Текст песни Nothing to Gain - J-R3MI

I give it everything I got, but what is there to gain?
I put my pain into the page
I'm fuckin' ragin' with this shit
I don't got no fuckin' fans
Money, I ain't makin' it
I ain't doin' this for a livin'
I just do it for the passion
Therapeutic for my soul
Where did you go when I wrote
That fuckin' line for you, bro?
You ain't showin' no love
You ain't sharin' my shit
How am I supposed to grow
If nobody hears my flows?
I fuckin' body these tracks
But people take me for a joke

I got nothing to lose
But I got nothing to gain
Fuckin' fillin' these shoes
But you don't feel me the same
Fuckin' fuckboys don't even know what I'm saying

Fuck a fuckin' flow
Fuck you if you say I'm fuckin' sayin' fuck too many times
I'll fuckin' say it some more
I'm fuckin' sprayin' these hoes wit' these notes that I wrote
Now get your nose outta the broke shit
Stop sniffin' the dope
It fucks you up 'til you don't know
Where you are or you go
You can't memorize shit
The fuckin' damage is permanent
You're marked for life as a loser with strife
You think it's cool snorting powder 'til you're passed out with white
Shit all over the floor, with not a friend in sight
They ain't your friends
They're just homies who like
Spendin' time with a cool guy
Who is down for the ride
You're getting high with each other
Getting laid with your "brothers"
What you say to your mother
When you get on home?
"Mom, please leave me alone
I had a long night
I'm just up in my zone"

Fuck you, fuckin' bitch
Apologize to your mom
She's the only one who's tryna help you off this path you're on
It's destructive in its nature
Puttin' yourself into danger
Gangbangin' on the block
Tryna get shot by a ranger
You don't gotta live this life
You got a choice, don't meet your maker
Put your food upon your plate
Listen to who's tryna save ya
We're all tryna eat
We don't gotta cheat to make a livin' for ourselves
We gotta get up out this hell

I got nothing to lose
But I got nothing to gain
Fuckin' fillin' these shoes
But you don't feel me the same
Fuckin' fuckboys don't even know what I'm saying

Why you gotta play follow the leader all the time?
Be your own fuckin' leader
Use your own damn mind
That's why you got one
I fuckin' make what's hot, son
I don't follow the trends
I'm tryna set 'em, not cop one
Don't compare me to my idols; I'm my own damn man
I get inspired off 'em, then I do what I can
To put my own twist on it
Spit it with a different topic
From a new point of view that you haven't ever gotten

I speak for the ones that never have their stories told
The lonely folks
The ones who don't
Drink or smoke
Who has no interest in fuckin' hoes
Or partyin' 'til the lights go out
I'd prefer just chillin' in a house
With a couple of friends, sittin' on a couch
More intimate, just talk with them
Learn who they are, express myself
Instead of grindin' on my belt
Forget what we felt, left it on the dance floor
In that case, hell, I might as well not go at all
Want real connection, not time to fall on the wayside
Wanna take time to learn your face lines
I'm in space, high
Pain ends when I'm in love
Don't need no meds for havin' fun
No alcohol or drugs, just friends that I can trust
People that'll give me hugs if I need it in a slump
We can play some funny games or watch a movie on the rug
Talk about all of our problems
Then we joke, and then we solve 'em
We're ventin' our feelin's out; this is how you build a bond up
Friends like these, you gotta be glad that you got 'em
'Cause you could have none or have some who on the bottom

I got something to lose
But I got nothing to gain
I have everything I need
Can you tell me the same?
If you're thinkin' in your brain
I have family and friends
Then I'm tellin' you, fella
That the answer is yes
