Hopeless Lyrics - Ludacris

[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 

Photos 

[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
