lyrics
V.1:
Used to b that kid with nothin to lose/
Nothin to do, yet I had somethin to prove/
Suckas callin me out, like "U ain't got it like that/
But I never backdown! I was taught to fight back/
On the road to redemption tryna get my life back/
Decisions I made, left me a victim of the game/
18 wit 6 felonies, charged to my name/
I prayed, The Lord show me the way/
But i learned the hard way, nobody told me a thang/
Cryin bymyself, sittin lonely in pain/
Damn caught up in this life of sin/
Prayin that the devil don't strike again/
Only the strong survive, life's a fight to the end/
So I gotta hold my own, and fight to win/
Cuz I remember bein broke n didn't own shit/
...a lost soul, wit no focus/
Lookin in the mirror feelin so hopeless/
Now I'm 21 gettin money, on some grown shit/
Like fuck the world, I'm on my own shit
Against all odds but I won't quit/
Hook:
I'm lost in the world/
All Alone on my own, wit no where to go/
Tryna keep the faith, sayin prayers for hope/
I follow my heart/
I'm lost in the world/
Just tryna survive and live my life/
Standin strong thru the darkest nite/
I follow my heart/
V.2
Finally see the world for what it is/
shiiit aint no mercy for us innocent misfits/
death around the corner, so much i done witnessed/
stressed like I’m next on satans hit list/
but regardless, ima handle my business/
see the fuckin devil, love to torment/
bring pain and sting like a hornet/
whispering threats tryna get me to forfeit/
but I’m game sharp like a fuckin war vet/
fuck frenz, they some treacherous bastards/
and trusting these sluts is a fuckin disaster/
promiscuous hoes b gettin' pregnant faster/
too many teens gettin' caught up in the rapture/
tired of slavin', now I’m tryna be the master/
...and even tho stress is a factor/
I’m still representin' for my niggas captured/
by the system, lord knows i miss em/
and tho life goes on, i'll never forget em/
Hook:
I'm lost in the world/
All Alone on my own, wit no where to go/
Tryna keep the faith, sayin prayers for hope/
I follow my heart/
I'm lost in the world/
Just tryna survive and live my life/
Standin strong thru the darkest nite/
I follow my heart/
V.3
Daily suffering thru this fuckin addiction/
damn when the hell will anybody listen/
my pockets broke feel in so shitty/
but i know aint no pity in the whole city/
all these haters faker than a fuckin hoes titty
man i swear, life's a fuckin trip/
and from what i seen most of these bitch is tricks/
skandalous hypocrites, after my chips/
and getting caught up in the mix, is something i can’t risk/
don’t end up raise a kid before my chance to live/
paying child support, i can’t afford to give/
but sometimes, it just is what it is/
what can you do, just take it how it come/
or use your brain and change the fate of the outcome/
all about my money cuz fuck liven without none/
i aint join out like a bum, i know I’m better than that/
they say dreams are forever, but i know better than that/
Hook:
I'm lost in the world/
All Alone on my own, wit no where to go/
Tryna keep the faith, sayin prayers for hope/
I follow my heart/
I'm lost in the world/
Just tryna survive and live my life/
Standin strong thru the darkest nite/
I follow my heart/
V.4
temptations be calling me, voices saying follow me/
damn i wish i could live wit no apologies/
honestly im fed up, feelin dead stuck/
in my car bumping 2pac, keep ya head up/
but only time will tell where the hell I’ma end up/
alone standin stoned at the crossroads/
my soul yearning searching for lost hope/
tryna understand the words that God spoke/
and what can i say the struggle continues/
reflectin on the essence of what humble men do/
my past, and all the fuckin troubles i been thru/
but i know my father watching over me/
makin sure i mature, as the man I’m supposed to be/
cuz grown up, i was a neglected kid/
a young rebel, stepping wit recklessness/
middle finger in the air hurling expletives/
eyes full of pride doin’ my best to live/
representin for all my dead relatives/
and i sometimes wonder if heaven exists/
cuz man i swear, its so hard to imagine/
especially when every night motherfuckas blastin’/
lifes a rough ride ya better have ya seat belt fastened/
beware of what out there, know who you smashin’/
cuz ya next love might be a fatal attraction
Hook:
I'm lost in the world/
All Alone on my own, wit no where to go/
Tryna keep the faith, sayin prayers for hope/
I follow my heart
I'm lost in the world/
Just tryna survive and live my life/
Standin strong thru the darkest nite/
I follow my heart
