(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
