Lost Cause ft. ZTHEREUM Lyrics

Make 'em drop

Take it from the top

Imma spit the Gospel in three sixteenths like its John

Call me chicken either way I got a gun and its cocked

Do a doodle on my pad with my pen then its

Brap brap brap

Poppin writer's block off for the streets

Slaying demons imma feast on their meat

Till they stop putting innocent G's into hickory boxes

Gang Gang

But the gang didn't want you to succeed

Or give you the fathering you needed

Couldn't be bothered to plead

When the cops locked you for thieving

Talked large got you weaved in the plots seams

Then dropped you off the deep end

Made you top of the streets but didn't follow to the bottom

Where you sleep in a coffin but you do not have peace

Should be resting but your haunted by the red dreams

Of the blood shed from the kid that you offed on the op-block

You didn't know if he was affiliated

You just ate the pills pulled the trigger in the way the bigger boss taught

But was it really brave to take another life

At night you see his face

And think of all the pain and trauma that your shots caused

Now his mom's lost and you're enraged at the onslaught of bitter shame

Finna be a gangster with a soft heart

Man, it's hard to be a gangster with a soft heart

They called you a Lost Cause

Grew up in the backs of these cop cars

Wondering where your daddy's at

Trying to prove you're not scarred

You never thought that you were made for God

They called you a Lost Cause

Skipping every class like you not smart

Really you just wanna rap

Gunning for the top spot

You never thought you'd find your purpose at the cross

Lost cause lost cause

In the halls it was hard for us to talk

Had a target on my back

You was always taking shots

I could only see the shade

Man I never saw the clouds and the rain

That was casting death's shadow on your face from the start

The betrayal and the hurt is where the anger had be generated

Burned so many times you may as well have been incinerated

Instead of getting jaded I should've shone the love of God to dispel the hatred

We was eating all the meat that the Devil plated

He was keeping us from freedom

Got us beefing, robbing us of better bacon

Should've seen the scheme, hopped the Loss, that's an elevated/L evaded

Could've stopped hell in saying: Satan, I tasted your sauce

I'd rate it two stars

I ate your bars kid, why you getting irate

It's my time to switch the script and flip the lights off

Then apply sixth sense to win the fight in pitch dark

With hands tied behind back and eyes crossed

Cuz for direction and victory I rely on my God

Time stops and I dodge shots like Neo

Whenever I kneel to pray

Lifts me straight out the Matrix

Unstoppably vanquishes hate and fakeness

Downloaded and installed the template for greatness

Was a slave to sin but he freed my feet from the chains and shackles

So I'm dancing past these demons

Chopping them to pieces

With the Scriptures solely beaming out my hands

Like Anakin's light saber prior to his change-up

Luke to the sky - walking on the snake's head I see the Savior

Jesus came up out the grave and slayed Death's Star, named Morning

Clouds and pouring rain don't change

That he makes his dark sin-stained Princess Leia shame down

Washed white as snow by his scars

My soul is bright like a nova just don't start

With the doubts and accusations

Once lost but by his amazing grace now I'm way too found

I'm a new creation

My ears are stopped when you call me a lost cause

They called you a Lost Cause

Grew up in the backs of these cop cars

Wondering where your daddy's at

Trying to prove you're not scarred

You never thought that you were made for God

They called you a Lost Cause

Skipping every class like you not smart

Really you just wanna rap

Gunning for the top spot

You never thought you'd find your purpose at the cross

Lost cause
