Lost One Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I heard muthaf***as sayin? they made Hov?
Made Hov say ?OK, so, make another Hov??
Niggas wasn't playin? they day role
So we parted ways like Ben & J-Lo
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 interest is day-glo
Ain't nuffin left to say though, I guess we forgot what we came for

Shoulda stayed in food and beverage, too much flossing
Too much Sam Rawstein, I ain't a bitch but I gotta divorce them
Hov had to get the shallow s*** up off him
And I ain't even want to be famous
Niggas is brainless to unnecessarily go through these changes
And I don't even know how I came to this
Except that fame is the worst drug known to man
It's stronger than heroin, but you can look in the mirror like 'there I am?
And still not see what you become
I know I'm guilty of it too, but not like them
You lost one?.

[Chorus]
Let go to get one (get one)
Lose some to win some
Story of a champion
Sorry I'm a champion
You lost one

[Verse 2]

I don't think it's meant to be (B?)
For she loves her work more than she does me
And honestly at 23 I would probably love my work more than I did she
So we ain't we, it's me and her
Cause what she prefers over me is work
And that's where we defer, 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 timing is on me it serves
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 I ask her now it aint fair?

[Chorus]
Let go to get one (get one)
Lose some to win some
Story of a champion
Sorry I'm a champion
You lost one

[Verse 3]

My nephew died in the car I bought
So under the belief it's partly my fault
Close my eyes and squeeze, try to block that thought
Place any burden on me, PLEASE NOT THAT LORD
Time don't go back, it goes 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 (s***?)
Gonna see you again, I'm sure of it
Till 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 apart of it
So now I'm childlike waitin? for a gift
To return, when I lost you, I lost it

[Chorus]
Let go to get one (get one)
Lose some to win some
Story of a champion
Colleek you're a champion
I lost one
