Origineel
[Verse 1]
Ain’t got no riches, ain’t got no money that runs long
But I got a heart that’s strong and a love that’s tall
Ain’t got no name, ain’t got no fancy education
But I can see right through, a powdered face on a painted fool
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me slip through (Let me slip through)
Why you tryna hold me back? (I ain’t)
I’m just tryna move up front
Lil more of this, lil less of that (Can you feel me?)
Let me come through (Let me come through)
I’m tired being in the back (Aight)
I’m just tryna move up front
A lil more of this, a lil less of that, yeah
[Chorus]
They tell me I was born to lose
But I made a good good thing out of bad bad news
[Verse 2]
I don’t worry, don’t worry, don’t worry about people in my face
I hit ‘em with the style and grace, and watch their ankles break
I know you wish, I know you wish I would fade away
But I got more to say, Lord they pray
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me slip through (Let me slip through)
Why you tryna hold me back? (I ain’t)
I’m just tryna move up front
Lil more of this, lil less of that (Can you feel me?)
Let me come through (Let me come through)
I’m tired being in the back (Aight)
I’m just trynna move up front
A lil more of this, a lil less of that, yeah
[Chorus]
They tell me I was born to lose
But I made a good good thing out of bad bad news
[Post-Chorus]
Alright alright, all day all night
Alright alright, all day all night
Alright alright, all day all night
Alright alright, all day all night
[Chorus]
They tell me I was born to lose
But I made a good good thing out of bad bad news

[Verse 1]
Ain’t got no riches, ain’t got no money that runs long
But I got a heart that’s strong and a love that’s tall
Ain’t got no name, ain’t got no fancy education
Maar ik kan er dwars doorheen kijken, een gepoederd gezicht op een geschilderde dwaas
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me slip through (Laat me erdoor)
Why you tryna hold me back? (Dat doe ik niet)
I’m just tryingna move up front
Lil more of this, lil less of that (Kun je me voelen?)
Let me come through (Laat me erdoor)
I’m tired being in the back (Aight)
I’m just tryna move up front
A lil more of this, a lil less of that, yeah

They tell me I was born to lose
But I made a good thing out of bad bad news
[Verse 2]
I don’t worry, don’t worry, don’t worry about people in my face
Ik raak ze met stijl en gratie, en zie hun enkels breken
I know you wish, I know you wish I would fade away
Maar ik heb meer te zeggen, Heer ze bidden
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me slip through (Laat me erdoor)
Why you tryna hold me back? (Dat doe ik niet)
I’m just tryingna move up front
Lil more of this, lil less of that (Kun je me voelen?)
Let me come through (Laat me erdoor)
I’m tired being in the back (Aight)
I’m just trynna move up front
A lil more of this, a lil less of that, yeah

Oké, oké, de hele dag, de hele nacht
Oké, oké, de hele dag, de hele nacht
Goed, goed, de hele dag, de hele nacht
Alright alright, all day all night
[Chorus]
They tell me I was born to lose
But I made a good thing out of bad bad bad news
