Losing Out

[Intro: The Alan Parsons Project sample]

For a minute

Whatever you think I think about what's been going on

Let's talk about

Let's talk about

You and your problems and all that it seems to do

When you spend the night

Just talking bout'

Just talking bout'

You and your problems no matter what I say

I can't get it right

Don't think about

[Chorus: The Alan Parsons Project sample]

Losing out

Other words is losing out

Other ones, losing out

Other words is losing out

Other ones, losing out

Other words is losing out

[Verse 1: Black Milk]

Let's talk about who's the most underestimated

Plus underrated city in this hip-hop game

Let's talk about

I don't know if these industry mofo's overlook us 'cause they might be afraid

They don't know if we get the spot like that

You might not get your spotlight back

For a couple decades

Let's talk about Auburn

A burn

Now it's De-twah's turn

Like Berry Gordy came back

Don't think about

Comparing us to another metropolitan area

Or anywhere on this globe

Let's talk about

Us breaking barriers spitting sick as malaria

Spitting, you not even spittin' a cold

Let's talk about

How they make the masses attracted to the wack like a magnet

It's a sad mission

Just talking 'bout

How I mastered these massive lyrics advanced

Like you in a class with a mathematician

Just think about losing out

[Interlude 1: Black Milk & Royce Da 5'9"]

Naw, you're not losing yet

We beat up beats like this all the time

You got a few more minutes of abuse

My nigga Royce where you at?

Right here my nigga

[Verse 2: Royce Da 5'9"]

Yes, let's talk about

I got more cases in a maw' fucking A-R clip

Than they got on our mayor

Let's talk about

If you from the "D" and you don't fuck with Hex

Trick or me then you prolly a square

Let's talk about the Metropolitan area

Venereal spitter, still Proof burial bitter

Poof

Talk about me

I'mma be on yo ass

Trouble sells, I will K I to the double L

Not think about tusslin' wit' a head buster

Who got mo' muscle than Cool J, double L hah

You get popped like that

Take off your whole top like BAP

Another body, what the hell

Let's talk about making nigga's hard earned money

Or us putting money on heads like I'm paying their barbers

Talking 'bout cotton mouth

Hangover, Range Rover

Seven fifty when I hit the streets, game over

Nigga, I ain't never losing out

[Interlude 2: Black Milk]

Naw, nope

It's almost over

I give you one last chance to keep up

Round three, nigga

[Verse 3: Black Milk]

Let's talk about the best, the worst

Started from birth

With the gift and the curse

Nah I'm just spitting the verse

Just to talk about

Whenever I'm spitting the verse

Feels like my words is splitting the Earth in two

Got 'em talking bout

Who's that rap dude that master soul clap move

When messing with the boom bap boom

Like the "D"

When the crack moves in the street

Niggas pull heat longer than Shaq's shoes

Don't think about

[Verse 4: Royce Da 5'9"]

Bringing out them ninas

Cause we bout to clean 'em out

Phone calls could lead to a red shirt

Ringing out

Gun shots Tec's *blllert*

Expert, leaning out

The window bringing my inner demon out

Talking 'bout how we got it mastered

The fact that

Whenever me and Black do a track, it's a classic

Talking 'bout my life, nigga

No sound realer rider with the four pound

Thriller like Mike, out
