So Lost / No Promises lyrics

Part I: So Lost

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't put your trust in them n*ggas, gotta watch your partners
Yeah (Yeah)
Momma said "Watch the way you move, you gotta think smarter"
(Oh, oh, oh)
I tell her "I'm a street n*gga," she said "You a artist"
Yeah
I try to run away from pain, I just can't avoid it

[Chorus]
All them damn memories, still haunt me
I work too hard but I still see my dreams crumblin'
Will God forgive me if I take one with me when they come for me
This ain't the life that we wanted
That's just what they give
You always smile when it's stormin'
Hate it when it's clear
You be lookin' in the mirror, you see nothin'
You so lost, so lost, so lost, so lost, so lost, so lost
Ayy

[Verse]
Sometimes I just wanna get away, it gets stressful
They got all my birds in a cage, they got feathers
Hurt control a n*gga, it's so strict
Pour my heart every time, I can't miss
Why the f*ck they ain't tell me money came with this?
Put my name in a song, I won't respond to a diss
I go to creepin', I refuse to let them pus*y rappers kill me
Do not call my phone, you gon' get the dial tone
You around because I'm on
And leave me when it's all gone
I sat in the jail so long
I sat in a cell alone, oh I, I, I
Hold on, don't lose it
I know you've been through it
My life is a movie, called "The Devil Recruitin'"
Welcome to my life, my life, my life, my life
Welcome to my life, my life, my life, my life
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't put your trust in them n*ggas, gotta watch your partners
Yeah (Yeah)
Momma said "Watch the way you move, you gotta think smarter"
(Oh, oh, oh)
I tell her "I'm a street n*gga," she said "You a artist"
Yeah
I try to run away from pain, I just can't avoid it

[Chorus]
All them damn memories, still haunt me
I work too hard but I still see my dreams crumblin'
Will God forgive me if I take one with me when they come for me
This ain't the life that we wanted
That's just what they give
You always smile when it's stormin'
Hate it when it's clear
You be lookin' in the mirror, you see nothin'
You so lost, so lost, so lost, so lost, so lost, so lost
Ayy

[Outro]
Hold on, don't lose it
My life is a movie
My life is a movie called "The Devil Recruitin'"
You always smile when it's stormin'
Hate it when it's clear
Part II: No Promises

[Chorus]
God I know I'm livin' wrong, I'm gon' get right with You
But I can't make no promises
But in the meantime, please protect your lil' n*gga
They on me, watch over me

[Verse]
My n*ggas still ridin' for me
They tell me "Keep shinin' and sh*t"
My n*ggas still slide for me
I pray that we get out this sh*t
Whatever you put the same thing you get out of this sh*t
The judge say I promote violence, I gave the streets knowledge and sh*t
I gotta keep my head up, can't be starin' at these shoe strings
I showed the world different, got everything I used to dream
I just make the bird call, them eagles come and get y'all
I'm still mad 'bout all them times I let them n*ggas get off
I'm just hopin' God protect me
Don't let my fans pull up too reckless
The way I'm livin', I might wet 'em
I committed sins, I left with grins, Hell nah, I don't regret 'em
I'm Cap and I'm ballin', I miss my n*gga Mega
Thinking 'bout my future, got love for Casino, that's my n*gga
CeeLo died, that sh*t made me hit my knees a lil' quicker
You don't need your heart to live, n*gga
You just need your pistol
Won't you stay
Won't you stay
[Chorus]
God I know I'm livin' wrong, I'm gon' get right with you
But I can't make no promises
But in the meantime, please protect your lil' n*gga
They on me, watch over me

[Outro]
My n*ggas still ridin' for me
They tell me "Keep shinin' and sh*t"
My n*ggas still slide for me
I pray that we get out this sh*t
I just make the bird call, them eagles come and get y'all
I'm still mad 'bout all them times I let them n*ggas get off
Ooh, ooh, ooh
