Not Lost

Lyrics

[Hook: B.o.B] Just because I'm losing doesn't mean I'm lost They gave me nothing but doubt First they waited, then they hated, then they counted me out Just because I'm losing doesn't mean I'm stuck They say I lost my way But first I showed 'em, then I sold 'em right in front of their face [Verse 1: B.o.B] Well, this is the world that we live in One minute you the hero, the next you the villain We got up in this game just to try to make a living We hit you with the truth while you watching television But still these are the cards that we dealt They kick you on the ground when you most need help Until you dried up and they sit you on the shelf Then you start to cry because you all by yourself So just know if you wanna wear the belt The only way to excel is the soul that you sell So I could care less about the clothes on myself I'm trying to drive straight on a road made of nails Yeah, I got to pay the toll if I fail Or else it would be another story to tell I'm getting to the door, I can tell I'm just waiting on the day till the glory prevails [Hook: B.o.B] Just because I'm losing doesn't mean I'm lost They gave me nothing but doubt First they waited, then they hated, then they counted me out Just because I'm losing doesn't mean I'm stuck They say I lost my way But first I showed 'em, then I sold 'em right in front of their face [Verse 2: T.I.] All I know is keep goin', shit don't stop Until the hustle doubles up, I'll put the click on top Used to wanna have the bricks on lock 'Til we went to prison, saw we couldn't pick them locks Easy decision, now a nigga think I lost my touch Listen, if I ain't the realest ever done it, I ain't off by much So please don't wake me up if I'm dreamin' In the fast lane speedin', no safety belt And it's a marathon, pace yourself In this race for wealth, talkin' shit just a waste of breath Chasing me like chasing your tail; you'll never catch it Respect is something you never get if you never had it I'm lookin' back and laughin' this life of mine Brought me all the way here from my life of crime Just a constant reminder that the end all be all Is the one who knows all sees all because [Hook: B.o.B] Just because I'm losing doesn't mean I'm lost They gave me nothing but doubt First they waited, then they hated, then they counted me out Just because I'm losing doesn't mean I'm stuck They say I lost my way But first I showed 'em, then I sold 'em right in front of their face [Verse 3: B.o.B] Yeah, well these are my predictions I'll be on the Top 40 with a big hit Travelin' the world tryin' not to get sick And I'ma get more friends on my "Friends List" And then after that I'll be famous And everyone I know will tell me that I'm changin' And then my cell phone will never stop ringin' And I'll be all over magazine pages Yeah and they'll play my songs 'til they borin' And if I ever do stop touring they treat me like a foreigner Don't believe me, ask Lauryn [Hook: B.o.B] Just because I'm losing doesn't mean I'm lost They gave me nothing but doubt First they waited, then they hated, then they counted me out Just because I'm losing doesn't mean I'm stuck They say I lost my way But first I showed 'em, then I sold 'em right in front of their face
