[Hook: Daniel Daley]
|
Running, running 'til the fear is gone, don't know where I'm going
|
Don't know if I'll make it home, tell Mama I'm sorry
|
I know that I've made mistakes, tell her it ain't easy
|
I'll see her on judgment day, I lost my way
|
I lost my way, yeah, I lost my way, yeah [x4]
|
|
[Verse 1: Lecrae]
|
And tell the pastor to pray for me, I'm gone
|
Ay look, tell my mom and my partners who knew me since I was younger
|
I'm 'bout to sell out for fame and a couple dollars
|
Probably seen me on TV, standing with girls in bikinis
|
Bragging on money and things that I had to borrow
|
They knew it, I blew it, fame and fortune got to me
|
Keeping it real will keep you broke, I'm out here looking for glue
|
You wanted real hip-hop, I'm sorry
|
'Cause this VIP is free and all these girls want to party
|
So, super producer, pop singer, plus the yola
|
Now they got my record spinning, trying to sell you cola
|
Ah man, what happened? Started moving too fast
|
Traded the craft for the cash so now you do the math
|
Subtract the heart and the art you make for the people
|
You end up with a whole lot of zeros feeling like a zero
|
I use to be a hip-hop hero, now I'm just a victim of my ego
|
I lost my way, yeah, I lost my way
|
Mama, tell 'em I lost my way
|
Lord, I lost my way, yeah
|

[Interlude: King Mez]
|
Crazy can't nobody relate to nothing real no more
|
They want something fake, they want something fabricated, it's crazy
|
Can't nobody relate when I say, when I say
|
|
[Verse 2: King Mez]
|
When I say riding in the Hyundai, happy it's the weekend
|
'Cause I know Verizon won't disconnect my cell on a Sunday
|
They killed my Uncle [?] for nothing, I hate this gunplay
|
I can only talk to you from my soul, it'll pay off one day
|
[?] I got to be like an open book, we're spitting
|
It ain't the car you drove, it's the road you took to get it that defines you
|
Forget all that [?] and soda
|
Spending their life savings in front of a club promoter
|
Like they got it like that, man that's a kid on that car
|
Acting like he bought it like that, you only get me so far
|
You ain't no artist like that, art ain't loud, it's thought provoking
|
And often the biggest words come from those who are softer spoken
|
For the ice and the cream they be Baskin' and Robbin'
|
At gunpoint, they love it, I pray you ain't walking beside 'em
|
At one point, we fought together, made 'em stop all they lies
|
But now we lie to ourselves in that we don't realize
|
Lord, help us
|
