Lost One (feat. Jay-Z)

Uh, uh, uh, uh

It's not a dis song, it's just a real song

Feel me?

I heard motherfuckers saying they made Hov

Made Hov say, "OK so, make another Hov"

Niggaz wasn't playing they day role

So we parted ways like Ben and J-Lo

I shoulda been did it but I been in a daze though

I put friends over business end of the day though

But when friends, business interests as they go

Ain't nothing left to say though

I guess we forgot what we came fo'

Shoulda stayed in food and beverage

Too much flossing

Too much Sam Rothstein

I ain't a bitch but I gotta divorce them

Hov have to get the shallow shit up off him

And I ain't even want to be famous

Niggaz is brainless to unnecessarily go through these changes

And I ain't even know how it came to this

Except that fame is

The worst drug known to man

It's stronger than, heroin

When you could look in the mirror like, "There I am"

And still not see, what you've become

I know I'm guilty of it too but, not like them

You lost one

[Chorus]

Lose one, let go to get one

Left one, lose some to win some (You lost one)

Story of a champion, sorry I'm a champion

You lost one

I don't think it's meant to be, be

But she loves her work more than she does me

And honestly, at twenty-three

I would probably love my work more than I did she

So B, ain't we

It's me, and her

'Cause what she prefers over me, is work

And that's, where we, differ

So I have to give her

Free, time, even if it hurts

So breathe, mami, it's deserved

You've been put on this earth to be

All you can be, like the reserves

And me? My time in the army, it's served

So I have to allow she, her, time to serve

The time's now for her

In time she'll mature

And maybe we, can be, we, again like we were

Finally, my time's too short to share

And to ask her now, it ain't fair

So yeah, she lost one

Lose one, let go to get one

Left one, lose some to win some (Oh yeah, she lost one)

Story of a champion, sorry I'm a champion

You lost one

My nephew died in the car I bought

So I'm under the belief it's partly my fault

Close my eyes and squeeze, try to block that thought

Place any burden on me, but please, not that lord

Time don't go back, it go forward

Can't run from the pain, go towards it

Some things can't be explained, what caused it?

Such a beautiful soul, so pure, shit

Gonna see you again, I'm sure of it

'til that time, little man I'm nauseous

Your girlfriend's pregnant, the lord's gift

Almost lost my faith, that restored it

It's like having your life restarted

Can't wait for your child's life, to be a part of it

So now I'm child-like, waiting for a gift

To return, when I lost you, I lost it

Lose one, let go to get one

Left one, lose some to win some (Colleek, I lost one)

Sorry I'm a champion, Colleek, you're a champion

You lost one
