I Can't Lose

Erick the Architect

7

I′m so sorry that you're gonna have to pay for the foul play, foul play

If you wanna team up and start a new game, I got some news baby

I′m so sorry, but you might just have to deal with a short fall for the long haulI'm so sorry, baby, I can't lose again

Knock you down once, and get back up again

Knock you down two times, get up twice as fast

Knock you down three times though, might not get back up

Don′t slip

Some are just given raw talent (talent)

Others just little lost balance (balance)

While many still livin′ off highs (highs)

I'm wondering how they stay grounded (grounded)

I done lost friends and lost family (family)

So, when you don′t see me, how can he? (I'm sorry)

Too many still movin′ uncanny (movin')

And I already got my speech for the Grammy′s

Could've been a suit in a building (that building)

Could've been you, if you′re willing (if you′re willing)

We all still chasin' that feeling (that feeling)

And I ain′t really gotta wait for your opinion (hell no)

Used to feel I wasn't shit without weed

But how could any live without me?

Can′t win without moving our feet

Now you know that beauty's no secret

Insecure and movin′ indecent (indecent)

Hey, I just wanna kick it for the weekend

When you rich and it seems so peaceful

But more money, more problems, more evil

I can't lose, with a cloak of disguise

Life is great if you rose with the skies

I got so much to say, only so much arrives

Uncertain if a man sheds his soul when he cries

Not sleep and it's four, goin′ on five

Now jottin′ thoughts and it's all exercise

I can′t lose myself to this rap shit (no)

I can't lose myself to this rapture (I can′t do it)

I can't lose myself, unattached it (I can′t do it)

I can't move myself out this bracket (no)

I can't lose my worth, just imagine

If any man moves, then it′s Full Metal Jacket

You ever seen that movie before?

Listen though

My music was written by Beethoven or, or Bach or Schubert

It was written by God in hand

Yeah

I wanna be better with emotions

Plan it out and not move so impulsive

Nerves got me shaking

They say it cure it with age, but I think they′re mistaken

While some it's flagrant, I say it took patience

Long nights alone, coped with no motivation

Drunk by myself with no way to escape what

I′m faced with, evasive and spacious

Sucker nigga tryna stunt my creations

On the path, adversaries observed what it took

How to get a grip with high intelligence

I ain't always have a job

And the money got so scarce, so we robbed

They misunderstood, they thought this was a gimmick or a fraud

Such a rapport for the boy born premature

But he still evolved, through the trenches and the fog, uh

They ignored us, who could paint these pictures with the sawdust?

Anything this vivid takin′ four months

I can't lose, I get too invested in it (no)

How could this be love if there′s no obsession in it? (No)

How could this be definite with no profession in it?

How it feel to hear that you the best, but you been questionin' it?

When these things don't matter, gotta shake it off (shake it off)

If the game too hot, you gotta take it off (take it off)

If nobody wants to share, you gotta take it all (take it off)

No bad moves, I can′t lose, I never take a loss

I can′t lose again, no

I only can win

If my heart is in, I can't lose again

I only want to win
