I know this person. He's hopeless Doesn't know what he's doing with his life Doesn't want to listen to any reason or truth We call that person a lost cause You’re a lost cause, lost cause, nothing but a fraud A person who deep inside knows he needs to pause And take a step back, realize nothing is all that Try to figure out your place in rap You’re a lost cause, lost cause, nothing but a fraud A person who deep inside knows he needs to pause And take a step back, realize nothing is all that Try to figure out your place in rap It started off so well… Everybody liked you You were the cream of the crop, you knew what to do You were spitting for the hell of it, writing the best bars Then all of a sudden you had to be a star And then the fame corrupted you, you let it all go to your head Rapping about guns, guns, guns as if you believed in lead Trying to be gangsta, caring way too much about image Makes me livid that I haven't seen this before But I thought, okay; this might be a phase Something he’s doing just to get himself made Make a name for himself so he can do the right thing But little did I know that he wasn’t going to sing About the issues of the world, only himself he cared He rapped as if he was the worst rapper there But the people clapped, made him believe he was a star Even though he knew that he wasn’t going to get far You’re a lost cause, lost cause, nothing but a fraud A person who deep inside knows he needs to pause And take a step back, realize nothing is all that Try to figure out your place in rap You’re a lost cause, lost cause, nothing but a fraud A person who deep inside knows he needs to pause And take a step back, realize nothing is all that Try to figure out your place in rap Years later he’s on top, focused on his ego Everybody loved him so he didn’t even know That the ego would destroy everything he loved He didn’t care, he just pretended to be a thug Changed up everything about his life, hid tons of details Trying to be from San Bernardino, that’s an epic fail Made people lose faith in him, that’s where the downfall began He couldn’t even win, people didn’t even give a damn He was hot shit for a while But when they found out the truth, they ran away crazy wild It would of been the end of his story But there was further allegory that had yet to be explored For there’s a lot of defects that was deep inside Kept hiding them pretending like it wasn’t a problem Couldn’t solve them, didn’t have any intentions Couldn’t find the direction so I believe now he’s a lost cause You’re a lost cause, lost cause, nothing but a fraud A person who deep inside knows he needs to pause And take a step back, realize nothing is all that Try to figure out your place in rap You’re a lost cause, lost cause, nothing but a fraud A person who deep inside knows he needs to pause And take a step back, realize nothing is all that Try to figure out your place in rap This is the shit that you don’t want to hear This is the shit that could break someone’s career I’m emotionally deep in this so I might as well say it Even though I can’t take it back, I’ll just parlay it You harassed those women and they got scared Trying to be masculine but you pissed off people there I don’t know if it’s what you said, or if it’s your intent Or if it’s your fucked up brain controlling what you present Tried to explain, but they didn’t even buy it Kept saying it as an excuse, even I didn’t buy it Of course your life is shit, you let it be shit And you didn’t do the hard work to make your life legit You know who I hate most in the whole wide Earth More than anybody who’s ever made me hurt More than any one-hit wonder who’s ever dissed me Guess who the song is directed at? Me
