Lost

I was lost but now I'm found I was gone but I'm here now Whole lotta niggas tried to count me out Whole lotta niggas tryna see me down Don't give a f*ck about no cowards We finesse shit and show power We on they turf like it's ours we on they field smokin' sour I've seen niggas bout lose they life I've seen niggas lose all they rights Angels fallin' from the highest heights Niggas froze in the brightest lights Young mommas bury first born babies Grandmas raising grandkids through they 80s Curses passed right on to the children All this trauma just steady relaying All this temptation in the world ya see Somebody pray for me If I let myself go down them roads What would I come to be And this life forever changing I can't see sit too comfortably I can't get lost inside in my mind I pray that I stay free Open my journal, stare at these blank pages, as my mind freeze in spaces Tryna figure out the words, get right on the pacing, dawg I'm losing my patience Ima spark me up a j, and let the beat play, awww I got me cadence Figure out what Ima say, as my head sway awww my mind now racing Listen to me as I speak Talking things that I peep Spread the word to streets Gotta educate the peeps Sell you game for the cheap Gotta know you got god in ya heart Gotta know you a god from the start Gotta know you can glow in the dark Gotta know you can shine like the stars Gotta know if you loved, you hated, if you destroy, you're creating I was forged by the fires, and if I desire, I'm beating the demons facing Tell my parents that I'm gracious Long days that I waited, pulled myself out the basement, rose grew from the pavement, my rise understated yeah I was lost but now I'm found I was gone but now I'm here now
