I Lose Myself
The Souls Lyrics

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Addressing the reflective surface and seeking its opinion.

Tell me, mirror, what is wrong?
Asking the mirror what is the issue.

Can it be my de la clothes
Asking if the problem is the clothes the singer is wearing.

Or is it just my de la song?
Wondering if the problem is with the music played.

What I do ain't make-believe
The artist claims that their art is authentic and not manufactured.

People say I sit and try
The singer acknowledges that some people think that they are not genuine in their work.

But whan it comes to being de la
The group members are constantly themselves and not pretending.

It's just me myself and I
Being themselves is the group's mantra.

Now you tease my plug one style
Someone is mocking Plug One's style.

And my plug one spectacles
Mocking Plug One's glasses too.

You say plug one and two are hippies
Others brand Plug One Two to be classical hippies, making assumptions.

No, we're not, that's pure plug bull
The group denies claims of being hippies in any way.

Always pushing that we've formed an image
Others spread lies that they have created a persona.

There's no need to lie
They don't have to fake things to look cool, unlike many others in the industry.

When it comes to being plug one
Being Plug One has a unique identity and persona, apart from rumors.

It's just me myself and I
Being oneself is authentic and true to oneself.

Proud, I'm proud of what I am
The group is proud of who they are of what they do.

Poems I speak are plug two type
The Poems they write and perform are authentic Plug Two style.

Please oh please let plug two be
Asking the listeners to accept Plug Two as authentic and original.

Himself, not what you read or write
Telling people to judge him based on actions, not what they read or hear from others.

Right is wrong when hype is written
Writing about hype incorrectly leads to a lot of confusion.

On the soul, de la that is,
Discussing how the perception of soul and its identity is essential.

Style is surely our own thing
The group has their distinct style, and nobody can take that away from them.

Not the false disguise of showbiz
The industry sometimes has a way of making artists look fake.

De la soul is from the soul
The group's identity and music come directly from their being.

And this fact I can't deny
The group speaks to their genuine identity, which they cannot hide from the world.

Strictly from the dan called stuckie
The song is from Cons or Stuckie's perspective.

And from me myself and I
Also from the perspective of the group members.

Glory, glory hallelu
Saying that they will have universal glory and appreciation.

Glory for plugs one and two
Referencing both members of the group.

But that glory's been denied
Despite all their hard work, they haven't had the recognition they feel they deserve.

By kizids and dookie eyes
Some people have failed to give them recognition because of their judgment.

People think they dis my person
People have a habit of underestimating and mistreating individuals who do not fit into the so-called standard category.

By stating I'm darkly packed
The artist is fed up with being pigeonholed because of his color.

I know this so I point at q-tip
The singer tries to illustrate that they aren't alone in this and points out their bandmate's name.

And he states, 'black is black'
The bandmate echoes that black is black and real issues cannot be ignored.

Mirror mirror on the wall,
Addressing the reflective surface again.

Shovel chestnuts in my path
Requesting the reflection to stop obstructing his path with things that don't matter.

Please keep on up with the nuts
Urge the mirror to focus on what's essential.

So I don't get in aftermath
So that there are no ill-effects in the long term.

But if I do I'll calmly punch them
Showing assertiveness and willingness to stand up for oneself.

In the fourth day of July
I.e. the country's independence day, where people celebrate their freedom.

'Cause they tried to mess with
Because the singer feels someone tried to take his public image and manipulate it.

Third degree, that's me myself and I
Stating that they cannot be pushed around and manipulated. The ethos of their image is not up for discussion.

It's just me myself and I
Being oneself doesn't depend on the opinions of others.

It's just me myself and I
Being oneself is vital and nothing else matters.

It's just me myself and I
The message is so crucial; they repeat it again.

It's just me myself and I
The message is so crucial; they repeat it again.
