Jay-z Lost One Lyrics

Lost One Lyrics

It's not a diss song, it's just a real song

Feel me?



I heard *** sayin' they made Hov

Made Hov say, "Okay, so make another Hov"

*** wasn't playin' 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 nothin' left to say though

I guess we forgot what we came fo'



I shoulda stayed in food and beverage

Too much flossin', too much Sam Rothstein

I ain't a *** but I gotta divorce them

Hov had to get the shallow *** up off him



And I ain't even want to be famous

*** is brainless to unnecessarily go through these changes

And I don'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 become

I know I'm guilty of it too but not like them

You lost one



Lose one, let go to get one

Let one, lose some to win some

Sorry, I'm a champion, sorry, I'm a champion

You lost one



I don't think it's meant to be, B

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 we 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

Let one, lose some to win some

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



But time don't go back, it goes 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 ***



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 havin' your life restarted

Can't wait for your child's life, to be a part of it

So now I'm child-like, waitin' for a gift

To return when I lost you, I lost it



Lose one, let go to get one

Let one, lose some to win some

Sorry, I'm a champion, Colleek, you're a champion

I lost one
