Look At Me
BOB Lost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look at me, look at me, look what I came to be
Look at me, look at me, who is replacing me?
Look at me, look at me, somebody saving me
Look at me, look at me, give me amazing things

I got em trippin they lookin at me, me, me
I got em dazin they lookin at me, me, me
I got em pointin they lookin at me, me, me
I got em watchin they lookin at me, me, me

Can't put it past forever I last
The booth is a temple I'm preaching for mass
Ahead of the curve, ahead of the class
I see the future and block out the past
When life is a drag tell me what is your motive
I drown my sorrows for days I was broken
I see the dark and I pray it was glowin
My word it travels I'm making it potent

The Word Of BOB all up in the streets, if you two faced turn the double cheek
Thank the man I made another week, I know other people ain't granted peace
Never granted shit I had to make my own, when the devil follow will he take my soul?
This my story fuck his story, at a young age I had to take control

I am not stoppin til best in the world, my name on the map for the rest of the world
I had my days thinkin less of the world, till I found the essence of diamonds and pearls
The diamond can come straight up out of the rough
The pearl stay shining it's ever so tough
Back on the wall when I've had just enough
I light up the fire like smokin a blunt

Look at me, look at me, look what I came to be
Look at me, look at me, who is replacing me?
Look at me, look at me, somebody saving me
Look at me, look at me, give me amazing things

I got em trippin they lookin at me, me, me
I got em dazin they lookin at me, me, me
I got em pointin they lookin at me, me, me
I got em watchin they lookin at me, me, me

I seen night terrors on the dark days
I had close friends go and part ways
I was little minnow in the shark tank
Before silver dollar I was hardaway
I was a penny pincher til I got bigger
I was bench playin made the role bigger
Made a earthquake when I broke richter
Going ape shit with my guerrillas

This for the times I was down and out, young Bobby Lost come and find me now
Came in the field, I burned the route, who in the fuck gonna turn me down
I came correct in this bitch with purpose, Im stayin connected I'm using my service
I'm in this bitch for the days I was hurtin now I got the power I'm feelin like Curtis

You gon remember the day that you heard this
Stayin so earnest for days I was merchant
Now people are merchin cuz of what is emerging
With heat in the booth it could turn to a furnace
This is what it makes, this is what it takes, I'm feelin sweet give you a taste
If I'm in the building know what I say
You cant kick me out cuz I'm owning the place

Look at me, look at me, look what I came to be
Look at me, look at me, who is replacing me?
Look at me, look at me, somebody saving me
Look at me, look at me, give me amazing things

I got em trippin they lookin at me, me, me
I got em dazin they lookin at me, me, me




I got em pointin they lookin at me, me, me
I got em watchin they lookin at me, me, me
