[Verse 1]
What is our life comin' to, my respected brothers and sisters?
You say you can't focus it's hopeless 'cause I've been missin'
But here I am so deep in the streets you thought I was livin'
I found myself braggin' on the cards I was given
But this ain't life, I need Islam 'cause I'm just a n***a
Won't wanna leave this time, shit never leave the nine, n***as trippin'
You used to bring the line, you's a fiend this time, life's different
Never leave my mind, repeat the crime on beats like this one
Close your beak, listen to a G over the rhythm
We must link, shit that make you think that's all that I give 'em
Probably slap the grill out your mouth 'cause I don't feel ya

[Chorus]
It's hopeless, for real, am I the dopest for real?
Or just a coke pusher, huh? Hopin' I live?
It's hopeless, for real, am I the dopest for real?
Or just a coke pusher, huh? Hopin' I live?
It's hopeless, for real, am I the dopest for real?
Or just a coke pusher, huh? Hopin' I live?
It's hopeless, for real, am I the dopest for real?
Or just a coke pusher, huh? Hopin' I live?

[Verse 2]
I'm out here every day stressin' and shit
Can't jump in the car without the weapon and shit
Waitin' on a problem 'cause I'm hard as a brick
You n***as say you trill, but we as real as it get
Out the window with the pistol 'bout to empty a clip
Reload, jump up out the low, empty out again
We rarely live to be old men 'cause there's so much against us
Gotta ride for my n***as, but we killin' each other
I think about it all the time, but I can't do nothin'
All happen, just tryna grind just tryna be someone
Just tryna get my family out the slums why I'm hustlin'
Gotta be a reason why my heart still pumpin'
I seen a man today, I think he tried to tell me somethin'
I thought about Pac and what he used to rhyme about
More than just a thug 'cause he really tried to find it out
[Chorus]
It's hopeless, for real, am I the dopest for real?
Or just a coke pusher, huh? Hopin' I live?
It's hopeless, for real, am I the dopest for real?
Or just a coke pusher, huh? Hopin' I live?
It's hopeless, for real, am I the dopest for real?
Or just a coke pusher, huh? Hopin' I live?
It's hopeless, for real, am I the dopest for real?
Or just a coke pusher, huh? Hopin' I live?

[Verse 3]
I went to jail, they gave me a county year
Still was on some grimy shit, but studied Islam in there
Read a few books, tryna get through my time in there
Met a few crooks, swear the n***as can rhyme in here
Rapped about our cases tryna get out and shine again
The life of Muhammad, Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam
Changed my state of mind, read the pages all night long
Different stages, he went on on his journey through Jenner
That's so deep, I hold back 'cause you're just a beginner
I read Behold a Pale Horse, they got a plan for humanity
On the field with the torch barely cock it's insanity
Tryna deal with the voice that whispers in my heart
I took my Shahada and begged Allah it would stop
The more I embraced Islam the more I got sharp
I'm sick of wastin' time so was lifted from the dark
The Deen teachers kill the sickness of the heart
[Chorus]
It's hopeless, for real, am I the dopest for real?
Or just a coke pusher, huh? Hopin' I live?
It's hopeless, for real, am I the dopest for real?
Or just a coke pusher, huh? Hopin' I live?
It's hopeless, for real, am I the dopest for real?
Or just a coke pusher, huh? Hopin' I live?
It's hopeless, for real, am I the dopest for real?
Or just a coke pusher, huh? Hopin' I live?
