Hopsin - No Hope lyrics

I've been there when you needed me the most
Had your back when you were broke
I've shown you love when there's no hope
You were my friend, like blood
Like brothers, like family and I say damn
Where would you be without me? Without me

I'm fucking tired of playing God
When you in need
The choices you made are on you completely
What's it got to do with me?
You mobbing through the streets
Clueless but it's not like you could see
You know I'm cool
So you take it like it's an opportunity
To get some free money
Damn you ain't got no shame
You been living off of my dough
Bitch I'm not your bank
You be asking to borrow knowing
That you not gon' pay
Abusing the privilege my nigga
That is not okay why don't you get it? I
Shouldn't have to explain it
Our foundation should be on some real shit
Not you asking for payments
So create a dream
Then get off your ass and then chase it
I'm mad and frustrated dealing
With this shit, i'm lacking the patience
You the homie
I don't mind you coming around dog
But, I should not have to
Pay for your downfall choose your faith
But still even if your day seem great
Just know I got your fucking back either way
You already know
I've been there when you needed me the most
Had your back when you were broke
I've shown you love when there's no hope
You were my friend, like blood
Like brothers, like family and I say damn
Where would you be without me? Without me

Now my own family tripping
I ain't think I would get
This shit from siblings
The money I'm making is yours
Right? It's a given let me tell y'all why I
Get a different feeling
Y'all was living good watching
Me and my momma
Struggle once we get the bills in
I don't recall any help or sympathies
Since 15 I been paying rent
You know what that did to me?
Could have been here, had this
Rap shit popping off
If y'all had lent the hand
But y'all wasn't worried 'bout helping us
You had a different plan
Focused on yourself
And now you holding on for help
You were self centered
And that was just an open door to hell
Oh, you need some money now
Yeah of course I know the deal
You want the benefit's without playing
The courses on the field
You ain't even doing your best or trying
Don't ask me for shit unless you dying
This is me testifying
Just know that when your
Bright days going straight
I couldn't have your back without feeling
Strange but you already know
I've been there when you needed me the most
Had your back when you were broke
I've shown you love when there's no hope
You were my friend, like blood
Like brothers, like family and I say damn
Where would you be without me? Without me

Money can leave you isolated
'cause people are shady
So why debate it? They love cash
And fantasize to make it
To get it, we'll fight and break shit
Develop unrighteous ways
Even taking the side with Satan
Thankfully I've awaken
Foes who abused the privilege by
Having those who were gifted
Around them close and they vision
Stop corroding your friendships
Don't be having your hands out, smiling
Hoping to get shit
Mooching off of a man's treasure
Is bogus and it's just
Not the way you should function with
Brothers when you're amongst 'em
That is what we call punk shit and
It can leave you stuck in
A boat that's already sunken
This can happen to anyone
Sisters, brothers and cousins
They disrespecting, then fuck 'em
That's the way that the fountain leaks
Keep on pushing your boundaries
In due time I am bound to see
All the snakes that surrounded me
I know that if my brightest days turn gray
You wouldn't have my back
Unless there was pay, it ain't no secret
I've been there when you needed me the most
Had your back when you were broke
I've shown you love when there's no hope
You were my friend, like blood
Like brothers, like family and I say damn
Where would you be without me? Without me
