Your Loss lyrics - Busta Rhymes (feat. Mary J. Blige)

[Mary J. Blige:]

You said you wouldn't mind so I'll go on without ya

If you wanna shine, I'll bet you shine without me

Cause I been too good to let you take me down

[?] is that you drive me to drinking

I'm feeling good and really good about me

So now that I know how to get it for myself

This is really your loss

[Busta Rhymes:]

Now seen them was the days

When a nigga ain't ever really had shit

And a nigga might of stole some shit

Cause a nigga ain't ever really

Have a pot to piss inside of

I was kinda hard-headed

And I was the type

That'll quickly put the ratch up to you

Nigga being hard-headed

And they never learn

Till a mother fucker catch up to you

Older folk in the neighborhood

Did their very best to really come try teach us

Every time they'd bounce they return

Just to catch us on the corner smokin' them refers

Do a lot of dirt, do a lot of crime on the block for bread

While the older folk were on their way home from church

Every single time they'd see use they shakin' they head

At the time when a nigga really needed some money

Know a nigga really followed deception

All the older gangsters though a nigga needed direction

So when the gangsters looked at a little nigga

And they really seen they reflection

Niggas gave me the trey eight special

Said a nigga needed protection

A lot of mu'hfuckers that I thought I was cool wit'

Was kinda hatin' me under... the surface

Niggas really wished the worst for me

Like I'm 'posed to suffer

But I wish the best for a nigga like you

But what you don't know about me

Is that I'm really destined for this shit

Let's see you do it without me

[Mary J. Blige:]

You said you wouldn't mind so I'll go on without ya

If you wanna shine, I'll bet you shine without me

Cause I been too good to let you take me down

[?] is that you drive me to drinking

I'm feeling good and really good about me

So now that I know how to get it for myself

This is really your loss

[Busta Rhymes:]

Lemme get up on my hustle

And I hit the strip

When I whip it and I dip and I boast

Sometimes the street might

Try to bite a nigga that's why I drive with the toast

Sometime the block'll have a nigga feelin'

Like a nigga crept with a ghost

It's nothin' though cause you we been a hood

That's why we reppin the most

See the gutter life'll do it to you

All you niggas on the grind

And you go in to hustle for paper

Nigga watch these broke niggas try to bring it to you

No need to fight you to shine

Cause I was one of them

Hungry little hustlelin' niggas

Who always gotta think big

And you know a nigga stuck with the grind

I wonder if it's really for the better or for the worse

These niggas that you thought was the closest to you

End up becoming them niggas thats

Crossing the line first

So I take it

All inside cause I guess its all a part of our growth

You know I gotta keep my eyes on a lotta niggas that I always

Thought was my folks

Violate in any way

You think a nigga ain't gon' hurt you?

Just cause you bitch don't mean you can't catch it

Nigga better move from my circle

I wish the best for dudes like you

But what you don't know about me

Is that I'm really destined for this shit

Let's see you do it without me

[Mary J. Blige:]

You said you wouldn't mind so I'll go on without ya

If you wanna shine, I'll bet you shine without me

Cause I been too good to let you take me down

[?] is that you drive me to drinking

I'm feeling good and really good about me

So now that I know how to get it for myself

This is really your loss
