on dough

My city said overcharge 'em for every time they said no

See, the rap game like Vegas

The bitches all groupies and they mostly fuck with haters

So you ain't gotta ride with me

But when the Phantom come, bitch, don't try to slide with me

Reached out to my friends in the biz, asking for help

Ain't even return my call, only concerned with they self

Thanks for nothing, thanks for fronting

But I'm aging backwards, ****, Benjamin Button

Just because I'm losing, doesn't mean that I'm lost, lost, lost, lost

Just because I'm losing, doesn't mean that I'm lost, lost, lost, lost

They just laughed at me and called me a dreamer, you know

And I pushed forward, I, you know, was accomplishing my dreams

I was winning, my career was headed straight up

Critics were saying I'm done, you know

"He's done, he's never gonna make it"

I'm like, you can't tell me stuff like that

Because that's all I've done my whole life

Is do what people tell me I can't do

I worked hard, I feel faster, stronger

I feel in the best shape of my life, I really do

My goal is to show the world that no matter what life dealt me

I climbed over those hurdles and came back

And it's the best me you've ever seen
