Jay-Z – Lost One Lyrics  Share

From Jay-Z's album: Kingdom Come

(feat. Marsha From Floetry)

Uh, uh, uh, uh
It^,s not a diss 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^, day-glow
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 Ralstein
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: Marsha (Jay-Z)]
Lose one, let go to get one
Left one, lose some to win some (You lost one)
Sorry I^,m 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
[ Lost One lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/j/jayz/lost-one/ ]
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 timing is on me, it^,s served
So I have to allow she, her, time to serve
The time^,s now for her
The 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)
Sorry I^,m a champion, sorry I^,m a champion
You lost one

I never 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
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
