Lost

[Verse 1:] You start tough, just waiting to go Up top to the spot where you waved below And they say the stage is made to stay, and so It's all fitted, sights with no limit above And in the beginning never giving a fuck This time we'll be living it up, or so he thinks I think "Well if that's an insult Is that the kid's fault to act on impulse?" No Of course not, you see we dream Of what we see on the TV screen 'Cos we believe what we see when we're young I guess two year old and the threes are enough You just see all this stuff, and just sit down upon it Think "I don't know why, but shit now I want it" I gotta have it, it's like a magnet That acts as a force that attracts you towards it He can't afford it, but he knows that The way he's rapping will make it all happen In time and when it's time to go He won't be looking back on what's behind, he knows So those who hate will slowly fade and all of Those who gave him hope will stay, yeah He's in a fight for the top But the price that he wants is a lie his pride won't find 'cos he's lost [Hook:] In the world of the stars with the girls and the cars He's lost, yeah And he wants that dream, but he's unable to see He's lost Now on the road they mapped so there's no way back He's lost Lost [Verse 2:] Now he's got his sights on the shine of the bright lights With his eyes blinded by the high life And for the right price, now he's Ready to sign on the dots of the enemy's line He's a pen kid, heaven, it's fine It's just a contract saying that "you're letting us buy All the rights to your life 'till you're seventy-five" 'Cos the music you make, well it says that it's mine But as a kid, nah, he didn't hear that He just heard "advance" and that means real cash That he can use to show all the people he made it And fuck work, now he's gonna be famous And rap flows out his packed shows Knowing people had came, screaming his name Up in his head, he's just trying to prepare for when he's there Why, because he's still not aware that he's lost [Hook:] In the world of the stars with the girls and the cars He's lost, yeah And he wants that dream, but he's unable to see He's lost Now on the road they mapped so there's no way back He's lost Lost [Verse 3:] Ok, the mic's on, fans watch him wait Everyone's listening, what to say? He's got ideas all across the page But he won't be using none of them, not today Why? Because I don't care what he tells himself All I care about is trying to make this album sell And now it's too late to yell for help Because he signed that contract And it's a con, fact He's gotta do what he's told And let him use up his soul so the units are sold Why would they let the music evolve When it's safer to just fit the usual mould Plus he's the one who loses the whole lot Like if it fails, he's locked in a jail Now where it's hard to think He needs to write songs, but he can't begin Now feeling the pressure raise and his effort fade He's downward in a hole left with less to say No way it's getting better, when you're telling him Pez now set to thinking "when will it end?" If only he could just take the time back And make it right, life is sacred like that All he wanted was a hall with the fame instead Now he's just another pawn in the game who got lost [Hook:] In the world of the stars with the girls and the cars He's lost, yeah And he wants that dream, but he's unable to see He's lost Now on the road they mapped so there's no way back He's lost Lost
