No Hoodie (Nothin' To Lose)

[Intro]

This shit real

Half you niggas don't know how it feel

I ain't had nowhere to go, nowhere to go (I promise)

If you know what I know, I ain't had nowhere to go, nowhere to go (Nobody to call)

If you know what I know, I ain't had nowhere to go (Nobody to answer)

If you know what I know

[Verse 1: Dave East]

If you know what I know, I ain't had nowhere to go

Broke and it's 'bout to get cold

I slept in my hoodie, woke up on the train

I wanna rob everybody I know

The thoughts of a menace, I ain't been good in a minute

I'm stuck in the hood, I'm just sittin'

Mental been slippin'

And I ain't get invited to not one Thanksgiving dinner

I'm scared of the winter, New York can get colder than cold

Ask God to just open my soul

Fuck the system, no I don't wanna vote

Not to mention I do not own a coat (Nah)

It's freezin' my nigga

I don't got cash and no credit, no Amex or Visa, my nigga

Slept in my Jeep with the heat on, my nigga

I'm starvin' for real ain't no secret, my nigga

I was just tryna get my hands on the purp'

My man just got hit, I seen that on a shirt

And I got a felony, it's gon' be hard to get work

Fuck the judge, I hope your honor get murked

Nobody helpin' me, nobody there for me

Think of my momma, know she said a prayer for me

Pedestrians lookin' so scared of me

Think I need therapy, please before somebody bury me

None of these bitches will marry me

Watch how you stare at me (Watch)

I ain't got nothin' to lose so you better move carefully

Think I need therapy, please before somebody bury me

None of these bitches will marry me (I'm prayin')

Watch how you stare at me (Watch)

I ain't got nothin' to lose so you better move carefully

[Chorus: 070 Phi & Dave East]

Ain't got no hoodie on

Nothin' to eat, only dope on the stove that I'm cookin' on

Might take a life if you lookin' wrong

I'm feelin' cold, yeah, ain't got no home, yeah

Young nigga ain't got no heart

I was just tryna get out of the trap with no jacket, ain't know where to start

[Verse 2: Jay Electronica]

I mastered the dark nights, Christian Bale

Tryna find home like Dorothy Gale

In the land of the free and the home of the brave, well that's just cap, we lost in Hell

Walk the streets with no face and name

Nothin' left to do but embrace the pain

Wanderin' through this wilderness, while my only companion is hate and shame

Like Johnny Blaze it's fuck the world, while I walk the line like Johnny Cash

Trapped between this light and dark like Johnny Depp was in Donnie Bras'

Reagan to Trump, ain't nothin' changed

Politics is for the politicians

Full meltdown in this meltin' pot

While I roam the block with no pot to piss in

Guide me oh thy great Jehovah

Surrounded by these snakes and cobras

Constantly, I'm gettin' high, 'cause this life is too harsh to face it sober

One nation, under God, allegedly indivisible

Welcome to the American dream, where the homeless live invisible

[Chorus: 070 Phi & Dave East]

Ain't got no hoodie on

Nothin' to eat, only dope on the stove that I'm cookin' on

Might take a life if you lookin' wrong

I'm feelin' cold, yeah, ain't go no home, yeah

Young nigga ain't got no heart

I was just tryna get out of this trap with no jacket, ain't know where to start
