Lost My Way - Lecrae, King Mez, Daniel Day

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 (x8)

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?

I 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

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

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 Heli for nothing, I hate this gunplay

I can only talk to you from my soul, it’ll pay off one day

One thousand, 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 faking, whipping 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
