Lyrics
[Intro]
I've lost you (Feel like I should share some thoughts with y'all)
I've lost myself
Oh (I get so lost)
So easy, lost (I've lost myself, Heatmakerz, Crack Music)
[Verse 1]
Uh, sometimes, Father, my mind wanders
I ponder givin' up like why bother?
Tryna be a rhyme god when it's clear that my genre
Devolved, I stay to myself 'cause feelings I harbor
They try to spin into hate or divide, conquer
Another OG angry that father time caught up
See, integrity's lost, but you can find drama
Who cares what everything cost? Y'all can't buy honor
You plenty of Hennessy, opp is the enemy
I'm legacy, legacy, legacy, legacy
Know y'all like when shit get said repetitively
But I ain't have to say that once, they'll remember me
Can't get ahead of me chasin' bags your man caught
I've been in my bag since strings hangin' on JanSports
Was like that when Triple Facts was fat
Snap hats got snatched and real rap was real rap
[Chorus]
Sometimes, I feel like I lost you (Lost you)
'Cause I know I lost myself (I've lost myself)
This life is like a devil with a warning
I get so lost (Lost), it's so easy, lost (I've lost myself)
[Verse 2]
When they open the books, you'll see my name in it
The rapper from Brooklyn who played the game different
Could've sold out, made some extra change with it
But the way y'all remember me would've changed with it
So I chose the longer road to financial freedom
Tore down the smaller venues, not the coliseums
Went on rigorous tours that provide per diems
And no awards for the categories I should be in
Y'all sound like each other, you're jackin' the recipe
I'm legacy, legacy, legacy, legacy
Who are y'all to decide what my success will be?
Until y'all find my successor, you'll get the rest of me
Did it right for myself, no hundred millionaire
But I kept it a hundred, I'm in a million ears
Trust me, hella my peers more than well aware
So when I do step out, they know Joell in there, yaowa
[Chorus]
Sometimes, I feel like I lost you (Lost you)
'Cause I know I lost myself (I've lost myself)
This life is like a devil with a warning
I get so lost (Lost), it's so easy, lost (I've lost myself)
[Outro]
I've lost you
I've lost myself
Oh (I get so lost)
So easy, lost (I've lost myself)
