Lost One (feat. Chrisette Michele)

I heard muhfuckers sayin' they made Hov

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

**** wasn't playin' they day role

So we parted ways like Ben and 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 interests Day Glow

Ain't nothin' left to say though

I guess we forgot what we came for

Shoulda stayed in food and beverage

Too much flossin', Too much Stan Rothstein

I ain't a bitch but I gotta divorce them

Hov had to get that shallow shit up off him

And I ain't even want to be famous

**** 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, when you could 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

Lose one

Let go to get one

Get one

Lose some to win some

Story of a champion

Sorry, I'm a champion

You lost one

I don't think it's meant to be

For she loves the work more than she does me

And honestly at twenty-three, 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 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 this army is served

So I have to allow she, her time to serve

The times 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

Get one

Lose some to win some

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

But 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, shit

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 a part of it

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

To return when I lost you, I lost it

Lose one

Let go to get one

Get one

Lose some to win some

Colleek, I lost one

Story of a champion

Colleek, you're a champion

I lost one
