Not Lost Lyrics by B.o.B

No Genre

2011

[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
