Lost+ (with Jay-Z)

Just because I'm losing

Doesn't mean I'm lost

Doesn't mean I'll stop

Doesn't mean I'm across

Just because I'm hurting

Doesn't mean I'm hurt

Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserved

No better and no worse

I just got lost

Every river that I tried to cross

Every door I ever tried was locked

Oh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off

You might be a big fish

In a little pond

Doesn't mean you've won

'Cause a long may come a bigger one

And you'll be lost

Every river that you tried to cross

Every gun you ever held went off

Oh, and I'm just waiting 'til the firing stopped

Oh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off (Yeah, just waiting 'til the, the, yeah)

Uh-huh, I gotcha, uh, yeah

With the same sword they knight you, they gon' goodnight you with

Shit, that's only half if they like you

That ain't even the half what they might do

Don't believe me, ask Michael

See Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome

See Jesus, see Judas

See Caesar, see Brutus, see success, is like suicide

Suicide, it's a suicide

If you succeed, prepare to be crucified, uh

Media meddles, niggas sue you, you settle

Every step you take, they remind you, "You're ghetto"

So, it's tough being Bobby Brown

To be Bobby then, you have to be Bobby now

And the question is, "Is to have had and lost

Better than not having at all?" Because I'm-

Oh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off

Oh, and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off
