Lyrics No Hoodie (Nothin' To Lose) - Jay Electronica , Dave East

This shit real
Half you niggas don't know how it feel

I ain't have nowhere to go, nowhere to go
If you know what I know, I ain't have nowhere to go, nowhere to go
If you know what I know, I ain't have nowhere to go
If you know what I know

If you know what I know, I ain't have nowhere to go
Broke and it's about to get cold
I slept in my hoodie, woke up on the train
I wanna rob everybody I know
The thoughts of a menace
I ain't been good in a minute
I'm stuck in the hood, I'm just sittin'
Mental been slippin'
And I ain't get invited to not one Thanksgiving dinner
I'm scared of the winter, New York can get colder than cold
Ask God to just open my soul
Fuck the system, no, I don't wanna vote
Not to mention, I do not own a coat
It's freezin', my nigga
I don't got cash or no credit, no Amex or Visa, my nigga
Slept in my jeep with the heat on, my nigga
I'm starvin' for real, ain't no secret, my nigga
I was just tryna get my hands on bird
My man just got hit, I seen that on his shirt
And I got a felony, it's gon' be hard to get work
Fuck the judge, I hope your honor get murked
Nobody helpin' me, nobody there for me
Think of my mama, know she said a prayer for me
Pedestrians lookin' so scared of me
Think I need therapy, please, before somebody bury me
None of these bitches won't marry me, watch how you stare at me
I ain't got nothing to lose, so you better move carefully
Think I need therapy, please before somebody bury me
None of these bitches won't marry me, watch how you stare at me
I ain't got nothing to lose, so you better move carefully

Ain't got no hoodie on
Nothing to eat, only dope on the stove that I'm cookin' on
Might take a life if he lookin' wrong
I'm feeling cold, yeah
Ain't got no home, yeah
Young nigga ain't got no heart
I was just tryna get outta the trap with no jacket, ain't nowhere to start

I mastered the dark nights, Christian Bale
Tryna find home like Dorothy Gale
In the land of the free and the home of the brave
Well ask this cat, we lost in Hell
Walk the streets with no face or name
Nothin' left to do but embrace the pain
Wandering through this wilderness, where my only companion is hate and shame
Like Johnny Blaze, it's fuck the world
While I walk the line like Johnny Cash
Trapped between this light and dark like Johnny Depp was in Donnie Bras
Regan to Trump, ain't nothin' changed
Politics is for the politicians
Full meltdown in this melting pot
While I roam the block with no pot to piss in
Guide me O, Thou Great Jehovah surrounded by these snakes and cobras
Constantly I'm getting high, 'cause this life is too harsh to face it sober
One nation under God, allegedly indivisible
Welcome to the American Dream where the homeless live invisible

Ain't got no hoodie on
Nothing to eat, only dope on the stove that I'm cookin' on
Might take a life if he lookin' wrong
I'm feeling cold, yeah
Ain't got no home, yeah
Young nigga ain't got no heart
I was just tryna get outta the trap with no jacket, ain't no way to start
