Lee Jackson - Hopeless lyrics

[Verse 1: Amarii Davu] Look I'm at the bottom of the barrel Staring at a barrel My bedroom could be painted The colors of them Christmas carols Red and white, red and white Man it's the perils Of a young n***a Just trying to survive in Ameri-ca In the mirror like "I done seen clearer nights Reigned king in the biggest fights But this one gone take my life Cause if I ain't spittin' tight Then how I'ma get that flight?" See, I'm tryna reach the sky And them n***as gon' ask me why I'm building my spaceship To f** what a hater say Cause when that spaceship lift Get the f** out my f**ing face Well, let all the engines blaze See, I'm laying the trail I blaze And I'm pacing to take the race Then I put that cake in your face Anna Mae, all these rappers fake Now how they gon' vibe to that? When they ain't talking from their souls Man, they'd rather recycle tracks Give it back cause you never know That half of these n***as done sold Their souls on the low, but still [Hook: Auriel] They say I'm hopeless As a penny with a hole in it They say I'm no less Than up to my head in it They say I'm hopeless Hopeless, hopeless Up to my head in it Up to my head in it [Verse 2: Amarii Davu] Everybody's a critic These critics can go to hell Tryna martyr a gimmick Whose lyrics cannot prevail This pa**ion sewed in my soul These stitches stitched in with gold You criticizing my living Just listen and you would know I'm architecting the technicalities Of wicked game Tryna shine on my light But they're telling me, "Dim them brain!" sh**! I can't do it All I needed was music To rest the stress and the questions When alcohol got abusive Spazzing out and I lose it Sometimes, it's crazy in minds Filled up with landmines You're blowing my lines Off, like these ain't them diamonds You wanted to shine from They say that my time come One in a million chances I'll be dancing With the stars just from penning bars I got my hand on my balls Like I'm cupping the globe And I'm spitting my soul To these judges in robes This is Judges and Job In urban lyrical flesh I must be hurting the rest They put my purpose to test I got to murder, that "X" I put it right on your chest Like, I'm digging for something I'm seeing it's nothing I'm fiending for something Dreaming of coming from nothing They say I'm Hopeless [Outro: Lee Jackson & Auriel]
