Lyrics
0:01Uh uh uh uh
0:07It's not a diss song it's just a real song
0:11Feel me
0:12I heard saying they made Hov
0:15Made Hov say "Ok so make another Hov"
0:19Niggaz wasn't playing they day role
0:21So we parted ways like Ben and J-Lo
0:23I shoulda been did it but I been in a daze though
0:26I put friends over business end of the day though
0:29But when friends business interests as they go
0:32Ain't nothing left to say though
0:33I guess we forgot what we came fo
0:35Shoulda stayed in food and beverage
0:38Too much flossing
0:40Too much Sam Rothstein
0:41I ain't a but I gotta divorce them
0:44Hov have to get the shallow off him
0:47And I ain't even want to be famous
0:50Is brainless to unnecessarily go through these changes
0:53And I ain't even know how it came to this
0:55Except that fame is
0:56The worst drug known to man
0:58It's stronger than heroin
1:01When you could look in the mirror like "There I am"
1:04And still not see what you've become
1:07I know I'm guilty of it too but not like them
1:09You lost one
1:10Lose one let go to get one
1:13Left one lose some to win some (You lost one)
1:16Stoyr of a champion sorry I'm a champion
1:21You lost one
1:22I don't think it's meant to be be
1:24But she loves her work more than she does me
1:27And honestly at twenty-three
1:29I would probably love my work more than I did she
1:32So we ain't we
1:34It's me and her
1:35'Cause what she prefers over me is work
1:38And that's where we differ
1:40So I have to give her
1:42Free time even if it hurts
1:44So breathe mami it's deserved
1:46You've been put on this earth to be
1:48All you can be like the reserves
1:50And me My time in the army it's served
1:52So I have to allow she her time to serve
1:55The time's now for her
1:57In time she'll mature
1:58And maybe we can be we again like we were
2:01Finally my time's too short to share
2:04And to ask her now it ain't fair
2:06So yeah she lost one
2:07Lose one let go to get one
2:10Left one lose some to win some
2:13Story of a champion sorry I'm a champion
2:18You lost one
2:19My nephrew died in the car I bought
2:21So I'm under the belief it's partly my fault
2:24Close my eyes and squeeze try to block that thought
2:27Place any burden on me but please not that lord
2:31Time don't go back it go forward
2:33Can't run from the pain go towards it
2:36Some things can't be explained what caused it
2:39Such a beautiful soul so pure
2:42Gonna see you again I'm sure of it
2:45Til that time little man I'm nauseous
2:48Your girlfriend's pregnant the lord's gift
2:50Almost lost my faith that restored it
2:53It's like having your life restarted
2:56Can't wait for your child's life to be a part of it
2:59So now I'm child-like waiting for a gift
3:02To return when I lost you I lost it
3:04Lose one let go to get one
3:07Left one lose some to win some
3:10Story of a champion Colleek you're a champion
3:15You lost one
