J.Cole - Lost Ones (Nick P. Remix)

J.Cole - Lost Ones (Nick P. Remix) Studio version

Lyrics below-


dear loving mother, i could never ask for another.
you did your best to raise a good group of blood brothers.
and now i stand here feeling on top of the world,
but i know i'd never be here if my toes were still curled.
how could you put me first through the highs and lows
when everyone knows that i should've suffered all the blows?
words can't describe all the pain that you've been through,
yet you still took the time to change my grey skies to blue?
do you remember when i smiled as a child
on that rainy day because you danced with a style that was wild;
or when you taught me how to pray, how to say to God all the things that i am grateful for today.
i don't know what pushed you to persist when i was in the shadows of addiction taking hits,
but you finally got your son back and i want you to see, i love you for the love that you gave me.

(chorus)
we all go through our ups and downs
but when it all hits the ground, only family's around.
true ones that'll love you till the end
lend a hand or an ear when you need a loving friend.
if this is how it's going to be, count me in
because i do not want to go back to that life of sin.
keep on moving forward when you seem to frown,
family and friends will help you turn it upside down.

and to my paps i know i made you the villain,
so when things got rough, i considered you too children
but i never took the time to see the shoes you were filling.
waking early just to pay for my perfect day.
do you remember when i'd call you by your first name,
tell you your the one to blame for my actions and my shame?
putting more weight on your shoulders,
as the days passed by you looked a little older from carrying those boulders;
but never once put them down.
whenever mama would frown you'd use your strength to turn her day around.
i finally see the man that you truly are, could've bought a nice car, saved up money and went far.
probably thought about it, but you make decisions with your heart,
and thats probably why my old opinion of you did depart.
never thought i could be a considerate man, but just by living your life you've showed me that i can.

(chorus)
-we all go through our ups and downs
but when it all hits the ground, only family's around.
true ones that'll love you till the end
lend a hand or an ear when you need a loving friend.
if this is how it's going to be, count me in
because i do not want to go back to that life of sin.
keep on moving forward when you seem to frown,
family and friends will help you turn it upside down.
-we all go through our ups and downs
but when it all hits the ground, only family's around.
true ones that'll love you till the end
lend a hand or an ear when you need a loving friend.

the point i'm trying to make is we all make mistakes
so let's take this time to break any habits that await our fate.
i hate the fact that i turned my back to my loved ones
but i'm proud to say, i don't live that way today.
so if i may raise a toast for tonight,
heres to everyone; may your family and soul unite.
because it feels right when my mama cries
with happy tears in her eyes, because her sons standing here alive.
and if you aren't with your family right now
your still living step nine helping me make my mom proud.
because each and everyone of you have helped me out
when i needed it most so Higher Power i don't doubt.
if you never had a brother or a son now you got one,
grandparents, a sister, or a mom; look you got tons!
this is one of those lovely gifts in recovery,
and if you can't tell here let me help you see.

(chorus)
-we all go through our ups and downs
but when it all hits the ground, only family's around.
true ones that'll love you till the end
lend a hand or an ear when you need a loving friend.
if this is how it's going to be, count me in
because i do not want to go back to that life of sin.
keep on moving forward when you seem to frown,
family and friends will help you turn it upside down.
down, help you turn it upside down.
help you turn it upside down.
