Lose Yourself
J.G. Hackett Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I found you it's like I lost myself
Going crazy spending all my wealth
Doing it time and time again
Being by myself only way that I win
They steady talking but never gon spin
We ain't hiding I'll send them the pin
Talk to the lord said I needed to change
What good is the love if it's coming with pain
I know the sun go come after the rain
Still my heart been broken ain't no one to blame
Only one left it ain't no one to trust
Team on my back it's glory or bust
Said we wouldn't make They tried to play us
Now that I'm here ain't no need to play tough
What good is the love if it's coming with pain
I know the sun gone come after the rain
Run it up run it up fw my brothers till all of the money up
I gave him a way but he still ain't gon change
He won't go legit that man that Shit is so strange
I Guess we gon see when his time up
Don't ask for no help Cause I done enough
I been trynna be humble but I'm coming up
Put you on game when I seen you was stuck
We ain't gotta talk that's just how I show love
Do anything for my brothers
Promise put nothin above ya
I rather have loyalty need no more lovers
Cause they have my back I know they gon cover
When I found you it's like I lost myself
Going crazy spending all of my wealth
They steady talking but never gone spin
We ain't hiding I'll send them the pin
When I found you it's like I lost myself
Going crazy spending all my wealth
Doing it time and time again
Being by myself the only way that I win
They steady talking but never gon spin
We ain't hiding I'll send them the pin
Talk to the lord said I needed to change
What good is the love if it's coming with pain
I know the sun go come after the rain
Still my heart been broken ain't no one to blame
Only one left it ain't no one to trust
Team on my back it's glory or bust
Said we wouldn't make They tried to play us
Now that I'm here ain't no need to play tough
Only one left it ain't no one to trust
Now that I'm here ain't no need to play tough
Gotta keep it solid
Count up my deposits
Never had no problems
All I want is commas
Talking like he bout it
We gon see who popping
Whole world watching
Take off like a rocket
Keeping my composure
Heard they say we owe em
Deleted all the socials
Someone must've told him
Must ain't know who he was fw it
I'll get him knocked for the fun of it
I been searching for a min
Still ain't found nobody addicted to winning
While you chasing skirts I been chasing a pennant
Graduated now it's time for the pinning
When I found you it's like I lost myself
Going crazy spending all of my wealth
They steady talking but never gone spin
We ain't hiding I'll send them the pin
When I found you it's like I lost myself
Going crazy spending all my wealth
Doing it time and time again
Being by myself the only way that I win
They steady talking but never gon spin
We ain't hiding I'll send them the pin
Talk to the lord said I needed to change
What good is the love if it's coming with pain
I know the sun go come after the rain
Still my heart been broken ain't no one to blame
Only one left it ain't no one to trust
Team on my back it's glory or bust
Said we wouldn't make They tried to play us




Now that I'm here ain't no need to play tough
Yeah
