Lose Yourself (feat. Eli Rebich & Alpha Riff)

[Hook: Eli Rebich] Long nights with your head in the clouds Your mercy's been your mission and your plan to break out You gotta lose yourself It's okay to lose yourself [Verse 1: Granyte] Lost my way, now I'm just trying to make it back Always going in circles, man my life's a racing track Still not a Christian, but I doubt I'll take a pagan's path Feels like I'm melting, I don't know what to make of that Constantly falling to pieces like I'm fucking made of wax Not how my brain reacts to these greater plans Me getting on stage is sometimes considered a heinous act I just wanna be myself, I'm trying to regain some fans Hurt so many people, just wanna take it back And deep down that shit hurts more than my aching back But I'm just a man, slowly changing into a brainiac I'm doing everything in my power to try and make it fast I'm still getting over this shit, get my baby back So I can feel complete again, man, don't make me laugh I can see the path, you know how much I hate to brag But it's one foot in front of the other just to make it back [Hook: Eli Rebich] Long nights with your head in the clouds Your mercy's been your mission and your plan to break out You gotta lose yourself It's okay to lose yourself [Verse 2: Alpha Riff] Once believed that my life could be written down in chapters But these characters and plots were just dreams that I was after When the tales were over and done, I lost a part of myself Wrote a new page and now it's gone, it's gotta be something else Cause, I'm reliving and retelling the constant memories Just reflections of myself cause I had no voice to speak I was meek, and I hated everything Most of all this black man, in the mirrors I would see But you couldn't show me what I was living for Head in my hands, parents fought just a little more Now here comes me again, when the tense and the certain Christians, Muslims, Jews and finally Wiccans Took lessons from all of them in the hopes I could quicken My basic understanding of what it meant to be human What I learned is that you can't, you gotta live it In those night talks with my very own spirit Not remembering just what it is I am saying Nothing to do with robes, bowing, and praying Cause death was once my constant companion And self-hate, was the symbol for slaying What devolved from my eyes and I can see it's mine My skin and sex don't make me, cause who am I? But the light, that shines from my heart and makes you blind Mortal with the final grip and it won't take me apart until it's time [Hook: Eli Rebich] Long nights with your head in the clouds Your mercy's been your mission and your plan to break out You gotta lose yourself It's okay to lose yourself x2
