| Yo C-Murder, you believe all these people they call me hopeless. |
| They say when your hopeless your not expected to do good, be successful. |
| And it’s by all means impossible to accomplish any goals. |
| They say I’m hopeless |
| They say I’m hopeless, hopeless, hopeless |
| Like a bullet with a hole in it Ohh, like a bullet with a hole in it, oh yeah |
| Look here, it’s not easy I struggled to get in this position |
| Taking my people out the ghetto was my only mission |
| I was jacking and strong arming accomplished i done changed |
| Making money living good I’m out of the game |
| See as I refused to see good in my accomplishments |
| All I ever get is dirty looks, never compliments |
| I figure jealousy, wishing that yall could be me Cause I’m living larger then life at the age of twentythree (ha ha) |
| Alot of pessimistic people is speaking about my lifestyle |
| So when I enter the center I look for the smiles |
| Many expected me to go down the tubes |
| Now the same people wishing that they could be in my shoes |
| But I’m the one they call hopeless |
| Lord forgive em for thinking that I was worthless |
| I forgive and forget |
| And I learn from every life experience |
| I hope yall feel every word cause this is real it gets |
| They call me hopeless |
| They say I’m hopeless |
| They say I’m hopeless, hopeless, hopeless |
| Like a bullet with a hole in it Like a bullet with a hole in it, bullet with a hole in it, oh They say I’m worthless |
| They say I’m worthless, worthless, worthless |
| And I’m up to my head in it And I’m up to my head in it, up to my head in it, oh They said I’m hopeless and I never make it They doubt it, call me an outcast because I’m bout it Now why you wanna label me and say I’m a thug |
| I never said I wasn’t because this ghetto is in my blood |
| But I maintain through poverty and tears |
| My only wish was that I make it to see another year |
| I left my dreams up in the penn, feel my constant struggle |
| And one man against a nation, damn I miss my brother |
| I walk a path to a dead end cause I’m lonely |
| A childhood full of rainy days kept me homeless |
| I always wondered was I cursed |
| Since birth I felt I never had a fair chance in life on this wreched earth |
| My lonely memories of the past, they got me thinking |
| I don’t wanna see the future, but die in vain |
| I ask the Lord will he forgive me Before I leave this world I wanna live a better life because I’m hopeless |
| They say I’m hopeless |
| They say I’m hopeless, hopeless, hopeless |
| Like a bullet with a hole in it Like a bullet with a hole in it, bullet with a hole in it, oh They say I’m worthless |
| They say I’m worthless, worthless, worthless |
| And I’m up to my head in it |
| I’m up to my head in it, yeah |
| They say It’s hopeless |
| They say It’s hopeless, hopeless, hopeless |
| For me to make it out the ghetto now |
| For me to make it out the ghetto |
| They say I’m struggling |
| They say I’m struggling, yeah |
| Like a heart with no love in it Like a heart with no love, heart with no love |
