doing it in the house like this
|
going out to the lost souls
|
doing this for you and yours
|
comin' straight to you from the Guru and the crew
|
|
Chorus: Guru
|
|
to the lost souls
|
I hope you find your way someday
|
that's why I sit and I pray
|
for the lost souls
|
I hope you find your way someday
|
that's why I sit and I pray
|
|
Verse 1: Guru
|
|
sometimes I wonder why
|
some people can't see what's beyond the naked eye
|
so therefore I must fortify
|
techniques of communication
|
for beyond what is considered to be
|
normal conversation
|
so I need some proper 'ticipation
|
am I giving what you need
|
yes true indeed
|
as greed grows like weed
|
many bad seeds start to contaminate the crop
|
I think that needs to stop hops
|
brothers are slain over respect and clout
|
while thier mothers're trying to figure out
|
what's it all about
|
but when you give up on self that's when you lost
|
cause you're playing with your life
|
like it's a coin toss
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Verse 2: Guru
|
|
no doubt I release a form of speech
|
relative to urban outreach
|
transmitted messages to each true listener
|
rhymes divine but rough
|
like the skin on blisters
|
cause the truth hurts
|
plus I got no time for runnin' around chasin' skirts
|
so see my sound is a corrector
|
a profound lecture
|
quality texture
|
that's because of what I see
|
alot of mc's are gassed like hellium
|
word up g
|
alot of people in general are straight up no good
|
makes me wanna shoot 'em
|
aiyo maybe I should
|
but instead I parlay
|
maintain self control
|
and say a prayer for the lost souls
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Verse 3: Guru
|
|
get up stand up
|
come on
|
stand up for your right
|
one two
|
I go to new heights with my insight
|
whipping my mic tight
|
with the height of a scholar
|
equipped with the gift to make crazy dollars
|
but that ain't the whole
|
see my heart is in it
|
that's the only way one could even attempt to win it
|
dj spin it while others critique
|
but the science makes 'em weak
|
check the words that I speak
|
see it's ridiculous for us
|
not to discuss
|
the real issues
|
like all you phonys
|
and why I dis you
|
dismiss you as a lost soul
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Outro: Jason Kay of Jamiroquai/Guru
|
|
if you don't watch where you step
|
you can become indirect
|
and you know that you will lose your soul
|
and if you truly want to lose
|
until there's nothing to choose
|
then you know that you will lose your soul
|
|
to the lost soul
|
I hope you find your way someday
|
so I sit and I pray
|
for the lost soul
|
I hope you find your way someday
|
|
lose it
|
you can lose it
|
you can lose it
|
you can lose your soul
|
|
to the lost soul
|
|
hope you find your way
|
|
I hope you find your way someday
|
