You'll try and you'll try again
But you know you can't win
You'll try and you'll try again
But you know you can't win
What more can I say now?
What more can I do?
No need to feel sad now
'Cause times are pretty thin
And you can't win
You can't win
You can't win
Try and do what you can
But you know you can't win
You say you don't understand
But you know you can't win
What more can you say now?
What more can you do?
No need to feel sad now
'Cause times are pretty thin
And you can't win
You can't win
You can't win
What more can I say now?
What more can I do?
No need to feel sad now
'Cause times are pretty thin
You can't win
You can't win

(Charlie Smalls)
You can't win
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
People keep sayin'
Things are gonna change
But they look just like they're staying the same
You get in
Way over your head
And you've only got yourself to blame
You can't win, chile
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
You can't win
The world keeps movin'
And you're standin' far behind
People keep sayin'
Things 'll get better
Just to ease your state of mind
So you lay back
And you smoke that smoke
And you drink your glass of wine
You can't win, chile
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
You can't win
You can't win
No way if your story stays the same
You ain't winnin'
But it's nice to see you
I'm awfully glad you came
Better cool it
'Cause it ain't about losin'
Then the world has got no shame
You can't win, chile
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
You can't win
You can't win
You can't break even
Ain't the way
It's supposed to be
You'll be spendin'
Your little bit of money
While someone else ride free
Learn your lesson, refuel your mind
Before some turkey blows out your flame

You can't win, you can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
People keep sayin' things are gonna change
But they look us like, you're stayin' the same
You can't win, get over your head
And you only have yourself to blame
You can't win Chile
(You can't win Chile)
You ain't break even
And you can't get out of the game
You can't win, the world keeps movin'
And you're standin' far behind
People keep sayin', things'll get better
(Just to ease your state of mind)
(So you lean back, and you smoke that smoke)
(And you drink your glass of wine)
So you can't win, Chile, you can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
You can't win, you can't win no way
If your story stays the same, no, no
(You ain't winnin')
(But it's nice to see you)
(I'm awfully glad you came)
(Better cool it 'cause it ain't about losing')
Then the world has got no shame
You can't win, Chile
You can't break even
You can't get out of the game
You can't win, you can't break even
Ain't the way it's supposed to be, no, no
(You'll be spendin')
(Your little bit of money)
While someone else rides for free, ooh
(Learn your lesson)
(Refuel your mind)
(Before someone blows out your flame)
You can't win, Chile, no
You can't win
You can't win, Chile, no
You can't win
You can't win, Chile, no
You can't win
You can't win, Chile, no

And you can't get out of the game
You can't get out of the game
You can't get out of the game, no, no

Ladies and gentleman
(Come on throw your hands in the air like this one time)
One-two, this thing on right here
(We ain't gonna stop)
Can y'all hear me out there?
(And we want every one in this motherfucker to get out their seat)
Ladies and gentleman without further adieu
(It's our time)
I'd like to introduce to you, my bitch
[Lil' Kim]
Fuck that, bitches don't deserve to rap
I'm back, and I'm about to murder cats
Trying to take my crown, I ain't letting that go down
I cop the four pound and go the whole twelve rounds, yeah
You broke hoes need to throw in the towel
Life's a wheel of fortune and y'all can't buy a vowel
Who me? That's none of your concern
Like ashes in the urn, more money to burn
Damn my ass is firm, stay away from germs
Pussy flawless, get wetted in worms
If you only knew like Aaliyah
How your man be hawking me and stalking me
When he fucking you he see me
Every crack valve or record he sell I get a piecey
Easy, believe me, my words is credible
Ask Nat Cole huh, I'm unforgettable
Don't let the QB get a hold of your guy
Sex him well, get him high, he might fuck around and die
1 - [Lil' Kim]
I guess you know by now who's number one
Brooklyn, Brooklyn that's where I'm from
(Number one)
So if you got beef better think again
(Number one)
Cause you can't win
(You can't win)
Repeat 1
Your so called vendetta was light like birds' feathers
Even with an umbrella, you can't stop my hurricane
I moved on to bigger and better things
Y'all still making minimum wage
First on stage, like the ever I graze
Leave you amazed
And keep the fifth by the rib cage
All you jealous ass holes is rebellious ass holes
Still trying to recoup from the first album ass holes
You's a gangster, prove it
Wanna shoot me, do it
That's word than Jerry McGuire
I'll set that ass on fire
That's how you work with barbed wire
Carve my name in your face
Pour gas-o-line on you and drop you at the gas station
Y'all chicks ain't blind, I shine like polyeurotheme

If you go
They say you're following
If you don't
Then you're too good for them
If you smile
You must be ignorant
If you don't - what's your problem?
If you dump - so ungrateful
And if you're happy - why so selfish?
And you can't win, no
You can't win, no
The one who doesn't quite fit in
Underdressed
Under your skin, oh
A walking disaster
Everytime you try to fly you end up falling out of line
Oh, you can't
You can' win, no
If you're thin
Poor little walking disease
If you're not
They're all screaming obese
If you're straight
why aren't you married yet?
If you're gay why aren't you waving a flag?
If it's wrong, you're knowing it
If it's right, you always miss
You can't win, no
You can't win, no
The one who doesn't quite fit in
Underdressed
Under your skin, oh
A walking disaster
Everytime you try to fly you end up falling out of line
Oh, you can't
You can' win, no
And you try
You try so hard
But it's written on your heart
And you play
You play the game
But you pay
You pay for it
You can't win, no
You can't win, no
If you speak
You'll only piss 'em off
If you don't
You're another robot
If you stop
They just say you quit
If you don't
You might lose your shit
You can't win, no
You can't win, no
You can't win, no
The one who doesn't quite fit in
Underdressed
Under your skin, oh
A walking disaster
Everytime you try to fly you end up falling out of line
Oh, you can't

Yo God, through the knowledge, God, it's like this
This world is rude and controlled by society
That exists with the societies, that exists, with the societies, God
You understand?
These secret societies is maneuvering
Within society to control society
That's why society is outta control
33rd and one third, I heard the illuminated ones, huh
The last days we're facin', that's the case when the emancipation
Proclamation decays, back to the plantation
The government plottin' a nuclear detonation
Destroyin' vegetation, water, the newer order means starvation
The I on the dollar symbolize illumination
Of society, secretly overseein' population
Understand it, the government plans to enslave the planet
I'm trapped in a faze, thinkin' of ways, can it
Happen? 85 percent of the population nappin'
Prayin' in churches, catchin' the holy ghost clappin'
Across the border travellin', I found the Nile across the water
Teachin' my peoples the age of the newer order
Twenty five to click blood line, we toast off wine
Snap clips in 9's, with minds more advanced than Einstein
And Murman, knock down walls like Berlin
Take it out, we can't get in, we can't win
We can't get out and we can't get in
We can't get out and we can't get in
We can't get out and we can't get in
We can't get out
See I, wrote up a composition, I made a decision
For competition, some invite lifestyles that I be livin'
With tribes I been in, with the little brothers that's sinnin'
So I started to vision, crack fiends formin'
On collision, my mind is in that position for soul fishin'
My only dream was to be a musician
Better yet a mortician, that's the life condition
'Cos everybody knows they gonna die, crackers they analyze
[Incomprehensible] plus I feels the vibe, mother cries
Plenty mothers that tries, now that she knows her son's gonna die
Take a trip, pass the lye, now ease
The mind escape from the crimes of New York times
'Cos I'm one of the brothers who made it throughout the others
The rotten apple's tryin' to break loose from these shackles
No doubt, I follow routes, guzzlin' Hennessey, mixed with style
In this ghetto, we can't get out, we can't win
We can't get out and we can't get in
We can't get out and we can't get in
We can't get out and we can't get in
We can't get out
Nothin' can stop the nation, elevation, daily operation
Since man creation, we increase the population
Proper education, got us tappin' in information
Preventin from gettin' locked under top-secret investigation
Guiliani's part of Illuminati
A million minds in one body designed to decline society
They wanna lease 1.2 billion deceased
While the rest is left with the mark of the beast on their domepiece
Prepare, the signs of the times now are near
That I'll wake scare, findin' Zaire, soon be here
So tune your ears, and be saved from a slave
'Cos in a matter of days I'm-a E-Q your brainwaves
AZ the visualiza is wise as Elijah
Here to advise ya, and bring out the realness that's up inside ya
Intoxication, my voice box rocks the nation

This won't be so hard to follow
You must replace your common sense
And then you won't find it's hard to swallow
Its been based on real events
You can only hear what you want to hear
They're wide awake and they're well aware
That they made you a promise that they won't keep
They're wide awake they can't afford to go to sleep
With no remorse or self respect
The course of course is the least direct
They choose to confuse a resource they'll use
Well if they don't win they still won't lose
A red cent or one thin dime
Been banking yours and been banking mine
They say this is the way that its always been
They may let you in but they'll never let you win
No way, no how, no
You can't win, no you'll never win
No how, no way, they
Might let you in, but they'll never let you win
They'll never let you win
What now please a word here to the wise
You'll need to read between the lines
You've got to dot your t's and cross your eyes
Cross your fingers when the print is fine
What you've got to do is stay one step ahead
They're wide awake while you're still in bed
They count the money while you count the sheep
They're wide awake they can't afford to go to sleep
(No way! No way, no how, no
You can't win, no you'll never win
No how, no way, they
Might let you in, but they'll never let you win
They'll never let you win (x2))
(No way, no how, no
You can't win, no you'll never win
No how, no way, they
Might let you in, but they'll never let you win
They'll never let you win (x2))

Y'all chicks ain't blind, I shine like polyeurotheme
Cocoa butter creme
That's the gleam of drugs baby like codeine
Low self esteem, eh-eh, the flows excellent
Your's is satisfactory return them to the factory
I mean practically, the shit is whack for me
Mama bear, finally out of hibernating
Here to tell you chicks to stop tailgating
It's the B-I-G-M-A-M-A
Often tipsy, cabin in Percipsy
I've been in this shit since Biz hit the, one-two
Nothing left to do
Move it in there, cathedral ceilings
Don't come to my house, it might hurt your feelings
P Diddy introduced me to the business side
Fired me a few mill and a couple of oil spills
That's how we do it, you chicks is no thrill
Doin' it Flinstones style, car with no wheels
Still on tricycles, riding bicycles
Our diamonds be so white they look like icicles
I'm getting sick and tired of hearing all these rough drafts
On the countdown, don't make me laugh
Got my own company, I'm chief of the staff
They say we twins then I'm the better half
I'm nasty worse than Howard Stern
This court is adjourned
And now it's your turn bitch
Can you feel me?
I just wanna know if y'all can feel me
I just wanna know if y'all can feel me out there
It's not a game, we're back
And this time we're not going anywhere
Number one, that's my bitch
Recognize! Ya feel me?

Such a hopeless deviate
A girl born way to late
All set to be set free
In a world of misery
When your tears run dry
Another finger's in your eye
And you tought you'd seen it all
It's so hard to make things right
You think you're getting closer
But it's alway out of sight
It will follow you to your end
It may not be bitter but it's hard to
comprehend, you cannot win
If it ain't is this you bet it's that
The stakesare high and chances fat
And if your time ain't runnig short
There's the wait you can't abort
Way down rock bottom low
There's another place belowe to go
And I thought I'd seen it all
It's so hard to make things right
You think you're getting closer
But it's alway out of sight
It will follow you to your end
It may not be bitter but it's hard to
comprehend, you cannot win
So you can stand and clench your fist
At a place that only may exist
Behind the 42 feet wall
Another 3 is standig tall
If my hands weren't tide
I swear I'd catch you in the rye
I'm sorry I can't take your fall
It's so hard to make things right
You think you're getting closer
But it's alway out of sight
It will follow you to your end
It may not be bitter but it's hard to

Welcome to the shrek room
Pull up a rust of bedsprings
Lighting up a torch to carry
Because the record player is broken
Yeah, I remember
When these crying tramps were king
When the gyrations, wild gyrations ruled
Pomp so full of reverberation treble
So high on the slap back
Drunk on Pomade, Lemonade,
Lime, Ricky Cherry, Wine and Pepsi Cola
Tented beef, padded meat,
Fake meat, Slim Jims, Doritos, beans
And Mulligan stew
Wonder six sweet romances
Melody and rhythm pounding insistent
Bizarre rituals to power the power
Wearing sideburns and shoe leather
And dead animal skin
Hey, if the suit smells, wear it
Town to town back room to ho down, (you can't win)
Hand outs and punch ups broken hearts and bad luck
Another empty house
Another shock transmission
You can't win
Carry an old worn photograph of an old lost love
Be Bop A Lula with a thump and a shove
Chattering and chattering clattering
Sing rockabilly tramp mischievous king
Nothing more now than memories and phantoms
Ghosts and spooks beware
Stay close to the fire
Sleep with your shoes on
You can't win
You can't win
Yes some people said something and some people died
You can't win sad tramp
Did you hear about Madison
Did you hear about Hamilton
16 hours trapped under a Pinto
14 days strapped down to a gurney
The face will never be the same
All the infamy, all the shame
The Octobeast files tonight
This country will never be the same
Remember good night
Remember tucking children into bed
Remember Betty Lou, Peggy Sue
Now just lookout for the cops
And watch out for the screw
So lost in the dream
Such a fine design
Disconnect from today
Bizarre rituals to power the powerful
Wonder and sin
Daily and hourly
A traitor for our money but our packets are empty
Promises that were held out have
Since been withdrawn

I never wanted to fall from the top of the world but here I am.
And now I am tired and fucking ugly
And I hate it but it's all I can be.
Locked up,
Fucked up
But I know I'm not the only one.
I hear that life goes on,
But I guess just not for everyone.
Consumed by bliss that now all I do is miss.
The memories can make me happy but now I'm fucking pissed!
Hopeless.
Irrationally searching every single dimension
To find a way to bring me closer to you.
It's night like these when my jaw is being pried off
The sides of my face
And it feels as if somehow I swallowed a fucking shoe.
I want to tear out my throat
So just for a minute
I might be able to finally breathe.
What has happened to me?
Not a day goes by when I didn't wish
I were still living in September 2005.
I never wanted to live this way or to feel this pain.
And I can't stop asking why.
Now I see that life is just a game.
Sometimes everyday with out you,
Is another day I wish I didn't have to go through.
It still hits me like a brick everyday and it will never go away.
I never wanted you to go away.
I hang my head deep into my chest,
Tormented to realize that for now this is the best.
I want my life back,
I want your life back more than anything.
I never wanted to fall from the top of the world but here I am,
And to some degree I always feel like shit because your...Gone, forever.
Gone, taken from me.
Gone, fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.
I used to think depression had nothing to do with me.
Now every day of my life I'm faced with despair and misery.
Because some dumb fucking asshole made some bad choices,
And he landed on you, and we all pay the price...

If you wanna bleed, then come along with me
We're only half breeds but we'll be home free
So mark your territory, 'cause it's on
Put your badge on, we're gonna mow 'em down
We've got a feelin', it's even breathin'
We know how cheap our freedom is
Put on my best white shirt, walkin' down the street like a speed ball
Purrin' like a cat out on early parole
Well, I'm taking them on, 'cause it's on
And every power abused, and every item consumed
Now it's on, 'cause it's on
The laws of history never led me on 'cause they're clear
'Cause it's on, and it's on
It's on
We are the police and now we're gonna start a riot
It's on
Now you'll see just how we're gonna start a riot
We are the police and now we're gonna start a riot
Don't know where to begin, it's all over again
And it's on, it's on
And if you think your free then you'd better believe
That it's on and it's on
And we'll drink anything if it burns and it's strong
'Cause it's on and it's on
And the crop of the cream, ain't gonna fuck with me
'Cause it's on and it's on
And we ain't gonna propagate for you
'Cause it's on, and it's on
We're gonna quit making money 'til it's taken care of
'Cause it's on and it's on
It's on
We are the police and now we're gonna start a riot
Saw it on TV and now we're gonna start a riot
We are the police and now we're gonna start a riot

What the man says is always right
He'll cuff your hands so you can't fight
There is no way of getting around it
He'll lock you up and in your head he'll pound it
Destruction is the only road you're headed for
There isn't any road behind those steel doors
You just can't win
Destruction is the only road you're headed for
There isn't any roads behind those steel doors
You just can't win
You can't win, you can't win
You can't win, you can't win

I'm so dope I'm impressing myself
Challenging rappers of my status dogg is bad for your health
It's like swallowing rat poison straight of the shelf
Or slitting your wrist then changing ya mind
But ain't no one around to help, dudes hear spit they like holy Toledo
Cuz when it comes to this rapping, I'm the one like Neo
I'm Jackie Chan, bet a hundred grand I could take out five of ya man's with one wave of my hand
Your whole caravan get smacked right in front of ya fans
I'll have screaming “No Mas” like Roberto Duran holla
They call me Boney Soprano, Young Luchiano, Bone Guevara
Raps Sammy the bull Gervano, I'm sick wit tha flow
Lyrical tactics and back flips, spitting ridiculous mathematics
Like it's gymnastics, when I die, be sure to place in my mic in my casket
And tell the world that I was fantastic, and that's it!

Chorus
Yall can't win, against us
If you try, we will bust
You should know, we're the truth
You can't do, what we do, oh
Opposing me could be detrimental like a skinhead wit a confederate flag
Walking through south central, it's suicidal like Kirk Cobain
Trapped in a thunder storm using God's name in vain, ouch!
Yall ain't really ready to riot wit me, I'm the Rocky of rap retiring rappers like Jay-Z
The Ronald Reagan of rapping yo that's me
