Hopeles Lyrics - Red Light District - Ludacris

[Intro: ludacris] 

Ooooh 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 aint 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 

Im so stressed and all i here is "fuck tha world" [2x]

[verse 1: ludacris] 

Man ever since life been a gamble 

My life been in shamblez 

Double edge sword burnin both sides of the candle but cris but you cant handle the truth 

Dont wanna face reailty 

So lord accept my apology 

Please like when police say freeze 

And i aint do shit 

But im 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 grey 

Children slangin white in the hood 

We call it yaay drink old gold 

Down my yellow brick road 

Then rewrite my script til my story is untold 

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

Im fallin and i cant get up 

Photos 

[chorus 2x] 

[verse 2: trick daddy] 

I had to dream about a dope fiend 

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

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

But i was more then welcome to walk with him 

As we walked 

He talked and i just listen 

He said theres a big differnce between crackas and niggas 

See he said white folks look out fo the white folks but uh black folks blang wit tha black folks 

When they aint enough black roakz 

When you ooh to make a long story short 

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

You kno i woulldnt say something that wouldnt work and i wouldnt damnwaste my time telling something that would hurt you 

But you would fall for anything 

If you dont stand for something 

But thats for certain but niggas dont be listen and that shit be hurting 

No all of us but some of us 

And if we dont hurry up 

They going to bury each and every one of us 

And if we dont hurry up 

[chorus repeat 2x w/ trick daddy] 

[verse 3: ludacris] 

Sometimes i cant deal wit my daily issues 

Just being sober lifes a bitch and i cant control her 

I wish i could and sometimes to cry on 

We need a shoulder 

The goverment stand us up 

To run us over 

And in the hood they dont seem to understand 

God damn whats really got me wondering 

Is if its a part of a bigger plan man 

I smell some thing fishy goin on and its way beyond blowin away the smoke from these swisher 

Goin on it aint much i can do about it but preach the word of telling my people to spend ya money wisely dont be obcared 

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

Whats the fucks thats goings on cause the constantly getting rid of us one by one wither its drugs or diesase or gun by 

Gun i aint no saint either i feel that im even doing wrong by usein this chorus to get thru this song 

[chorus repeat 2x w/ trick daddy] 

[outro: trick daddy] 

You know yall going to mess around and complain about slavery that was over 40 50 years ago black folks need to move on 

Yall keep playin wit a crackerthey going to have yo ass tied up wired up to them back roads south florida and they made 

Them laws say they cant do anything for you can a church get a amen and god for the thugs.
