Lost Songtext
von Token

I was never the kid begging for help

Always thought I could do everything better myself
So I kept to myself
And age 9, 10, 11, and 12
I started developing remedies for my mental health
I would write a verse here and there

When I was angry or sad just to clear the air
But as time went on it was weird and rare
And frustrated this wasn′t why I appeared to bear
See rap was my reason
Addictive personality added to the fact that I lacked what I needed
A sense of purpose, happiness even
And the more I worked the more support I had been receiving

Made new friends that came with the cause

Stayed out of trouble every day writing songs
Eventually gained fans who were craving it all

And here I am contemplating it all
I'm lost


Lost
I wake up and ask where has my time gone
So I go back to sleep
And because I am young
I′ll do anything for the things that I love
'Cause baby I'm lost

And everything I got is clearly a blessing

But my life is solely music
After school I disappear in a second and I fear where I′m headed
They tell me to be a kid don′t waste these years you'll regret it

But I′m caught in this damn route
Of who could be the product to stand out
I might be
And I'm confident hands down
Nothing will happen with this unless I work the hardest I can now

So someone teach me how to balance this
Last week I stepped back and acted as a kid
But there were opportunities I had to pass on quick
Plus I′m late for collabs and I'm looking like an asshole
Man I′m battling myself
I ain't choose this match
It's summer now I got time but what the fuck am I gon′ do with that?
And while I think on it I look at my inbox
And see kids talking like "Where the new music at?"
I′m lost


Lost
I wake up and ask where has my time gone
So I go back to sleep
And because I am young
I'll do anything for the things that I love
′Cause baby I'm lost

I feel out of the loop
I feel like everybody′s swimming in the fountain of youth
While I'm in my house in the booth
My mind′s crowded with views from the past
Feels like yesterday my best friend and I biked to town to get food
Now he's smoking and he's drinking and he′s driving with the same pack
Who hated on me when they found out that I made raps

And there′s this girl that I kinda like now
And I heard she's into me but I ain′t got the time to find out
I'm trying to pass and forget her
Trying to not think about how many times I′m ditching dad over dinner

Trying to not think about when I promised to call to grandma
Mom said it won't be long ′til she's gone
What's my excuse? I′m preoccupied

With this 8 inch blue baby bottle mic
And I would take a break if I didn′t
Think about failure more than my success
But I only got one life I can't afford losing again
I′m lost

Lost
I wake up and ask where has my time gone
So I go back to sleep
And because I am young
I'll do anything for the things that I love
′Cause baby I'm lost

Lost
I′ll do anything for the things that I love
Baby I'm lost
Lost
'Cause I′m lost
