"Lost Ones"

(V-1)

Best Friends
That's what we were
Now I can't even stand the sight of her
Hate to hear her voice
Wish she'd get it together
But it's not my choice
Used to be that good girl
Used to have my back
Now she's typical
Just another hood rat
Used to trust her with all my secrets
Now that's exactly how I gotta keep it, secret
Crazy cuz I didn't wanna believe it
Used to have goals
Wanted to work hard to achieve'em
Now she's so gone
Wonder what went wrong
Now she stay on her back
Say it ain't like that
But damn it's true
She is a Whor*e
From her head down to her toes
Now I can't trust her
Not with my man
Cuz she'd f*ck'em, just to say she can
They say never follow temptation
F*ck with my man, I'll end up an inmate
Or hidin' somewhere in a basement
This is real life, real talk I'm spittin'
And I know a nerve I'm probably hittin'
But f*ck it, this verse is done
Yeap-it's f*cked up but ya just lost one .

Out of the blue, you came into my life
"Ma, how are you?"
Met through my bro
Gave you my address even though I said no
So we start the correspondence
Honestly realizing how fun this is
This pen pal sh*t
But soon the fun sh*t is done
Heart getting involved now
Sh*t I wanna run
But I couldn't move my feet I was stunned
5'10", brown-eyes, dark chocolate, had me mesmerized
Asking myself: How could I love one I've never met?
Especially to the depths of which mine flowed
And on that note
The first visit
I couldn't place it
Felt something real
That hood love sh*t
Kept writing you, holding you down
18 months later and I'm still around
Gave up my life to keep you happy
Even started calling you Daddy
Made me wifey
Told me this wasn't a game
F*ck them lames
No more strife-n-this was for life
Even got that "Aaliyah" tattoo on your left arm
Told me you'd never bring me hurt, pain, despair, or harm
Told me it's about you and I
Said you loved my thick thighs
Said we were meant to be
Like Jay and B
Said I made you feel free
Said the love was authentic-n-real
Said I had you feeling things you ain't never feel
Said I was your Queen
Your everything
Gave me your word
That this love wouldn't hurt
Then 11-8: the worst day of my life
Wish time could rewind
Ever since then been cryin'
Tired of the lies
Of the cheating
You didn't hit me but you abused me
How could this be?
Won't even listen to the words that I speak
But it's cool cuz I'm moving on
Yeah, you know who you are
Just listen to the poem
But f*ck it, this verse is done
Yep it's f*cked up
But ya just lost one

(V-3)

Damn couldn't believe it
Her mouth was moving but I couldn't hear it
Said you were gone away
From here
Said it had been 3 years
Asked if I had heard from the crew
"Wonder why they didn't contact you?"
I ask myself the same
Wishing I could bring
You back again
Trying to figure out what happened
When I heard that
Felt like someone shot me with a magnum
Asked the Almighty Lord
"How could you take one so pure?"
Took awhile to have my faith restored
Knows he's in a better place
A place where he's not judged
Cuz of color, class, or race
Just wish once I could see his face
Tell'em his love can't be replaced
Tell my peeps I said hi
I know there's no need to cry
Think of all the times we shared
The special times when only us was there
Wish we could've had more time
Cuz souljah you stay on my mind
But I know it was apart of a plan
Just know I was your #1 fan
Your mom ain't been the same since you been gone
She's heartbroken from losing her baby, her last son
Just wanna remember all the fun
You win, my heart you won
Your death-unexpected
If I could turn back time
Your love- I would accept it
But even death can't keep us apart
You'll always have a place in my heart
But f*ck it
This verse is done
Yeah-it's f*cked up but I just lost one .!!!!
