Wallo Speaks

(album: Lost Souls - 2022)

You know what's crazy?
You know I had to come to the realization that we all lost souls
I've been lost my whole life
You know?
Identity crisis, not knowing who I am, not wanting to accept who I am
I'm running from that, you running from that, we running from that
We all lost you know?
No matter if we giving advice, no matter if we got money, no matter if we got things, no matter if we married, no matter if we single, no matter if don't no matter nothing
We all lost out here

But we find this beautiful way to make the people to believe that we want to impress
We been tryna make people believe through these magical ways that we try to camouflage our lostness
But I don't care who you are, you lost. I'm lost, we lost

You know, then we try to use words, like, you know, "you're selfish", the strong manipulation words, "you're selfish"
But if I gotta die, you gotta die, you gotta die, think about that
You gotta go before me
Self-preservation everybody is putting theyself first

But in this lost world that we in and in our lost minds we try to make other people believe that if they're selfish – self-preservation
That they're selfish. Think about that

Hiding behind your Instagram caption, hiding you know you're hiding the hurt or at least you're trying to hide the hurt, you trying to camouflage the hurt
You don't want nobody to see that you're hurting inside
So you get these things because you're lost, I'm lost, we lost
Think about that

I don't care what you got, I don't care where you've been until you deal with the lostness in your life
And the reality is we may not ever be able to deal with it while we're here
But I know one thing, I'm lost

No matter how much I'm able to encourage you or motivate you in the morning or you could watch my stuff live or whatever
My shit really do stink
It do
I ain't got my shit together, I'm still traveling through life trying to figure it out. Just like you

But guess what?
Imma tell you something and it's a secret and it might have people that's gonna go against what Imma tell you because they're lost and they don't want to embrace the reality of life
Money don't make you happy
When I got it I was disappointed
And the reason I was disappointed, because all my life I was told and I was educated by the machine, the marketing machine, that once I get it everything would just magically disappear
My trauma, my childhood pain, you know, pain, the vacancies of my childhood and my upbringing, all the struggle, everything that I've been through, everything I'm going through as a grown-ass man now as an adult

But guess what? It was a lie
Everything I've been told about money when I got the money, I signed on the dotted line, the wire hit my account, I thought I was going to feel this excitement
I thought everything was gonna go away

Everything that ever happened to me, everything that ever happened to my family, everything that ever happened to my mind in all these different ways and all the stuff I know and all the stuff I was exposed to

But it didn't. That's why I'm lost
You are too we're all lost
And the reality is, while we're here, we'll never been un-lost
