I've lost myself, my spirit's getting weaker, disappearing, I've lost myself, I've lost myself My spirit's getting weaker, disappearing in the mirror, I've lost myself, I'm falling from my calling, I'm fading fast Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get yours, Along with all the hit songs, slick clothes, and big dough, It's a little man with red horns and a pitchfork, Like you've ever shoo-in with no ripcord, Heads up junior, ain't no tellin' what you in for, It's temptation everywhere, Does anybody even care? Finest chick I've seen in my lifetime, Grabbed me by the hand, invited me to do them white lines, Hiya baby, hiya baby, She and I both know this will lead to something much more crazy, It's the *** I deal with every night and daily, Life is so delicate, I'll have you seein' stripes and paisleys, God please come and save me, Can't make it on my own, All I need is just a little gravy I've lost myself, My spirit's getting weaker, disappearing in the mirror, I've lost myself, I'm falling from my calling, I'm fading fast I can't believe how much they payin' me, These vultures try to prey on me, What would granddad say to me, Seein' what became of me, The things I used to hate, Well now they seem okay to me, On the verge of doin' things I've always dreamed, But will this urge get between me and what I can achieve? God tell me what I oughta do, Is anybody listenin' to what I'm sayin' on the phone? I'm a man, I ain't a cockatoo, I can't repeat everything you say and go and copy you, I'm feelin' pressure to be bougie, Just because I made a few G's, Made a couple movies, Made me date a couple groupies, Hell yeah, I'm moody, Man, this *** is so confusing, Sometimes I pray for a meltdown, At least I'd have a good excuse for me to get myself out, When I was younger, I used to wonder why, People in the public eye, Always lose their ***in' minds, Now I'm comin' up on thirty-five, They ain't teach this *** at Berkeley High, New level, new devil, The farther that I get, it seems the harder that it gets, I wish my father could see this, I took it farther than he did, I wonder often if it'd been a problem if he lived, What would Buddha do? Who am I? Mother***er, who is you? Hardest thing I did was walk that fine line, If the devil's rollin', why's he sittin' on my right side? Instantly gratified, Sinfully satisfied, Serve me what I fantasize, While I rehearse my alibi, Angels on my left side, Still I do the opposite, Fame, flesh, and money, I'll *** it with my common sense, Did it cost you? More than what it brought you, The dark thoughts that haunt you, The partners you don't talk to, The lawsuits, Folks you thought they loved you, They robbed you, Even more importantly, Homie, have you lost you? Still I wear this costume, Everything is all smiles, Hoard another round, I get it all, Come car plunge, Ha ha ha, Is this what my life's become? Fading every night when I got a pregnant wife at home, Intoxicated with myself, I can do it all, I don't need nobody else, I've lost the best part of me, This is the dark side of the dream, I've lost myself, My spirit's getting weaker, Disappearing in the mirror, I've lost myself, I'm falling from my calling, I'm fading fast *
