Lyrics
uh, uh, uh, uh, it's not a dis song, it's just a real song, feel me?, i heard motherfuckers saying they made hov, made hov say, "ok so, make another hov", niggaz wasn't playing they day role, so we parted ways like ben and j-lo, i should've been did it but i been in a daze though, i put friends over business end of the day though, but when friends, business interests is day glow, ain't nothing left to say though, i guess we forgot what we came fo', should've stayed in food and beverage, too much flossing, too much sam rothstein, i ain't a bitch but i gotta divorce them, hov had to get the shallow shit up off him, and i ain't even want to be famous, niggaz is brainless to unnecessarily go through these changes, and i ain't even know how it came to this, except that fame is, the worst drug known to man, it's stronger than, heroin, when you could look in the mirror like, "there i am", and still not see, what you've become, i know i'm guilty of it too but, not like them, you lost one, lose one, let go to get one, get one, lose some to win some, story of a champion, sorry i'm a champion, you lost one, i don't think it's meant to be, b, for she loves her work more than she does me, and honestly, at twenty-three, i would probably love my work more than i did she, so we, ain't we, it's me, and her, 'cause what she prefers over me, is work, and that's, where we, differ, so i have to give her, free, time, even if it hurts, so breathe, mami, it's deserved, you've been put on this earth to be, all you can be, like the reserves, and me? my time in the army, it's served, so i have to allow she, her, time to serve, the time's now for her, in time she'll mature, and maybe we, can be, we, again like we were, finally, my time's too short to share, and to ask her now, it ain't fair, so yeah, she lost one, lose one, let go to get one, get one, lose some to win some, story of a champion, sorry i'm a champion, you lost one, my nephew died in the car i bought, so i'm under the belief it's partly my fault, close my eyes and squeeze, try to block that thought, place any burden on me, but please, not that lord, time don't go back, it goes forward, can't run from the pain, go towards it, some things can't be explained, what caused it?, such a beautiful soul, so pure, shit, gonna see you again, i'm sure of it, 'til that time, little man i'm nauseous, your girlfriend's pregnant, the lord's gift, almost lost my faith, that restored it, it's like having your life restarted, can't wait for your child's life, to be a part of it, so now i'm child-like, waiting for a gift, to return, when i lost you, i lost it, lose one, let go to get one, get one, lose some to win some, sorry of a champion, colleek, you're a champion, i lost one
