Lost one

Lost one
Uh, uh, uh, uh
It´s not a this song, it´s just a real song
Feel me?
I heard motherfuc*** 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 w/ Marsha (Jay-Z)]
Lose one, let go to get one
Left one, lose some to win some (You lost one)
Sorry I´m 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)
Sorry I´m 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
