Dayne Jordan, Ebony Joi - LOST lyrics

The days move quickly
Minutes turn into moments that will forever
Be a part of my history
And history is nothing short of the thoughts
That will circulate in a mind
Full of open space was suicidal the
Cycle’s like an open race
Everyone is eligible never would I
Never should you deeply
Regurgitate anything you’ve taken in
From the past, present, or future
About you staying deeply involved get lost

I was headed down the path toward nowhere
Hanging on basketball courts
But I ain’t go there to shoot around
I mean I had dreams of being AI
But everyone would shoot em down
Four eleven was the height that I measured
So when it came to full court games
I was never picked
Playing the side line every day
All I ever did
All I wanted was my respect and
I couldn’t ever get it
When you’re thirteen you get
Treated like a kid
I’m too young to get a job
Money is on my mind
Then I got tired of asking my
Momma for dollars every time
I would see a pair of
Sneakers that caught my eye
So I decided to get it the fast way
But anything
Fast ain’t worth having if it’s gon’
Put you in a bad space
Eventually, like it eventually
Did to me it coulda got
Me sent to the penitentiary
Luckily it didn’t
But that don’t mean it’s gonna
Be the same for you

There’s no place there for you
It ain’t safe there for you
Get away from here soon
Get away from here soon
There’s no place there for you, get lost
It ain’t safe there for you, get lost
Get away from here soon, get lost
Get away from here soon, get lost

I know a few that have fell susceptible
To the hustle and pressure they didn’t
Mind a nine to five
But reality kick in when seeing
The revenue that they
Generating over the course of
Two weeks momma pullin’


The block is calling, the rock is calling
Things consistently coppin now his
Pockets is bulging
So how you expect him to go
Back when his Bo Jack’s
Are brand new? And he’s pushing a Cadillac
Stacking up enough money to
Change his habitat
And potentially see his family
Doin better than bad i don’t blame him
So this song ain’t to change him
It’s just to put something on his mind
And hopefully he saves himself
You see I coulda been the same one
Plus, I don’t wanna see em caged up

There’s no place there for you
It ain’t safe there for you
Get away from here soon
Get away from here soon
There’s no place there for you, get lost
It ain’t safe there for you, get lost
Get away from here soon, get lost
Get away from here soon, get lost

Yearning for a future that’s not an illusion
Selling yourself a dream causes
A lot of confusion
Fused in, with where you are currently they
Do become motivated by currency the
Power of the dollar
Mm mm, could turn a sweet heart sour
Over and over again, I’ve seen it devour
Great stories that get niggas sentences that
Turn into paragraphs, that turn into essays
Like we in LA
Homeboys become enemies over pennies
And rather chance getting and
Working at Wendy’s
Truth time ain’t money and money ain’t time
Truth when money is lost it
Ain’t hard to find
But you can’t get the minutes back
That you spend in the trap
Truth chasing after them nickels and dimes
So we better off getting it legally
And stop thinking
Things happen immediately after we try
No lie i know you hate being broke my nigga
So did I but you gotta have hope my nigga
Pray to God things will change in due time
But until then, keep this on your mind

There’s no place there for you
It ain’t safe there for you
Get away from here soon
Get away from here soon
There’s no place there for you, get lost
It ain’t safe there for you, get lost
Get away from here soon, get lost
Get away from here soon, get lost
