Too Much to Lose

Intro

Ooh, they watchin' now...

Yeah, they watchin’...

Verse 1

Yo, I used to walk the pavement, head down low

Now the whip is tinted so they’ll never know

Who’s inside, plotting on the next five moves

Reading old texts, cutting off the loose crews

I saw the fake love, read it in their eyes

Same ones who left me, now they act surprised

Calculated risks, no simple roll of the dice

Paid the cost to be the boss, had to pay the price.

Pre-Chorus

Days in the struggle, nights in the rain

Got a vision, I ain't losing my aim

Kept it real, never playing those games

Now I'm up, and they calling my name

Chorus

Way too cold for the subtle moves

Racing down the road, got a point to prove

Watching enemies, yeah, I clocked those cues

Never lost my step, got too much to lose

Post-Chorus

Yeah yeah

Run it up, run it up

Yeah yeah

Run it up, run it up

Verse 2

City on lock, but my dreams unlocked

Still hear them doubts, but my faith don't stop

Stacking up wins from the base to the top

They said I couldn't, now they watching me pop

No time for hearsay, I’m on a new flight

They talkin' daylight, I'm working all night

Built this from bedrock, they see the highlight

But they never saw the grind, out of their sight.

Pre-Chorus

Days in the struggle, nights in the rain

Got a vision, I ain't losing my aim

Kept it real, never playing those games

Now I'm up, and they calling my name

Chorus

Way too cold for the subtle moves (so cold)

Racing down the road, got a point to prove (gotta prove)

Watching enemies, yeah, I clocked those cues

Never lost my step, got too much to lose (too much to lose)

Post-Chorus

Yeah yeah

Run it up, run it up

Yeah yeah

Run it up, run it up

Bridge

(Beat breaks down, becomes more melodic and soulful)

Some chase the paper 'til their soul is thin

And trade the kingdom that they found within

This legacy ain't built on bricks and gold

It's in the truth that you were brave to hold

So when the bright lights try to make you blind

Remember the rhythm that first calmed your mind

They can't erase the healing from the scar

A masterpiece is what you truly

Are-(Hold)....................(Echo out)

Chorus-Wide octave range

Way too cold for the subtle moves!

Racing down the road, got a point to prove!

Watching enemies, yeah, I clocked those cues!

Never lost my step, got too much to lose!

Outro

Run it up... but don't you lose yourself...

Don't you lose...

Got too much...

(Spoken, quietly)

Too much to lose.
