Losing It
I can't find it
I lost it
The keys don't FIT
Things don't mean S$!T...
I lost it!
Sparks gone, couldn't keep it lit...
Just needed an outlet,
Instead, became a target...
Can't get it!
Not in the right bracket.
Anytime I'm one way, they're the opposite.
While I make the case, turn it into a basket...
Not sure if I should submit,
or turn into a bandit...
Oh, the sky is the limit?
Must be why keeping me down is your favorite...
Even when I was the one with the credit,
Well, at least enough to fake it...
Wait, not fake, just run it debit,
Nothing was ever low budget...
Then it blew up like a rocket,
Trade one for another bad habit
Maybe I should just forfeit
Cause I'll never be in another's pocket...
All of it
I can't find it
I think I'm losing it
I lost it
Don't think this is legit?
Darkness fills where there used to be a spirit.
Bit by bit,
they made sure to keep me grounded.
I think I'm losing it...
I think I lost it.
