Mr. Nobody (Prod. by Statik Selektah) - Reks.mp3

[00:01.54]Nobody, nobody
[00:05.95]Me against the world, trust it's no party
[00:11.56]'Cause all that glitters ain't gold
[00:12.71]So I've been told
[00:13.95]Been down them lonely roads where the nights get cold
[00:16.16]As a kid we used to say
[00:18.17]"Oh the places we'll go
[00:19.54]Oh the places we'll go
[00:20.92]We'll go so many places"
[00:22.11]
[00:22.45][Hook: Sample of Hope's "The Rain Don't Last" (+Reks)]
[00:23.15]Could it be the world's grown colder? (So cold)
[00:25.16]Maybe I'm a losing soul (Well maybe I can't win)
[00:27.79]The more I try, it just gets harder (So hard)
[00:30.00]And my pain is getting old
[00:32.68]Somebody said that nothing lasts forever
[00:35.82]Just the storm so I've been told
[00:38.54]But it seems that when it rains, it pours
[00:43.27]And you know (I try)
[00:43.65]
[00:43.93][Verse 1]
[00:45.50]What becomes of a born loser?
[00:47.49]I used to believe I was conceived to be king
[00:51.01]Mommy was a drug user
[00:53.19]Daddy died young, as a son I have seen
[00:56.29]Many nights where he abused her
[00:58.90]He was just a teen, and she was just a teen
[01:01.39]When I was brought into their life hula
[01:04.37]Hoop of deceit and lies
[01:05.98]My poor bleeding eyes
[01:07.58]Used to watch Nikki on the scooter
[01:09.78]A daughter with no father may never realize
[01:12.88]A man's touch, a man's trust, scrutinized
[01:15.74]You either treat her like your queen or your *****,
[01:17.97]right?
[01:18.45]I had a lite-brite
[01:19.98]It used to light up my life until the bills weren't
[01:22.45]paid, and day became night
[01:23.49]'Zay became like my big brother
[01:26.32]He would hand me down 'nough hand-me-downs, get me
[01:28.18]through a few summers
[01:29.21]
[01:29.46][Hook]
[01:29.69]
[01:29.96][Verse 2]
[01:52.48]Daddy didn't preach good loving
[01:54.65]Just about the time Momma had me in the oven
[01:57.20]I was something in the making
[01:59.17]Praising Momma raised a boy through the dramas of a
[02:01.64]Papa's leaving
[02:03.35]I'm a believer in Karma
[02:05.19]So when Daddy died of AIDS, complicated days of a
[02:08.63]youngin'
[02:09.41]Coming of age, I'm in a daze
[02:11.07]Let me cut straight through the chase
[02:13.90]I lived it, no twistin' it
[02:15.35]Christmas was gifts from the gov'ment
[02:17.54]Watching my Momma plummet
[02:19.05]Baby boo in her stomach, womb
[02:20.80]By the stove in the winters
[02:22.30]Heart cold in the summers, summers
[02:24.10]Couldn't fight the belly rumbles
[02:26.26]Humble beginnings were mine
[02:28.24]Family lying, uncle dying
[02:30.95]Time and time again head to that Welfare line
[02:34.26]A ladder to climb through hard times
[02:34.97]
[02:35.95][Hook]
[02:36.92]
[02:37.33][Verse 3]
[02:59.36]Momma got the lupus in her bones
[03:01.61]Roof is caving in like the upper support's gone
[03:04.44]Move to the South, still Massachusetts home
[03:07.02]So through the sunshine, the heart is a cold zone
[03:10.03]Harder to pen storms through wind storms
[03:12.14]When Com. Sense said Borrow a Dollar, economy was
[03:15.21]strong
[03:16.30]Now we try to borrow tomorrow to get from
[03:18.05]Yesterday's somber with limited income
[03:21.29]Outcome: We out of luck and some
[03:23.84]Hence I'm living from buck-to-buck
[03:25.96]**** what Clinton, Bush, and Obama do
[03:28.06]Politicians got us in the hole I just can't fit my
[03:32.26]Momma through
[03:32.72]It's possible to do impossible, but by pursuit of
[03:34.85]proper route
[03:35.74]Obstacles, keep writing and **** and shoot
[03:37.94]Screaming "who got the loot" like Notorious B.I.,
[03:40.76]Chose another brother now I'm victorious, see why?
