(featuring Marsha)

|
Uh, uh, uh, uh
|
It's not a diss song, it's just a real song
|
Feel me?
|
|
I heard motherfuckers saying they made Hov
|
Made Hov say, "Ok so, make another Hov"
|
Niggaz wasn't playing they day role
|
So we parted ways like Ben and J-Lo
|
I shoulda been did it but I been in a daze though
|
I put friends over business end of the day though
|
But when friends, business interests' day-glow
|
Ain't nothing left to say though
|
I guess we forgot what we came fo'
|
Shoulda stayed in food and beverage
|
Too much flossing
|
Too much Sam Ralstein
|
I ain't a bitch but I gotta divorce them
|
Hov have to get the shallow shit up off him
|
And I ain't even want to be famous
|
Niggaz is brainless to unnecessarily go through these changes
|
And I ain't even know how it came to this
|
Except that fame is
|
The worst drug known to man
|
It's stronger than, heroin
|
When you could look in the mirror like, "There I am"
|
And still not see, what you've become
|
I know I'm guilty of it too but, not like them
|
You lost one
|
|
(Chorus w/ Marsha) [Jay-Z]
|
Lose one, let go to get one
|
Left one, lose some to win some [You lost one]
|
Story Of A Champion, sorry I'm a champion
|
You lost one
|
|
I don't think it's meant to be, be
|
But she loves her work more than she does me
|
And honestly, at twenty-three
|
I would probably love my work more than I did she
|
So we, ain't we
|
It's me, and her
|
'Cause what she prefers over me, is work
|
And that's, where we, differ
|
So I have to give her
|
Free, time, even if it hurts
|
So breathe, mami, it's deserved
|
You've been put on this earth to be
|
All you can be, like the reserves
|
And me? My timing in this army, it's served
|
So I have to allow she, her, time to serve
|
The time's now for her
|
The time she'll mature
|
And maybe we, can be, we, again like we were
|
Finally, my time's too short to share
|
And to ask her now, it ain't fair
|
So yeah, she lost one
|
|
Lose one, let go to get one
|
Left one, lose some to win some [Oh yeah, she lost one]
|
Story Of A Champion, sorry I'm a champion
|
You lost one
|
|
|
My nephew died in the car I bought
|
So I'm under the belief it's partly my fault
|
Close my eyes and squeeze, try to block that thought
|
Place any burden on me, but please, not that lord
|
Time don't go back, it go forward
|
Can't run from the pain, go towards it
|
Some things can't be explained, what caused it?
|
Such a beautiful soul, so pure, shit
|
Gonna see you again, I'm sure of it
|
That time, little man I'm nauseous
|
Your girlfriend's pregnant, the lord's gift
|
Almost lost my faith, that restored it
|
It's like having your life restarted
|
Can't wait for your child's life, to be a part of it
|
So now I'm child-like, waiting for a gift
|
To return, when I lost you, I lost it
|
|
Lose one, let go to get one
|
Left one, lose some to win some [Colleek, I lost one]
|
Story Of A Champion, Colleek, you're a champion
|
I lost one
