LOST (feat. Hopsin)

Look, self-awareness

Pride's a coat and, yes, I like to wear it

Buttoned up don't like to let no air in

With a pair of gloves that I hope doesn't perish

I discovered though when I get holes in them

And I let joy in, I'm in higher spirits

My mistakes are like a screaming parrot

Just repeating lyrics, I can barely bare it when I'm lost

Road is narrow

I'm looking down it like a gun's barrel

Aren't we all searchin' for the serum that could help us breathe and leave our state of peril?

All of us have made defensive scarecrows

That we scatter 'round our fields and treat like hero's

When they scare away the things that we should cherish

'Cause we're too embarrassed to admit that fear is that we're lost

Yeah, but what does it matter?

I get so combative, inside of me is a personal canvas

The paint can be splattered, get messy when I start to get rattled

The heart of a savage, I'm quiet when I lurk in the shadows

But somethin' don't add up, I don't wanna be over-dramatic

But look at the data, it's obvious that humans are fragile

We tend to get mad at the ones that call us out, but the fact is

We need someone that'll be honest when we fly off the handle

I admit I throw a fit when I begin to unravel

Keep my wits, been off the grid, but now I'm back in the saddle

My intent is not to rent, I like to own what I value

I could sit here on the fence or maybe pick up the paddle

I like to row against the current, that's the way that I travel

Opposite of what the grain does, got the brain of a rebel

Take initiative, I'm diligent on every level

I never could settle, I like to keep my foot on the pedal (Yeah)

I'd love to pack arenas and all

But what I really wanna do is learn to handle my thoughts

And put the reigns on 'em, show 'em I'm the one that's the boss

And pull 'em back when they get out of hand, I'm breakin' they jaws

I'm takin' the flaws that told me I could never evolve

Then pull a bane on 'em, ask 'em, "Oh, you think you're in charge?"

You oughta know better, ain't no way around it, I'm flawed

The traits that I want, they say I can't afford what it cost

But I manifested this

Failing's how you grow and learn your lessons, kids

Take the worst and try and make the best of it

'Cause when you fail, just know that it's a test and if

You can learn to pick yourself back up again

And train your brain to not be such a pessimist

It's OK to make mistakes just don't forget

That there's a high road, but I skip the exit when I'm lost (Lost)

Yeah

When I'm lost

When I'm lost

When I'm lost

When I'm lost

Lost

Wow, these burdens are heavy and I'm hopin' it don't bury me

I used to be joyful and skip so merrily

But now I'm too cautious and tip toe carefully

My mind left and it's nowhere to be found

Am I a big ol' parody?

'Cause it's no fair to me

And now I'm at the point where I'm spendin' a grand a week on hypnotherapy

Look, I'm tryna wash away my sins

I got a group of loved ones that ain't my friends

And if I ever take an L then they might grin

And they all wanna see me stay in the cage I'm in

So when it come to anybody, there's no trust for no one

Man, so what? My whole plans to go nuts

My shoulders ready for more shrugs

I'm gon' judge anybody tryna enter my circle with no love (Hol' up)

My sanity's gone, I'd rather be torn

From this planet they planted me on, yes, that's a reward

I'm actually bored with havin' a sore heart

It's torn apart from a family that I don't have anymore

(Now hol' up)

I was livin' so oblivious with millions

It really was a pity, huh? (A pity, huh)

It's kinda funny what a penny does mixed in with a mini buzz

(I feel stuck)

Life's got me by the neck with a blade against it (What?)

Guess I was runnin' late for the train and missed it (What?)

The only thing I feel is pain and vengeance (What?)

So I'ma act out like a ragin' misfit (What?)

And every verse I lay gon' stay sadistic (Yeah)

You wanna hate me? Good, great, terrific

You'll never see the day where my anger's dismissed

You better go and change your wishlist 'cause I

Yeah, manifested this

Do not treat me like some adolescent kid

I am prayin' to the Lord with the book of James, hopin' he gon' add my testament

This dark cloud, that's my residence

Demons knockin', I don't have to let 'em in

I don't made mistakes day to day, You probably can't relate

I just ain't the same when I'm lost

When I'm lost

When I'm, when I'm lost

When I'm lost

When I'm lost

Lost
