Lost

Am
  Self-awareness, pride's a coat and yes, I like to wear it
Am
Buttoned up, don't like to let no air in
       Am
With a pair of gloves, that I hope doesn't perish
Am
I discovered, though, when I get holes in 'em and I let joy in, I'm in higher spirits
Am
My mistakes are like a screamin' parrot
                                                     Am
Just repeatin' lyrics, I can barely bear it when I'm lost

Road is narrow, I'm lookin' down it like a gun's barrel
Am
Aren't we all searchin' for the serum that could help us breathe and leave our state of peril?
Am
All of us have made defensive scarecrows, that we scatter 'round our fields and treat like 
heroes
          Am
When they scare away the things that we should cherish
                                                             Am
'Cause we're too embarrassed to admit the fear is that we're lost

Yeah, but what does it matter? I get so combative
                                                   Am
Inside of me's a personal canvas, the paint can be splattered

Get messy when I start to get rattled

The heart of a savage, I'm quiet when I lurk in the shadows
              Am
But somethin' don't add up, I don't wanna be overdramatic

But look at the data, it's obvious that humans are fragile
           Am
We tend to get mad at the ones that call us out

but the fact is we need someone that'll be honest when we fly off the handle
   Am
I admit I throw a fit when I begin to unravel

Keep my wits, been off the grid but now I'm back in the saddle
     Am
My intent is not to rent, I like to own what I value

I could sit here on the fence or maybe pick up the paddle
          Am
I like to row against the current, that's the way that I travel

Opposite of what the grain does, got the brain of a rebel
      Am
Take initiative, I'm diligent on every level

I never could settle, I like to keep my foot on the pedal, yeah
Am
  I'd love to pack arenas and all
           Bm
But what I really wanna do is learn to handle my thoughts
            C
And put the reins on 'em, show 'em I'm the one that's the boss
             Dm
And pull 'em back when  they get out of hand, I'm breakin' they jaws
           Am
I'm takin' the flaws, that told me I could never evolve
            Bm
Then pull a Bane on 'em, ask 'em, "Oh, you think you're in charge?"
           C
You oughta know better, ain't no way around it, I'm flawed
                Dm                         E
The traits that I want, they say I can't afford what it cost


[Pre-Chorus 1: NF]
    Am
But I, manifested this
Bm
Failing's how you grow and learn your lessons, kids
C
Take the worst and try to make the best of it
       Dm
'Cause when you fail, just know it's a test and if
Am
You can learn to pick yourself back up again
    Bm
And train your brain to not be such a pessimist
C
It's okay to make mistakes, just don't forget that
Dm                                 E             Am
There's a high road but I skip the exit when I'm lost


[Chorus: NF]
      Am
Yeah
        Am
When I'm  lost
        Am
When I'm  lost
        Am
When I'm  lost
        Am
When I'm  lost, lost


[Verse 2: Hopsin]
Am
  Wow, these burdens are heavy

And I'm hopin' it don't bury me
  Am
I used to be joyful and skip so merrily

But now I'm too cautious and tip toe carefully
Am
My mind left and it's nowhere to be found

Am I a big ol' parody?
       Am
'Cause it's no fair to me

And now I'm at the point where I'm spending a grand a week on hypnotherapy
      Am
Look, I'm tryna wash away my sins

I got a group of loved ones that ain't my friends
         Am
And if I ever take an L then they might grin

And they all wanna see me stay in the cage I'm in
           Am
So when it come to anybody, there's no trust for no one

Man, so what? My whole plan's to go nuts
   Am
My shoulders ready for more shrugs, I'm gon' judge
                                                 Am
Anybody tryna enter my circle with no love (Hol' up)

My sanity's gone, I'd rather be torn from this planet they planted me on
                               Am
Yes, that's a reward, I'm actually bored with having a sore heart
                                                                  Am
It's torn apart from a family that I don't have anymore (Now hol' up)
                                                                             Am
I was livin' so oblivious with millions, it really was a pity, huh? (A pity, huh?)

It's kinda funny what a penny does, mixed in with a mini buzz (I feel stuck)
        Am
Life's got me by the neck, with a blade against it (What?)
      Bm
Guess I was runnin' late for the train and missed it (What?)
    C
The only thing I feel is pain and vengeance (What?)
   Dm
So I'ma act out like a raging misfit (What?)
    Am
And every verse I lay gon' stay sadistic (Yeah)
Bm
You wanna hate me? Good, great, terrific (Good)
       C
You'll never see the day where my anger's dismissed
    Dm                        E
You better go and change your wishlist 'cause I


[Pre-Chorus 2: Hopsin & NF]
Am
  Yeah, manifested this
Bm
Do not treat me like some adolescent kid
C                                         Dm
I am praying to the Lord with the Book of James hopin' he gon' add my testament
Am
This dark cloud, that's my residence
Bm
Demons knockin', I don't have to let 'em in
C                                              Dm
I done made mistakes, day to day, you probably can't relate
       E                       Am
I just ain't the same when I'm lost


[Chorus: NF]
      A
Yeah
        Am
When I'm  lost
                  Am
When I'm, when I'm  lost
        Am
When I'm  lost
        Am
When I'm  lost, lost
