Life ain't fair, I've seen it so often.
Life ain't fair, I bought the lottery for the first time,
Twenty-five million winnings lodged in my bank account.
Life ain't fair, why 60% of my winnings taken out for taxes?
Life ain't fair, I got robbed at the ATM,
While withdrawing my last hundred.
Tell me why my robber spent my last on his trip to ATL?
Life ain't fair, I've seen it so often,
Drug dealers becoming millionaires,
While hardworking black men end up in coffins.
Strip clubs are amazing—flashing lights,
Expensive bottles, and one nights.
Life ain't fair, she's gotta shake that ass all night,
Do everything I like, just to make it through the night,
So she can work another night.
Life ain't fair, you can't even have a fair one
With the corniest niggas out here, might lose life.
If you ain't harm my kids, you aight.
Life ain't fuckin' fair!
But guess what?
Winners win and losses explain.
Just saw a homeless man utter,
"He gotta win in this game called life,
Fuck reminiscing, I gotta score this bitch by sudden plight."
I feel so lost and confused.
Like, how can you do me like that?
I don't know, man, at this point I'm just numb.
The last person who I thought would be here forever
Did exactly what they said they would never.
Such a dirty liar. In this game of no love,
I dare to be defiant.
Like, why you ripped my heart from my chest,
That's no way to show your might.
If my love was a jungle, you'd surely be the lion.
But there you go with my strength,
I pray to make it out this one alive.
Life ain't been fair, man, I tell you this time.
Niggas in jail for the same exact crimes another broda is free for,
But his family is wealthy, so get that nigga a bail on bond.
I know murderers, rapists, and drug dealers
Walking around scot-free,
While their soulless counterparts rot away.
Life ain't been fair lately.
And I'm going to tell you the last time to simmer down!
Likewise, I'm kindly asking you to grow up!
Life ain't fair, what do you want?
The world to not camp out and be upfront for you?
Never gonna happen!
Again, life ain't fair! You're too much!
Life ain't fair, but hell is living in resentment.
Like, should I be alive and warm or cold and heartless?
Life ain't never been fair.
If there weren't any fees, trust I'd be taking flights
Locally and overseas.
And though, I know life ain't fair for everyone equally,
And some of us gotta do wrong just to get right,
You can choose to be a broke nobody with lonely nights,
Or do wrongs, fuck human rights to ensure that check signs right
And that green beans stock right.
'Cause if life ain't fair, what's the price for human rights?
