Lost One Lyrics - Chrisette Michele

It's not a diss song 

It's just a real song 

Feel me? 

I heard motherfuckers saying they made Hov 

Made Hov say, "Okay, so make another Hov." 

Niggas wasn't playing they day role 

So we parted ways like Ben and J-Lo 

I should a 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' 

Should a 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 

Niggas 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 

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 

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 (You lost one) 

Sorry, I'm 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 

Till 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 

I lost one
