"Keep Winning and Repeat"

"Keep Winning and Repeat"

This one’s for the curly hair and melanin.

We out here suffering disease, we need the medicine.

We all fighting each cuz’ there’s something to win.

Long as those things around, it’ll happen again.

This ain’t no new trend

From how it’s looking right now, it’s real far from the end.

The heart, the mind, the soul are just some things we defend.

People saying they all cool, but we just know it’s pretend.

Look.

We out here playing checkers,

Going to war with one another just to see who is better.

You out here flexing all this change like you making that cheddar.

You only got with that girl to try to make her wetter.

Stay applying that pressure,

Bought all them clothes in the store just to prove you was fresher.

Trying to prove that you tough, but you soft as a feather.

It’s real sunny over here, you trying to mess up my weather.

Cuz’ these are some signs of somebody that’s jealous.

I’m just out here trying to grow and you hatin’ because I’m zealous.

Y’all trying to cast me out because I ain’t one to act reckless.

Y’all thinking that I’m soft because I ain’t want to act careless.

I just chose to stay away from the streets,

Keep on rhyming with these beats,

Cut them losses and defeat,

And keep winning and repeat.

Cut them losses and defeat

Keep winning and repeat

Cut them losses and defeat

Keep winning and repeat

In this game, we take ourselves through different zones.

Battle the unknown,

Sometimes on your own,

Dodging them big stones,

Trying to prove ‘em wrong,

All before our names put on them tombstones,

I’m on the search for the money.

When you don’t do it how they do it, then they act a lil funny.

When you trying to make a change, then they think you a dummy.

When they values ain’t you values, then they play you as phony.

Look.

I got them threads and stopped looking bummy.

This potential I got is scary like The Mummy.

That’s why when I’m around, they don't show love to me.

But then I’m long and gone, and they stay looking for me.

I done made my way to Tallahassee.

Dealt with all the times where somebody done trashed me.

Avoided all the times where somebody could blast me.

Aced all of them tests, put all of it past me.

Keep my heart warm when the weather cold.

And stand ten toes down and never fold.

Keep my mind right when I’m out here chasing the gold.

Keep on moving smart cuz’ I’m out here tryna’ grow old.

I been carrying my load,

I been came up with my code,

But now I’m in a different mode.

Now it’s time to uphold.

Now it’s time that I show,

Prove everything I know,

Shining with a different glow.

But I’m just out here doing good,

Coming straight from the hood,

Doing everything I could,

Giving back like Robin Hood,

On my Hollywood, baby.

Cut my losses and defeat

Keep winning and repeat

Cut my losses and defeat

Keep winning and repeat
