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
I lost my way, I lost my way
I lost my way, I lost my way
I lost my way, I lost my way

And tell the pastor to pray for me, I'm gone
Ayy 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, you know
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

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
I lost my way, I lost my way
I lost my way, I lost my way
I lost my way, I lost my way
