Greg Dos - Too Much to Lose (feat. Royal Entry) Lyrics

One step forward, two steps back
Put in overtime just to make up for that
I must be careful not to lose my way
I got too much to lose do you hear what I say

Look
My older homie said
This life here what you make it, the hustle part of the game
So I grind to feed these babies ain't thinkin no whip or chain
Now since a youngin I been cursed with this cursin to show the rage
Papa a rolling stone and my mama fell for the 'caine
(Oh lord)
I learned as a youngin to let it bang
Swear my mama taught this knuckle procedure, that's all she gave
Turned a boy into a man with this evil latched on the brain
Like something straight out a movie, promise it's how it came
Cause my man got popped, then my shorty got knocked
Was blessed with a little girl, but now my grandma heart stopped
Put a pistol to my dome, couldn't execute with the shot
Now back to square one gotta get it straight off the block
Barber told me give it to God; my questions over the top
Steady chippin at these chains just to break the circle of life
See my, ball of confusion uniquely tailored from pain
But I'm tryna get it right so my babies won't face the same, lord

One step forward, two steps back
Put in overtime just to make up for that
I must be careful not to lose my way
I got too much to lose do you hear what I say
One step forward, two steps back
Put in overtime just to make up for that
I must be careful not to lose my way
I got too much to lose do you hear what I say

Yeah
Currently unemployed, anything but overjoyed
Searching frantically for something useful that can fill the void
Need some peace and quiet, sick and tired of all this f*cking noise
Think my heart is getting colder than the wind in Illinois
Running through the six--pack of beer to wash away my woes
When I'm sober, they come back over that's the way it goes
Never ending cycle, everyday I see the Irish Rose
Will I ever make it? I guess only my Creator knows
Do we choose our own destiny or is it predetermined
Does God already know my thoughts 'fore I decide my purpose
Wonder if He already knows the job that I'll be working
If that's the case, I wish I knew then I'd apply in person
And get hired the same day, provide for my lady
And have enough sustenance for thousands of babies
And purchase enough weapons to guarantee safety
Just a little taste of what I've been thinking about lately

One step forward, two steps back
Put in overtime just to make up for that
I must be careful not to lose my way
I got too much to lose do you hear what I say
One step forward, two steps back
Put in overtime just to make up for that
I must be careful not to lose my way
I got too much to lose do you hear what I say
One step forward, two steps back
Put in overtime just to make up for that
I must be careful not to lose my way
I got too much to lose do you hear what I say
One step forward, two steps back
Put in overtime just to make up for that
I must be careful not to lose my way
I got too much to lose do you hear what I say
