NF - LOST ft. Hopsin

[00:00.90] "LOST"

[00:02.14] (feat. Hopsin)

[00:16.39] Look

[00:17.64] Self-awareness, pride's a coat and yes, I like to wear it

[00:20.64] Buttoned up, don't like to let no air in

[00:22.64] With a pair of gloves, that I hope doesn't perish

[00:24.89] I discovered, though, when I get holes in 'em and I let joy in, I'm in higher spirits

[00:28.88] My mistakes are like a screamin' parrot

[00:30.64] Just repeatin' lyrics, I can barely bear it when I'm lost

[00:34.13] Road is narrow, I'm lookin' down it like a gun's barrel

[00:37.14] Aren't we all searchin' for the serum that could help us breathe and leave our state of peril?

[00:41.39] All of us have made defensive scarecrows, that we scatter 'round our fields and treat like heroes

[00:45.39] When they scare away the things that we should cherish

[00:47.14] 'Cause we're too embarrassed to admit that fear is that we're lost

[00:49.39] Yeah, but what does it matter? I get so combative

[00:51.88] Inside of me's a personal canvas, the paint can be splattered

[00:54.14] Get messy when I start to get rattled

[00:55.39] The heart of a savage, I'm quiet when I lurk in the shadows

[00:57.39] But somethin' don't add up, I don't wanna be overdramatic

[00:59.38] But look at the data, it's obvious that humans are fragile

[01:01.39] 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

[01:05.88] I admit I throw a fit when I begin to unravel

[01:07.64] Keep my wits, been off the grid but now I'm back in the saddle

[01:09.89] My intent is not to rent, I like to own what I value

[01:11.63] I could sit here on the fence or maybe pick up the paddle

[01:13.88] I like to row against the current, that's the way that I travel

[01:15.89] Opposite of what the grain does, got the brain of a rebel

[01:17.89] Take initiative, I'm diligent on every level

[01:20.13] I never could settle, I like to keep my foot on the pedal, yeah

[01:22.14] I'd love to pack arenas and all

[01:24.14] But what I really wanna do is learn to handle my thoughts

[01:26.14] And put the reins on 'em, show 'em I'm the one that's the boss

[01:28.14] And pull 'em back when they get out of hand, I'm breakin' they jaws

[01:30.14] I'm takin' the flaws, that told me I could never evolve

[01:32.39] Then pull a Bane on 'em, ask 'em, "Oh, you think you're in charge?"

[01:34.39] You oughta know better, ain't no way around it, I'm flawed

[01:36.39] The traits that I want, they say I can't afford what it cost

[01:38.89] But I, manifested this

[01:40.64] Failing's how you grow and learn your lessons, kids

[01:42.63] Take the worse and try to make the best of it

[01:44.88] 'Cause when you fail, just know it's a test and if

[01:46.89] You can learn to pick yourself back up again

[01:48.89] And train your brain to not be such a pessimist

[01:50.89] It's okay to make mistakes, just don't forget that

[01:53.39] There's a high road but I skip the exit when I'm lost

[01:55.64] Yeah

[01:58.64] When I'm lost

[02:03.39] When I'm lost

[02:07.14] When I'm lost

[02:08.89] When I'm lost, lost

[02:12.39] Wow, these burdens are heavy

[02:14.39] And I'm hopin' it don't bury me

[02:15.64] I used to be joyful and skip so merrily

[02:17.89] But now I'm too cautious and tip toe carefully

[02:19.89] My mind left and it's nowhere to be found

[02:22.64] Am I a big ol' parody?

[02:23.89] 'Cause it's no fair to me

[02:24.89] And now I'm at the point where I'm spending a grand a week on hypnotherapy

[02:27.89] Look, I'm tryna wash away my sins

[02:29.64] I got a group of loved ones that ain't my friends

[02:31.64] And if I ever take an L then they might grin

[02:33.64] And they all wanna see me stay in the cage I'm in

[02:35.89] So when it come to anybody, there's no trust for no one

[02:37.88] Man, so what? My whole plan's to go nuts

[02:40.14] My shoulders ready for more shrugs, I'm gon' judge

[02:42.13] Anybody tryna enter my circle with no love (Hol' up)

[02:44.64] My sanity's gone, I'd rather be torn from this planet they planted me on

[02:47.39] Yes, that's a reward, I'm actually bored with having a sore heart

[02:49.89] It's torn apart from a family that I don't have anymore (Now hol' up)

[02:52.88] I was livin' so oblivious with millions, it really was a pity, huh? (A pity, huh?)

[02:56.89] It's kinda funny what a penny does, mixed in with a mini buzz (I feel stuck)

[03:00.89] Life's got me by the neck, with a blade against it (What?)

[03:02.64] Guess I was runnin' late for the train and missed it (What?)

[03:04.63] The only thing I feel is pain and vengeance (What?)

[03:06.64] So I'ma act out like a raging misfit (What?)

[03:08.89] And every verse I lay gon' stay sadistic (Yeah)

[03:10.89] You wanna hate me? Good, great, terrific (Good)

[03:12.89] You'll never see the day where my anger's dismissed

[03:14.88] You better go and change your wishlist 'cause I

[03:18.14] Yeah, manifested this

[03:19.13] Do not treat me like some adolescent kid

[03:21.14] I am praying to the Lord with the Book of James hopin' he gon' add my testament

[03:25.14] This dark cloud, that's my residence

[03:27.39] Demons knockin', I don't have to let 'em in

[03:29.39] I done made mistakes, day to day, you probably can't relate

[03:32.89] I just ain't the same when I'm lost

[03:35.13] Yeah

[03:37.14] When I'm lost

[03:40.39] When I'm, when I'm lost

[03:45.64] When I'm lost

[03:47.39] When I'm lost, lost
