Lost (Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

(album: Tha Carter V - 2018)

Well, if you out there in the streets and you looking for me
When you find me, tell me, I said I been looking for me
If you out there in the streets and you looking for me
When you find me, tell me, I said I been looking for me

I been looking for some love, but it ain't looking for me
That's why she bite her tongue when she tell me that pussy for me
And I been looking for somebody that been looking for me
Keeping my two fingers crossed, but I'm still looking for peace
I been looking at the clouds, maybe they'll listen to me
Can't talk dirty to myself because the mirror's too clean
Trying never to look back because the light always green
It's safe to say I lost my way, but I never lost the lead

And if you out there in the streets and you looking for me
When you find me, tell me, I said I been looking for me
If you out there in the streets and you looking for me
When you find me, tell me, I said I been looking for me

Every time it beat, it break apart
I really think it's all my daddy fault
I can't find the keys to my heart
Think I'ma need the automatic start
Out there looking for love after dark
Then I get tired and it's an afterthought
Where's the love? Five question marks
Eat your heart out, I had to starve
It's the saddest part
I'm questioning myself, I ain't gotta answer yours
Baby, that's for sure
I take a look at myself and then I just pass the torch
Baby, back and forth
I ask can we get together just to break back apart
Baby, that's the cure
Me, myself, I, my iPhone, Fantastic Four
Never knew 'take it or leave it' could be so literal
Never knew taking a breather could be so physical
Never knew taking it easy could be so difficult
Never knew taking these drugs could be so spiritual
Never knew the chemist like how I know the chemicals
Never knew taking a life could be so minuscule
Never know taking chances will be individual
Never know taking advantage would be inhospitable, how pivotal
Never knew the shit I never knew would be minimal, how cynical
Never knew love and hate were similar, identical

I been looking for some love, but it ain't looking for me
That's why she bite her tongue when she tell me that pussy for me
And I been looking for somebody that been looking for me
Keeping my two fingers crossed, but I'm still looking for peace

And if you out there in the streets and you looking for me
If you find me, tell me, I said I been looking for me
If you out there in the streets and you looking for me
When you find me, tell me, I said I been looking too deep

I can't find the keys to this life
Picked the locks, I might be a'ight
Close my eyes, I might see the light
Life is a bitch, she might be my type
Death is a bitch, she might be tonight
Haters kiss and dick-eaters bite
Tables turn every day 'n night
Three-sixty, three-sixty-five
I can't find no leaks to my pipe
Police can't find nor reason nor right
Been tryna let shit happen on the fly
But I can't find a seat on that flight
There's a private plane, that's simple and plain
Tickets at a more reasonable price
Sometimes, I don't know how it's gon' end
Even though I done seen the movie twice
Pop a wheelie, new motorbike
Some people like to live a slower life
Some niggas like to live cutthroat
I'ma be the nigga that hold the knife
You girl wan' hold me tight over night
Who am I to tell her wrong from right?
I'ma give her more dick than advice
You give her more strings to a kite
I just found a needle in a haystack, bitch, it's payback
I found myself talking to myself with nothing to say back
And I just found the keys to a Maybach I had way back
Tryna find everything but my way back

Yeah, well, if you out there in the streets and you looking for me
When you find me, tell me, I said I been looking for me
If you out there in the streets and you looking for me
When you find me, tell me, I said I been looking for me
I been looking at my posse with a look of belief
I been looking my closet and it look like Paris
They been looking for your body, they been looking for weeks
They find you dead with your eyes open, looking for grief

I been looking at the clouds, they say they look up to me
Safe to say I lost some sleep, but I never lost my dreams
If you out there in the streets and you looking for me
When you find me, tell me, I said I been looking too deep
They lost
