  • Jay-Z Lost One Lyrics

           

    (feat. Chrisette Michele)

    Uh, uh, uh, uh
    It's not a this song, it's just a real song
    Feel me?

    I heard motherfuckers saying they made Hov
    Made Hov say, "OK so, make another Hov"
    Niggaz wasn't playing 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 nothing left to say though
    I guess we forgot what we came fo'
    Shoulda stayed in food and beverage
    Too much flossing
    Too much Sam Rothstein
    I ain't a bitch but I gotta divorce them
    Hov have to get the shallow shit up off him
    And I ain't even want to be famous
    Niggaz is brainless to unnecessarily go through these changes
    And I ain'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've become
    I know I'm guilty of it too but, not like them
    You lost one

    [Chorus w/ Marsha (Jay-Z)]
    Lose one, let go to get one
    Left one, lose some to win some (You lost one)
    Story of a champion, sorry I'm a champion
    You lost one

    I don't think it's meant to be, be
    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 B, 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
    Left one, lose some to win some (Oh yeah, she lost one)
    Story of 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
    Time don't go back, it go 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, shit
    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 having your life restarted
    Can't wait for your child's life, to be a part of it
    So now I'm child-like, waiting for a gift
    To return, when I lost you, I lost it

    Lose one, let go to get one
    Left one, lose some to win some (Colleek, I lost one)
    Sorry I'm a champion, Colleek, you're a champion
    You lost one
