Lost Souls Lyrics - Jazzmatazz, Vol. 2 (the New Reality) - Guru

[Guru] 

Doing it in the house like this 

Going out to the lost souls 

Doing this for you and yours 

Comin' straight to you from the Guru and the crew 

[Chorus] 

To the lost souls 

I hope you find your way someday 

That's why I sit, and I pray 

For the lost souls 

I hope you find your way someday 

That's why I sit, and I pray 

[Guru] 

Sometimes I wonder why 

Some people can't see what's beyond the naked eye 

So therefore I must fortify 

Techniques of communication 

For beyond what is considered to be 

Normal conversation 

So I need some proper 'ticipation 

Am I giving what you need? 

Yes, true indeed 

As greed grows like weed 

Many bad seeds start to contaminate the crop 

I think that needs to stop hops 

Brothers are slain over respect and clout 

While their mothers are trying to figure out 

What's it all about 

But when you give up on self, that's when you lost 

'Cause you're playing with your life 

Like it's a coin toss 

[Chorus] 

[Guru] 

No doubt I release a form of speech 

Relative to urban outreach 

Transmitted messages to each true listener 

Rhymes divine but rough 

Like the skin on blisters 

'Cause the truth hurts 

Plus I got no time for runnin' around, chasin' skirts 

So, see, my sound is a corrector 

A profound lecture 

Quality texture 

That's because of what I see 

A lot of emcees are gassed like hellium 

Word up, G 

A lot of people in general are straight up no good 

Makes me want to shoot 'em 

Aiyo, maybe I should 

But instead I parlay 

Maintain self control 

And say a prayer for the lost souls 

[Chorus] 

[Guru] 

Get up, stand up 

Come on, stand up for your right 

One, two 

I go to new heights with my insight 

Whipping my mic tight 

With the height of a scholar 

Equipped with the gift to make crazy dollars 

But that ain't the whole 

See my heart is in it 

That's the only way one could even attempt to win it 

Dj spin it while others critique 

But the science makes 'em weak 

Check the words that I speak 

See, it's ridiculous for us 

Not to discuss 

The real issues 

Like all you phonies 

And why I dis you 

Dismiss you as a lost soul 

[Chorus] 

[Jason Kay of Jamiroquai/Guru] 

If you don't watch where you step 

You can become indirect 

And you know that you will lose your soul 

And if you truly want to lose 

Until there's nothing to choose 

Then you know that you will lose your soul 

To the lost soul 

I hope you find your way someday 

So I sit, and I pray 

For the lost soul 

I hope you find your way someday 

Lose it 

You can lose it 

You can lose it 

You can lose your soul 

To the lost soul 

Hope you find your way 

I hope you find your way someday
